Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is very underrated. Its fast and small, and is perfect if you want to travel with just a couple of "essential" games......or stash it in a room/place that wouldn't normally have space for a console setup. Just cant do 8K....oh well.

Great price awesome graphics good value for the money awesome upgrade

My mom-in-law purchased this as a gift for our Princess’ 15th birthday. She says it’s fast and easy to use and doesn’t wish to share it with her much younger siblings; yet. A 2nd console is still up for debate.

Storage is a big problem you have to buy storage card if you want to play more then 3 games only able to use a little over 300 GB the controller that came with it new out of the box the a button sticks down which is a huge deal for every game or watching Netflix not gonna be able to use it at all my old controllers will work better then it the console itself works well just wish more games could be played on external hard drive

I am very happy with my purchase. Just a few minor complaints. I love the size, and price point. It gets you into the next gen at a realistic price. I think the games run smooth. Sure they are not on same level with Series X or PS5 but they will do. My one complaint is I do not like the Xbox UI and the options for audio / mics. Just seems very dumbed down + hard to navigate.

Worth upgrading from the “one”. I also transitioned to a gaming monitor and it’s been incredible. Graphics/gameplay/ everything about it is worth it. Pretty sleek too, and much smaller so it looks good displayed.

It compact the graphics are good and the speed is good

Just picked it up today. The console is very small but powerful. Super quiet. This new system downloads games super fast and loads way faster then the other. And games look so much better. Hope this helps people. Glad I upgraded to this system.

All around great system! As long as you aren't looking to game in 4K, this system is amazing! It starts up and runs very fast, and games load quickly! My only gripe is that it is easy to fill up the 500 GB drive, but it can be easily managed with external drives.

The Xbox Series S is fast, powerful, and affordable. Quick Resume, 120 FPS, and Game Pass make gaming smooth and exciting. I loved it so much that I bought one for my little cousin—he’s obsessed! Perfect for any gamer looking for next-gen performance in a compact, budget-friendly package.

The Series S is good, but I wish I had bought another Series X instead. The X is worth the increased cost. But it's good they made this, as the previous generation One X would be 3-stars compared to it, and the previous generation One S would only be 2-stars compared to it. The solid state storage load times make all the difference, but 512GB isn't great.

Love it! I bought this for my wife for her birthday to upgrade for the Xbox one, performs great.

I purchased this product and did not expect much from it (given its price tag). However, I was absolutely astonished by the pure power of this tiny beast! The Series S can do 1440p60 gaming easily at an extremely cheap price. If you are a beginner to console gaming, or are on a budget; this console is for you.

It’s amazing this is only $300. Most people’s eyes will not be able to tell the difference between 4K and 1080p when the game is moving, and you won’t notice any perceived lack of detail because you’re just enjoying the game . Get game pass to go with it, it’s amazing .

It is small and perfect for my college dorm. It doesn’t have much space so if you like playing a lot of games at the same time you should invest in a storage pack.

Really affordable and powerful console I can play whatever game I want digitally. You might need extra storage but for the price is a good deal.

Outstanding! I bought this console I believe about 2 years ago and it still just runs at incredible speeds and has very good graphics! Highly recommend!!!!

This is my fourth XBox in my lifetime (OG, One, One S, Series S). This one works great. It is quite a bit smaller than even the One S that it replaced. I have it standing on the edge to conserve desk space (be sure you place it away from the edge so that it won’t fall to the floor if you happen to tip it over). I have not had any problems with heat. Games run properly and pairing devices (Elite 2 Controller and Xbox Wireless Headset) work great. Only complaint is that you can’t attach an external USB SSD and play games from the external storage. All games must run from the built-in storage or the optional Seagate Storage Expansion that plugs into a slot on the back. :(

I puchased this as a second Series console for my basement and traveling. I had the Series X and PS5 already but I wanted a system that I could easily move for room to room. I was pleasantly supprised with the quality of this little system. Being that its $50 less than the Nintendo Switch Oled this is the cheapest of the current systems and dollar for dollar the best! When pared with a Gamepass subscription the value and affordability simply can't be matched. $10 a month for over 100 games with new ones added all the time beats $70 for a game that only lasts 5-6 hours imo. Parents should really consider this system if shopping for a video game system this year.

The series s paired with gamepass is an amazing value and one of the easiest ways to get into next gen gaming. While it doesn't pack the punch of its big brother graphics wise, it is able to handle 1080p and 1440p without a problem so its perfect for pairing with a 1440p monitor or a 1080p tv. The quality of life improvements like quick resume and the speedy ssd make a bigger difference than you might expect, youll never want to play on an older gen console again. I ended up getting a series x when i bought my 4k tv but I kept the series s to pair with an older 1080p plasma tv so I could play games with my son and also use it as a media player/streaming device.
