    I’m a casual X boxer and this is perfect for me. I use it as a game pass rig and love it. It’s mind blowingly small and the UI is super fast and snappy! The perfect thing to hold me over while I was looking everywhere for a PS5!

    Fast, compact next-gen gaming if you don't need 4k The X-Box Series S is a slick, fast little machine that is a great entry point for next-gen gaming. If you pair it with Microsoft Game Pass you won't even need to buy any games to get started - or - EVER really. It's not for everybody and hardcore gamers will want to wait for either an Xbox Series X or a PS5. WHO THIS IS FOR - * People who want to get in on next gen gaming without breaking the bank. * PS5 owners who want to play Microsoft exclusives or have access to Microsoft game pass. It's a perfect "game pass machine." * People who don't own or don't really care to own, a 4k UHD TV. * People who don't put a priority on having top of the line performance - i.e. non-competitive gamers, kids, etc. * People who don't need physical media for games / entertainment. WHO THIS IS NOT FOR - * Hard core gamers who want to take advantage of all the bells and whistles that the most powerful next-gen consoles have to offer (i.e. Series X & PS5) * People who want to game in full 4k @ 120 hz / 120 fps. The Series S maxes out at 1440p. * People with a large library of Xbox / 360 / Xbox One physical games and / or DVDs. The Series S is digital only. The jury is still out on how future proof the Series S will be once developers start really taking advantage of the Series X's horsepower. But for now, and honestly - I upgraded to a Series X - the differences are negligible.

      Hey there,

      We couldn't be happier to hear your son is loving his new Xbox Series S Console! 23/7 may be a little too much time in-game, but who are we to judge. We're thrilled he is enjoying hours of exciting gameplay with his new setup! Thank you for sharing your story with the community. We appreciate your feedback, and are glad it was a good investment for you and your family.

      Happy Gaming,

    Bought for my other half. To replace her Xbox One S, It's a massive improvement for a fair price. Though I dislike the smaller base storage that's easily and quickly filled. Along with the fact that expanding that storage is massive cost sink since you can't just get a compatible SSD, you have to buy specifically from Microsoft.

    Excellent piece of kit for a den, office, study or to travel with. SSD and CPU just as fast as the Series X and the compact size is remarkable. Perfect for game pass, 1080/1440p, for traveling or if value is most important.
