Whether you're looking for a first-time next-gen gaming console or want to upgrade from an Xbox One, the Xbox Series S has a lot to offer. The compact, digital-only console offers a powerful experience at a reasonable price.
The Xbox S is one of the smallest Xboxes that Microsoft has ever produced. With a size that's just over 60% smaller than the Xbox One X, it fits perfectly in a backpack or pocket. It's also easier to find in stock than larger consoles.
The Xbox S features a textured back grip that makes holding the controller a little easier. It has a matte surface and a "share" button that allows you to quickly share screenshots and video clips. The Xbox S also includes a quick resume feature that lets you jump straight into your next game.
The Xbox One S isn't as powerful as the Xbox One X, but it is capable of running most titles at 60 frames per second. It supports four generations of Xbox games and backwards compatibility with dozens of Xbox 360 titles.
The Xbox Series S is also the smallest and most affordable Xbox Microsoft has ever produced. You can buy it for just $240, which is a great value. It's also been enjoying holiday discounts, so you can get the console for even less. It's also a good way to reconnect with the Xbox ecosystem.
While the Xbox S has an appealing price point, it's not the most powerful game machine out there. The Xbox One X has more internal storage, a 4K Blu-ray disc drive, and more RAM.
