Is The XBOX Series S WORTH IT In 2023?

[@HdHd-cg4nz]

Whoever invented gamepass for Xbox deserves a noble peace prize. That’s what makes the series S a masterpiece for the average gamer.

[@angelopebs]

Fucking truth. Even without an Xbox, Xbox cloud has a decent enough library to justify the price. I’m the type to switch between games and being able to play on pc and mobile is a game changer.

Man, I picked up a used Xbox Series S earlier today from my local game store and it is truly great. I’m a Sony fan and have been since the original PS1. However, I did really like the original Xbox and the Xbox 360. Never played the Xbox One. I was fully prepared to fork over $600 for a PS5, but they simply aren’t available anywhere. When I eventually decided I wanted a dedicated console for my bedroom I discovered the Series S. I really didn’t even know it existed but now I totally get the concept of the S vs. X. Basically, if you’re a casual gamer and just want the ability to play console games from the comfort of your bed from time to time (like me) buy this, right now, don’t even think about it. Oddly enough, this console kind of reminds me of the gamecube in the fact that Microsoft managed to pack a powerful punch in a small package. Great product design decision by Microsoft. This may be the last traditional (non-vr) console generation and it feels like an ode to the last 25 years of gaming. You get access to the entire Rare catalogue minus the Donkey Kong Games. The only thing that pisses me off is that you can’t even purchase some of the old Forza games anymore, and some of the games are only sold as a package deal. Just let me buy the game. But again, I’m really impressed with the performance of the Xbox Series S for the price. It’s super snappy even with the new gen. Games. Load times are almost non-existent. It plays old gen games really well, and it works great as a streaming platform. I notice that when streaming via my xbox the interface is much snappier than when using my smart TV.

[@nanonyam1]

Wow, this comment deserves an Oscar 😅

[@grayfox9000]

I definitely think it is worth it, I bought one about a month ago and love the little console. I wanted to get a PS5, but was having trouble finding one, and decided to try Xbox. I can honestly say I have used it more than any of my other consoles, probably even more than when I was a kid. I am 32 and have bills to pay, so it seemed worth trying the cheaper console with the game pass, and I am stunned how good the console is, just for £249. I have bought a few games that were on sale too, and I am really impressed, I prefer the controller to the PS4's, and it doesn't sound like a jet taking off like my PS4. I see you can use Retro Arch with no developer mode now as well, so will be installing that later to play games from my youth.

[@jimboc669]

It's so good for people that may not have a lot of disposable income, or may not need the full capabilities of the x and just wants something to play the games.

[@grayfox9000]

@@jimboc669 To be fair I fall into that category as well, I don't have a 4K TV yet and have my bills for the house. It allows me to keep playing new releases without breaking the bank. Eventually I will save for a better TV, and may well get the Series X or PS5, but for now it is a great console.

[@Fresh.Travels]

Hello! I need help before buying this, one question is how many games can you download and is it good on a 4k 60hz tv?

It’s the best option for most people. Readily available, cheap, plays only digital so you don’t have game cases everywhere so forces you to be organized and your tv or computer space is cleaner (resell of Xbox disk games has always been terrible anyways), most people don’t even have the right tv or monitor to play 4K/60 in the proper way, its extremely quiet almost silent while playing demanding games, It’s good for casual players who hop on a few times a week and the SSD handles everything at blazing fast speed, my series s downloads between 300-400 mbps on average.

So much so that I actually sold my PS5 to a buddy who was desperate for one and could not find any because the thing just sat there for months never being used. The series s with game pass is just a absolutely great console not just for gaming but all around home entertainment that can't be beat for 300$.

4K is not just a slightly higher resolution upgrade from full HD! It's a massive difference!

[@MrJojofoto]

LET ME GIVE SOME LIGHT ON THIS SUBJECT! What do 12 teraflops do (Series X) compared to 4 teraflops do (Series S)??? The best way to describe this would be how the end results look on a screen, and not just any screen. If you want to get the best bang for the Series S and take the most advantage of this console, then go for a 1080P 144Hz 24/27 inches gaming monitor, so why do I mention that, well it comes down to native resolution! Since the Series S in its current state is a lot closer to 1080P over 1440P, and running on a 1080P 144Hz gaming monitor, you can now enjoy some games running at 120 Hz! also, since its running at native resolution, the graphics will look tac sharp (like a Series X at 4K), and you don't need a Series X for this kind of setup! At 4K, unless you have a high-end upscaling solution, the Series S may appear a bit more pixilated at 4K (softer), and that is since it is not running at its native resolution. Did you know that 1080P at 24 inches has a pixel density of 92 dots per inch, while a 55-inch 4K TV has 80 dots per inch! In terms of visible pixels, for its size, the 24 inches will look sharper over the 4K at 55 inches! More so, the Series S games are small in size than the Series X games, since they are not using 4K assets! So this is how you make the best out of the Series S, and enjoy 120 Hz playing COD Vanguard without needing a Series X and a TV that has HDMI 2.1, and can imagine the total cost of that! If you do it right, you can enjoy some beautiful image quality for the Series S!

I travel quite often and this little guy goes with me everywhere I go. And then on top of that I only had a handful of physical copy games so the shift from physical to all digital didn't hurt as much for me. If you want a console that allows you to game on the go then get it. One negative was that I wish the storage was bigger and I didn't need to spend more money on an expansion card.

