Absolutely love the Series S, the 4K gaming isn't a must have or need for me. Picture looks incredible as it is @ 1440p, great little beast if your on a budget and still experience the current gen gaming 🎮🔥💯
@eugene9122 Really depends on how much you want to spend to be honest. I wanted the Series X but ended up settling for my Series S due to the fact I had a PS5. That 1440p monitor will absolutely make that little beast picture pop 💯👌
@@The_Bearded_Warrior same I got a ps5 already, and not press on series x but was looking for at an Xbox to add. Have two monitor one a 4k monitor and another 1440p with a display port. appreciate the fast feedback, I'll definitely look to add series s after this discussion. Thanks again 🙏🏾
@LexBearded I'm thinking of buying a series s but people are saying that the graphics ain't that good like on gta 5 and fortnite and stuff and I'm a sweat in fortnite so I need good graphics so idk
Yes, it surely is a good option, especially for casual players who doesn't feel like 4k is that much big of a deal. You spend less and get a new gen console, which is pretty good looking and portable since its size.
@@UltraGreenNo.57 Yea, and even on these high end consoles, they just upscales the graphic to 4k. Many games also don't even run in "4k" 60fps as they did claim when this generation came out
Always awesome to see videos like this from you! I have been in the Xbox ecosystem since 2004 and have a fair sized physical game collection from over the years and so I have a Series X in my living room. But I also own a number of games digitally and enjoy them on my Series S in the spare room. It's a good little console. You could also just have a Series S for current gen games and have an Xbox One around for physical games if you are on a budget. Anyway, great video!
Yes it's absolutely worth the asking price for the Xbox Series S. Even more so if you can find one below the recommended retail price. Bought mine for £189.95p.
Finding out about the travel convenience was a happy accident for me lol. I flew to Florida for my college graduation last year since I was an online student. Unfortunately, I went alone and ended up staying in a Marriott off the highway near my school. Luckily, I had the foresight to bring my Series S along since I was playing through the Master Chief Collection and had started the last campaign. And thank God I brought it along because the hotel smart tv was TERRIBLE to navigate through and the netflix and youtube apps kept logging me off if I paused a video for longer than 5 minutes.
The s is perfect for casual gamers who want a gampass machine. Unless you play competitive shooters the s is perfect and even with competitive games it's great
what makes the series S a better gamepass machine to the xbox one s ??? the xbox one s has gamepass aswell ...and you can play series s/x games through the cloud..... my question is if i own a xbox one s .. is the series s worth the upgrade??? i can buy a used series S for $219 at a local mom and pop shop for that price is it worth it???
@@commanderclaude8781 A few things to take into consideration. Number 1. While Cloud gaming is decent the Xbox cloud gaming system has some noticeable input lag which kind of sucks ( Could be just me but im an online FPS player so any input lag is a no go for me ) 2. The Series S on average cuts loading times by over 5x. So that's a huge difference. Then comes the graphical performance. The Series S can do 900p-1440p @ 120hz on most games. The One S caps at 1080p 60 fps IF YOU ARE LUCKY. I am not saying you need to get the SS but it will be 100x the device you have now. I have a ps5, pc and series s and I use the S the most! lol ( Hope this helps friend! )
@@commanderclaude8781219 is great downside is the series s doesn’t have lots of storage. If u just want to play a couple game pass games at a time it’s great. If u ever need more storage u have to get a xbox series s card
Even without Game Pass, as I don't subscribe to that. As I just buy all my games from Microsoft Store. Because they always have deals on games, with big price discounts. I never buy video games at full price anymore. I currently have more than 300 games for my Xbox Series S.
I have a PS5 but I only use it for Cod and GTA I might sell it. I might just stick with the Series S since I only play cod most likely I'll game share with my cousin
If you want to play the latest games with all the bells and whistles, then no. I've had a Series S for a while now and it's annoying how many developers can't be bothered to optimise their games properly for it. Capcom being the perfect example, Street Fighter 6 looks like an Xbox 360 port on the Series S.
This console is definitely still worth it in 2023. If you're into current games in the xbox line and aren't a frame rate nerd this thing can't be beat.
The pros of this that the ps5 dont have due to it has edge browser build in the os system allows for some browser based cloud gaming service providers. Pros of it being that you can play games that normally arent on xbox but on pc ps5
I'm thinking about whether I should get the Xbox Series S as a second console. Whether that makes much sense because I know that I'll spend 70% more time on the PlayStion than on the Xbox, but I'll get it just for fun (weird flex) haha
I’ve got a ps5 so this will be my main console for 4k gaming exclusives etc but I want a series s as well for halo, game pass and some other games I think it’s worth it I’m debating on getting one should I?
I am really uappy to have the Xbox series s.Thank you i bought mine like a week ago and really i do enjoy this small machine.I don't mind about the graphics and i really enjoy this.
So it's totally worth it for causal gamers who'll only play few games hop in online or play single player campaigns. I'm going for this 512 gb white good review
I just got the Xbox one s and I regret it. Games don’t play well enough,I’ve played asphalt 9 and Roblox I was very disappointed, the maps won’t even load sometimes, bad pop in, & asphalt 9 was barely playable. Storage is crap on my system, can’t even play more than 3 games, & the downloads/load times are so unpleasant. I’ll just find a decent paying job & save up for a Xbox series s
Overall, I'm very surprised and have an pleasant trip with my Xbox Series S switched from PS4 Slim having issues with my account hacked over nothing and Sony refuses to help me. So i make the right call to go with Xbox thos generation. Nonetheless, great presentation
I know it’s a dumb question but I want to get an Xbox series S so I can play cross play 2k/cod and other games my friends that have ps5 have will my series S run smooth or lag and is better to just go with the X thank you 🙏
You're trolling or outright lying. Microsoft has a parity clause. Any game that hits the X has to also work on the S, with the same features. If you're going to lie, make sure its not a lie that is easily fact checked.
The Xbox Series S has always been worth it considering the hardware you are getting. If you want to just play video games and are not, a graphics or frame rate snob. The Xbox Series S is great value for money. If you really must have the best graphics and frame rate, you should be buying a good gaming PC. Instead of a video games console anyway.
Absolutely love the Series S, the 4K gaming isn't a must have or need for me. Picture looks incredible as it is @ 1440p, great little beast if your on a budget and still experience the current gen gaming 🎮🔥💯
have a 1440p montior with a display port, would you recommend it? or wait for an series X??

