Although the Xbox Series X is Microsoft's flagship next-gen console, the Xbox Series S is a less-expensive alternative. It's especially appealing to those who don't want to worry about purchasing physical copies of games, or for those who plan on streaming their games through a subscription-based service. The Xbox Series S is an all-digital console that's releasing on November 10th, 2020. Here's everything people can expect to find inside the box when the console arrives at their doorstep.

Fans are excited to get their hands on the new Xbox Series X, but the Xbox Series S is an all-digital option that is priced at $299.99, which is $200 less than the Series X and $100 less than Sony's all-digital edition of the PlayStation 5. For anyone looking to take full advantage of Xbox Game Pass or Microsoft's new xCloud service, the Xbox Series S is a way for players to experience next-gen titles without breaking the bank.

The Xbox Series S's packaging will obviously contain the console itself, as well as a power cord, but potential consumers may still be curious about the Series S's specs. At 60% the size of the Xbox Series X, the Series S supports ray-tracing just like the Series X. Both the Series X and Series S share the same main chip, but the Series S has 4 teraflops of GPU compared to the Series X's 12. The Series S also features 10GB GDDR6 of ram and runs 1440p at 60 frames per second, although it can potentially run in 4K.

Besides the console itself, the Xbox Series S will also ship with a Wireless Xbox Controller. The Xbox Series X and Series S are launching with several other controller colors, which are available now from online retailers and priced at $59.99. However, the Wireless Xbox Controller shipping with the Xbox Series S is Robot White to match the all-digital console.

A High Speed HDMI cable is the third and final item included in the box. While the Xbox Series X is shipped with an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable that can support up to 8K resolution, the HDMI cable with the Series S is only meant to support up to 4K.

Currently, there are two options for the Xbox Series S available. The standalone option, which comes with the console, controller, and HDMI cable is $299.99. An All-Access option is available for $24.99 a month for 24 months and comes with an additional perk: 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. No matter which option people go with, the console is set to release on November 10th, 2020.
