    It’s great and affordable for a next gen entry level console. Game Pass also makes it worth it. If you’re looking for a next gen console and can’t find a Series X or PS5 this is definitely what you should get.

    Finally got one of these and it runs pretty smooth. It is definitely an upgrade from the original Xbox one! Was smaller than expected but very space saving.

    Love this little console. Bought it to tide me over until I could land a Series X. Been using it to play gamepass games since there’s no disc drive. Plays most games at 1080p 60 FPS. Not as good as a PC or the series X but it’s good enough. The 512 GB SSD is a weakness for the console. After the operating system for the Xbox is accounted for, you get like 350ish GB leftover. An external HDD or one of those SSD expansion cards are definitely recommended in an era where games are routinely 100GB or larger.

    I’ll say this swiftly, the Series S with the game pass is the best bang for your buck compared to all next gen console deals so far out.
