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.

    Worth the upgrade. A good compromise from the never available, more expensive series X. Video quality, movement, loading speed, game playing speed and everything is much improved from older Xbox. Worth $299.

    Haven't had any issues. Wanted to wait nearly months after before leaving a review. It plays my X/S games smoothly. Example, Cyberpunk seems to play smoothly on this, compared to the One X. I recommend this console.

    I hesitated to buy this because there are no titles for the next gen of XBox that you can't play on the XBox One. I picked it up with the Game Pass deal and I am glad I did for the loading times alone. Coming from a Day One XBox One (2013) games load in an instant in comparison to the old XBox One. Solid state drives are amazing. Worth it. I knocked a star off because its 512GB is too small for any next gen console.

    Great console, really see a difference. Get a new gen console for a better budget price with everything I wanted. The only thing I find bothering me is how incredibly small the storage on this console feels now that games are over 100gb each.

    While this console has no disk drive, you can download and Xbox game from the Xbox store. Load Times are much faster than the Xbox one. Can connect usb external hdd and transfer games to internal storage to play.

    Spectacular video game console, with access to the entire new generation for a small price, the quality it has in that small space where it was built is impressive, the engineering applied in this console is really new generation.

    Honestly I was gonna get a ps5 but couldn't find it at retail. So i settled and I'm surprised on what i was missing out. Maybe if i would've bought a 360 back in the day i would've been an Xbox guy.

    Love this console. So annoyed with not being able to get a “next gen” console without overpaying, I tried the Series S. So far, I love it, buying the Game Pass is a must. My only complaint would be the lack of storage.

    Honestly mostly got it to play some 360 games I miss, but got game pass and has some good games. Graphics are nice too. The only downside is storage and how expensive the upgrade is.
