Customers are saying

Customers commend the Xbox Series S for its affordability, compact size, and impressive performance, especially considering its price point. Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    Very good graphics. Like the slim size compared with my old Xbox One. Plenty of games to be downloaded with a lot of disk space. Very easy to set it up. It's an enjoyable experience to play Horizon 5 on Xbox Series S.

    At first it was a little worried about the size of it but this Xbox has a lot of capability I have 3 devices connected to it and it runs fine, graphics wise it’s great, and the controller feels great. I would recommend this for sure it’s a great console for its price

    With it being very early in the Next-Gen still, I think Microsoft potentially has a home run value here. However, maybe as we stretch further along in the years, we see the S being susceptible to lagging behind.

    Standard controller developed drift, bought a Gamesir controller that can’t develop drift. It’s a cool system minus the intentionally bad controller design. Not really enough storage considering there’s no disc drive. GamePass is pretty cool but I wish you could pause your account.

    I have a PS5 but wanted to get back in the Xbox ecosystem. This is the perfect way to do it at a better price than the Series X. I had the X as well but took it back and decided to keep this console instead. Perfect for the man cave and I the PS5 and a gaming laptop if I need to game at a higher resolution. Also, this is a great console to use with the dev app, boot in to dev mode and have some fun testing or maybe even create apps!

    The best budget console on the market that can play all these next generation games. If you're only looking to play a handful of games this generation then this is a great box to help you keep up with modern gaming's demands and its hard to beat that price on any other device (be it PC or console).
