Its new casing is 40% smaller than the original design and supports vertical orientation with a stand. The capacitive power and eject keys were replaced by physical buttons,<ref name="techradar-onesreview" /> the side USB port and controller sync button were moved to the front of the console, and its power supply is integrated into the console's casing rather than sitting externally. Xbox One S requires a USB adapter to attach a Kinect sensor, as it no longer includes the proprietary port used on the original model.<ref name="verge-ones" /> A free USB adapter was provided by Microsoft to Kinect owners who registered their ownership of Kinect and Xbox One S online, but this promotion ended in March 2017.

Adventure 2]]'' was browsed quickly on the screen for the public, suggesting that it was going to appear on the backward compatibility list.<ref>http://www.tssznews.com/2015/06/19/e3-2015-sonic-adventure-2-coming-to-xbox-one/</ref> However, it was not made backward compatible on the Xbox One until December 2017.<ref
