After an early leak yesterday, Microsoft finally revealed its new version of the Xbox One, the Xbox One S, which is a slimmer (and white) console that is approximately 40 percent smaller than the original.

The new version of the console also includes an integrated PSU, an IR blaster and up to 2 TB of storage. In terms of graphics, the new console boasts high-dynamic range gaming and the ability to play 4K video and Blu-ray. There’s also a new wireless controller that has a textured grip, Bluetooth connectivity and increased range.

The new console is coming in August with a price of $299.

    Also, the Kinect will now require a USB adapter to work with this. So, yeah, RIP Kinect.

    Probably the same as the new PS4 4k. AMD updated the SOC to accomodate 4k.

    a good question would be is if this new version will use GDDR memory unlike the current XBOX One that is using DDR memory for the GPU

    Phil Spencer is by far the dumbest Executive in corporate America. Remember last summer: "There will be no slim version" There will be no upgrade." Honestly, they have missed the 4k boat already. That little shit with his bro gamer shirt and screw me Fonz leather jacket should be fired.
