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.

    Excellent console. I use it as a secondary one in my room to play more casual games and more demanding games I play on my XSX. Games play great, I have no issues.

    This is great. I wish the larger model was available. I use it for gaming and as a multimedia device for streaming. With games, they are so much faster and the wait time is practically eliminated for hi graphics games like assassins creed.

    Really affordable and powerful console I can play whatever game I want digitally. You might need extra storage but for the price is a good deal.

    For the price, extremely hard to beat. Great performance but really the one con is the storage size. Depending on the games you play, this console might only be able to hold 3 games max. Not necessarily Microsoft’s fault that game developers make their file sizes so big though!

    I gave this as a Christmas present and my son absolutely loved it! He owned a Xbox One S before this one and he was really happy about the extra storage, the controller ergonomics and faster start up. Definitely recommend if don’t already have one.

    This thing is a great bit of fun along side the ps5 and my gaming pc. I really enjoy using this for gamepass stuff but i might be disappointment if it was my only system. Very similar graphics than the one x, more frames and faster load time but looks similar

    This is a great option to get a new gen console in your home without breaking the bank. I really enjoy this console. It has provided hours of fun online gameplay so far. If you're considering buying this console I say do it cause you can't go wrong with next gen technology at this price.

    Whereas my title says better than expected, I want to preface my review with the fact that I'm exclusively a PC gamer. Keyboard and mouse is such a way of life that I struggle to get along with a controller. I got one anyway for my kids, it's been great! Ended up liking it enough, and the price is great, i bought a second one for our family room. Forza Horizon 5 looks really nice on this, and Warzone 2.0 plays quite good too! Not a huge loss of visual fidelity or anything.

    Reasonable value with some shortcomings

    Anyone buying this has to also consider the series x. While this offers astounding value for 300 dollars. Versus the series x (200 dollars more), you are giving up over half of the internal storage (external does not work with this generation of games), and the extra power to play most everything in 4k. This console is fairly compact and light, but for the entire generation ahead of us, lacking 4k is going to hurt more and more.

    Not the best performance but it is the cheapest new console. At least you get to play all the latest and newest games.

    No complaints at all…it’s what is advertised. It’s the cheaper and mych more available alternative to the Series X. If you don’t mind downloading your games rather than using discs, this suits you. It’s remarkably small as well, very transportable.

    This little box is so amazing man if you’re on the fence about it just get it. You got so many game choices with game pass and fast speeds and doing 60fps or even 120 at a $300 value is amazing. Very smart on Microsoft for making this

    Great console. Works just as good as x series only down side is no disk drive. But if your games are mostly digital thats not an issue.
