Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've already had a series x for 2 years and bought this for the bedroom because of how cheap it was. Honestly playing on a 22-in 1080p TV. It works perfect. The hard drive is small but for me this is not a problem as I'm only installing a few games on this one anyway as the series x works as the main Xbox for the family. I still feel though that this would work as a great main Xbox, especially if you're shopping on a budget. I don't see you having a problem with it. The picture won't look as good obviously on a giant 4K TV, but if you're playing on a smaller display or if graphics aren't that important, I highly recommend this.

The Xbox Series S is compact, fast, and delivers smooth gameplay with quick load times thanks to its custom SSD and modern architecture. It supports high frame rates and lets you jump between games seamlessly, making the experience feel truly next-gen. Setup is simple, the performance is reliable, and it offers outstanding value for the price. Highly recommended for both casual and dedicated gamers!

Surprisingly compact and capable little gaming console. I have the Series X which is huge compared to this one but needed something small to take it with me for travel to keep myself and my kids entertained while on a trip and vacation. Since I’m so hooked on playing Diablo 4 and remote play is an issue when internet speed reliability is a requirement, having a direct game access is better suited for my needs. Along with buying this console, i also bought an external monitor. For what it is, it is more than enough to play even the most demanding games. Though the games i usually play are just casual and mostly RPGs and Simulation, this is more than enough for me personally. With that said, you cant beat the price for what it offers. Highly recommended.

Great little strong xbox! This is a very good console and affordable so it won't kill ur wallet!

I recently picked up a refurbished Xbox Series S from Best Buy, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well it performs. The console arrived in great condition—clean, with no visible scratches or damage—and it included all the original accessories. Setup was quick, and within minutes I was downloading games from Xbox Game Pass. Performance-wise, the Series S is impressive for its size. Load times are lightning fast, gameplay feels smooth at up to 120 FPS on supported titles, and the compact design fits perfectly in my entertainment setup. As a fully digital console, it’s a perfect match for Game Pass and my mostly digital library. The only drawback is the 512 GB storage, which fills up quickly if you install larger AAA titles. An expansion card or external SSD will likely be my next purchase. Also, while the Series S can upscale to 4K, it’s designed for 1440p gaming—so if you’re chasing pure 4K visuals, the Series X is the better choice. Overall, for the price I paid on a refurbished unit, this is hands-down one of the best values in gaming. Compact, quiet, and powerful enough for most modern games—it’s a great option for casual and even mid-core gamers who want next-gen performance without breaking the bank.

I was never into gaming, but decided to purchase this as a Christmas gift (FROM: me - TO: me). Man am I glad I did. This is easy to use. Easy to setup. I (personally) love the idea of being digital only. I’m not wanting a bunch of games laying around. This with an xBox Game Pass is PERFECT!!! I get to play so many games because of the pass. The console is sleek and performs great. I have not had any issues. The controller is easy to use and performs very well too.

Strong console for a great price. Runs great and it’s very quiet. It’s really small so it fits almost anywhere

Works perfectly and is so much faster than my Xbox one! Love that is digital so it's so much slimmer too.

Ive owned every gaming console since the inTelevison. Google it. The series s is a great little console with enough horsepower for most people. Its best selling point is ofcourse the price. The resolution is great on a 4k tv. Most people will not be able to tell its not true 4k. Since I’ve had kids ive downgraded to being a casual gamer and this console has been just fine for me. Xbox game pass is also amazing. Ps5 is struggling with putting out games these days so xbox has the edge here.

Fast Xbox load times are cut by 95%. Fortnite takes seconds instead of minutes. GTA is about 50% faster at loading. Games run incredibly smooth. Just make sure you close your games in the background they will slow down your Xbox. Download times are 95% FASTER worth every penny.

I’ve have both the PS5 and Series S. They are both great, but the price point the Series S is offered at along with the ability to run games at 1440p 120hz is amazing and a lot more practical than the hdmi 2.1 4k 120hz the series x and ps5 offer at the moment. The game selection for Xbox is also step ahead of playstations, in my opinion, and if you are subscribed to game pass you’ll have a massive selection of games to download free of charge.

Really good Xbox small and compact only low on storage

I love it! I've been a gamer over 20 years and this is an AMAZING system! . . . The only draw back is that unless you buy the Seagate Expansion Pack you CANNOT download or really even play any games, I am happy to say that on December 15th I will FINALLY be able to get the 1TB memory card from Seagate so I can FINALLY play games, YAY!!!

Love it!!!! Small, sleek, and a powerful console. Cant go wrong.

Great console. Runs everything so smoothly, it's very silent (though it gets hot).

Over all pretty happy with it . It downloads and starts up much faster then my Xbox one x. The video quality looks great 1440p - 4K upscale on my tv. I wanted the series x but availability is crap. The only thing I don’t like is it’s not native 4K and not having a disk drive aren’t really super important but still would be nice . Major down fall is the storage or lack there of . You can have like 3 titles stored before taking up all your space . The aftermarket memory card will be a must if you plan to use this as your only console. I’m using my usb storage for now for my Xbox one games luckily I only own 3 games formatted for the series s . I will eventually make this console my back up / bedroom console snd upgrade to the series x. But if you don’t have the money for the big guy this console is plenty enough for everyday gaming . I have it four stars because it is a nice console.

Is compact and it runs as expected,but they should have no long before this console came out that one terabyte should be the minimum in any console. You constantly have to delete things. Not to mention the expansion is really expensive it's about half the price of the console.

The Xbox Series S is a compact and affordable console that offers fast load times, smooth gameplay up to 120fps, and supports up to 1440p resolution with ray tracing. It's a great value, especially when paired with Xbox Game Pass for access to a huge library of games.

My One X took a dump, so i revertedto my Xbox One Day One edition for a couple months. Going from that to this Series S was like night and day. Load times are ridiculously fast in comparison and the graphics/rendering have improved just as dramatically. Not sure if the Series X is worth the price for casual gamers. This is a great alternative for a budget conscious casual gamer.

i love this xbox but i’ve had some problems with it early on while getting it. it’s mostly just the xbox program itself like the menu buttons sometimes just don’t work (not on the controller i mean like the digital menu). it’s fixable with a refresh home button sometimes but just has some weird issues every now and then. also xbox game pass ultimate is so expensive and one time they charged me even when i didn’t authorize ❤️. i still love the xbox itself tho