4K is a rare occurrence even on this generation of consoles. Either the game doesn’t support it or is a new release.
@@UltraGreenNo.57 Yea, and even on these high end consoles, they just upscales the graphic to 4k. Many games also don't even run in "4k" 60fps as they did claim when this generation came out
and to be honest i played my xbox series s in 4k tv. it upscale really well. its like real 4k to be honest. thats how it good
Nice! I have the Series X but recommended the Series S to a friend and she loves it!

Thanks so much bro! 🙌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Almost forgot about the series X. Gonna get a couple of these for my little brother and sister.
It’s great for the value , but i would just spend the extra $200 and get the X Or just get a Pc
PC is the best for sure
@@daydreamhero1374 Pc for sure is the best but if you work a 9-5 and have other hobbies , Console is the way to go IMO, i have both and i enjoy both

Now that you can get the 1tb version only for a little bit more $$ it’s worth it even more
100% worth it!
I think I’m getting one I’m mostly a Nintendo guy but it’s a few games that don’t come on there that ps5 and Xbox have that I want
Ordered the series s black because of this video
I kust got myself a S besides my ps5 to play starfield. I am impressed what the S offers for the price! Just amazing small device. Good job Microsoft.
This console is definitely still worth it in 2023. If you're into current games in the xbox line and aren't a frame rate nerd this thing can't be beat.
would you recommend it if I have a 1440p monitor?
@@eugene9122 Absolutely!
@@trevorsowder awesome thanks for the quick response!
you think how many years till the next gen games aren't gonna be available on series S?

Yes SeriesS does have hardware ray tracing, barely any games use it though because it smashes performance
With the series x randomly taking away 198 gbs after you update it, idk if I’d recommend the s to anyone
That's why you get the 1tb black series s
@@chriswright8074 that’s a thing now?!? How much for that one
350 i think
Found the Series S at Target today for $219.99 with 3 months of ultimate game pass - couldn't turn away! Thanks for the great review!
Great deal! Thanks!
We gotta stop calling these “next gen”😭
Great video man. I’m stuck I don’t know if I should buy it? I only play one ☝🏼 game and that’s FIFA ⚽️ 😅so I don’t know if it’s worth to buy…..
Thanks for supporting man!
For the price and how powerful this thing is yes buy it. It’s a no-brainer!
If you post battlefield ill definitely watch more
So it's totally worth it for causal gamers who'll only play few games hop in online or play single player campaigns. I'm going for this 512 gb white good review

just got 1 wednesday 255$

Literally?
To many numbers are wrong. Game resolutions, performance and more - all incorrect.
A lot of new titles are not being made for S anymore so this video is misleading.

The Series S wasn’t worth it in 2020. Just get the Series X.
