Answer first
These are related Xbox One-family models with different physical and performance constraints.
Do not make a library decision from the family name alone. The optical drive, exact model, title support and entitlement route can all change the answer. Source ↗ Source ↗ Source ↗
01 / Family comparison
Meaningful differences
| Model | Main distinction | Optical-drive state | Documented storage | Reader consequence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xbox One | Original family configuration | Blu-ray disc drive | 500 GB | Physical-media use still depends on the exact game and edition |
| Xbox One S | Compact redesign | 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray drive | 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB | Capacity alone does not identify an internal revision |
| Xbox One X | Higher-performance revision | 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray drive | 1 TB | Enhancements and compatibility remain title-specific |
| Xbox One S All-Digital Edition | Disc-free configuration | No optical drive | 1 TB | It cannot read a physical Xbox disc |
What stays the same question
All three names appear in the Xbox One family, but that alone does not prove any specific disc, accessory, Kinect setup, backward-compatible title or online feature will work. Use exact model and task evidence.

For a sensor setup, see Kinect compatibility. For physical and digital access, see disc versus digital.
