    The Xbox Series S is perfect for your little ones, or anyone who’s an casual gamer. I recently bought one for the living room and one for my daughters room. With all the top games being free to play like Fortnite, Warzone, Apex Legends etc, this is one of the cheapest ways to get into gaming. Plus if you subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate, you will have access to a ton of games for $15 an month. Either way you go you won’t regret this purchase. The only con is the storage with only 512 GB SSD, but all you need is an USB hard drive to transfer all the games you’re not playing currently on to it instead of deleting them.
