Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s cheap, smaller than the Series X and better than the PS5 and I love it! I’ve had constant issues with controller connectivity that almost cost it a star deduction but all issues are simply fixed if you pull the power cord and restart. Also unhappy with storage space, but could temporarily solve that issue with an external HD. Performance wise, it’s amazing.

This is a great alternative to the series x and it’s $200 cheaper!

Very good console. No issues at all. Pickup at store was super fast and easy.

My kids love being able to play this console. They have a lot of fun.

Great entry level console for those looking to spend time gaming. Along with Game Pass, its an overall great buy for a child or those who would like to spend their downtime gaming.

My son was over the moon excited to get this for Christmas!

I was a little concerned about the negative press prior to release but now that I have had the console for a month I can say that it is absolutely awesome! It has already become my favorite all-time Xbox...The games look great and play very well...No it doesn't have the visuals of its older brother console but the games I've played look really good...The Auto-HDR really makes games pop!

Bought for the wife who isn't as huge of a gamer as myself but likes to dabble! I have the x and other then reduced graphics (but still looks pretty dang gd) i don't see much diffrence. Fast, quiet, small in stature, has quick resume, room for more storage. Great second console and u can actually get your hands on this one. Wife is happy!

First, I can't believe how tiny this console is. I have an Xbox One and it makes the Series S look like a switch. But that doesn't matter because it's a great gaming console, it's fast, quite and efficient. May not be as powerful as the Series X but that doesn't matter cause at this price point it is a great buy. Been having fun playing Gears 5 on it, definitely a hit for Microsoft.

Excellent value. This with Game Pass (use the Xbox Gold stacking trick--look it up on reddit to save big!) Is the best value in gaming. You will have years upon years of all the games you can play for less than $500 (console being $299.99 and game pass with gold trick for 3 years being about $200).

Excellent customer service In and out in 5 mins Product is awesome

Great console I was very excited when the purchase was complete after waiting.

Bought this to hold me over until I can find a Series X. My Xbox One X recently died (lightning strike). While the Series S is much faster on start up, game loading, and in-game menus, that is basically the only good thing I can say. The storage is way too small with the size of current games. The operating system takes up a huge amount of space, so I think there is only about 360 Gb available. I have a few apps, 3 games and the latest Halo MCC flight/beta loaded and I have less than 50 Gb left (90% full). It also doesn't output in 4K video. I have a 24" 4K monitor. I was not expecting such a video quality difference on a small screen. I'm assuming a large TV would be even worse. 4K output from my old One X was considerably better. If you are replacing a standard Xbox One, don't care about 4K video, and you have Game Pass (so don't need a lot of game storage space), this might work for you. Otherwise, wait and get a Series X.

I like the new XBOX S series system. It does not cost as much as the series X while delivering the lightning-fast boot-up and load feature. While I am disappointed in the fact the XBOX is no longer integrated with your TV and audio system, this smaller, sleeker system holds its own when it comes to delivering solid gameplay and a reliable system.

Ultimately I returned it because I was able to acquire a Series X. I was so impressed with the size and price of the Series S that I think anyone wanting to get into next gen gaming on a shoestring budget has the perfect option. Combined with game pass, the Series S is a no brainer

Only wish is that it had a Blu-ray player but I knew it didn't going in. Load times are so so so much faster than old Xbox

Best console upgrade I’ve gotten so far. Load times are amazing.

It compact the graphics are good and the speed is good

Fantastic purchase with friendly workers great customer service

Honestly a great current generation console. I definitely recommend game pass ultimate. Only complaint is storage capacity/ the proprietary sea gate expansion card. However, it’s easy enough to buy an external drive and transfer games you’re currently playing back and forth.
