Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Xbox series s console has got to be one of the best consoles for a person to get out there. The Xbox series s came with its own HDMI cable, for you to hook to a TV or monitor. It is also the perfect size for your desk and is smaller than a PS5. The performance of the Xbox series s is above and beyond, with its great graphics. Also the Xbox series s runs insanely fast.

I bought this to bring with me on trips because it is very small and easy to carry. It runs esports games like Apex, Valorant, and Fortnite pretty well, but the latest AAA games look and perform much worse on Series S than on the more expensive Series X and PS5. The 500gb storage capacity will fill up pretty fast, but if you only play a few games every week, it won't be too much of a problem. It is a good secondary machine, but if you don't have a console already I would recommend the PS5 instead.

Its an nice Xbox. Speed is fast, it's nice looking, and very portable. But at the end of the day, it is still Xbox, so of course, the problems that every Xbox suffers from still suffering with this one. It's pretty much Xbox one X/S, just with a faster speed. And more portable.

Great console plays games at high resolution and fadt speeds the only downfall is the storage capacity.

What a fantastic purchase! Storage is a little small but I knew that going into it

Everything about this console would make it a 5 star if the parent company wasn’t so greedy and horrible. Great price, great UI, compact and quality design/build- all around a great console experience. The downsides are just as substantial though. You have to spend the money on the premium version of the console to use your back catalogue of disk games. You cannot redeem your previously purchased disk games and have to buy them again digitally. I love the ease of use and quality of digital downloads, just wish there was a way to use all of the other games I own without buying them again or spending twice as much on the premium console. It is also deeply unfortunate you have to purchase a wired headset OR an Xbox branded/approved wireless one. It is unbelievably frustrating that we’ve reached a point where accessories are proprietary/limited. I have also gone through 4 Microsoft controllers in 2 years. They get plagued with stick drift or the headphone jack breaks. My final gripe is the price of storage/requirement for external secondary storage. All of these are another example of shareholders being prioritized over consumers (the only reason the company has success).

I love how lightweight and slim it is. It allows me to navigate from room to room easily. My games load really fast, way faster than my Playstation. I only took off one star because compared to my other consoles even my Xbox series X. This series S gets hotter and gets there fast at that. So I purchased a fan immediately.

Works very well so far. I can tell it’s a lot faster than my previous generation Xbox.

Our kids love their PS5 Series S. There are so many games they can play. The only down side is that the games are only virtual, but not a big deal to us.

This console works well, games run smoothly and look great. The 512gb model only has enough storage for a few Xbox series X/S games, you can't play any X/S games on an external storage drive

Made the mistake to buy the 512gb instead of the 1TB but overall it’s really good.

I've been playing the Xbox since 2014 when I got the Xbox One. In 2018 I got the Xbox One S and in 2025 I finally got the Xbox Series S with my brother. It's great for sure to finally be able to play games I want but I was also severely disappointed that Microsoft decided to raise their prices on everything gaming related. Thats why this gets A 4 star instead of a 5.

Great console, love that disks are no longer required for games, avoiding disks being scratched or misplaced! Game pass is also a great feature! I just wish it came with more internal storage considering you have to download all of the games onto the device.

The digital Xbox is pretty cool. It loads faster and the graphics are amazing. My only reasoning for a 4/5 is because you must have internet to use this console. If you have no Internet access I advise you to not purchase

It’s super small, fits on a cluttered dorm desk without starting a fire, and loads games way faster than my laptop that sounds like it’s about to take flight. The graphics aren’t 4K or anything wild, but for 1080p it looks clean, and Game Pass is clutch when you’re trying to avoid buying $70 games. The only real downside is the storage—512GB disappears faster than my motivation during finals week.

Good for the price. I dislike not being able to play disks but considering its $200 cheaper than the series x that's something that I'm willing to deal with. Runs games good. and at this point games online are about the same price

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!??????

Nice and small a lot faster overall i think it’s a great console for guys who don’t game that much but do use it most the time I like it

Needs to have more storage space. It's compact and ready to move from tv to tv

I like how the series s is small and not bulky like the one or the x, it is also so mich faster to load and download games than the last gen consoles.
