Is the 1TB Series S worth it over the 512GB model?

Yes if you keep several large games installed. The 1TB drive roughly doubles capacity and avoids constant deleting, at a modest premium over the original.

Does the Series S play disc games?

No. It is all-digital, so you buy and download games from the Microsoft Store or play them through Game Pass.

Does it output native 4K?

It renders at up to 1440p and upscales to 4K on a 4K TV. The Series X targets native 4K.

Is Game Pass Ultimate included?

No. The console ships with a wireless controller, HDMI cable and batteries; Game Pass Ultimate is a separate subscription.

Can it play Xbox 360 and original Xbox games?

Yes, through backward compatibility, for titles on the supported list. Some run the Xbox One S version rather than a Series S-optimized build.

How does it compare with the Series X?

The Series S is smaller, cheaper and digital-only, with a weaker GPU and no disc drive. The Series X adds a disc drive, more power and native 4K.
