According to the trailer, the Xbox Series S does not have a disc drive, it supports 1440p at up to 120 FPS, Direct X ray-tracing and variable frame rate. In addition, it packs a custom 512 GB SSD, 4K streaming playback and 4K upscaling for certain games.
As for the size of the console, it is small. According to the video, the Xbox Series S is 60% smaller than the X. Of course, you can expect the console to include an expandable SSD storage option. 512GB is not a lot to go with and games are now hitting 100GB which means users are able to store around four of them at a time. The fact that it does not come with a disc-drive also means it relies solely on its storage. It could be a problem.
