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.

    I purchased this system to have access to older games that I’m not willing to go through the trouble of trying to make them run on my PC. Games like Red Dead Redemption, Asura’s Wrath, Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2, The Darkness, etc. it’s working out as a great companion console besides my PS5.

    Pleasantly surprised. I was concerned about storage capacity, but as an average gamer, I have downloaded most of my current games and still have room to spare. Performance is a cast improvement over Xbox One X, but still not as good as the Series X, obviously.

    I've always been an Xbox fan so with the new games coming out I had to upgrade. This system is smaller and more sleek than it's predecessor. I would recommend getting a larger hard drive

    4.9 Stars. Other than the small storage space (500 gb) & no disc reader, this console is great. Also, you cant beat the price. Very satisfied.

    Had to get an Xbox to play Microsoft only games. It’s a good console for the size of it’s not your intention to play on it a lot. Did end up having to get a SSD but it was plug and play!

    Excellent in between next gen console, i don't play a lot so this works great for me and saved me over 200 dollars. So far the graphics are really good and the quick resume is very nice to have. Only small drawback would be the low storage space but you can always get an external hard drive to fix the problem.

    It's a good system and delivers as promised but upgrading from an Xbox One X didn't really change my gaming experience that much. Don't get me wrong the graphics are awesome and some of my digital games get a nice boost but playing on a 4K tv I'm not really seeing a huge difference from my Xbox One X. I think if I had upgraded from the Original Xbox One this would have been more worth the purchase. I gave it 4 stars because the storage is garbage! especially for Tripple A title games. Also, I'm not a big fan of the priraratory expansion.

      Hey there,

      Thanks for sharing your experience and feedback on your new Xbox Series S. If you need more storage and don't want to invest in the Seagate Storage Expansion Card, you can also connect a standard external hard drive. While you can't play games enhanced for Xbox Series X/S from an external hard drive, you can play Xbox games that have not been enhanced. For a full list of optimized games, please go here: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/optimized

      Hope that helps,
