Released last summer, the Xbox One S is 40% smaller than the original. The slimmer model also brings 4K Ultra HD and HDR (High Dynamic Range) support to the console’s specification.
The new pricing structure appears to be a strategic move by Microsoft, coming just hours before the official unveiling of Project Scorpio. The Scorpio’s debut is due to come later today, with the briefing due to start at 2100 UTC (convert to your local time zone here).
With the final specifications, design, price and even the name of the new console due to be revealed, we’ll be bringing you all the information on this event as it happens.
