Customers commend the Xbox Series S for its affordability, compact size, and impressive performance, especially considering its price point. Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    I really enjoy the upgrade from an Xbox one S to an Xbox series S so much faster and so much more crisp with graphics. Currently playing NBA 2k22, Fortnite, and GTA5(loads so fast it’s amazing). I feel like multiplayer is much smoother then before on the the “one S” the “series S” is a definite upgrade for sure and I definitely recommend taking the leap and getting one you’ll be glad you did!

    This is better than I expected. I have a Series X already, but bought this for my son. The size is smaller than I thought it would be. Being all digital is not an issue anymore with Game Pass. The price is good. This is a good alternative to the Series X if you don't care about some of the more "pro" features the X offers or if you already have a Series X and want something for a second room.

    I purchased this unit after waiting 12 months for the Series X to become available again. After purchasing, I wish I had not waited on the Series X. Its definitely as good for next level gaming.

    All digital Xbox Series S

    Since I kept missing out on the Series X restocks, just had to settle for this Series S model. Combined with a Game Pass sub, it's a great all digital machine that can play a wide variety of games. With that being said, some cons are you won't be able to play any backwards compatible physical disc games you already own. Its fast 512GB SSD can be a bit small since after the system files, you only get about 364GB of usable space.

    Series S is a little beast!! It is compact, silent, incredibly fast, and small. Silent with a consistent and smooth FPS with no stutters, and far better visual clarity, all for $300 bucks! The only drawback to the Series S, is the storage capacity. Microsoft save some money putting 512GB ssd but at the end.... you finished with 350gb** (approximately) to be used. But... you can still using your usb 3.0 or better portable drive to storage your previous (xbox one) games.
