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.

    Perfect Compact Gaming Console

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I no longer use discs so the Xbox S was a great option. I play forza with a Logitech G pro and it works so well. It is a very compact console so I can bring it back and forth among different rooms and houses. Xbox is always the best console.

    Bought to upgrade my son’s Xbox one for Christmas. Runs smoother and pictures is better then previous gen. Only downside is any external hard drive will not play newer games directly off hard drive forcing to buy the internal if you want storage that allows to play all the games

    Purchase was quick and easy. The item was ready for pickup sooner than I thought. This is a perfect gift for beginner gamers. I love that it has game pass with tons of games you could play via subscription. I like that there are subscription options as well.

    Not worth it

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was a recent owner of the Xbox series S and I was very disappointed with the performance of the console. Many times when I would be playing games, especially EA FC The console would not be able to handle the processing of the game and the players would just do weird movements like kicking the ball out of bounds without me doing so and also walking sideways instead of walking straight in the direction they are pointing them in with the joy stick. Also, another issue that I faced was when I was playing call of duty Warzone many times upon loading up the game. My player would just start pointing up in the sky without me even touching the controller. I contacted Xbox Support regarding this issue and I was also disappointed with the way that they handled me as a consumer, and they did not fix the issue nor did they offer any solution to rectify the issue. I recently sold my console and purchased a PS5 instead which I absolutely love and it works so much better. And it’s an added benefit that I am able to have a physical disc drive. But I have been mostly streaming games off the Internet and I must tell you it is a better system and worth the price which cannot be said for its counterpart Xbox. And it is very disappointing to me as I recently returned to Xbox because I had very fond memories when I was growing up playing my Xbox 360 And playing halo games but it seems Microsoft has slipped over the years.

    Excellent product and it was the highlight of my daughter's Christmas presents. Easy set-up and the three months of game downloads at no extra cost was a superb bonus! Purchase was easy online and I picked it up at my local Best Buy store.

    Bought this system for my son for Christmas, arrived on time, the system was at the pickup store at the exact date and time it was said to be. This gift made my sons whole year worth it, and that is huge to me.

    Performance is better than expected

    Good value system for the money. It’s true you’re not getting the performance of the Series X, but the system does a good job for what we needed. I replaced an Xbox One S with this console and the differences were instantly noticeable. Worth the upgrade if you’ve been holding out this long. Snappiness of the new processor is worth it alone.

    I love the new compact look of the X Box. I like that it’s sleek and not bulky like previous consoles. It makes it easier to take when traveling out of town.
