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.

    Way better than I expected. A major upgrade from the Xbox One S. We could see other players characters way off in the distance in Apex. Made a big difference when playing.

    Smaller than expected works fast. Quick resume has a few glitches but really helps get back in the game quicker. Only downside is optimized games for it, but more keep coming out each day.

    This is the next gen console that comes with a next gen experience. Very fast download and load up speeds. Quick resume is the new feature that all gamers should be very excited about.

    What's not to love about this console? I buy digital games primarily, so I don't miss the disk drive and the hard drive is large enough for the games I enjoy playing

    Excellent system, especially for living in small spaces, or travelling/extended stays. No need to haul games around, exactly what was needed. (It was a gift for those reasons)

    The Xbox Series S is the premier nextgen console option for those not wanting to break the bank. You’ll have a hard time spending $300 and getting a happier return.

    Great value. Upgraded from One S. The quick resume alone is worth the upgrade. As far as capabilities, this unit runs cyberpunk acceptably whereas the One S was unplayable.
