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.

    Great Value for Next Gen

    XBOX game pass makes this a great value. Graphics are pretty much comparable to my PS4 Pro. So it is not a leap in performance, but it does give you a future lifespan and features for next gen systems like BF 2042.

    This was a gift. I have one myself also. So since I haven’t heard Andy complaints from the recipient and I enjoy playing my series S then it gets a good review. I use it as my “Travel Gaming” console.

    Good console for the price $300 is a steal for 120 fps and im glad i was able to get my hands on of the new gen consoles would highly recommend this but if you have money for the series x that would be like another step up

    It is amazing I love the Xbox series S no complaints and if your waiting for the Series X just get the S it prob is to much for your monitor or tv to handle anyways most tvs don’t run 120fps

    One of the best price to performance consoles that has ever been released. Seriously you can do so much with this thing and it is so much quicker than an X1X for the same price.

    What can I say besides WOW! This console is awesome for someone starting out on Xbox. The graphics are great, game pass is a very good service. Only downside is the amount of space in the console. Definitely a must buy

    The differences in graphics to series X is not worth the $200 extra. It upscales 1440p to 4k, full 120 frames and more. You cant find a gaming oc for $299 that supports these specs and has raytracing.

    It's smaller than I expected. Space is limited if that matters to you. No disk drive if you have games on disk. If you're on a budget and this is what you're looking for, get it, otherwise I'd recommend the series x. Other than that, a good unit. Ordered for curbside pickup, which was a good experience.

    The compact size and minimalistic design should be a perfect fit for any scenario. Performance is good today but will show signs of weakness a few years ahead if you dont mind 1080p gaming this is good. For 300 it is a great value and as long as you are willing to manage the small storage capacity. if you plan on paying $200 extra for the expanded storage option just buy the series x instead

    I’m a casual X boxer and this is perfect for me. I use it as a game pass rig and love it. It’s mind blowingly small and the UI is super fast and snappy! The perfect thing to hold me over while I was looking everywhere for a PS5!
