Microsoft took to the official Xbox Twitter account to confirm the console – it’s smallest ever, by the way – giving us the first price point of the next generation consoles. Xbox officially made the announcement few hours back on Twitter. We have a price tag as $299 (~Rs 22,100) & it does sound like a solid deal.

Having said that, detailed information on the Series S will be shared soon and judging by the press renders there will be no optical disc drive on this one. It is also likely to make use of the standing orientation rather than keeping it horizontal, just like the Series X.

As for the Xbox Series X, it is being reported that it could launch at a starting price of $499 (~Rs 37,000). Both the Series X and Series S are expected to officially launch on November 10.

We will cover in detail when we have details on series X launch, stay tuned !
