Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox Series X console will be hitting store shelves later this year, we know this. But recent months have seen rumors swirl around a less powerful, less expensive version targeting 1440p, all-digital gameplay rather than 4K. The cheaper console had a rumored code name of said to Xbox Lockhart, but leaked packaging for a next-gen Xbox controller, discovered on sale by a Reddit user, shows its official name as the Xbox Series S and a someone posted on Twitter that he’d received a gift card for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with a reference to a console with that name. After a dribble, the leaks have ramped up to include some basic specs; notably, that it uses the same processor as the X but a lesser GPU, has no disc drive, and is about half the size of its big brother. The controller packaging notes that the controller works on Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, PC, Android and iOS devices. The user, Zakk_exe, claims to have bought it on OfferUp for $35, and that it came with a code for Microsoft’s Game Pass Ultimate subscription service.
