The Xbox Series S is a sweet spot for gamers who is looking to get into current gen gaming, for those who are on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Slim, and especially Xbox One, Xbox One S players this may be the console for you. The Xbox Series S doesn’t have true 4k gaming, but it can upscale higher than 1440p. Quick Resume allows you to jump between 7 to 9 games where you left off at within seconds, fast load times, Ray tracing, gaming at up to 60 to 120fps, backwards compatibility from 3 generations of Xbox, and Smart Delivery meaning you get the Xbox Series X/S edition of a game free if you own the Xbox One version of the game, besides sports games and games published by Rockstar. The Xbox Series S has supports for 3D Spatial Audio, which means it makes watching movies, Tv shows and gaming sounds like your inside of the environments. The Xbox Series S allows you to stream 4KUHD content on Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, on TV streaming apps and TV shows. The Xbox Series S has a web browser built in called Microsoft Edge which runs on Windows 11 software. The Xbox Series S for the price is a very good deal.

I bought my Series S in early 2022 when it looked like the chip shortages would never end and was using it in conjunction with my OG 1080p 500GB Xbox One for disc based games. Fast forward a few months and I was unexpectedly able to snag a Series X at retail. But it's worked out well since I have the Series X in the living room hooked up to my 60Hz 4K TV and have the Series S in the spare room hooked up to my 12-year-old 1080p TV. I am an Xbox gamer going back to 2004 and have many games on physical disc so having the Series X is pretty much essential but I also own a lot of games digitally now too and the Series S has been a great experience for those. I hope Xbox as a brand can turn their fortunes around since we need a competitive balance in the console market.

There is simply no better gaming device for the money. This thing routinely has deals at $200 or under.

Currently making a cozy tv-gaming setup in my gaming room, was really in debate what console to get but decided to pick up the Xbox series S tomorrow!

I recently had a series s & x but sold both due to financial issues at the time. But having look back I never noticed a difference between the 2 consoles, both performed amazing but I do find myself purchasing a series s again over the x due to the affordability & favorable more

Hey @ValisMind I also have the Carbon Black series s with a Hisense TV pretty sure the same model and was wondering if you could tell me your Pictures settings for Game mode HDR Dolby Vision and SDR. Thanks man 🙏

First time viewer, new subscriber here. This was the perfect, informative video. You answered every question that I had when considering the Series S. I currently have a PS5, but want to take advantage of Game Pass, and the Series S looks to be my best option. Thanks for the information.

I have a switch and ps4 and I’m missing the Xbox and its library as I haven’t had an Xbox since the Xbox One about 8 years ago. I recently got gamepass for a good price on my laptop and I’m craving to play the entire library on console as I’m a console player at heart. The 1tb series S might be what I need.

Series S for 1080p, 1440p
Series X for 4k
Ps5 for 4k
Pc for 8k

[formetoknow]

33k whaoa remember when u was at 10 subscribers or 230 keep what you're doing because 100k then 500k is coming

[ikilledkenny]

I primarily play sports games, madden & 2k, the only reason I am switching is for ncaa & gta, worth the x or get the s with extra storage?

[lennonmudzengerere]

I'm new here and man you are creating mad content

[seangreenwell]

Hi, thanks for the video. Do you play your driving simulator behind you on the series S? Have you had issues with storage or speed for games like forza and using simulator?

[RehaanPlayz]

Me who plays on an 8k monitor 165 hz : 😳

[fletcherer]

Good vid, new sub here. I love the series S, it's a great way to get into this Gen and all the games on game pass, etc. Nice little powerhouse.

While I find a lot of enjoyment in my Series S, there are some titles that look less good even on a 1080p monitor compared to Series X, let alone PC. Forza Motorsport sometimes has some weird optimalisation decisions (missing shadows, overdone blur in cutscenes) Elite Dangerous runs smooth (a notorious resource hog on PC), however the anti-aliasing is just ugly, again compared to Series X. Immortals of Aveum is just a bad port and that studio will not repeat that mistake.
But the biggest issue with the white Series S (and I am surprised that the video did not mention it) is the SSD space, which lets you store only two (bigger) titles. And maybe a third one which is small enough. This actually breaks the 'such a good value with Game Pass' argument as you cannot exploit the value of the Game Pass having to constantly juggling with SSD space, and deleting and redownloading you third favourite game.
I had made my homework diligently purchase and together with the white Xbox Series S, I invested in an external 2 TB SSD, from which I play the Xbox One titles directly and keep the Series X/S optimized titles only on the internal SSD. And it is just good for me, but your mileage may vary.

I am so surprised that nobody commented on the kitty who jumped in for some sim driving apparently...

The only thing that I do not like about the series S so far is it does not have an optical audio port and I run mine through a projector that only has one HDMI which goes into my Xbox and there is only one HDMI in the Xbox as well so I don’t have a way to plug my audio into my projector or Xbox

[zaiologyy]

Thanks for an awesome honest review, I love this beast and will be getting one here soon! Such a trip how close it is to the series X quality. Good stuff!

[amirhossenin]

Iwant to place it in my room on the wall so I need a television. Do you recommend a 4k or a full hd for series s black carbon?

[hassanvurt]

I play the series s on a 60hz 1080p monitor and the experience has been more than great now. I’ve been playing old games that I’ve missed out on.
