Much less expensive than the Xbox Series X, the Xbox Series S is aimed at players who prefer to bet on the dematerialized, and who wish to enjoy the new generation of video games on a reduced budget.
It integrates in particular a processor similar to that of the Series X, 10 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. Its power is rated at 4 teraflops, and its native definition is 1440p with the possibility of upgrading from the image in 4K.
