Top reviews from United Kingdom
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Here are some key points, for those who don't want to read the whole review:
Positives
- The price. Ridiculous value for money, really. Even without the shortage on GPU's, I don't think £250 could buy you a card with better performance than the series S. Leave alone the crazy fast SSD.
- The exterior design. This is a powerful machine, capable of some serious performance, somehow contained in a tiny rectangular box that fits everywhere. It can also stand horizontally or vertically without requiring a base, while looking extremely cute in both scenarios. Simple, easy, sensible.
- Cooling. No matter what game you throw at it, there is no part of the console that feels hot to touch. The hot air comes out of that big black circle, without touching anything on its way out (like cables, ports etc).
- All new Xbox features. Cloud gaming, Console streaming, Smart delivery automatic improvements on older games... Quick Resume is the feature that we all wanted but did not know.
- Game Pass. The gaming subscription service adds so much value to the Xbox platform.
Negatives
- Questionable future. So far it has been keeping up with the series X, at least for 1080/1440p gaming with some acceptable reductions in image quality, but until when?
- Unpolished UI on the main menu. I can almost always notice sound effects breaking and small lags when browsing the menus fast.
- More or less 385GB are available for games, significantly smaller than the series X.
- Previous generation titles that have not been optimized yet, run their Xbox one S version by default rather than the Xbox one X. This means you get the crappier version pretty much, even though the console could handle the best one as well.
- No Blu Ray. I don't care about that one, but it is the only way to have access to the used games market.
Just by going through the pros/cons list, one can easily see that great value for money does not mean the best possible choice always. I'm pretty sure that the extra £200 required for the series X (or a ps5) are totally worth it and it is the safest bet for many gamers.
But there are many ways to choose the series S as well. Some people live in tiny apartments or rooms, some don't own a 4K monitor. Some prefer playing older titles, indies and will be extremely happy with the way the modern triple A's will run on the series S. Some just want a console to play with their kids and have fun without breaking the bank. Some just want to get a taste of game pass at the lowest price possible.
No matter what the reason, the series S is an excellent machine that feels like and truly is a next gen console. You will get the full Microsoft gaming console experience and tons of entertainment and that is an astonishing achievement from the Xbox department.
My use of the Series S has been primarily for smaller "indie" games, as I tend to play the bigger AAA titles on the Series X. Despite not pushing it to its limits, the Series S has performed flawlessly for these games. And its compact size and minimalist look make it perfect for a living room setup and doesn't annoy the missus (too much).
Additionally, last Christmas, I bought a Series S for my dad along with a Game Pass subscription. He's been playing non-stop and has nothing but praise for it even with the larger titles.
In conclusion, the Xbox Series S might be the smaller sibling in the Xbox family, but it's a powerhouse for casual gaming. Its performance, coupled with its compact size, makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy a wide range of games without the need for high-end gaming setup.
The SSD is fast, with the system booting to the dashboard before my Logitech Harmony even fires up my TV and soundbar and sets them to the right inputs. Apps and games load very quickly, and for games Quick Resume is amazing.
At 1080p, the graphics look great. Some backwards compatible games aren't improved from the One S configuration (yet), but any game optimised for Series S|X loads quickly, looks amazing and has a higher framerate than the last-gen versions. If you have a PS4 or a One S, aren't interested in 4K and want a cheap upgrade to play Cyberpunk at an acceptable performance, you can't go wrong with this system.
Chances are, if you know the Xbox Series S isn't for you, you won't be reading this review. But if you're on the fence between this and a more expensive console you may want to think if the following applies to you:
If you have Game Pass and another system (like a PC or PS5) and want to play some legacy Xbox games and whatever MS is providing via Game Pass, this is an awesome system.
If you've got a spare room with a TV and you want an affordable games console to go in there, Xbox Series S is the way forward.
If all you want is an affordable way to play next-gen games for the foreseeable future, this is the console for you.
It's also great for kids who want to play Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft and not much else. It'll be a big improvement on the Xbox Series S - just be mindful that if they have disc-based games they won't be playable on the Series S.
If you've got a 4K TV you probably want an Xbox Series X, PS5 or a good gaming PC, as games on this device will max out at 1080p-1440p. This console also doesn't have a disc drive so all your games and multimedia will need to be digital. Take that in mind.
There's a lot of good and niche reasons to own this device over a more expensive system - if you fit into one of those niches, £250 is well worth the price.
