Microsoft has released a new Xbox, although it's not exactly a new console. The Xbox One S is a subtle upgrade to the existing Xbox One , rather than a proper successor. Don't be fooled, though, because it has more than a few surprises in store.
Pros:
  • Smaller than Xbox One
  • 4K game upscaling
  • It's a cheap UHD Blu-ray player
  • HDR compatible
  • Improved
  • grippy controller
Cons:
  • Not native 4K in games

The Xbox One S review – smaller and more perfectly formed

M icrosoft's revamped Xbox One occupies a curious space in the current gaming generation. It's not because it's a sleeker take on the original bulky hardware – slimline consoles are nothing new, after all.

Xbox One S review: Great console, bad timing

There's no way to talk about the Xbox One S without talking about the console it's replacing, the Xbox One. So I will just start by saying the really obvious thing: the Xbox One S is what the original Xbox One should have been.
Pros:
  • Looks great
  • Smaller
  • 4K and HDR support
Cons:
  • No SSD option
  • Might be better to wait for Project Scorpio

Xbox One S review: smaller, better, whiter

As you would expect for a system that is whiter than Santa's beard, the Xbox One S comes in a slick, minamilist, white box. Open said box and you are presented with a series of smaller white boxes, as well as the system itself, which is covered in - yep, you guessed it - a white sleeve.
Pros:
  • 4K Ultra HD playback
  • Slicker and slimmer console
Cons:
  • Only 1.6TB of 2TB HDD usable

Xbox One S review: The right console at the wrong time

The ultimate question to ask about the Xbox One S is not whether it can do the job - it can - it's whether or not it's worth buying. And that depends on what camp you fall into. If you're a serious gamer that already has an Xbox (or a PS4 for that matter) then there's really no point.

The Xbox One was built with a specific vision in mind, and it was one that included a whole lot more than games.

Xbox One S Gears of War 4 Limited Edition Review

While the Xbox One S is an amazing console, it just doesn't have a place, as it's such an incremental improvement. You should probably wait for Scorpio to get bigger changes.
