The Xbox Series S is Microsoft's smallest, cheapest current-generation console, and it is all-digital: there is no disc drive, so every game is downloaded from the Microsoft Store or played through Game Pass. It runs the same next-gen games as the Series X at lower resolution, targeting 1440p instead of 4K, with a custom NVMe SSD and Quick Resume that jumps between several suspended games in seconds. It suits budget-minded and secondary-room players, families, and anyone who already buys games digitally. Against the Series X it gives up the disc drive, 4K output, and roughly half the storage, and the 512GB drive fills quickly with big titles.

Owners and reviewers treat the Series S as the value pick of the generation: fast, tiny and quiet, with Game Pass doing much of the selling. The recurring complaints are the small drive and the lower-resolution picture on 4K TVs.
