Recommendation X Box Series S - worth getting?

[Kid_Eternity]

Hi folks, I have a Switch and PS5 and have just got a year's free Game Pass Ultimate. Don't really feel like forking out for the full fat X Box but wondered is the S model worth it? Anyone have one, any plus or negatives?

Why would you want one if you have a PS5? Any particular titles on one that aren't on the other that would make you pull the trigger?
I suppose a year's worth of free access to to games (if you happen to like any of them) could be tempting. But they're not really free given you'd have to pay for the console, and maybe a gold account, and then continue with the game pass sub if you're into it.
I'm always dubious about free trial subs given they generally exist to draw you into an ecosystem of continuing it.

You can use game pass on PC also.

And on your phone.

I have a Mac, plus generally I'm very much a TV/ console gamer.

As said free gamepass, and now with MS owning so many things curious about being able to play games that won't make it to PS5...

I can't imagine anything more terrible tbh.

Its not bad on a tablet, but yeah a phone is probably too much.
