It's alright

Overall I'd give it 4.5/5 Coming from a Xbox One X, it's honestly not a massive jump up at the moment. Yes, sure the Series S enhanced games are noticeably sharper and better but without a 120fps capable TV or monitor you're not going to be blown away. All my backwards compatible titles are downloaded onto my external HDD but are a downgrade from the Xbox One X as they are NOT enhanced. They play like they would on a Xbox one S. Kinda disappointing, but meh. Quick resume is my favourite party trick so far with the unit. It's also suspiciously quiet too. Auto HDR makes some Xbox One games look better at some moments too. In GTA V when cycling around the Alamo Sea at night during a rainstorm it looked breathtaking. Just small things like that make up for the other shortfalls.

Xbox Series S review

The Xbox Series S is a great entry point into next-gen gaming for those who have no qualms about buying games digitally or subscribe to Xbox Game Pass. It's a great option if you want to avoid the sizable financial outlay required to own a full-blown next-gen console, but it has significantly less storage, prioritizes 1440p resolution for gaming and does without the 4K HD Blu-Ray drive of the Xbox Series X.
Pros:
  • The smallest Xbox ever made
  • Compact design, powerful specs
  • Completely silent in operation
  • Faster load times
Cons:
  • Targets 1440p resolution when gaming
  • 512GB SSD fills up fast
  • No disc drive
  • UI can be overwhelming at first

The perfect Game Pass box

Bought on launch and I am still extremely happy with it. If you have a Full HD TV then this is the one to go for, all the performance benefits for FPS and $250 cheaper.
