The Xbox Series X console design, along with the Xbox Series X name and controller, were revealed in December 2019 as part of the annual Game Awards.
It confirmed a new approach for an Xbox console, a tower-shaped design, which has a larger volume than previous systems.
Although Microsoft did not reveal the Xbox Series X ports, size, or dimensions at launch, various leaks and estimates give us a good idea of what to expect ahead of time.
There’s also the Xbox Series S, Microsoft’s cheaper, lower-resolution next-gen console, which comes with its own smaller form factor.

First, let’s take a look at the design of the Xbox Series X console, which was revealed at the 2019 Game Awards with a first trailer:
Here’s a closer look at the system itself, using trailer images and official press photos released by Microsoft so far:
And as a bonus, here’s what the Xbox Series X would look like if it were thrown into the sea:
It’s worth saying for those possibly put off by the tower’s design, that it can be housed vertically or horizontally, giving you some options with your home setup.

These include:
- A power input (which does not confirm whether the power brick is internal or external)
- Ethernet connector
- Two ‘Superspeed’ USB ports (unknown if this is the same as the single USB port on the front of the system)
- Toslink audio port
- 1 HDMI 2.1 output (enabling Automatic Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for smoother lag. This single port also means there is no HDMI input, as seen with the Xbox One)
- A Kensington lock
- One port for SSD expansion card
Thanks to some analysis from Digital Foundry for the above.
We should add that this should not be confused with the ports revealed at AMD’s event in January 2020, which were later revealed to be based on a fake 3D model. Oops!
