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.

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

    Smaller console, it’s almost so small it doesn’t seem real but it does all the same things as the larger console, just less space and no disc drive

    Great for emulation!! And the game pass is excellent with tons of games. However the storage space is really low and the memory expansion is expensive.
