Xbox Series S review: Next-gen graphics for just over HALF the price of top model

CHEAP and cheerful is the Xbox Series S – a budget way to get this year’s next-gen console.

I’ve been testing the sleek new gaming machine, and I reckon you’ll struggle to find better value anywhere else.

What is the Xbox Series S?

Microsoft has two next-gen consoles coming out in 2020: the Xbox Series X and Series S.

The former is the proper powerhouse, with bleeding-edge specs and a £449/$499 price tag to match.

Meanwhile, the Series S is cheaper at £249/$299, but you lose some of the graphical heft – and a disc tray.

So the Series S is clearly for buyers on a budget, but is it any good? Absolutely!
