Customers are saying

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.

    Bout this for my daughter. This little machine is amazing! I also got a Series X and I was more excited to see what this thing could do. If you have gamepass, this serves as such. This is a gamepass slingbox. Games load so fast and sometimes faster then the Series X due to the lower res textures. Love the auto hdr feature that adds it to games that never had it. My daughter booted up roblox and wow, it loaded really quick and looks way different because of the hdr added. Perfect system for the below hardcore gamer. You WILL run outta storage quickly.

    I don’t use physical copies of games so the digital version has been perfect. I also usually try to only play 1-2 games at a time so the space on it is not an issue at all, but it’s nice that you can expand storage if necessary, It’s quite small so it fits perfectly where I need it to and it’s super responsive and quick. I haven’t owned a new game system since I was in high school so it’s quickness was a nice surprise. Also picking it up at the store was the easiest thing I’ve ever done(as opposed to finding one to purchase).

    Pairing this with a gaming 1440p monitor is a dream combination. The series S can pump out amazing frame rates and performance on games like Forza Horizon 4 and other larger games while making indie games run to their best potential. Its a gamepass machine with a ton of tricks up its sleeve. If you're considering it just get it, its such a joy and has such a cool sleek design and minimalist footprint.
