Is the Xbox Series S worth it at $400?

Not at that price. $400 is well above what this console normally sells for, and 8 stores list it new, so compare before buying. It is a good entry console closer to its usual price.

Does the Series S play discs?

No. It is all-digital, so games, movies and apps come from the Microsoft Store or a disc-free Game Pass plan.

How much storage does it have, and can I add more?

It ships with a 512GB SSD. You can add a Seagate Expansion Card or plug in a USB 3.1 external HDD for backward-compatible games.

The console, one Xbox Wireless Controller, an HDMI cable and a power cable. Box design varies by release date, but every bundle includes the wires and controller.

Series S or Series X?

The Series X has a disc drive, more power and native 4K. The Series S is smaller and cheaper but upscales to 4K and has less storage.

When is the Series S cheapest?

It drops around Black Friday, the holidays and major game launches. Watch the price history here rather than paying a premium listing.

Our take on the Xbox Series S Console

The Xbox Series S is Microsoft's all-digital, budget-tier console. It targets 1440p gaming at up to 120 fps, supports HDR and 3D audio, and is about 60% smaller than the Series X. It has no disc drive, so every game is a download. At $400 at Stateline Video Games Inc. as of November 3, 2026, it sits well above the console's usual street price, so this listing is a poor value against the 8 stores that carry it new.
