While some manufacturers increase the price of their console by around fifty euros, the Xbox Series S sees its price melt for the start of the school year. It thus falls to less than 300 euros at Micromania.
Often overshadowed by the Xbox Series X, the Xbox Series S nevertheless has many advantages. It is more compact than its big sister, quieter too. Powerful enough to play the latest games in very good conditions, it offers excellent value for money. Especially when it’s sold out.
Micromania drops the price of the Xbox Series S to 269.99 euros, against 299.99 euros usually, an immediate reduction of 30 euros. The brand goes further since a promotion is also applied to the Xbox All Access subscription. This goes to 23.74 euros per month instead of 24.99 euros monthly, all for 24 months.
Smaller…
Let’s talk without further ado about the first advantage of the Xbox Series S: it is available. You will therefore be able to play the latest AAA games such as indie games while being comfortably seated on your sofa.
The design of the Xbox Series S contrasts with that of the Xbox Series X. Not content with being more compact, it sports a very sober white plastic shell. This allows it to blend into the decor without distorting your interior design. This finesse is due to the absence of an optical drive. The Xbox Series S plays the dematerialized card thoroughly, thus avoiding you to invest in libraries to store your games.
If it embeds a fan to regulate its temperature, it shows an impressive silence. No more feeling of being near an airplane engine when playing the console for several hours. Of course, the Series S takes advantage of the new version of the Xbox controller. Always as pleasant to handle, it benefits from some improvements such as a grainy coating or small motors under the triggers for additional vibrations.
…but powerful
Although it is less powerful than its predecessor, the Xbox Series S is nonetheless a powerful machine that fully deserves its title of next-gen console. We find a technical sheet substantially comparable to that of the Series X. The console draws its power from an AMD Zen2 processor, a chipsets AMD RDNA2 graphics and a 512 GB NVMe SSD. A combination that can run recent games at up to 120 FPS in decent graphics quality.
The Xbox Series S will easily meet the requirements of gamers using a Full HD or 1440p screen. Like all next-gen consoles, loading times are ultra-fast, which allows games to be launched almost immediately.
Without forgetting its intuitive interface which allows you to find your favorite titles in a few clicks.
A game catalog boosted by the Xbox Game Pass
In the absence of an optical drive, the Xbox Series S revolves perfectly around the Xbox Game Pass. This subscription game service provides access to a catalog of varied titles. This one evolves every month with many new additions, ranging from the latest releases to must-have classics and indie gems.
A game library that includes no less than 400 titles, including those from Xbox Games Studios, available from the launch of the game. Games that you can of course buy if you don’t want to extend your Xbox Game Pass subscription. Your backups are kept, so you don’t have to start all over again from the beginning.
Finally, the Xbox Game Pass offers many advantages, such as access to the EA Play service, discounts on the price of games and free bonuses.
