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.

    Had the system for about 2 months at the time of me writing this review so the pros: no load times, a ton of games (if you have gamepass), easy interface, easy setup. cons:it runs really hot I first saw speculation about it when they first dropped back in November and thought it was bs turns out no it actually runs hot especially in comparison to the ps5 that runs way cooler ,now idk if that’s a space issue or what but it’s quite concerning being it’s hot no matter if your standing it up or on it’s side I wish Microsoft would address this issue.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback on your new Xbox Series S. If you're experiencing an issue with overheating, we recommend placing your console in a well-ventilated spot with 2-4 inches of clearance around it and to make sure its vents are unobstructed. Need more tips? Go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/position-ventilate-console

      Hope that helps,

    This is my first Xbox, and I'm loving it. There are a ton of games available, and the Xbox Gamepass is cheap enough and has enough games to last a while. I do wish that the storage was 1tb minimum, but my understanding is that extra storage can be purchased separately.

    I was initially concerned that I wouldn’t like this as much as I would have liked a Series X, but I really love this device! It’s perfect as a GamePass machine, and is small and does not take up much space. Seriously, it’s like the size of a Wii. I got the disc enabled PS5, but this is a perfect compliment to that.

    I only give it 4 stars because I dislike the controller tbh ps5 controllers are way better the Xbox controller is loud/clanky and just tacky overall otherwise it’s good for games and runs perfectly fine.

    I love games in general, for this generation of consoles I managed to obtain a PS5 a while back. I will probably be buying the series X once they become more available but this series S is great as my secondary console until then. It takes little space and is powerful enough, highly recommended.

    Huge difference as far as speed compared to the Xbox one x. Controller feels better than the previous models controller but still prefer the elite controller over it. Cheaper version of a PC. When have a chance get one or lucky based off the sales of these consoles and people stop hoarding them. It’s a good console
