The Microsoft Xbox Series X is already on display at a brick and mortar store

Microsoft is not launching the Xbox Series X until later this year, but the device is already on display at one Saturn store in Germany. Specifically, Saturn is showcasing the console at its Xperion E-Arena in Cologne. This is not the first time that we have been offered a hands-on look, which was provided by Austin Evans in March.

However, this is the first time that the next-generation console has been seen at a brick and mortar store. The images were posted on Twitter by @KeemaMr and show the console encased in a large perspex box. The console is only a prototype, but it should represent the final design of the Series X. Additionally, the photos show that four feet have been included on the long side of the console, so you could lie the Series X on its side should you prefer.

The Series X still looks rather large regardless of its orientation, but Microsoft is also expected to release the smaller Series S. The company is yet to announce the latter console, but it has all but been confirmed by leaked packaging of a "Robot White" Xbox controller.
