The Xbox Series S is probably among the worst kept secrets in the industry right now. Leaks have been talking about a cheaper variant of the next-gen Xbox – internally codenamed Lockhart at Microsoft – for well over a year, while recent leaks have emerged time and again to mention the Xbox Series S by name.
Another one of those recently popped up, by the looks of it. Over on Twitter, @BraviaryBrendan uploaded pictures that continue to point to the existence of the Xbox Series S. More specifically, the console is explicitly mentioned by name on an Xbox Game Pass free trial code voucher that comes inside the box of a new Xbox controller. Take a look below.
Another recent rumour suggested that the Xbox Series S would be receiving new information before TGS 2020 later this month. That’s significant, of course, because that’ll finally put a stop to the leaks and Microsoft will finally be able to publicly acknowledge the console.
I got a new controller for my Xbox since mine was broken. Interestingly enough, the Game Pass Ultimate trial code sheet mentions the unannounced @Xbox Series S. It’s definitely a thing. pic.twitter.com/GX1rOYG5g7

Here’s some tea to add onto this: I bought this controller directly from Microsoft online. Bruh momento.
