Xbox Series S two-minute review The Xbox Series S can be slightly challenging to separate from Microsoft's flagship console, the Xbox Series X, but once you start reading between the lines there are several blatant differences to differentiate the pair. The Xbox Series S is designed to take the same generational leaps as the Series X, like including ray tracing, hosting super fast load times, and showcasing higher frame rates, but due to it's smaller price tag, some notable compromises are bound to happen.  The Xbox Series S is praised for its digital-only build, but surprisingly there is significantly less storage than the Xbox Series X . The console also targets a 1440p resolution rather than 4K, with the opportunity to upscale when connected to an Ultra HD display.
