Update (9/8/2020 8:25AM ET):
Microsoft has officially announced the price of the Xbox Series S via Twitter. With what has circulated online, the recently leaked information confirmed by Windows Central about the Series X’s price and launch dates will most likely be true.
Update:
With another leak on Twitter by @_h0x0d_, this time with a short clip showing the size difference between Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, the probability of this being true has raised.
Microsoft is definitely going to unveil more details of Xbox Series S sooner than expected due to the leaks happening. We might get the actual price of Xbox Series X and the start of pre-orders.
Original Story
Ahead of its official promotional reveal, apparently someone has leaked the expected standard retail price of the upcoming next-gen Xbox code-named ‘Lockhart’. Based on this leak, it’s the rumored Xbox Series S, a discless baseline model of the premium Xbox Series X.
As reported by Thurrott‘s executive editor Brad Sams, the image of Xbox Series S shows a similar console design of Xbox One S. It has a nice base color of white with a black color palette for its air ventilation.
However, the glaring view of this image is the price tag. The Series S will potentially be priced at $299 – that’s going to be about Php. 15,000 (without tax) which would be potentially around Php. 18,000 to Php. 20,000.
Check the image below:
Lower pricing evidently means low-specs and as rumored the Series S will not have the same raw power as the Series X. This price-friendly next-gen Xbox targets those gamers who would likely stay with 1080p and 1440p monitors.
While there is no confirmation from Microsoft yet, please take this leaked information with a grain of salt. But if this is all true, then next-gen will surely be accessible to gamers who can’t immediately afford an Xbox Series X.
