Xbox Series X and S

:The correct title of this article is Xbox Series X|S. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.
The Xbox Series, originally announced under the codename of Project Scarlett, is a family of ninth generation video game consoles and the fourth main incarnation in the Xbox family of home consoles. The successor to the Xbox One family of systems, the Xbox Series family of consoles includes the higher-spec Xbox Series X and the lower-spec digital-only Xbox Series S. The Xbox Series X was formally announced during on December 12, 2019 alongside the reveal of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the sequel to the critically-praised title , and the Xbox Series S was confirmed on September 8 via Xbox's official Twitter, following a significant number of leaks. Both consoles were released globally on November 10th, 2020.
The home console makes use of a controller simply dubbed the Xbox Wireless Controller, the successor to the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 released in late 2019. As with all Xbox controllers since the Xbox 360, the Xbox Wireless Controller features two joysticks, four face buttons (, , , ), two triggers and two "bumper" buttons, a Start button, and a Back button. The Xbox Wireless Controller also includes the advanced faceted D-Pad first included on the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. This new controller also introduces a Share button that allows players to share gameplay screenshots and videos online, similar to the ones found on the controllers released for the competing PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch systems. The Xbox Wireless Controller, while packaged alongside Xbox Series X|S consoles, can also be used with Windows 10 systems and the Xbox One.
A custom CPU was designed for the Xbox Series X based upon AMD's and RDNA micro-architectures, and uses a to reduce loading times. The Series X uses a two-level motherboard, a first for console gaming, to deliver better system performance overall, especially in comparison to the Series S. In addition to the Series X supporting up to 8K gaming resolution and 120 frames per second, both Series X and S include support for and ray tracing rendering techniques, much like the competing PlayStation 5. 
While the Series S runs the same CPU as the Series X with slightly slower clock frequencies, it uses a slower architecture and does not feature the split motherboard found in the Series X. The Series S does not include any optical disc drive, thus requiring the user to gain all software from digital distribution. It is intended to render games nominally at 1440p, with support for a 4K upscaler, at 60 frames per second, although it can go as high at 120 frames per second at this resolution. Otherwise, the console has the same functions as the Xbox Series X, including ports, expansions, and game support.
Microsoft states that the console's name is intended as a "soft reboot" of the Xbox brand, with more "Series" consoles potentially coming in the future, saying that Xbox Series X|S "is not a generation of Xbox consoles in and of itself, but more so a line of consoles for a brand that will be expanded on with new hardware in future Xbox series."
