We have just entered what will be the fourth year of existence of the current generation of consoles and the movement is beginning. If a few months ago Sony already put the model on sale Thin of his PS5now it’s Microsoft the one who beats the drums of war around an improvement in the hardware of one of his machines. In fact, it is about Xbox Series S and it seems that the little one in the house is going to improve.
If we look back, you will surely remember how, over the last generation, Microsoft He took his ordinary Xbox One and transformed it over the years into two very different models: on the one hand the Xbox One S, white and without a disc drive, and on the other the Xbox One 4K. From these two consoles were born Xbox Series S
The Xbox Series S will be the first to hit the stands
As has become apparent in recent hours, Microsoft has decided that the first model to go through the update department will be Xbox Series S. We must not forget that this is the most popular model sold by North Americans and, therefore, the one with the best chance of selling if they launch an update. Yes, we already know that it is the one that potentially offers the least of the entire generation, but when success knocks at your door…
The new model of Xbox Series S bears the code name of Ellewood and the most important thing is that despite the changes, it will maintain its price set in the same range as the current model on sale: around 299 dollars PVC. Of course, we will leave with a machine with 1 TB of internal storage, like the special black model, put on sale last year to support the success of Star Field
Another element that adds to this Xbox Series S Ellewood is that we will gain a new USB-C connection port on the front, replacing the USB-A that it had until now. It is true that many peripherals and charging cables for controllers already have this USB-C connector on both sides, so an update was necessary, as was already the case with the PS5 and its Slim alternative.
More power for Xbox Game Pass
Now, being Xbox Series S a console without a disc drive and designed for To come down digital games only, Microsoft wanted to increase the speed of the Wi-Fi connection, so this model Ellewood will include the 6E standard, so even the cloud gaming It will be much smoother in the event that we fail to connect the machine to the local network.
This review of Xbox Series S will allow the pairing of Bluetooth devices, such as headphones or other types of controls which, as also assumed, could bring us a revolutionary gamepad capable, not only of pairing with any console Microsoft –and avoid problems–, but also do it via the Internet to –like Stadia– be able to play with it Xbox Cloud Gaming virtually anywhere we go and have an internet connection.
