Microsoft’s Xbox One S is expected to be launched on the 2nd of August 2016 in selected regions. It is an update to the Xbox One and one will feature a capacity of 2 TB harddrive. The console is slimmer, sleeker and sharper.

The Xbox One S is significantly smaller compared to its predecessor; 40% smaller to be exact. In addition, the console now has an Infrared Blaster along with a built-in power supply. Hardware improvements done to the new console allows it to now support 4K and high dynamic range videos.

Aside from that, the unit ships with a new controller as well. This new controller comes with textured grips, improved Xbox Wireless Signal capability, as well as Bluetooth support for gamers to be able to shift easily between using the controller on the gaming console and their PCs.

Unfortunately, the Xbox One S will take longer to be released in our region. Speaking of which, the gaming console will be priced at US$399 (about RM1,600). We will have to wait for more news from Microsoft to know more of when we will see it released in Malaysia. We’ll keep you updated.
