Customer Ratings & Reviews

All around great system! As long as you aren't looking to game in 4K, this system is amazing! It starts up and runs very fast, and games load quickly! My only gripe is that it is easy to fill up the 500 GB drive, but it can be easily managed with external drives.

Just picked it up today. The console is very small but powerful. Super quiet. This new system downloads games super fast and loads way faster then the other. And games look so much better. Hope this helps people. Glad I upgraded to this system.

Worth upgrading from the “one”. I also transitioned to a gaming monitor and it’s been incredible. Graphics/gameplay/ everything about it is worth it. Pretty sleek too, and much smaller so it looks good displayed.

i love this xbox but i’ve had some problems with it early on while getting it. it’s mostly just the xbox program itself like the menu buttons sometimes just don’t work (not on the controller i mean like the digital menu). it’s fixable with a refresh home button sometimes but just has some weird issues every now and then. also xbox game pass ultimate is so expensive and one time they charged me even when i didn’t authorize ❤️. i still love the xbox itself tho

It’s amazing this is only $300. Most people’s eyes will not be able to tell the difference between 4K and 1080p when the game is moving, and you won’t notice any perceived lack of detail because you’re just enjoying the game . Get game pass to go with it, it’s amazing .

The Series S is good, but I wish I had bought another Series X instead. The X is worth the increased cost. But it's good they made this, as the previous generation One X would be 3-stars compared to it, and the previous generation One S would only be 2-stars compared to it. The solid state storage load times make all the difference, but 512GB isn't great.

I purchased this product and did not expect much from it (given its price tag). However, I was absolutely astonished by the pure power of this tiny beast! The Series S can do 1440p60 gaming easily at an extremely cheap price. If you are a beginner to console gaming, or are on a budget; this console is for you.

Great price awesome graphics good value for the money awesome upgrade

I puchased this as a second Series console for my basement and traveling. I had the Series X and PS5 already but I wanted a system that I could easily move for room to room. I was pleasantly supprised with the quality of this little system. Being that its $50 less than the Nintendo Switch Oled this is the cheapest of the current systems and dollar for dollar the best! When pared with a Gamepass subscription the value and affordability simply can't be matched. $10 a month for over 100 games with new ones added all the time beats $70 for a game that only lasts 5-6 hours imo. Parents should really consider this system if shopping for a video game system this year.

This is great if you have a 4K TV. I was a little put off buy the $299 price tag as to how much better it would be than my current Xbox one S but, the Series S is amazing with the graphics and load times. It’s definitely been a worthwhile purchase !!!

It is small and perfect for my college dorm. It doesn’t have much space so if you like playing a lot of games at the same time you should invest in a storage pack.

This is my fourth XBox in my lifetime (OG, One, One S, Series S). This one works great. It is quite a bit smaller than even the One S that it replaced. I have it standing on the edge to conserve desk space (be sure you place it away from the edge so that it won’t fall to the floor if you happen to tip it over). I have not had any problems with heat. Games run properly and pairing devices (Elite 2 Controller and Xbox Wireless Headset) work great. Only complaint is that you can’t attach an external USB SSD and play games from the external storage. All games must run from the built-in storage or the optional Seagate Storage Expansion that plugs into a slot on the back. :(

Really affordable and powerful console I can play whatever game I want digitally. You might need extra storage but for the price is a good deal.

The series s paired with gamepass is an amazing value and one of the easiest ways to get into next gen gaming. While it doesn't pack the punch of its big brother graphics wise, it is able to handle 1080p and 1440p without a problem so its perfect for pairing with a 1440p monitor or a 1080p tv. The quality of life improvements like quick resume and the speedy ssd make a bigger difference than you might expect, youll never want to play on an older gen console again. I ended up getting a series x when i bought my 4k tv but I kept the series s to pair with an older 1080p plasma tv so I could play games with my son and also use it as a media player/streaming device.

This machine is TINY! I mean I was shocked. It’s perfect for the kids and future proofs them for quite a while and you can’t beat the price. The only thing is memory but I knew that going in. As I said before it’s perfect for the kids who play one or 2 games

Outstanding! I bought this console I believe about 2 years ago and it still just runs at incredible speeds and has very good graphics! Highly recommend!!!!

Love it! I bought this for my wife for her birthday to upgrade for the Xbox one, performs great.

Everything was perfect as listed. pickup was great

Great console for the price, storage not an issue unless you download a lot of games. Keep installed only the games you play and you will have no issue with storage. Performance is next gen for sure

Paired with Xbox game pass, this thing is a great little machine. It's a serviceable machine for the next gen gaming and I'd have no problem recommending this to anyone looking to get into the next-gen console gaming on a budget. The one problem is the internal storage size. You can get the officially licensed expandable storage by Microsoft, or you can just get external storage and store more games on that. You'll have to move the games from the external to internal, but that's faster than having to redownload the games each time. However, if you like the idea of physical discs and true next-gen, I'd save up. This machine does well at what it is designed to do.
