The Xbox Series S is Microsoft's smallest, cheapest next-gen console, and it is all-digital: there is no disc drive, so every game is bought or streamed. It targets 1440p and up to 120 FPS, with Quick Resume and fast load times from the SSD and Xbox Velocity Architecture. It plays digital games from four generations of Xbox and streams 4K video apps. Against the Series X it gives up the disc drive, 4K gaming and raw power; against a gaming PC it is far simpler and cheaper to own. Reviewers rate it a strong entry point for casual and budget players, while noting the 512GB drive fills quickly and the weaker GPU shows in demanding titles.
