Australian startup unveils final handheld display for Xbox Series S

Australian startup UPspec Gaming has presented the final version of the xScreen portable display designed for installation on the Xbox Series S game console. The developers have already launched the gadget in mass production, and the device will go on sale in February 2022.

Startup UPspec Gaming has released a video on its YouTube channel showing the appearance of the xScreen portable display and demonstrating the process of unpacking the device. The gadget itself is an 11.6-inch display with an IPS matrix, 1080p resolution and a screen refresh rate of 60 Hz. xScreen attaches to the back of the Xbox Series S via USB and HDMI ports, and supports the design on the sides with special clips. In addition, the display is equipped with 5-watt speakers.

The manufacturer claims that the user does not need additional cables to connect the display, just the presence of the Xbox power cable that comes with the console. In addition, the product's website claims support for HDMI-CEC technology - if you close the display lid, the game console will safely turn off.

Together with the display itself, UPspec Gaming presented a collection of accessories. Among them you can see interchangeable mounts in different colors, stands for vertical fixation of the Xbox Series S with xScreen installed and a bag-case for transporting a game console, display, gamepad and all necessary accessories.

UPspec Gaming announced that it has already launched mass production of displays and is preparing to start shipping the product in February 2022. Pre-ordering xScreen will cost $ 250 (a little more than 18 thousand rubles at the current exchange rate). The manufacturer also announced free shipping worldwide.

In early July 2021, UPspec Gaming launched a fundraising campaign on the Kickstarter platform. In total, the startup required 13 thousand Australian dollars and this amount was raised in 20 minutes, and in total, more than 145 thousand Australian dollars (more than 7.5 million rubles) were donated to the development of the project.
