While Microsoft hasn't sought-after Lockhart, the codename can also be found in the company's Xbox One operating system, coextending references to Anaconda and Dante. We understand this spare next-gen Xbox elate will snowslide coextending the Xbox Series X providing Microsoft doesn't cancel it at the aftermost minute. Lockhart will likely be named "Xbox Series S," which explains why Microsoft trademarked the "Xbox Series" branding.

This spare Xbox elate will be key to Microsoft's pricing tune-up for the verging generation of consoles. The foursome has already single-minded to introducing its Xbox All Lenient subscription for the Xbox Series X, a cavalcade that includes a console, Xbox Live, and Xbox Game Canyon for a monthly fee. "Xbox All Lenient is going to be disquisitional to both our snowslide for Xbox Series X and just the overall generation," said Phil Spencer, Microsoft's Xbox chief, in a Game Lab Live keynote beforehand this week.

Microsoft currently offers an Xbox One S All Directory Reissue subscription for $19.99 a month that includes Xbox Game Canyon Ultimate. It's reasonable to imagine that this Lockhart elate will be offered in a agnate way to focalize persons into Microsoft's subscription offerings. Microsoft is also bundling its Promptness xCloud game streaming technology into Xbox Game Canyon later this year, in yet culling encompassment to eternize its subscription service.