[@carpandrei7493]

One big plus for the Xbox series X, that may matter for gamers who have a collection of physical games from previous generations of Xbox, is the backwards compatibility. I feel that's an important thing to mention when comparing the two consoles. Not to take away the spotlight from Series S, it has it's own very well defined place! With GPU prices these days, I'd say it's the better alternative to building an entry level gamin PC. And Game Pass... man, that was a stroke of genius from Microsoft.

[@evanlawrence9476]

Was the biggest Play Station fan boy for the longest time. Had a ps3, ps4 and played friends ps5. I always felt so bored and tired of it but had no reason to go and spend any money, and I invested so much time and money into their ecosystem I felt it wasn’t justified. Shortcut to going through two ps4s in 5 months I was sick of it. I impulsively bought a Xbox series S and never looked back. I’ve had it for about a few days now and I love it. I love the foot print of it. It’s extremely user friendly and is extremely easy to pick up. For This console being pretty small it runs games extremely well. Almost everything at 60FPS and is so quite I forget it’s on. For 299$ this is an absolute Next gen steal. And considering that consoles come almost every decade this should be bought by anyone looking to dive into the next gen console era. it’s a super success from Microsoft and an absolutely outstanding rebound from the semi success of the Xbox X. Great job Xbox!

Series S is great if you plan on using it pretty much solely for Gamepass. Otherwise you will inevitably need to upgrade the storage and for cost of the Series S and decent storage expansion, you might as well buy a Series X. Not to mention, having a disc drive means you can almost always get any game cheaper (often by a lot) than having to buy it from the Microsoft Store. So in the long run, it's better to just be patient and get the Series X.

I ended up buying the Xbox Series S , it was pretty worth it , as a gamer who spends most of their time playing , it’s a huge difference from PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series S which I have both , personally me I would pick the Xbox since it feels better with gaming and a good monitor/ tv that supports 4K 120 fps

[@alfredmireles2547]

I did the same thing

[@lxfischer]

I just upgraded from the One X to the Series S, and aside from the storage, I think it's a great upgrade. The switch in fidelity is more than made up by MUCH faster load time, increased frame rates and some of the new graphical tricks that the S can do. I don't own too many physical games anymore and own close to 100 of them digitally, so the loss of the drive wasn't a big deal at all, at least for me as I never really used the drive much anyways. I've got a pack mule drive for extra storage that I just switch games back and forth and all is well. Great system!

Series S is great & quite affordable if one is willing to attach Expansion Storage HDD over SSD. The GamePass is of best value not only for Casual gamers but for Hardcore Gamers as well.

[@phoenixking9457]

Can I still download games on the console if I don't want to use Gamepass?

[@MrTheDarkKnightFan]

@@phoenixking9457 yes in that case you have to buy games from the digital store.

I purchased a Xbox series S 2nd hand but untouched for £150 off ebay. I set it up next to my son's ps5, used the same monitor, couldn't really tell any difference. Then my younger son decided he wanted it. So I decided to get a second Series S ( again brand new £150 ect) and hopfully i could use this one. Having two is great 👍 for Fortnight , SeaofT ect.

[@internet_warlord]

Yes! Series S is so worth it, it works great with game pass. Graphics still looks great and I have no complaints.

Had an Xbox series X for almost 2 years now. Just bought a Series S as well and I'm shocked at how strong this tiny thing is. I played Rise of the Tomb Raider and if someone told me that what I was playing was Series X gameplay I would have believed them. At $300 this thing puts out a lot of power.

100 percent agreed 👍

Why the hell are used Xbox Series S so cheap. It retails at £250 ($299) but can be had from eBay for £170 ($200), which is LESS than a used PS4 Pro.

[@TapatioGuy_]

I love it. I got it because I don’t even play with discs anymore. I prefer digital, I just didn’t feel like paying 250 more for a disc drive (ofc it’s more powerful I get that). Maybe I’m just over estimating the series s. However, it’s a HUGE upgrade on my part since I just upgraded from the original Xbox One (the big boy), so playing on this thing is like night and day and I love it.

[@gypdarin1458]

How is this NOT worth it? Its a current gen and its basically free compared to the ps5

Which one is worth buying if I only play games like FIFA, war zone, mw2, Fortnite and rainbow

[@loucipher7782]

if you think PC looks better than the series X? well then you can also triple the price too PC at the same cost looks like shit, you can barely even get a decent GPU

[@DavesSweeps]

I have heard by connecting an SSD to a CFe to NVMe adapter, you are able to plug the SSD into an Xbox Series S via the expansion card. If this is legit, then you should be able to upgrade the storage without having to break the bank. Also great video very informative, it is interesting that we live in a time when we can't get the technology we need to play the games we love. Even still it's a great time to be a gamer with all the available games there is today.

[@rolf5932]

Saw that also. Seemed to be very unreliable though

[@rolf5932]

No wait, I think it didn't even work at all, or for just a few minutes. There is some type of software in the seagate card that makes the xbox accept it.

The storage thing can be fixed pretty easy with a $70 1tb external hard drive. And most games can be played right off the hard drive, even some X/S optimized ones

You can even store all your X/S games on the external drive and just transfer them if you wanna play them
