Microsoft's new Xbox Series S console confirmed in leaked controller packaging
Microsoft is rumored to be unveiling its second, cheaper next-gen Xbox console this month, and it looks like it will definitely be called Xbox Series S. The Verge has obtained photos of Microsoft's new next-gen Xbox controller in white, complete with packaging that mentions the Xbox Series S. Twitter user Zak S was able to purchase the controller today, and we've confirmed it's genuine.

The new controller was sold on a resale site today, and the side of the packaging notes that the controller works with both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles. Microsoft has not officially unveiled an Xbox Series S yet, nor has the company even confirmed a white Xbox Series X controller.

First up is Facebook, where after months and months of rejection, finally managed to get a standalone Facebook Gaming app on the iOS app store. But they're not happy about what they did to make that happen (removing a ton of minigame functionality, mainly), and not shy about bashing Apple's policies after the fact.

Next is Microsoft, who recently announced that they were ending their tests of trying to get their game streaming service, xCloud, on iOS, even after they managed to easily get it on Android.
