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.

    I like it but prefer the X as the images are crisper and it loads a bit quicker. This one is not that far off, I use this at work and the X at home. I love the compact design and the fact it was available at a time when i couldn't get the X or PS5. The storage isn't a huge issue for me but of course more is always better.

    I didn't expect this thing to do 120 frames. and the upscaling with 360 games is also really well done. also super small so it was easy to put in my entertainemnt area. overall I really love it

    Got this as a secondary console to my ps5 to play games on game pass. I have been playing Forza Horizon 5 the last couple of days and it has been amazing. Even with the upscale graphics, I couldn’t tell difference between upscale 4K and native 4K. Overall amazing for the price

    I was a PlayStation guy. Had been since PlayStation 1-4. But I made the switch to Xbox series S. Best switch ever for me. Very powerful compact gaming unit. I have had it since Christmas 2022. Never an issue.

    This is a small Xbox that fits perfectly in my media center and works perfectly for my needs. I’m able to download third party apps and games, as well as access Xbox Game Pass which is a pretty great value. It runs everything I need. I highly recommend it for the price.

    Overall, I’ve enjoyed the console. It’s worked way better than I thought and it has allowed me to play games at close to next gen speed at such a low entry price!

    Every good system. Not as good as the X, but every close be hide. In some instances it beats the X in loading times or handles some games a little better.

    A great system for a decent price for a non-desk gaming console. The graphics are not bad either and will play 4K if you have a 60 frames per second or 120 per second TV. You going to love game pass to because You only pay nine dollars per month. Trust me game pass is going to be everything!

    Great product for your buck. However I will encourage on purchasing the 1tb sea gate drive. As this console will only give you around 360 something SSD storage space (to use). Love the load times (just as fast as the series x) quick resume is slightly faster on this console vs the series x but we talking milliseconds. Graphics are great however because of the gpu power is a 3rd of the se series x power you can see some choppiness. “Things in the far will load”

    I got this a few weeks ago and it was way better than the old gen S. It runs way smoother and the loading times are so much faster. It also is very small and takes up such little space which was perfect for me because my desk isn’t that big so now I can fit more stuff on it. 10/10 recommend

    This console works great and is a huge jump from the older generations. Not a lot of issues with lag that I've noticed. I am considering on purchasing a Series X though because of how powerful it is. But for someone on a budget, this console will work great for you.

    Didnt think yhe digital would be as good as the X but its pretty good. Not all games are found w the xbox game pass that I'd like to have. I do love that the graphics are brighter. I wish it came w more storage though.

    I bought this for my son, he loves his Bornday present. It's "Next Gen" enough for hom to get the benefits of the higher fps & enhanced graphics, yet easily fit in his room and easy on my wallet. I wasn't sure of the Series S, I own a Series X since launch. However I'm sold on the system.
