A week before Thanksgiving, Xbox has announced its Black Friday and Cyber Monday hardware deals on Xbox Series X/S consoles and controllers. Retailers from Amazon to GameStop have been promoting early Black Friday video game deals, but publishers and hardware manufacturers like Nintendo and PlayStation have also been teasing significant holiday savings.
Fans were excited to hear rumors that Xbox Series X could be getting a major Black Friday price cut thanks to some European listings. With games like Starfield being exclusive to the current-gen hardware, gamers might be looking to make a jump from the Xbox One. With the high-end Xbox Series X coming in at just under $500, some holiday savings might be just what many fans have been waiting for.
Xbox has announced that, starting as early as this weekend, it’s knocking $50 off select Xbox Series X/S consoles and $10 off select wireless controllers. Beginning on Saturday, November 18, the Microsoft Store and participating retailers will be offering the Xbox Series X for $449.99 USD and the Xbox Series S Starter Bundle for $249.99 USD. The Series S starter bundle includes the 512 GB version of the console, a wireless controller, a high-speed HDMI cable, and three months of Game Pass Ultimate to play games like Starfield, Forza Motorsport, and Halo. Additionally, both the Xbox Series X Diablo 4 Bundle and the Series X Forza Horizon 5 Bundle will be $50 off.
Microsoft is also offering $10 off on select Xbox Wireless Controllers starting November 18. Beginning on Thanksgiving, November 23, Elite Series 2 Controllers purchased through the Xbox Design Lab are eligible for free engraving. This deal runs through November 30. In combination with some of the best early Black Friday console and controller deals this year, there are some serious savings to be had for Xbox gamers.
