It’s not bad but Xbox has little for 2 player games. Would enjoy it more if it had more options for racing and 2 player games.

The Series S packs so much performance into such a compact design. Games load lightning fast thanks to the 1TB storage and quick resume, and the graphics look incredible even without a disc drive. I love how quiet it runs, and it barely takes up space in my setup. Perfect for digital gaming, streaming, and everyday use — honestly one of the best gaming investments I’ve made!

My Xbox Series S Review

I’ve had my Xbox Series S for a while now, and honestly, I love it. The first thing I noticed is how small and sleek it is—it barely takes up any space, and it looks clean sitting in my setup. Even though it’s the “smaller” Xbox, the performance feels really impressive. Games load super fast, and Quick Resume might be my favorite feature. I can hop between games without waiting forever, which makes it way more fun to play.
The graphics look really good too. Sure, it’s not full 4K like the Series X, but everything still looks sharp and smooth, and I don’t feel like I’m missing out. It’s also really quiet, even during long gaming sessions, which I appreciate a lot. And with Game Pass, I always have something new to play—it makes the console feel like it pays for itself.
If I had to point out one downside, it’s the storage. With only 512GB, it fills up fast with bigger games. I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall a few times, and I’ll probably grab an expansion card down the line.
Overall, I’d say the Xbox Series S is a great console, especially for the price. It gives me next-gen speed and performance without breaking the bank, and I’ve been really happy with it.

The series s is so much fun i play it more than my series x lol its so compact and works so good. Its way better than i thought it would be. Pick up where you left off even when switching between 2 consoles no need to transfer your save because it saves to the internet. Makes an awesome 2nd console or kids console. A lot cheaper than a series x too. The graphics arent that much worse than series x and most games have a good framerate on it too. Go with 1tb tho youll need it!

This console is a great alternative to the Series X. Good graphics, smaller and a cheaper price. Plus, this console has 1 TB hard drive like the Series X.

Xbox series s review

The Xbox Series S 1TB is the perfect balance of performance and value. It’s super quiet, loads games insanely fast, and the 1TB storage is a big upgrade from the original model. The graphics look sharp even on a 1440p monitor, and gameplay is smooth thanks to the quick resume feature. I love how compact and sleek it is — it fits perfectly in my setup without taking up much space. Pairing it with Game Pass gives you a massive library of great titles, so you’re never short on games to play. Overall, this console delivers way more power and speed than I expected for the price. Highly recommend it!

Honestly worth the money. With how small and compact it is, it’s very easy to take on long trips. You would think with how small the console is, it would struggle to preform but that’s all far from the truth! Stong, powerful, lightweight, and small… It’s perfect!

Best Buy made the pick-up easy. Got home and set the console up. I was a bit nervous, but it was really easy. Great console even for beginners like myself. Nice graphics. Very sleek, and doesn’t take up much space at all. Able to play cross platform with family on the west coast.

Far smaller than the series X and plenty of performance for me! I travel a lot for work and this is small enough to bring in my carry on for me so I can enjoy some gaming while staying in hotels! A lot of fun to be had for a very fair price.
