Xbox Series S is all about Game Pass – Engadget

Microsoft has actually finally announced its budget next-gen Xbox, the $299 Xbox Series S. That rate is appealing, however the cuts to storage and graphical power … not a lot.
We understand that the Xbox Series X will be $500, and history has revealed that gamers will hesitate previously dropping that sort of cash. For Microsoft, which launched the Xbox One at $500 and paid the cost, there needs to be a plan B. Just slashing the cost isnt enough. Microsoft is also planning to provide the Series S as part of a membership deal with Game Pass Ultimate for simply $25 each month. Which has us thinking: Does Microsoft wish to sell consoles, or subscriptions?
