Our take on the Microsoft Xbox Series S Console (1TB Carbon Black)

The Xbox Series S is Microsoft's all-digital, disc-free console, and this Carbon Black model doubles the original's 512GB SSD to 1TB. It targets 1440p gaming at up to 120fps with HDR, supports Quick Resume and Dolby Atmos, and is about 60% smaller than the Series X. At $598 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, it sits well above the console's typical street price, so this listing is a poor value right now.

Best forBudget-minded gamers moving to current-genSmall rooms and secondary TVsGame Pass subscribers who don't need discsTravelers and dorm setups
Pros
  • 1TB SSD holds far more games than the 512GB original
  • Small, light design (4.25 lbs, 11 in tall) fits tight spaces
  • Runs most current-gen games at 1440p with HDR and up to 120fps
  • Quick Resume swaps between several games instantly
  • Dolby Atmos and DTS 5.1 audio support
  • Expandable via Seagate Expansion Card or USB 3.1 drives
Cons
  • No disc drive, so physical games and Blu-ray are out
  • 10GB RAM and weaker GPU mean some games run at lower resolution or 30fps
  • 4K output is upscaled, not native
  • Storage expansion cards are expensive
  • $598 is far above the console's usual price

Questions and answers

Is the 1TB Series S worth it over the 512GB model?
Yes if you keep several big games installed. The 1TB drive roughly doubles capacity, and a Seagate expansion card costs more than the price gap between the two models.
Does the Series S play discs?
No. It is all-digital, so games come from the Microsoft Store or Game Pass, and it cannot play Blu-ray movies.
Can it output 4K?
It outputs a 4K signal to your TV, but games render at up to 1440p and are upscaled. Native 4K gaming is a Series X feature.
What comes in the box?
The console, one Xbox Wireless Controller, an HDMI cable and a power cable. No headset or extra controller.
How do I add storage?
Use a Seagate Expansion Card for current-gen games, or a USB 3.1 external drive for backward-compatible titles.
When is it cheapest?
The Series S regularly sells well below $598, especially around Black Friday and holiday sales. At $598 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, waiting for a discount makes sense.
Where is the Microsoft Xbox Series S Console (1TB Carbon Black) cheapest?
At Walmart, for $598.00, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Microsoft Xbox Series S Console (1TB Carbon Black)?
