Microsoft’s Xbox Series S is ideal for those who want to jump into the next generation on the cheap and don’t mind going all-digital. The Series S is currently on sale on Amazon for just £227, down from the usual £249. That’s a great price for this compact yet powerful device, and the first time we’ve seen a next-gen console significantly below its UK RRP.
The Xbox Series S is also an ideal companion for Xbox Game Pass, with its low cost leaving you with space to get in Game Pass Ultimate, which now includes EA Play for access to a host of games on PC and console. It’s £11 a month, but you can get your first month for a pound here.
The Series S is a great upgrade for those still on Xbox One or even Xbox One X, with similar resolutions but with double the frame rates. The SSD built into the Series S and Xbox’s Quick Resume setting also mean incredibly snappy loading times, and instant swapping if you’ve got a few games on the go at once. Compared to the Xbox Series X, you do have a little less storage to play with, but you’re also saving a fair bit of money that you could use to pick up an expansion card when they’re on sale down the line.
