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.

    Love how small it is compared to my other Xbox. Nice control and now the capture button has been added to the control nice feature. Works great!

    I enjoyed the gaming system. But I did order online for store pickup, and the person was very very racist. And that was at the North Lake Mall area in Charlotte NC

    Really great system for the price. You might not get that 4k/60fps experience, but for 1080p, it is fantastic. Quick load times and GamePass is a game changer.

    Its a good Budget console for game pass older games that are small in memory if you play cod you will need an ssd in total you will stll pay around the same price as the x but will get more memory if you get the samsung 1 tb or a 2tb hdd for the same price all if you dont mind the wait a few min to transfer files its not that bad but in total a great console but i gave it a 3 star due to the fact it only has 368gb in free storage if Microsoft made a pro version for the s with all the same spec as the x wouldn't hesitate on grabbing that too and have this as my bed room

      Hi Jorge,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your new Xbox Series S. If you're also playing older backward compatible Xbox games that aren't enhanced for Xbox Series X/S, you may also add more storage by adding a standard external hard drive. While enhanced games may not be played directly from it, all other games can be.

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    This is pretty good the price. Not that big of a difference in terms of performance and graphics on the other next gen consoles such as the ps5 or the Xbox series x.

    A fantastic console. Next-generation performance at the same price as a Switch. Couple this with Gamepass, and you have great value for your money.

    This is by far the best option to have if you cannot find an Xbox series X or PS5. I am having a blast downloading games on Xbox game pass.
