Customer Ratings & Reviews

The system is good. No problems. It will get you in the game. I would have preferred the X because it is worth the price difference, but it has no availability. Considering the low storage capacity, no blue ray player, less powerful processor and lower resolution output than the X, this entry level box should have a lower price tag. Either that or the X is quite a value. The availability was the only selling point for me. Having said all of that, I’m glad It was available and I did not have to wait to start gaming again. I do enjoy playing on this machine!

Great performance and dependability. Only downside is not being able to use a hard disk and the capacity for DLC. Other than that great console

If you cannot find the Series X, this is the next best thing as long as you do not need 4K or disc reader. I bought this specifically for flight simulator and fortnite. It connected to an HD monitor now but did upscale well to a 4K TV. At 60% of the price of a series X, I would buy another! Its surprisingly small and quiet!

The Xbox Series S is a decent gaming system. While it offers good performance and access to a variety of games, its limited storage capacity can be frustrating. The absence of a disc drive may also disappoint some users. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option for casual gamers but has its limitations.

Upgraded from the Xbox one, I love it so much the difference in speed is incredible and I love all the little updates they made for the new system. Only thing is that the storage it comes with is okay but buying more storage is very expensive. Wish I knew I’d have to spend 150+ for a terabyte of ssd storage. All in all really happy but just remember you’re definitely gonna want extra storage.

Great value console. Not 4K but it is still high quality gaming!

For context, I’ve been a Sony fanboy since childhood. I had the base PS4 before this became my first next gen upgrade. I LOVE the small size, graphics are a major upgrade, and load times (or lack there of) is worth the money. This hold me over until I get a PS5, but could certainly be your primary console. Game Pass is unbelievable.

It's alright for an entry level console. Perhaps a PS5 user wanting to play a few games from gamepass, younger person, someone that owns multiple consoles, but nothing more. I have always been a dedicated xbox player and Microsoft dropped the ball in my opinion. The 512 GB SSD is laughable, especially when there is only 367 GB of space after you boot up the console and the extra storage you pay for you can just buy a series x. MS should have followed the footsteps of Sony and released an identical version of the series X but for $100 cheaper or maybe just to sell the console $150 cheaper. While I know that they just want to 'sell consoles' I don't for see this holding up for over two years. Glad I was able to get a Series X and return this one.

I bought this for my cousin as a early birthday gift. Xbox is a great gaming console, as someone who comes from PlayStation I can respect and value the console for it's speed, library of games and ease of use.

I really am enjoying my xbox its small and light and the graphics are very nice. I really like digital because you can buy the games online which saves me a trip to the store to buy a disk game . I recommend the new xbox digital for anyone looking for a great gaming experience

It seems more powerful than they claim it to be. I bought this to replace my One S and it can perform circles around that system! If going discless is your thing, this little system if a steal at this price! If you can manage and afford to get the Series X, definitely get that one, but there's no denying the bargain of the Series S

Great deal! Just research specs of system! No disc tray and less space, but for the price its worth it if you play casual games like 2k or something. If you want to play cyberpunk or something, maybe consider the X.

Great little console that packs a lot of power. For my use, it was definitely worth it over the X. Only issue I have is the storage. For somebody that is going to be playing a lot of bigger Triple-A titles, I would recommend getting the X or some type of storage expansion. I don't even game that much and already went through 99% of my storage.

Bought for my husnand for christmas so he can play online with our two boys. Teo have the Xbox Series S and one has the Xbox series X. All operate same speed. The S doesnt have as much storage so if you want to download a lot of games consider that first.

Upgraded from XBOX 360 and it’s amazing value for $300. Game pass ultimate together with this will assure hours and hours of amazing entertainment with incredible graphics. Thought I might need X series but I’m blown away by games like Assassins creed that look phenomenal.

Awesome system my wife loves it she’s plays it everyday

This is my first Xbox. So far, I enjoy every minute that I spend playing games on the Xbox system. I was trying to buy the one x but now I changed my mind. I prefer 1 s because it’s less expensive, not so big, and considering the price point, the difference in specs between the one x and s is insignificant.

Got the S, due to limited availability of the X. Higher resolution doesn't make that much of a difference, smaller size is more portable, but I would have liked the option of connecting a USB DVD, which you can't. Also forces you to buy the games from a single source. All things I knew when I bought it.

Amazing speed and graphics but only enough room for 2-4 games to be installed and ready to play at a time depending on how many GB each game is.

Purchased series S for my kids and they love it. It also makes a nice compact next gen system to take with you when traveling. My main consoles now are Series X and PS5 digital but for the price its a must for anyone looking to get into next gen. Hard drive space is limited so would need to do a lot of transferring or pick up expansion card.
