Microsoft's compact, all-digital ninth-generation console with a custom AMD Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2 GPU, targeting 1440p gaming at high frame rates.

The Microsoft Xbox Series S (model 1883) is Microsoft's compact, all-digital ninth-generation console, launched in 2020. Built on an x86-64 architecture, it pairs a custom AMD Zen 2 CPU with a custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU. It is designed for 1440p gaming at high frame rates rather than chasing the highest possible resolutions.

The processor has 8 cores and 16 threads running at 3.6 GHz. Graphics come from 20 RDNA 2 compute units clocked at 1.565 GHz, backed by 10 GB of GDDR6 memory. The result is a balanced package for modern titles, focused on smooth play at 1440p.

As a home console, the Series S has no built-in screen. It connects to a TV or monitor over HDMI 2.1, a modern video output standard suited to today's displays.

The design is one of its strongest points. At 65 x 151 x 275 mm and 1.93 kg, the console fits easily under a TV or on a shelf and is simple to move from room to room. Because it is all-digital, there is no optical drive, and games install straight to internal storage.

Storage is a 512 GB custom NVMe SSD, and a Storage Expansion port lets you add more capacity. For connectivity, the console offers 3 USB-A ports, Ethernet for a stable wired connection, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. As a home device it runs from mains power, so there is no battery to worry about.

The console runs Xbox OS, Microsoft's console operating system. It delivers a consistent, game-focused experience rather than an open platform for modding.

Ideal for: players who want access to current-generation games in a compact package, prefer a digital library, and play on TVs or monitors at 1440p with high frame rates.
