Andy Hoyle/CNET
Heads up, vacation customers: The Xbox Collection S is presently in inventory at Walmart. In a approach, that is not information: In contrast to the newer Nintendo Switch OLED and the extra highly effective Xbox Collection X and PS5, the Collection S has all the time been comparatively simple to acquire since its November 2020 launch.
However we’re highlighting it right here as a result of — at the same time as of us proceed to pay huge premiums for the possibility to snag a PS5 — we have discovered the Xbox Collection S to be a great little gaming box when paired with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Sure, loads of avid gamers shake their heads at this $300 console as a result of it does not ship “true 4K” gaming. That is true, as is the truth that it packs a comparatively paltry 512GB of storage (a proprietary expansion card costs a whopping $220). It does not play disc-based video games or films, and should you’re awaiting upcoming PlayStation exclusives like Horizon Forbidden West or God of War: Ragnarok, you will not discover them right here.
However as somebody who’s owned a Collection S for the previous 11 months, I feel the advantages far outweigh these caveats. After all, the Collection S presents all these different huge cross-platform video games of the season — the most recent entries within the Battlefield, Madden, Name of Obligation and Grand Theft Auto collection, to call a couple of. And due to Sport Go, I’ve entry to dozens of different nice video games at no additional cost, together with the Xbox-exclusive Halo Infinite when it hits on December 8. Not too shabby.
