I got a new controller for my Xbox since mine was broken. Interestingly enough, the Game Pass Ultimate trial code sheet mentions the unannounced @Xbox Series S. It’s definitely a thing. pic.twitter.com/GX1rOYG5g7

The console, if it exists, is still yet to be confirmed by Microsoft, but is believed to be a cheaper next-generation upgrade similar to the Xbox Series X but at a cheaper price point with slightly less powerful hardware for those who wish to upgrade without having to spend as much as a full blown Xbox Series X will presumably cost.

According to previous reports the new console was codenamed 'Lockhart' - the Series S will target a 4-terraflop GPU to it's bigger brother's 12-terraflops, and 7.5GB of RAM. It's the second of such leaks in the space of around a month, after the console was seemingly leaked via controller packaging last month. 

There's still no official word from Microsoft yet on the Xbox Series S, so take this with a pinch of salt. But for now the Xbox Series X looks like it's set to launch in early-to-mid-November with only a "November 2020" date still as precise as Microsoft is willing to officially confirm at the time of writing.
