Customers commend the Xbox Series S for its affordability, compact size, and impressive performance, especially considering its price point. Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    Now I haven't owned an Xbox since I sold my 360 in 2014, and I got to say Microsoft did not disappoint with this console. It is a wonderful entry level console to break into next gen gaming. Pair this with game pass and you can even say that you can compete with budget gaming PC builds (I own a gaming PC myself). I love this little console. What I like most is being able to travel with this for gaming on the go. No need to try to lug my heavy gaming PC around.

    This little machine is a powerhouse! Despite the description saying it is not a 4K machine, it will run 4K on streaming apps and simple games like Ori. My girlfriend uses the Series S while I use the Series X. We both load into lobbies at the EXACT same time on games like Hunt: showdown and Call of Duty. The Series S loads and games just as fast as the Series X. I wear glasses and honestly I cant notice the difference between the two consoles when playing any game. Kinda wish I didn't spend so much on the Series X and just got two of these.

    Pros Great price tag to move up to next gen gaming Games play smooth and load times are fast Small sleek design makes it easy to put anywhere Controller redesign feels more grippy No overheating issues standing up or laying flat Cooling fans are quiet even under long play times Cons Get an internal SSD since you’ll run out of space Next gen games can only be played on an SSD Last week the controller disconnected and wouldn’t reconnect to the console it was an easy fix of removing the batteries, shutting off the console, unplugging it, and hooking it all back up

    Runs 1440p well. I was originally using a cheap hdmi cord, switched to a 2.1 hmdi cable and the difference is definitely noticeable. Storage is small, I did order the expansion card recently (on sale) which helped a ton, I was only able to have two games installed at a time which was extremely annoying. If you are fine with gaming at 1440p, then go for this.

    Very nice console if you aren’t really too keen on playing on a true 4K TV or monitor & do not play a lot of games...key word, not a lot of games, as this console only has 512 GB of internal storage. I only play NBA 2k and Call of Duty and it is perfect. I play on a 1440P monitor and it is beautiful and crisp. Only thing I do recommend is buying the storage expansion card because you will eventually run out of storage if you play more games than I do. I bought the expansion card just to be safe. Overall, very satisfied with the Xbox Series S next generation console.
