Xbox Releases New Series S Console
The Xbox Series S was released on November 10, 2020, alongside the Xbox Series X. It is the less powerful of the two consoles, but it is also significantly cheaper, at $299. The Series S has a 512GB solid-state drive (SSD), compared to the Series X’s 1TB SSD. It also has a less powerful GPU and CPU. However, it can still play all of the same games as the Series X, albeit at lower resolutions and frame rates.
The Xbox Series S is a good option for gamers who are looking for a more affordable way to experience the next generation of gaming. It is also a good option for gamers who are primarily interested in playing multiplayer games, as the Series S’s lower resolution and frame rates will not be as noticeable in those games.
In June 2023, Microsoft released a new version of the Xbox Series S with a 1TB SSD. This version is priced at $349, the same as the original version. The new version is available in a black color, while the original version is only available in white.
Whether or not the Xbox Series S is worth it depends on your individual needs and budget. If you are a hardcore gamer who wants the best possible gaming experience, then the Xbox Series X is the better option. However, if you are looking for a more affordable way to play next-generation games, then the Xbox Series S is a good choice.
Here are some of the pros and cons of the Xbox Series S:
Pros:
- Affordable
- Plays all Xbox games
- Small and compact design
- Quiet operation
Cons:
- Lower resolution and frame rates than the Xbox Series X
- Smaller storage capacity

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to buy an Xbox Series S is up to you. Consider your needs and budget carefully before making a decision.
