Incredible Xbox One S leak shows slimmer 4K console ahead of E3 2016 launch

A couple of amazing press images of the new, slimmer Xbox One have leaked ahead of the Microsoft E3 2016 media briefing at E3 2016 tomorrow.

Planned for an official unveiling at the event, the Xbox One S (aka Xbox One Slim) is thinner, has a 2TB hard drive and, if the leaked images are to be believed, sport 4K video output with HDR – for 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray support.

As far as we know, there’s no ability for 4K gaming, just the higher resolution Blu-ray playback, but it’s a massive step for Microsoft and, considering the refreshed PlayStation 4 won’t be at this year’s show, is bound to be a hit on the press conference day.

It looks, based on the pics alone, that the Xbox One S will come in white from the off. It will also be able to stand vertically.

Price details are yet to leak, as is a release date, but the leaked images also state that the controller itself will also be streamlined.

The Xbox team will undoubtedly be disappointed that it hasn’t remain a secret until tomorrow, but considering how good the new device looks, we’re sure that it’ll still get plenty of whoops and cheers.
