If we have been talking about the next two Xbox consoles for a long time on Xboxygen, the last few months have been almost entirely devoted to the Xbox Series X , the only console officialized by Microsoft. However, according to several sources, the Xbox Series S is still current and new details are emerging today.
Xbox Series S to be announced in August
There will ultimately be no Xbox 20/20 event in June since tomorrow will be the last day of the month.
However, and according to sources from Eurogamer, Microsoft would have planned to unveil the Xbox Series S in August. The console should have been announced at the E3 conference in June, but all the schedules have been shifted. Several reliable sources have been evoking August for the past few weeks for the reveal , and that seems rather logical.
To announce its Xbox Series S, demonstrate its strengths and show the public what sets it apart from the Xbox Series X, Microsoft must first announce the price of the Xbox Series X. Players must be able to compare the two and be an idea of what they could buy at the end of the year.
The Xbox conference in July will focus primarily on games from internal Xbox studios and we know that Halo Infinite will occupy a large part of the event. An announcement in August is therefore very likely to simultaneously announce the release date of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, but also their prices. And at the same time, launch the pre-orders.

The Scarlett family's Xbox Lockhart, similar to the Xbox Series X
It is also TitleOS , security expert and computer engineer who reveals the information of the day. According to his discoveries, the name Xbox Lockhart is still in the latest Xbox development kits dated June 2020, a very recent version.
The name Lockhart is even clearly mentioned by Microsoft in the notes of an internal publication this month, as evidenced by the two images below. There is indeed talk of a default mode, the “Anaconda” mode (the Xbox Series X), and of a “Lockhart” mode, which should correspond to the Xbox Series S when it will be officially presented.
All that's left is to wait before Microsoft releases this affordable, next-gen little sister to the all-powerful Xbox Series X.
In addition, another source confirmed the arrival at the beginning of June of the Xbox Series S which one always names by its code name, Lockhart . According to information from Venturebeat , the Xbox Lockhart should have been revealed on June 9, but with the delay of the PS5 conference , Microsoft would have decided to revise its plans and to postpone its announcement until later.
Xbox Series S: power and price?
Close to production chains and known for a long time for the reliability of its indiscretions (relating to various smartphones in particular), the Chinese site Mydrivers , revealed new elements last March.
According to his sources, the American firm was to reveal the Xbox Series S very soon. This new machine called Lockhart internally will likely be an equivalent of the current Xbox One S, thought to reinvigorate the range.
A new console designed for players less concerned with performance than the purchase price, the Xbox Series S would also be a springboard to Microsoft services.
For players looking for the absolute, the Xbox Series X would still retain its flagship stature: 12 TFLOPS of raw power, a state-of-the-art processor, an ultra-fast SSD, management of Raytracing and Variable Rate Shading.
What deliver the best possible rendering on a TV!
Xbox Series S: 4 power TFLOPS
In addition, the Xbox Series S should offer a power of 4 TFLOPS, three times less than the Xbox Series X and even less than the Xbox One X and its 6 TFLOPS…
The in-game performance of the Xbox Series S would however be higher than that of the current Xbox One X thanks to the brand new RDNA architecture of its integrated chip. Last year, some sources mentioned an APU Ryzen 4GHz with 16 GB of RAM, including 12 GB allocated to the graphics card and 4 GB for its OS.
If the price of the Xbox Series X is expected around 500 €, that of the Xbox Series S should be around 300 € according to these famous sources.
For a new generation product, the argument should hit the mark.
In order to reduce production costs and reach this floor price, it would also be possible that the console does not have a Blu-Ray player and plays the card of the dematerialized.
Between the tumult linked to the coronavirus and the cancellation of most of the international fairs (including E3 which was to be held from June 9 to 11), Microsoft must certainly ask questions and perhaps even readjust its communication plan initial.
Just like Sony for the rest, because many questions remain unanswered: will the release of the Xbox Series X and PS5 be maintained for the end of the year? At what price will the new consoles be offered, with which games and which services?
