Is the Series S worth it over the Series X?

If you play on a 1080p or 1440p screen and buy games digitally, the Series S covers the same library. The Series X adds a disc drive, 4K output and more storage for buyers who want those.

Does it play disc games?

No. It is all-digital, so every game must be downloaded from the Microsoft Store or played through Game Pass.

How much storage does it have?

It ships with a 512GB custom SSD. Part is used by the system, so expect room for only a handful of large games before you add the Seagate expansion card.

What is included in the box?

The console, one Xbox Wireless Controller, a high-speed HDMI cable and a power cable, plus the Fortnite and Rocket League content and one month of Game Pass Ultimate.

Does it run Fortnite and Rocket League at 120fps?

Yes, both games offer a 120fps mode on the Series S when your TV or monitor supports 120Hz.

Can I use my old Xbox One controller and accessories?

Yes. Xbox One wireless controllers and most officially licensed accessories work with the Series S.

Our take on the Fortnite & Rocket League Bundle with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: 1 Month

This is the Xbox Series S, Microsoft's all-digital, disc-free console, bundled with Fortnite and Rocket League content and one month of Game Pass Ultimate. It targets 1440p gaming at up to 120fps and uses a custom NVMe SSD with the Velocity Architecture for fast load times and Quick Resume. It is the smallest and least expensive way into the Xbox ecosystem, but it has no disc drive, 512GB of storage that fills quickly, and less raw power than the Series X. Owners like its compact size and quiet operation; reviewers note the storage limit and the 1080p-to-1440p target as the main trade-offs.
