Microsoft's Xbox Series S targets 1440p at 120Hz (or 4K at 60Hz) through a single HDMI 2.1 port with 48Gbps bandwidth and VRR/ALLM. Three USB 3.0 ports on the rear handle data and charging; the front USB-C port doesn't support video output. A standard HDMI cable is included, but upgrading to Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 unlocks the full 1440p@120Hz potential on compatible screens. Here's the complete port breakdown.
Xbox Series S with doubled 1TB storage in Carbon Black matte finish. Same performance and ports as standard Series S. Released alongside Starfield launch.
