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’m not a hardcore gamer. Really fast. Plays war zone and the racing games really well. What was a big deal for me was WiFi speeds and this far surpasses my last gen console (which I bought at release).

    so far so good! Bought it for my nephew and he loves the system and all the games on it. The graphics are terrific and the GB helps save us space from game CDS.

    This is the best Xbox ever made only the series x is better and in my opinion better than all the PlayStations because you can almost every Xbox game on this system starting with the very first Xbox Amazing.

    I have the xbox series X and love it but it’s to big to travel with so I bought the series S as my travel gaming console and I love how small and portable it is compared to other consoles.

    The kids love the new xbox. The graphics are amazing...especially since this was an upgrade for us from a 360. I like the ability to try different games through game pass as well. I did waffle a little between getting the s or the x as we have a lot of games that we won’t be able to use now but for the price we decided this was a better fit for our family. Overall, the kids love it!

    I’ve had this console for about 3 weeks now and it’s amazing. The loading times on games are very fast! If you’re coming from an Xbox One S, the loading times will be the biggest difference. Highly recommend!

    has been a great console so far the only thing that bothers me is only 500GB of storage but i can not complain since it’s lower then the xbox series x. Other then that an amazing product and great customer service.

    I wanted a new console for the living room. Chose this one because we only play titles from Game Pass. It’s small, quiet and fast. Internal drive is small. Suggest everyone to look at getting an expansion memory card.
