    I love this Xbox! It freaking updates while you’re not even using it! So when I want to play games that are constantly updating (COD, Fortnite, etc.) it’s ready to use instead of having to update when you turn it on. I love Xbox in general and this one is amazing!

    The Xbox Series S is easily the best-kept secret for anyone who wants a next-gen experience without the "next-gen" price tag. After using it for several months, I am genuinely impressed by how much power Microsoft packed into such a tiny, sleek console.

    Best Kid Console

    Perfect xbox for kids, it’s lightweight, affordable, low maintenance, and can play all the newest games (as of 2026) that their friends at school are playing like fortnite. It’s also good for casual gamers who want an affordable console that can still play the newest games. Simply put, If you have experienced the ps4 or xbox one and want a new console, this is an upgrade. If you have played on a series x or ps5 and want a new console, this is a downgrade.

    Love how tiny this Xbox is. It’s perfect for me, as I really only play 1 video game and the rest for Netflix and peacock. Good quality and fast!

    Xbox Series S Review: A Next-Gen Powerhouse!

    The Xbox Series S is hands-down the best gaming console I’ve ever owned. From the lightning-fast load times thanks to the custom SSD, to the stunning 4K visuals and buttery-smooth frame rates, it delivers a truly next-gen experience. Quick Resume is a game-changer—being able to jump between multiple titles almost instantly is incredibly convenient. The performance is rock solid, whether I’m playing AAA blockbusters or indie gems on Game Pass. Speaking of Game Pass, the value it offers is unbeatable. This console is quiet, sleek, and powerful—everything I hoped for and more. Microsoft really knocked it out of the park! If you're even slightly considering an upgrade, do it. The Xbox Series S is worth every penny

    The Xbox was great and after a few weeks of use it does exactly what I expected out of it! I never had a console before but it was extremely easy to pick up, over all great buy and even going to buy accessories to make it even better!

    Made the mistake to buy the 512gb instead of the 1TB but overall it’s really good.
