Xbox Series S (2020)

Release Date: November 10, 2020
Status: Released
Home Console Generation: Ninth (2020 – Present)
Xbox Generation: Fourth
Launch Price: $299 (US)
Units Sold: 2.8 million (2020)
Best-selling game: NA
Backward compatibility: Yes, all Xbox One games, and select Xbox 360 and Original Xbox games.

Unlike the Series X, the Series S only supports up to 1440p at 120 FPS. Its low price tag and small exterior mean that Microsoft had to remove features for everything to fit in the casing.
The Series S isn’t able to play backward-compatible games that are enhanced for the Xbox One X, however, it still supports backward compatibility for all previous generations. 
Unlike the Series X, the Series S is also missing an optical disc drive which makes sense as the Series S was designed for travel use. Travelers would prefer to have all their games digital over CDs so it’s easier to take along on their journey.
