Microsoft’s Xbox Virtual Press Briefing was leaked by Twitter user Walking Cat, the same user that leaked Xbox Series S, launch date, and price of the next-gen Xbox.
Xbox Virtual Press Briefing was an event meant to showcase Xbox Series S and announce the now confirmed All Access expansion to 12 countries, and the addition of EA Play for Xbox Game Pass. The pre-recorded show is hosted by Xbox’s Senior Director of Marketing, Cindy Walker as she discusses with Phil Spencer and other key members of the Xbox team the design of Series S and why an Xbox console is the best option ahead of next-gen gaming.
The leaker broke down the Xbox Virtual Press Briefing into four videos, most of the information has been already confirmed by Xbox, however, a recent tweet by Phil Spencer suggests that it was the company’s intention to air the show next week.
I know it's been a wait for price, date, pre-order date. Thanks to the community for their support and encouragement 🙂 Great to see the reactions, really proud of how the team handled the unscripted announce (was supposed to be next week but oh well…). Can't wait for launch. https://t.co/CxXWDVmmNw

Xbox Virtual Press Briefing reveals that Xbox Series S was designed by Xbox in collaboration with AMD, the custom SoC is based on Series X’s architecture, this means that the smallest next-gen console features Zen 2 and RDNA 2 technologies. It’s also confirmed that Series S will feature the same expansion port as seen on Series X, a very important feature for the digital console with very limited SSD size.
