Customer Ratings & Reviews

Coming out of the PS4/Xbox One generation, I had initially resolved to not pick up Microsoft's newest console. However, the availability of backwards compatibility on Xbox, as the lower price point of the Series S, eventually persuaded me to pick this up as a desktop console. For my purposes, this console is perfect. PlayStation will continue to be my primary console, but I am glad I got the Series S.

Bought this for my buddy when Series X’s were still scarce. Wouldn’t recommend. Sure, you’re gonna save a little money, but the performance when compared to the series x is pathetic. Considering it’s the “same generation,” it should have the ability to play the same games to the same extent. Do not recommend.

This Xbox has been amazing. Tons of family games to make family night even better.

I purchased this to replace my old xbox and I couldn't be happier

Easy to set up and access games from previous system using external harddrive

Great console however if you have disks buy the x this is online only

Let me start off by saying that this is an amazing console. I do not regret buying it. With the game pass, the options of downloadable games is almost limitless. I play all sorts of games on my Xbox and they all run very well.

Really is a great system! Series X not really a thing unless your 4K gaming and have a 4K monitor or TV. Save the money for now until the nicer 4K monitors come down in price. We set this up on a LG 1MS 1440p monitor and it rocks! 120fps all day long abs clarity is unreal! Plus Best Buy did us a solid and got this in on a Christmas Eve and was able to give it to our kids for Christmas morning. It wasn’t suppose to come in till after!

The storage becomes a problem, most games now days are almost 100 gb and the xbox only comes with 300 something after software updates

If you’re ready for next gen gaming but don’t want to spend a lot of money on a new gaming system then this is definitely for you! I had bought this a while back and it’s definitely a blast and for the price I would totally recommend! Of course your only downfall with the S is that it’s a digital system so no disc and it only holds 500gbs but you can always upgrade the storage.

I recently bought this from Best Buy. Great Console. Comes with everything and works perfect.

After having this for a few months, this is probably the best Xbox console to have. The system is fast, everything is snappy. The games load fast, BUT if you care for performance, wait for the series X. I used this console as my secondary choice. I do not plan on playing the newest games on here. Halo infinite beta looked okay, no different from halo 5. NBA 2K22 look good and played well.

Really fast and better than the one and I really really like it lol give me more

Love the new console. Way faster than my Xbox One S. Haven’t had any issues yet.

My son loves this thing. It was incredibly difficult to buy as a Christmas present and Best buy was the only company that really addressed the bots hoarding and reselling quantities. I really appreciate that and came back for other purchases that I would have made elsewhere. The series S itself is an amazing piece of technology. Just make sure you are OK with digital games only (which is the current trend anyway).

For the cheaper system it is pretty good it handles all the games ive had on Xbox at 60 fps and then some and newer titles are rendered perfectly to meet that at 1080p. Ashwell as the quick start feature is also delightful one major complaint is that the ps5 digital edition Price is only 100 more than this and has the same power as the ps5 with disk drive, i feel Microsoft could've had the same power like the competitor and just not had disk drive. overall good system but kind of a greedy move with the power lack compared to series x. the graphics in the series s is basically a gtx 1060-1070 xbox series x rtx 2080-2080ti power wise and memory ram wise

Has been a great product. Have owned for about 4 years now and am not disappointed!

Xbox series s is small and sleek this is the size consoles should be, the ps5 is huge compared to this, the series s performes quite well and 8s super fast, storage is lacking at only 512 gb, the price of extra 1 gb storage is almost as much as the console itself but if u can find it at a lower price its soo worth it for this tiny little beast

I really like that this console takes up less room on my desk than the Xbox One S I had before. Games load much faster than the Xbox One S I had. I do recommend purchasing the Seagate expansion card since the 512 GB of storage that comes with this console is a little light. The expansion card is very simple to install sits inside the console so there are no power or interface cables involved.

Everyone says that this is not a good buy but I disagree. I love my series S. With series X so hard to come but I could myself getting this and boy was I surprised by how well this thing is. Not as powerful as the X but it packs a punch. Great for anyone who has game pass and likes to buy digital games the one knock on it is the storage I think Xbox could have done a better job in that department.
