The '''[[Wikipedia:Xbox Series X and Series S|Xbox Series X and Series S]]''' (collectively, the Xbox Series X|S) are ninth-generation home video game console home video game consoles developed by [[Microsoft]]. They were released on November 10, 2020, as the fourth generation of the Xbox console family, succeeding the [[Xbox One]] family. The Xbox Series X retailed for {{Inflation|USD|499|2020}}, and the Series S for {{Inflation|USD|299|2020}}.  '''The Xbox Series X''' has a 8-core AMD Zen 2 CPU at 3.8 GHz, 56 compute units (CUs) and the GPU is based on AMD's RDNA 2 with 16 GB of RAM. While the '''The Xbox Series S''' is CPU is AMD Zen 2 with 8-cores at 3.6 GHz, 20 CUs, and the GPU having 10 GB of RAM. The Kinect sensor and Kinect Adapter have been discontinued with these consoles. You can still use your Kinect with your [[Xbox_360_emulators#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|Xbox 360]] or [[Xbox_One_emulators#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|Xbox One]], but the sensor is not compatible with Xbox Series X|S consoles.

Additionally, the format is not supported by the Xbox Series X/S software. However, you can use an external USB CD/DVD drive to play Video CDs on your Xbox Series X/S, if the drive is compatible with the console and the video files on the Video CD are in a format that the Xbox Series X/S can playVCDs.

<!--==Emulation issues==It should also be noted that the vast majority of Xbox Series X|S games are also available on PC (similar to [[PlayStation_5_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation 5]], [[Xbox One emulators#Emulation issues|Xbox One (X|S)]] and [[PlayStation_4_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation 4 (Pro)]] situations in recent years), so there is increased lack of interest to emulate the console. Having said that, there are still considerable amount of games exclusive to those consoles, this includes games for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S that haven't been ported and titles lacking enhanced/next-gen update for PC. See [[List of notable ports#External_links]] section for all of those games. ==See also==-->*[[Controllers#Xbox_One_and_Xbox_Series_X.2FS|Xbox Series X/S Controllers]]
