    120FPS AND 120hz refresh rate!!! FINALLY KEEPING UP WITH PC PLAYERS IN PC LOBBIES!! All of the games feel super smooth and fast! The Xbox series s also has ray tracing for games like Call of duty Cold War wth at make the graphics really stand out when that option is enabled! My only issue is the storage space because I play A LOT of games so I would definitely recommend an external seagate storage drive or wait for the new SSD price to drop!

    Xbox Series S Review

    I have both the series X as well the series S. I would say if your budget is less you can go for series S, however if budget is not a problem then definitely go for series X as it supports 4K

    It’s so sleek and less bulky than the other series. Fits perfectly in the small space.

    This is my first Xbox system. I have been a PlayStation user since the original. I am very impressed with this console. The 'quick resume' is amazing(offline games only). This feature allows me to jump back and forth between games almost instantly without wasting time. The game pass is a great value. I am playing through tons of high quality games that range from AAA, popular indies and lesser known indie games. The console doesn't emit too much heat is fairly quiet. I am a bit disappointed with the exclusive games lineup as it's really weak, for now anyways. There is no disc drive and unfortunately the base hard drive is also bit small with only 512GB. Indie games are no problem but if you play the latest releases digitally such as call of duty, you will need to purchase external memory. Overall a great system for a great price. Perfect as an introductory console, travel console, or budget next-gen alternative. Game pass is a must!

    This is my second one and i also have a series x . It is a very small console , i can fit it in my wife's purse if i had to . Super fast load times and 120fps . It is whisper quiet and a bargain when paired with Xbox games pass . There are 100s of games available for download and even though the HD is only 500gb the download speeds make it almost a non-issue if you have decent internet. For the price of a Nintendo switch you can have a really good machine , it may not play in 4k but will do 1440p on some games.

    Runs 1440p well. I was originally using a cheap hdmi cord, switched to a 2.1 hmdi cable and the difference is definitely noticeable. Storage is small, I did order the expansion card recently (on sale) which helped a ton, I was only able to have two games installed at a time which was extremely annoying. If you are fine with gaming at 1440p, then go for this.

    The Xbox Series S is the perfect Xbox if your only interested in playing via game pass it’s awesome the only downside to the system is the fact that it’s 512 GB but really you get 361 GB if it was like the Series X this would be the best and cheaper option for next gen gaming again if your a all digital kind of person I’m not into all digital but picked it up because I wanted to play game pass games but will pick up a Series X when it’s more available and has plenty of great physical games til then this is perfect!!!!

    This is a great value especially with the game pass included. More storage will probably be necessary if you are a variety gamer however.
