It has been long-rumored Microsoft plans to release two next-generation consoles, one that is a high-end console and a second that is an entry-level console. The high-end console, the Xbox Series X, was announced last December.
The entry-level console, the Xbox Series S, has yet to be announced, but evidence for it has popped up more than once. Photos of the new Xbox Series X controller in packaging were posted last month with the side of the box mentioning it supports the Xbox Series X|S. More recently The Verge senior editor Tom Warren revealed potential specs for the Xbox Series S.
There is now even more speculation and evidence for the Xbox Series S being a real console. Two upcoming AAA releases for 2020, Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, have been rated by the Entertainment Software Rating Board.
The ratings have Xbox Series listed as a platform rather than Xbox Series X. It could be used as an umbrella term for Microsoft's next-generation consoles.
The Xbox Series X will launch in Holiday 2020.
