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.

    Sold my series x when I bought my pc. There still a few titles I’d like to play on my Xbox that weren’t cross platform. I Decided to buy this and was impressed how good it look compared to the series x not that big of difference in my opinion.

    Great product for your buck. However I will encourage on purchasing the 1tb sea gate drive. As this console will only give you around 360 something SSD storage space (to use). Love the load times (just as fast as the series x) quick resume is slightly faster on this console vs the series x but we talking milliseconds. Graphics are great however because of the gpu power is a 3rd of the se series x power you can see some choppiness. “Things in the far will load”

    This console works great and is a huge jump from the older generations. Not a lot of issues with lag that I've noticed. I am considering on purchasing a Series X though because of how powerful it is. But for someone on a budget, this console will work great for you.

    A great system for a decent price for a non-desk gaming console. The graphics are not bad either and will play 4K if you have a 60 frames per second or 120 per second TV. You going to love game pass to because You only pay nine dollars per month. Trust me game pass is going to be everything!

    I bought this for my son, he loves his Bornday present. It's "Next Gen" enough for hom to get the benefits of the higher fps & enhanced graphics, yet easily fit in his room and easy on my wallet. I wasn't sure of the Series S, I own a Series X since launch. However I'm sold on the system.

    phenomenal value for a next gen experience! I have a hard time telling the difference on my 40" 4k screen from my SX console in 4k on my 55" if money is an issue or you need a second room xbox do not hesitate with the Series S, I love how small it is compared to the hulking ps5 and fridge SX

    wanted an X model but went with this because it became available at msrp! only complaint is the space! if there are any X/S optimized games they only work on the built in drive or the $200 1TB expansion card! but other then that if you don't mind not having a ton of space its a nice system!

    Cheaper than the Xbox one X but nearly just as good. This this such a good console if you are looking to play next gen games but don’t want to break the bank.

    Fast load times, great graphics, and the controller is easier to use than my previous experience with the PS4 controller. Get one! And with the Game Pass, it's a blast to picks from over 100 games to play on demand (after downloading, that is...) The design also looks very nice chilling near my TV.

    This system is a great alternative from the series x, the storage could be the only bad thing about it but you can buy a Seagate memory card and that takes care of that problem . Its worth the buy with game pass

    I like the S. it’s small size allows for easy placement and transportation. Also cool that you can play all the X games from such a small console. I really don’t miss the disk options as I play mostly digital games anyway.
