The Xbox One S is a slimmer Xbox One that’s 40% smaller than the original. It plays the Xbox One library plus backward compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox games. It adds HDR for supported games and plays 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. Microsoft still releases system updates for the Xbox One family, including a July 2026 update. It’s a good choice for a living room setup that handles both games and movies.
