Customers are saying

Customers love the Xbox Series S for its affordable price, impressive performance, and ease of use. Many appreciate the compact size and the inclusion of Game Pass, although some find the storage capacity limiting and the lack of a disc drive inconvenient. Positive feedback frequently highlights the console's smooth graphics and quick setup. A few users mentioned occasional overheating and short controller battery life as minor drawbacks.

    Thanks to the ultimate game pass, I’ve already logged over 48 hours of Starfield gameplay! The load times are quick, rarely see frame drops, and overall runs smoothly. If you’re considering the more affordable Xbox then I highly recommend this one!

    Great package deal that comes with 3 months free of game pass. The console is small and lightweight, which is great because I travel often and perfect for using in a hotel - I prefer to use my own monitor travel size. It’s perfect!

    It is a very good item since it is cheap and it is also a state-of-the-art console. It is a very good option if you are looking for something quality-price. I have had it for almost 1 month and it has not given me any failures.

    Very fast boot speeds the loading time for games are really fast and 120hz support for high refresh rate monitors. 500gb isn't much considering that games are almost 100gb to install so def buy a harddrive or get the 1tb edition

    I brought this xbox for my 12 year old son. He loves it so far. It is his first Xbox so I do believe it is great as a beginner system. The only con is that it does not accept disc but other than that it is a great purchase.

    Very happy with purchase. Was debating between Xbox series S and X and this series S bundle with game pass has been great so far! Plenty of storage to download games and no lag issues that I've noticed so far. Great deal!
