UPspec gaming, the company behind the Xbox Series S xScreen attachment, has overhauled its shipping processes to make the product more accessible worldwide. The move mostly benefits American customers at present, with the move to a US-based shipping system from the previous Australian location.
The upshot of the move is that shipping is now much cheaper for US customers, which probably broadens UPspec's market quite a bit. We thought the device was a great little accessory for Series S users when we went hands on earlier this year, especially if travel is part of your regular gaming routine.
UPspec is also making positive changes for customers globally, which is a bonus. Worldwide postage now calculates shipping and tax expenses at checkout, making the whole process a clearer one for potential buyers. This isn't a particularly cheap accessory, so it's great to see the company be more upfront about costs before shipping out to customers.
The xScreen is now back in stock online for anyone who's looking to pick one up! Over here in the UK, pricing before shipping is set at £219.

How long can you play it when it's conencted to your power station?
I don't really see this fitting into my lifestyle since it will rely heavily on having access to wifi. My on the go gaming is usually in a car or at the family cabin. My Steam Deck and Switch are much better suited for offline gaming and the form factor is much better for traveling.
@Somebody I´m agreed, plus we still with online DRM on Xbox and his hight pricce not help.
A thing this product keeps making me think about: we might not get an XBox portable handheld (at least not one that isnt meant to be a stream client) but maybe, by the end of this generation, we get a super-thin Series S with a built-in screen and sold as a laptop-style portable.
@Krysus 🤣🤣🤣good to know I'm not the only one. I have the bluetti portable power station(268wh), with a portable monitor(15", 30w), and the ps4 hooked up to it for outdoor adventures, as well. Lasts me about 3.5hrs. #GamingOnTheGo
@Krysus my main complaint about the Switch is the lack of 3rd party support. It's sad that 360 games like bioshock and the first 2 borderlands games were major Direct announcements. It's really outdated hardware. It's also kind of a joke that Skyrim is full price $60 on switch but like $10 everywhere else. I love the steam deck though.
I bought a Switch Lite and I don't use it much to be honest. The Steam Deck looks more appealing but I want to see if there's a version 2. It's not just a question of power because I still use my 3DS. Switch tries to be a modern console but doesn't reach the minimum standards. Even the screen is rubbish, in my opinion. The OLED version might be better but I'm not buying more overpriced Nintendo hardware with rubbish joy-cons. No, because I have a Wii U and the best Switch games are Wii U games and the best Switch exclusives will be available in better form in the future, e.g. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3 have serious performance and graphical issues on Switch, and those are first-party games. Switch is the most disappointing Nintendo console.
The xScreen is a nice option for those with a Series S that want part of the portability of other consoles.
