Customer Ratings & Reviews

Small and lightweight but fast and packs a punch. The only downside is the lack of storage. But it has expandable memory.

Much better than I expected. I replaced my Xbox One X with this. This is much more powerful land the graphics are stunning. Load speeds are lightning fast. Controller feels more refined. The only real con is the lack of disc drive, but honestly it’s so much easier not having discs. Silver lining.

Use literally all the time. It’s fast, easy to use, and conviennent. Not enough storage.

Upgraded from an Xbox One S, and this console is far superior. Load times are amazing. Graphics don’t stutter at all. And it’s silent, like really, no fan noise at all. I decided to get this as a Game Pass machine, and I already feel like I’ve gotten the full value out of this console in a month and a half. Great next-gen console for a reasonable price.

A great console for the price the performance of the console is worth more than $300 and it quickly proves why the cost is way lower for what you get from it loading into games has never been faster and looked so good on console. The only downside I can think of would be the storage space but that’s such a small fixable issue with a lot of storage option available that I would not hold that against this console.

I know these are hard to find right now, keep looking. If you’re thinking of only getting the series x because of “better” game experience and you pass up the series s you’re making a mistake. I have both and honestly the series s is just as good as the x and it also loads a little faster then the series x. The only down fall is the series s is disc free so everything is bought through the store. Also, I would recommend getting the extra expansion card for memory.

Love it, love the size, performance is great. Yes the HDD size is small but it's good enough for my games that I play.

The internal storage is a let down when your top tier smartphones can match it byte for byte. Other than that, this is a solid upgrade for 90% of the gaming population. You can't find a PS5 or Series X? Trust me, that is honestly fine. This console does so much well for so much less money that you really aren't going to appreciate the minor shortcomings. Don't take my word for it, watch side by side videos on Youtube. The quality isn't THAT much worse game to game. Spend half, then use the leftover money for a game and a controller. Then buy yourself a value meal from Taco Bell like you know you want to as a reward for your frugality. You earned it.

I really love how small, powerful, and quiet this console is and having digital only actually takes all the stress of storing physical games. Microsoft has put a lot of Xbox 360 games on the store so that’s pretty cool too. For the price this is definitely a great deal and the fact that the console is actually available right now in 2021 is a huge plus. I just wish I could find a ps5 somewhere but oh well this is more than enough for now

Real small compared to the Xbox Series X which is great. Seems to run hotter than the other. Great gaming device

Very compact and quiet syatem. Quick loading with series x/s upgraded games. Good price to performance point

I love fueling my stardew valley addiction <3 … it is so much smoother to use than my PC and my PS3. My only critiques would be that Xbox controllers are a little annoying and don’t have the longest battery life (mine are wireless) and if you’re a big gamer that’s into a lot of different games storage might be an issue, regardless I’d still recommend buying.

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.

Love this Xbox it’s small affordable and runs great.

I'm very happy with the series S. Great graphics and quick load times at an affordable price. The only downside would be that it only has 500 gigs of internal storage. You'll definitely have to buy an ssd down the road.

This xbox series s is definitely great quality, amazing build, and afforable. Easy to travel with, easy to store on your tv stands or mount and definitely great its slim and fits pretty much anywhere. Doesnt overheat so can play for hourAsss

I'd been looking to upgrade to a next gen console for a while, so I was very excited when BestBuy had these in stock. The system runs very well and cuts loading times in half, even on games with infamously long load times (e.g. Fallout 4, Skyrim). The controller feels nice in hand and the visuals are also very improved from the Xbox One. I was also very surprised by how small and compact the console was (about 2/3 the size of the Xbox One X).

Love that this system is so small and so quiet it packs a punch and it does 1080p and 1440p flawless also if you own a 4k tv will convert to match your tv resolution some games can do ray tracing and will do quick resume like its bigger brother xbox series x well worth the effort to buy this as it does not use discs love it without having to hoard discs.

I own both Series X and now S . Honestly besides 1tb storage and the disk drive its the only big difference between both consoles. You can use a standard HDD to put your old games but I recommend putting XSX/S games in the internal hard drive or buy the SDD hard drive. It’s half maybe even smaller than the XSX and really great for travel as well. I recommend this console to who’s not quite ready for next gen (Example : if you don’t own a 4K tv 120hz with hdmi 2.1)

I love this Xbox! I didn't want the series x, only because I wasn't going to game at 4k, but if you are, I would go for that Xbox. If you aren't this Xbox is just as powerful, and it works amazing. It isn't even loud, and I can play all the new games on it. Also, only downside is the storage, I would for sure get an external storage just in case you have a lot of big games.
