Microsoft has gone all digital in the gaming world. Their Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is nothing to do with discs, and everything to do with digital!
The biggest benefit of digital gaming is you can take the console everywhere and play anywhere. The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition will let you compile a library of digital games that will travel with you and be available in the cloud when you want them.
You can pre-order and pre-install upcoming games so you're ready to play the moment they launch. To help you play that hot new game even sooner, the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is ridiculously easy to set up.
While all-digital gaming platforms are the latest trend in this form of entertainment, it's good to know the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition retains features which have made previous editions so good. The biggest examples are 4K Resolution and Ultra HD video streaming.
Xbox One S All-Digital Edition really ramps up those critical graphic details thanks to High Dynamic Range and Wide Colour Gamut.
Spatial Audio, Premium Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio mean you have highly realistic surround-sound to add even more drama and fun to your games.
For an instant digital game library, Xbox One S All-Digital Edition includes downloads of Minecraft, Sea of Thieves and Fortnite Battle Royale.
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Xbox One S is the pinnacle of what Microsoft set out to create with the original Xbox One. Despite releasing nearly three years ago, the One S is everything a game console should be: sleek, powerful and well-stocked.
Vastly reduced physical footprint; 4K & HDR streaming; HDR gaming; Xbox platform is steadily improving
Needs adapter for Kinect; 4K gaming limited to upscaling
Welcome to T3's official Xbox One S review. Microsoft has taken all the things that makes the Xbox One great, and made it even better. The result is a smaller form factor that's quieter and powered by powerful new features such as HDR.
4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player; Slicker and slimmer console
Only 1.6TB of 2TB HDD usable
As tempting as the price may be, this ‘4K console' just doesn't deliver So how does the Xbox One S stack up as a sequel Well, it feels a little like we've been here before. The cast might have improved but there are still a few gaping holes in the script.
Price; Controller works well; Rich colours; Decent detail with 4K content
4K HDR images lack subtlety; Lean sound; Can't pass-through 4K video; incompatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X; Unintuitive menus
The best console you can buy, but for how long
You favourite games in pin-sharp detail; The cheapest 4K Blu-ray player you can buy; Sleek new design; sans power brick
PS4 still has the better exclusives; Controller not rechargeable as standard
Xbox One S: The Xbox One S can't match the Xbox One X for power, but for price and style it's hard to top
The Xbox One S is a major improvement over its predecessor in terms of style and footprint, and if you've bought – or about to buy – a 4K TV, it's definitely worth purchasing rather than the standard Xbox One, or indeed a dedicated 4K Blu-ray player.
I can't really score the Xbox One S because of the short time I had with it, but from initial impressions it will definitely support your 4K (HDR) enabled screen a lot better than your standard Xbox One would. Especially if you are into your movie content, be it Netflix or via the Ultra-HD player.
In many ways, the new Xbox One S is the physical embodiment of Microsoft's efforts in reconnecting with the core gamer. Gone are the functional, slab-like set-top box aesthetics of the original hardware and in comes a fresh new design.
Bought for daughter she says it's even better than her PlayStation 4 very happy
Bought this specifically to play Red Dead Redemption 2 with some mates. Been playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey whilst waiting for RDR2 to be released and it suffers from massive input lag, I don't know whether that's the game or the console.
