Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had the Series S for a few months now and I have no bad things to say about it. Load times are great with the SSD, games look good, and everything just works the way you want it to. The value is also amazing if you pair it with Game Pass. Sure, you can get more power and built in storage with the Series X, but for people who game casually and don't care too much about having 4K graphics, the Series S is a no-brainer. I also like the design of it, it's very compact and looks nice enough to be displayed front and center of your entertainment center or even right next to your TV. All in all, it's a great little machine and I can't think of a reason to give it anything other than 5 stars. GG Microsoft!

Very good console and ive had no problem with it at all.

Awesome little machine you get so many features and power in such a small and simplistic package. The console is super compact, blazing fast and super quite. Power is very impressive for such a small machine, games run very smooth and look crisp depending on your display. You are getting next gen features like ray tracing and quick resume, the latter of which is not even available on very pricey high end PCs. On the downside you can only download games, but with the value of gamepass, the transitioning of software to digital platform and the danger of going into stores during this pandemic I see many advantages to going all digital. Also you do not need internet to play games already installed on gamepass. You only need it to install new games.

Quick and easy, no hassle to add more to my console ! Asked what i wanted and got it done. System is great and would recommend to anyone

Great option if wanting a next gen console. Like this form factor compared to the X series because you can get a screen for this from a 3rd party and I can travel everywhere with it!

I understand that for the true gaming enthusiast, some of the specs have limits that may -in a few years- seem a little underperforming compared to the Xbox x. But for what is optimized forX/S this machine is unbelievable both in price and capability.

I used to gave a Series X before I upgraded to a PC for my personal gaming. As my kids have grown my wife and I decided to get the Series S to change up “TV time”. I’m shcked at the graphic quality, load times, and network speeds for being almost 1/2 the cost of the Series X. Perfect console for those gaming on the sofa in the living room and/or for kids! High recommend. 5 Stars from me.

These are fantastic!!!!! I have the 1TB for my home, I’ve purchased 2 for my kids, and 1 for my grandson. There easy to take with you on any occasion. Great for TV streaming. Resolution is beautiful and system is fast. It will fit in nearly every place in the house cause it being no bigger than a shoe box. Highly recommend. I only wish expansion cards weren’t so expensive.

Best decision for a gift they absolutely love it highly recommend

Would recommend for people with minimal games or buy storage

Husband loved it! That’s all I need to say. I don’t understand why they force you to say more. It’s not genuine if you do that. HOWEVER, he said was one of the best gifts I ever gave.

Good console, if you can’t find or afford a Series X or ps5. i have this and a PS5, very satisfied with graphics. Obviously not comparable to a Series X or ps5. But if your are coming from ps4 or Xbox one, it’s a upgrade. Xbox game pass is fire. Gets you into next generation gaming at a reasonable price. Console is very small, you can palm it like a basket ball. Sitting next to my ps5 it’s like a Miata sitting next to a ram 3500. Console is so quiet you can hear yourself blink. And they are super easy to find in stores. I recommend buying an external hard drive because your storage will run out pretty fast, if you have good internet then you can stream games. But that’s not always ideal. Just get the extra storage, and enjoy.

I already own a Xbox One S and wanted to buy a Series X since the kids were hogging the Xbox. I settled for a Series S since I couldn’t locate a Series X. So far it’s been really good. I’ve noticed the load times for the games I play has improved tremendously. I play a lot of Forza Horizon 4 and would typically wait 90 seconds on load screens to boot the game, but on the Series S it’s closer to 20 seconds. With quick resume there is zero wait, so that’s been great. My only gripe is the smaller storage on this Xbox vs my One S but external drives are cheap enough! I don’t own a 4K TV so the graphics are fine for me. If you own a 4K TV maybe it will be different for you. I was already playing all digital games so the lack of a disc drive has not been a burden for me. If I absolutely needed to play a disc based game I already have the One S.

Was definitely debating whether this was going to be a good choice because of the limited amount of storage but definitely best bang for your buck to get into the new gen consoles

This was a gift for my son. He has been going through it the last couple of years. I am so proud of him getting his BA Degree and helping support his girlfriend get her Master Degree. He had been playing in the original Xbox that I bought him in college and to help take some of the daily stress off of him I surprised him with this new Xbox system. He loves it. He said his experience of picking it up and how quickly the games load has given baby boy a chance to relax and enjoy his new Xbox.

We purchased this Xbox a few years ago now. Compared to the Xbox ones there’s a lot less issues. We like the no disc option, and to be able to run TV programs like Netflix and Disney+, which sales it an easy thing to grab to take on vacations so we have all of our shows/movies available. It’s very small and compact, and the cord to this doesn’t have that giant surge protector box.

I wanted to like the Xbox so bad. I grew up liking all the 360 games and what Microsoft had to offer to the console. As years have gone on I’ve noticed a bit of stagnant behavior with the console overall. The overall look and layout is always similar with minor tweaks here and there. Getting to the specs part, the Xbox does very well for itself. Often outperforming certain aspects from my ps5. The downside is, Xbox doesn’t have many enjoyable games in my opinion. I have games I enjoy here and there but it never gets better than that. I find myself playing more games on the ps5 or pc. If you need something durable that can propose needs like entertainment and the occasional gaming, the Xbox is definitely the way to go. The console got me to where I needed but I’m more fond of ps5 for now

Love the graphics, enjoy how fast it is, and I didn’t have to overpay for it!

My son loves his new XBox. He sold his PS4 and bought another newer version XBox. We will buy another one when it is time.

I bought this console for my girlfriend and she loves it. Best bang for the buck if you don’t want to buy the Series X or if it’s out of stock. The console is really powerful and a great option if you like to buy your games digitally and have Gamepass.
