It seems that the rumors were true! Microsoft probably had plans to officially launch the Series S soon, but this morning’s leak made them hurry up. They have now confirmed the sibling’s existence with a Twitter post and also confirms that the price will land at $ 299, which is really nice for the wallet.

The accompanying image gives a better look at the Series S than the first leaked picture, showing off how thin it is and confirming the lack of a disc drive. As with the leaked imagery, the Series S is pictured standing upright, but the orientation of the Xbox logo suggests itā€™s expected to be more commonly used in a traditional horizontal configuration.
