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.

    Great cheaper option

    This system is best for kids who just want to do things like play fortnite. Parents this is the device you want for your kid if they are younger than 15. The bigger option series X is more for the older generation. This device is cheaper and plays games like fortnite at the same speed and power as the bigger version X. My only concern is sometimes it heats up after a while but it can easily be avoided if you stand the device up and let it breathe.

      Hey there,

      Thanks for recommending Xbox Series S, especially as a starter console for younger players. If you're still experiencing an issue with overheating, we recommend making sure that it's placed in a well-ventilated spot with 2-4 inches of clearance around it and that its vents are unobstructed. We hope you and your family have a lot of fun with your new Xbox.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    This was a great little piece of machinery. I enjoyed everything about using the XS. Enjoyed it so much that I decided to return it for the Series X. I don’t notice much difference between the two but I always buy the highest model.

    I got the series x first and then the series s console. The series s is my spare portable No difference other than storage. The Seagate Ssd card is 219 so for another 80 dollars you get a portable next gen xbox. I will get the seagate since you can use it on both.

    #GeekyTechyCool Worth every penny, truly a next gen experience in a small package. Even more worth it with All Access since I can remove the games I don't have time for and just download them again from the ever growing library Microsoft has.

    This is a great little console the presentation isn’t much different from the one but being able to play the new games and the old ones at a good frame rate is nice. the only downside I can see is the lack of base space to play the series s/x games those need ssd so any external hard drive won’t work only the 220$ memory card Xbox sells can give you more space and with cod or 2k being over 100gb a piece. your gonna need the extra space

      Hey Benjamin,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. As you mention, the best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console.

      Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.

      We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    Not quite.

    Don’t let 512gb fool you! I downloaded 5 games, and have only 75gb left maybe better to go for the larger size if you want more games. Also seems to disconnect from Wi-Fi frequently, causing me to have to re-join my Wi-Fi and re-enter my password. Also some elements are very hard for visually impaired people to see. Be prepared to sit closer to the TV if you are visually impaired.

    This game console was bought for the wife. She loves playing her Fortnite game on it. The graphics are amazing, 4K is on point and being able the connect to the 5G wireless network gives her constant epic gaming experience.

    Game Pass is the best thing going in gaming right now. 299 + 15/mo is the easiest way to get into the current gen of gaming and get hundreds of games to choose from. This is the best overall deal of any system currently… IF you can find one :/
