Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you’re on the fence and think the Series S is only a 1080p game console...think again. Every optimized for X|S game that I have played (which is most) has run in stunning 4K 60fps with HDR. I upgraded from Xbox One S and this console looks and runs light years ahead. You will not be disappointed if you can’t get your hands on the Series X. The Series S will give you more than you would expect. The absolute only reason I would say to wait for a Series X is if you have a brand new 4K 120fps tv or monitor. Surprisingly the Series S can actually run 120fps but only at 1080p which is amazing for the size and price of this console. I don’t plan on upgrading my tv for another few years so the Series S is more than enough for most people. Just buy it and you will love it. It’s brought my love for gaming back. Thanks Xbox!

The console is great, but the controller was no good (severe drift, affecting even the Xbox Home Screen). Ended up sending the controller to MS for repair which was a mistake. The console is smaller than you think it is, making it easy to bring to a friends house.

This is a pretty good console. I also have the PS5 now so I use this much less and my siblings really use it as their own now. But for a while, it was my primary console and it was great. The Xbox interface is so smooth and simple to use. I had the Gamepass while I used it and it allowed me to play so many games without buying them outright. One of the bigger downsides of the console is the internal storage size which really only allowed me to have a select few games installed to play at any given moment. I knew that storage would probably be an issue when I purchased it but I only knew for sure once I already had it. Other than that, it ran every single game I played on it smoothly and its smaller form factor helped me save space.

Great product would definitely recommend buying this

I already have a PS5, and wanted an SX for Game Pass, but as you know they are hard to come by and reached on the SS. I already own a One X, and I am playing on a 2.1 4K TV, so I was worried this would not be an upgrade. I am very impressed,and honestly, this is the perfect little GP machine. I have run One X against it on the same tv and the difference is more than I thought. I’m sure you’ve heard the knock that it is not native 4K, but upscaled on my TV it is barely noticeable. The 120 FPS and ray tracing is very noticeable, however. This little machine is the best bargain of the new generation. This is not a PS5, but the perfect compliment to one or is perfect for someone looking for a next gen and find this one available. Three hundred bucks is the cost of 4 games off Game Pass.

I bought this console because I couldn't get my hands on a Series X because of the scalpers galore. I also refuse to pay $800+ for a $500 console. So I opted for the less powerful Series S console. That being said...this console is amazing!! I'm not the type of gamer that focuses on every pixel and framerate, or the density of the graphics. I'm just a gamer. If the game looks pretty, I'm satisfied. Series S does a great job at displaying these games. I play on a 27 inch LG monitor. The picture is amazing. The only thing I would complain about is the storage. By the time the OS is factored in, you only have a little over 300gb of space. Unless you buy external storage.

Really good quality console had it for about two years now and is still running like new! Would definitely recommend

Best game ever. Not sure why they’re making me type so much, but yea, I like the console a lot.

Best decision for a gift they absolutely love it highly recommend

A console that gives new and old players a chance to try something new and exciting at an affordable price point nothing beats that am I right?

We purchased this Xbox a few years ago now. Compared to the Xbox ones there’s a lot less issues. We like the no disc option, and to be able to run TV programs like Netflix and Disney+, which sales it an easy thing to grab to take on vacations so we have all of our shows/movies available. It’s very small and compact, and the cord to this doesn’t have that giant surge protector box.

Even without the disk slot, it is still an amazing console. I have quite a few games on disk, but they still run just fine on my Xbox One S. Got this console to play driving games like Forza.

I really wanted the series x but became impatient and these are a lot easier to get. I got the xbox, a lime green controller, and the game pass ultimate. A pro tip is to get the game pass from Microsoft for a dollar and then when you buy the series s, bundle the game pass ultimate for three more months for 33 dollars or so. Then you have six months of ultimate for about 35 dollars. The series S makes the pictures on my 4k tv look awesome. I already had an external hard drive from my original xbox one and I didn't have to transfer one thing. Setup was easy. Would highly recommend if you are willing to buy the game pass because that is the cheapest way to own this system. For reference, I am a casual gamer, don't play much and watch a lot of movies on my consoles. Hope this helps.

I bought this for my 11 year old son for Christmas. He absolutely loves it! He asked for the X-series, but he said the S-series is just as good (1/2 the cost too)!

I got this system before I got the Series X and it is basically the same thing just less expensive and with Game Pass you are in gaming heaven. Save your money and get this one instead of the X if you are a casual gamer.

This was a gift fpr my daughter she loved it and it works great

I just made the switch from PlayStation. I was worried I wouldn’t like Xbox but it’s turned out amazing. System runs great. Great size.

Most affordable next generation system with some very particular drawbacks: + Fast Loading - all new storage that is as fast as the SeriesX - Small capacity - only 500gb (versus 1TB on the X) -- expanding with USB speeds works for non S/X games but newer games want fast storage. Current 1TB expansion (fast) is $200 +Supports all of the latest next gen graphics - But focuses on 1080p for most TV sets Overall is a great system for low cost if you want next generation performance and don't need the highest end 4K. I personally use this as my kids system as a second system beyond the Series X for Dad. Note: is a FANTASTIC travel system, very small form factor that can travel in your cary on bag and lets you game when traveling for work

Faster load times. Will not be disappointed. Will need to purchase expansion memory.

Its vary cool i really like the system alot for the price but the memory storage not so much i filled it up so fast with like 3'4 games the only dawn fall for me!
