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 bought the console online and it was ready to pick up before the date Best Buy gave me. I was able to add one more item and it was ready fast too! Excellent service!

    Works great. Not as watered down from the Series X as one might think. Great option if you’re looking to go all digital.

    We now have both this and the Xbox one x. I love the faster load times and smaller footprint. However I hate that games only Save to the Xbox or the extended ssd drive they sell. We hooked up a 4tb external HHD and the same offload the Xbox have have to be redone loaded when saved.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S for the most part. While games that have been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S consoles must be installed on its internal SSD to be played, unoptimized games may still be stored and played from an external hard drive. If you have any questions, please reach out to Xbox Support for assistance: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/browse

      Hope that helps,
