Microsoft Xbox One S 1TB Console

Product Information

It’s a far more affordable option than the two dedicated UHD Blu-ray players currently on the market. As the name implies, this console is essentially the Slim redesign for the Xbox One, made necessary by the further demands of cheaper manufacturing costs and more portability. I used a Samsung UE49KS7000 , which is one of the least expensive TVs to get ticks across the board.

You can add stand-alone purchases of Xbox Game Pass and the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S for the complete experience. Back to the now-humble S, though, its power is not just for better gaming quality – it also doubles as an Ultra HD Blu-ray player. When you first boot up, it will ask if you want to select 4K resolution, so respond with “hell yes”. For you guys and girls, we put together a special guide that should answer all your questions: Xbox One vs PS4.You want something more powerful: The Xbox One S is a weak console in comparison to its current siblings, failing to reach a 1080p resolution and consistent level of performance with most modern titles. Since 2016, Microsoft streamlined the console even further by releasing the (now discontinued) Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. Sure, some games will have additional HDR capabilities on Microsoft's latest console, but the developers at 343 won't make the game in the Halo franchise an Xbox One S exclusive by any means. The only clear disadvantage to using the Xbox One S as a 4K Blu-ray player is that it doesn’t support Dolby Atmos audio. While the Xbox One S is deep down the same console Microsoft released in 2013, there have been significant changes.

This may allow for a minor improvement in performance, but Microsoft says it isn’t supposed to be a selling point. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. With Xbox Series S, an Xbox Series S console, controller, Ultra High Speed HDMI cable and power cord are included.Microsoft’s service has a selection of excellent titles on it right now, and all of its first-party efforts will arrive on day one at no extra cost. Whether you're looking for a day one launch title, one of over a hundred favourites in the Xbox Game Pass library, or any of thousands of backward compatible classics, there is always something to play on the all-digital Xbox Series S.
