is part of: Xbox Series X vs Xbox Series S
main entity: Can Xbox Series S play all the same games as Series X?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Yes, all Xbox Series X/S games work on both consoles through Smart Delivery, but Series S versions may have reduced resolution (1440p vs 4K), lower frame rates (30-60fps vs 60-120fps), or reduced graphical settings. Both support ray tracing and play Game Pass titles identically in terms of library access.
    language: en-US
main entity: Is the 512GB storage on Series S really a problem?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Yes, practically speaking. Modern AAA games consume 100-150GB each, so Series S holds 3-5 large titles before filling up. Expansion requires a $150-200 external 2TB SSD, adding 40-50% to console cost. Series X's 1TB helps but also fills quickly, making external storage important for both.
    language: en-US
main entity: Which console should I buy if I have a 1440p TV?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Xbox Series S is the optimal choice for 1440p displays. Series X is designed for 4K TVs and wastes its performance advantage on lower-resolution screens. Series S delivers silky-smooth 60-120fps gameplay at native 1440p for half the price, making it a perfect match.
    language: en-US
main entity: Does Xbox Series S struggle with current-gen games in 2026?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Series S remains competitive for most 2026 games at 1440p, but increasingly faces trade-offs. Demanding titles like Starfield run at 30fps on Series S versus 60fps on Series X. Game Pass day-one titles are optimized for both, but expect Series S to lag 6-12 months behind as developers optimize for Series X and PC.
    language: en-US
main entity: Can I use external USB storage with Series X/S?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Partially. External USB drives store backward-compatible Xbox One/360 games but cannot store Series X/S optimized titles. Only Seagate's proprietary 2TB/1TB SSD expansion ($150-200) plays Series X/S games directly, making it the only practical expansion option for the current generation.
