There's a quiet tension in the air and moments later, the fictional President of the United States steps forward to address the nation, according to the report. The trailer then reveals that a group of separatist mercenaries called the Pax Armata have conducted some kind of strike on New York City, with multiple horrific sequences of Brookyln's DUMBO neighborhood under fire as the Manhattan Bridge is hit by a missile, collapsing as subway cars plummet, as reported by Rolling Stone. Then, it is shown that in response, the US military and NATO allies appear to be going to all-out war to bring the collation down, with the president ominously declaring, 'It's over,' as reported by Rolling Stone. The trailer shows that there are haunting stuff, especially with excerpts of Bob Dylan's 1963 song 'Masters of Wars' reverberating over the footage, according to the report.

Everything you need to know about the Xbox Series X and S: Price, specs, games, and more
The longer you wait to get a new console, the better value you get. Sure, the Xbox Series X and S hardware haven't gotten any cheaper, but the quantity and quality of games make that initial pricetag far more palatable than it was in 2020. While the PS5 and Switch 2 also have their own subscription services that give you access to a library of games, none come close to the value of Game Pass. All that said, even this many years after launch it can still be hard to tell the difference between the Series X and S, or if either one is right for you. I'll walk you through everything you need to know about the Series X and S, from specs, games, controllers, and more. Xbox Series X and S specs Xbox Series X Xbox Series S CPU 8 core, AMD Custom Zen 2 CPU @ 3.8GHz 8 core, AMD Custom Zen 2 CPU @ 3.6GHz GPU AMD Custom RDNA 2 @ 1.825GHz w/52 compute units (12.15 TFLOPS) AMD Custom RDNA 2 @ 1.565GHz w/20 compute units (4 TFLOPS) Weight 9.8 lbs 4.25 lbs Memory 12GB GDDR6 10GB GDDR6 Memory bus 320-bit 128-bit Memory bandwidth 560GB/s (10GB), (8GB) 336GB/s 224GB/s (8GB), 56GB/s (2GB) Storage 1TB PCie Gen 4 NVME SSD 512GB PCie Gen 4 NVME SSD AV output HDMI 2.1 in/out, 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K, 8K HDMI 2.1 in/out, 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K I/O output USB 3.2 X 3, Microsoft Storage Expansion Slot USB 3.2 X 3, Microsoft Storage Expansion Slot Communication Ethernet, Wi-Fi Ethernet, Wi-Fi Controller Updated Xbox 4th Generation Controller Updated Xbox 4th Generation Controller Optical drive 4K UHD Blu-ray N/A 4K Support Yes Yes 8K Support Yes No Price $550 and up $380 and up Availability November 10, 2020 November 10, 2020 DT Review 3.5/5 3/5 If you consider yourself more of a 'hardcore' gamer who wants the best graphics, performance, and features, the Series X is the clear choice here. This is the more expensive option, but it holds nothing back in terms of CPU and GPU power, while the Series S is the more budget-friendly option that plays all the same games, only with a few concessions. It should also be noted that the Series S has no disc drive, while there are options for both disc and discless Series Xs. Recommended Videos Despite its age, the Series X is still a very powerful machine. There are some minor differences here between the Series X vs PS5, but the average person isn't likely to spot any differences. Xbox Series X and S design With a home console, the design isn't as important as it is for a handheld, but is still a factor. The Series X is about as utilitarian as you can get. It is essentially a rectangle in whatever color you choose, which makes it fit well with most modern decor. The Series S can be confused for a speaker, but it is so small that you can slot it almost anywhere. This makes the S very easy to take with you on trips if that's something you value. Xbox Series X and S price As of 2025, the price of the Series X and S have actually gone up, not down. Here's how the current pricing looks if you purchase a new system directly from Xbox. Xbox Series X 1TB with disc drive (white) – $550 Xbox Series X 1TB disc drive (black) – $600 Xbox Series X 2TB disc drive (black) – $730 Xbox Series S 512GB – $380 Xbox Series S 1TB – $430 Compared to its direct competitors, the Series X is more expensive than the base PS5 and the 2TB version is more expensive than the PS5 Pro, making the value lean more towards Sony consoles in terms of price for value. The Switch 2 is $450, making it slightly more than a Series S, but is not as easy of a comparison considering the power and portability. Xbox Series X controllers Xbox controllers have changed very little since the Xbox 360. The latest version has the same form factor, only with better build quality. You can opt to get a more expensive Elite controller that has some nice extra features like back paddles, but the standard controller is rock solid. Xbox Series X games At this point in the generation, you wouldn't have time to play all the best Xbox Series X games if you tried. This is where the value of Game Pass really shines since it gives you access to not only all Xbox first-party games, which include Bethesda, Activision, Blizzard, and more, but a rotating list of hundreds of other games, big and small. With rare exception, Xbox gets all the third-party games as well, so the only games you will miss out on are Nintendo and PlayStation exclusives. While that was a bigger deal in the past, the age of exclusives is dying so it isn't quite as big of a factor as it once was. Xbox has been spreading its own exclusives to other platforms, but there are still a few games you can only play on this console. Of course, there's also a ton of upcoming video games in the works heading to Xbox to keep you satisfied for months and years to come. Xbox Play Anywhere and Cloud gaming Play Anywhere is a unique system for Xbox that makes it nearly seamless to take your games with you wherever you go, even to other devices. Once you purchase a game on your account, you can access it from any other Xbox, PC, or select handheld device and continue right where you left off. Not every game has Play Anywhere support, but the list is already over 1,000 games long and more are constantly being added. Cloud gaming is another push for accessibility. Using the cloud, you can instantly start playing supported games without downloading them. This opens up the number of places you can play to almost anything with a screen, including your mobile devices. Granted, the quality of your experience with cloud gaming will rely on your internet speeds, and some games don't lend themselves to the slight delay you experience on cloud in the best circumstances, but it is a handy way to play games quickly and easily.

