Deals on the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, plus controllers and games, make it so you can save money while getting everything you need.

Black Friday Xbox deals: Best deals

Best Black Friday Xbox console deals

Okay, first thing first: you’ll need a console. Luckily, Microsoft gives you a couple of options. The entry-level option is the Xbox Series S, which doesn’t run games in 4K resolution and loses the disc drive. However, if you’re someone who uses Xbox Game Pass or only buys digital games, the Series S is great unless you need a truly cutting-edge gaming experience.

Plus, there are actually a couple of good deals on the Series S this Black Friday. The best deal right now is the Xbox Series S for just $239 at Amazon (opens in new tab). This is one of the lower prices we’ve seen for the console, but it’s on sale for $249 at a lot of other retailers if this price goes away.

If you want something more powerful, then the Xbox Series X is for you. This next-generation console does native 4K gaming and 4K upscaling with a maximum resolution of 8K. It’s truly the best Xbox ever and will be future-proof for years to come. Unfortunately, there are no discounts on the Series X right now, but at least it’s finally in stock.

Okay, so you have a console and maybe an extra controller. Now you need some games to play. Black Friday is an excellent time to pick up some of the best Xbox Series X/S games, so make sure you grab some before they go back to full price.

One of the best deals out there right now is Elden Ring for just $35 at Walmart (opens in new tab). We found Elden Ring to be a great game when we reviewed it, with deep demanding gameplay and robust character building. 

And while there are some great deals on first-party Microsoft Xbox games, don’t forget you can get those games included in Xbox Game Pass. So don’t take advantage of the (admittedly great) Halo Infinite deal below if you have Game Pass. You already have it.

So now you have the console, at least one controller and some great games. Now it’s time to round everything out with some great Xbox accessories. 

Right now, the best deal is probably this Xbox Wireless Controller in Pulse Red for just $39 at Best Buy (opens in new tab) This deal when combined with the Xbox Series S deal at Amazon (opens in new tab) is even cheaper than buying the Xbox Series S with a second controller at Walmart (opens in new tab).

But there are also some deals on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which is a must if you want to experience everything the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series S have to offer. Right now you can get an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate 3 Month Membership for $40 at Amazon (opens in new tab). If you just want to try the service, you can get your first month for just  $1 at Microsoft (opens in new tab).
