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.

    Hindsight WOWIE ZOWIE

    With Hindsight, this was an amazing deal! Now Microsoft is charging an arm and a leg...an another arm to get the budget Xbox. Without hindsight, it was a good deal. With the old way of thinking in the games industry, I would've thought the Xbox series S would be $150 or at worse $200 by 2025. If I wanted to I could sell mine for a profit, but the portability with modern gaming is too good to give up (yes i know about Steam deck, Rog ally, Switch- which I have, etc.). I'm shocked how much I've traveled with this thing. However, 512 GBs of space is diabolical for a digital only console AND you can only use Microsoft made up SSD's. The Xbox software takes at least a third of the space.

    i love this xbox but i’ve had some problems with it early on while getting it. it’s mostly just the xbox program itself like the menu buttons sometimes just don’t work (not on the controller i mean like the digital menu). it’s fixable with a refresh home button sometimes but just has some weird issues every now and then. also xbox game pass ultimate is so expensive and one time they charged me even when i didn’t authorize ❤️. i still love the xbox itself tho

    Great product for the price and it runs games really well, But you're definitely going to need an external Hard drive or the seagate expansion card.

    I've already had a series x for 2 years and bought this for the bedroom because of how cheap it was. Honestly playing on a 22-in 1080p TV. It works perfect. The hard drive is small but for me this is not a problem as I'm only installing a few games on this one anyway as the series x works as the main Xbox for the family. I still feel though that this would work as a great main Xbox, especially if you're shopping on a budget. I don't see you having a problem with it. The picture won't look as good obviously on a giant 4K TV, but if you're playing on a smaller display or if graphics aren't that important, I highly recommend this.

    Compact Great for Travel

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Surprisingly compact and capable little gaming console. I have the Series X which is huge compared to this one but needed something small to take it with me for travel to keep myself and my kids entertained while on a trip and vacation. Since I’m so hooked on playing Diablo 4 and remote play is an issue when internet speed reliability is a requirement, having a direct game access is better suited for my needs. Along with buying this console, i also bought an external monitor. For what it is, it is more than enough to play even the most demanding games. Though the games i usually play are just casual and mostly RPGs and Simulation, this is more than enough for me personally. With that said, you cant beat the price for what it offers. Highly recommended.

    I was never into gaming, but decided to purchase this as a Christmas gift (FROM: me - TO: me). Man am I glad I did. This is easy to use. Easy to setup. I (personally) love the idea of being digital only. I’m not wanting a bunch of games laying around. This with an xBox Game Pass is PERFECT!!! I get to play so many games because of the pass. The console is sleek and performs great. I have not had any issues. The controller is easy to use and performs very well too.

    Fast Xbox load times are cut by 95%. Fortnite takes seconds instead of minutes. GTA is about 50% faster at loading. Games run incredibly smooth. Just make sure you close your games in the background they will slow down your Xbox. Download times are 95% FASTER worth every penny.

    Ive owned every gaming console since the inTelevison. Google it. The series s is a great little console with enough horsepower for most people. Its best selling point is ofcourse the price. The resolution is great on a 4k tv. Most people will not be able to tell its not true 4k. Since I’ve had kids ive downgraded to being a casual gamer and this console has been just fine for me. Xbox game pass is also amazing. Ps5 is struggling with putting out games these days so xbox has the edge here.

    Wanted to get this Xbox since my Xbox One died out on me. This one has been great to me, nice and quiet. Solid FPS in any game, no complaints. 512GB storage is good unless you want to get the newest large GB games today and keep them installed, otherwise get an external HD / SSD or larger internal xbox drive.

    I love it! I've been a gamer over 20 years and this is an AMAZING system! . . . The only draw back is that unless you buy the Seagate Expansion Pack you CANNOT download or really even play any games, I am happy to say that on December 15th I will FINALLY be able to get the 1TB memory card from Seagate so I can FINALLY play games, YAY!!!

    The Xbox Series S is a compact and affordable console that offers fast load times, smooth gameplay up to 120fps, and supports up to 1440p resolution with ray tracing. It's a great value, especially when paired with Xbox Game Pass for access to a huge library of games.

    I’ve have both the PS5 and Series S. They are both great, but the price point the Series S is offered at along with the ability to run games at 1440p 120hz is amazing and a lot more practical than the hdmi 2.1 4k 120hz the series x and ps5 offer at the moment. The game selection for Xbox is also step ahead of playstations, in my opinion, and if you are subscribed to game pass you’ll have a massive selection of games to download free of charge.

    Is compact and it runs as expected,but they should have no long before this console came out that one terabyte should be the minimum in any console. You constantly have to delete things. Not to mention the expansion is really expensive it's about half the price of the console.

    This Xbox Series S packs a lot of power for its small size and the price makes it very worth it. Would recommend this to any parent who wants to get their son into Next Gen gaming without breaking the budget. It can play every next gen triple A title without worry and up to 120 FPS.
