Microsoft may launch new Xbox Series S in August this year
Microsoft officially announced the successor of the Xbox One game console “Project Scarlett” at the E3 game show last year. At the end of the year, Microsoft officially announced that the console was finally named Xbox Series X, but said it would only be released in 2020. Because they haven’t finished research and development yet.
At present, some game media claim that Microsoft may be the first to launch a game console code-named Lockhart in August this year. This game console is actually a reduced version of the Xbox Series X. It is reported that it will be named Xbox Series S.
The information about the Xbox Series S that we have obtained now indicates that the quality of the Xbox Series S will be limited to 1080p or 1440p resolution. Of course, this is definitely not comparable to the Xbox Series X, but the size of the Xbox Series S is smaller than it. The price is also much cheaper.
Someone reported that the Xbox Series S has only 7.5GB of memory, which is designed to attract players who want to play games on the new platform of the Xbox Series X but do not want to spend so much money to buy a new console. However, due to functional limitations, the Xbox Series S runs the same game as the Xbox Series X, and the performance of the image quality and loading speed will be greatly reduced.
It is reported that Microsoft originally planned to announce the Xbox Series S at this year’s E3 game show, but the show was forced to be canceled due to the coronavirus epidemic, so Microsoft may announce the Xbox Series S at the Xbox 20/20 show that it promised to hold once a month.
