Xbox Series S price cut confirmed, if you were still holding out

If you need to get an Xbox on the cheap, say for a Christmas present or even just as a little treat, then I’ve got good news for you.

As revealed by Microsoft themselves on the Xbox Wire blog, the Black Friday deals have hit Xbox a little earlier than expected this year.

According to the post, almost all of these deals are available from now until 2 December next month, just in time for pay day.

There are a few little game-specific deals in here, like promotional $5 gift cards alongside purchases of titles such as Diablo IV and NHL 25, but let’s skip ahead to the bit you’re here for.

If you wanted to snag an Xbox Series X console, the 1TB model is currently $50 cheaper than its standard retail price - exclusively through the Xbox website.

It’s the same deal for the Xbox Series S, although this $50 discount doesn’t kick in until 21 November.

Almost all of the Xbox Wireless and Xbox Elite controllers are also $10 cheaper, and you can even get them engraved for free up until 5 December too.

And finally, dozens of selected titles are up to 55% off on Xbox consoles and up to 60% off on PC. There are way too many to list, so I suggest you take a peak at what’s available through the Xbox Wire blog.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle lands on Xbox next month.

Be warned, however, these deals are only available through the American side of the Xbox site. If you have a gander at the UK site, both consoles are still only currently available for full price.

On the plus side, this is a good indication of the kinds of savings people in other parts of the world can expect, whenever Microsoft opts to actually announce any region-specific Black Friday deals.

We will, of course, update you as soon as Microsoft announces any further discounts, so keep an eye out over the next few days.
