So this console will play titles like Elden Ring....with visuals that look virtually the same as my original Xbox One. Youll find yourself selecting "Performance Mode" over "Quality Mode" so that games are playable...but it completely kills the next-gen experience.

I recently purchased the Xbox Series S, and overall, I’m really happy with it. The design is compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to fit into my entertainment setup. Despite being the smaller version of the Series X, it still delivers impressive performance—games load super fast thanks to the SSD, and the graphics look smooth and sharp even at 1440p.
What I like most is the value. Paired with Game Pass, it gives access to a huge library of games at a reasonable price, so I never run out of things to play. It’s also very quiet while running, which is a big plus compared to older consoles.
That said, the main limitation is the storage. The 512GB fills up quickly if you’re downloading a lot of big titles, so an expansion card or external drive might be necessary. It also doesn’t support native 4K like the Series X, but for someone who doesn’t need the highest resolution, it’s more than enough.
Overall: A fantastic console for the price—perfect for casual and mid-level gamers, or anyone who wants a next-gen experience without spending as much as the Series X.

The Xbox Series S has been a great console to own. I really enjoy how compact and portable it is, making it easy to move around the house or take with me when traveling. Despite its smaller size, it runs games smoothly and offers an excellent next-gen experience.
One of my favorite features is the backwards compatibility. Being able to play older Xbox titles along with newer releases gives me a huge library of games to choose from, and everything runs well. Quick Resume is also a nice touch, letting me jump right back into games without long load times.
The digital-only setup works fine for me since most of my collection is digital anyway, and storage can always be expanded if needed. Pairing it with Game Pass makes it even better, since there’s always something new to play without extra cost.
Overall, the Series S is a solid choice if you want a powerful yet portable system. It’s affordable, efficient, and gives you access to both classic and modern Xbox games in one sleek package.