Amazon Prime Day 2025: Best Gaming Deals for PS5, Xbox, and More
The Xbox Series S is for the less heavy-duty gamers out there. While the Xbox Series X is a little more powerful with slightly better graphics, only people who are seriously into games will really notice a difference. And it's digital only so you won't need any discs – you can still buy games in the sale but you'll just be given a digital code instead of the physical product.

Xbox developer says any Series S game could be ported over to Nintendo Switch 2
A developer at Virtuos-owned Black Shamrock has said that 'any' Xbox Series S game should be possible to port to the Nintendo Switch 2, adding insight into the console's capabilities. In terms of the Nintendo Switch 2's capabilities, while some say it matches the PlayStation 4 in performance, others believe it is closer to the Xbox Series S, partly due to Nvidia's DLSS frame generation. In an interview with wccftech on July 7, Eoin O'Grady, technical director at Black Shamrock, explained how the Switch 2 could handle Xbox Series S games. O'Grady said the graphics card in Nintendo's new handheld performs 'slightly below' the Series S, but the Switch 2's use of DLSS, which is not available on Xbox, makes the GPU more comparable between the two systems. Regarding its processor, O'Grady noted that the Switch 2 is closer to the PlayStation 4, but said that 'any game shipping at 60 FPS on the Series S should easily port to the Switch 2. Likewise, a 30 FPS Series S game that's GPU-bound should also port well. Games with complex physics, animations, or other CPU-intensive elements might incur additional challenges in reaching 30 or 60 FPS or require extra optimisation during porting.' Black Shamrock has previously worked on titles including Marvel's Midnight Suns, The Outer Worlds, and Grounded, all of which could be candidates for Switch 2 ports.

Amazon Offers Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Peanuts, Prime Day Jackpot for Xbox Gamers
We know it's a very modern and silly problem to have, but it's so deeply aggravating when you go to install a new game on your Xbox Series X or S, only to find that you're out of memory. Sure, every big AAA game these days takes up 100 GBs somehow, but it's 2025 people, this should be an issue of the past! Well, you can help alleviate the issue with the right purchases, and if this is the problem you want to sort, then you should get yourself this Seagate Storage Expansion Card while it's on sale. See 1TB at Amazon See 2TB at Amazon The 1TB model would normally cost you $160, but thanks to a respectable 23% discount, you can actually pick it up for $123 from Amazon. Meanwhile, the 2TB model is currently down to $209 from $360, which is a massive 42% discount. These deals aren't listed as being limited time, which hopefully means they could be around for a little while, but there's no way of knowing how long they'll be live for, so if you want one of them, act fast to avoid missing out. This storage card is quite literally made to work with the Xbox Series X and the Series S. We don't mean it's third-party but approved, we mean it was designed in partnership with Xbox to make sure it not only works really well, but fits the general aesthetic, and is as seamless as possible to use. We know that installing extra memory can be scary, and to avoid that being an issue, this card can just slot into the back of your console and boom, that's everything you need to do to get it working. Once it's plugged in, you can choose to install games on it or the standard storage, and then when you're playing games, you can expect the same incredibly smooth experience you would normally get. Better yet, if something untoward happens and the memory card breaks, it has a lengthy three-year warranty, so it's easy enough to get it sorted if the worst happens. We think this is a really respectable deal. The 1TB model being 23% off and down to $123 is really good, but if you can afford to do so, then spending a little bit more to get the 2TB model while it's 42% off at $209 is worth it. It definitely depends on what kinds of games you play and how much money you have, but it's worth considering your options here. See 1TB at Amazon See 2TB at Amazon
