Xbox owners looking to upgrade their console to a Series S or the superior Series X are advised to send Amazon their old tech.

Can you believe it's been more than a decade since the Xbox One landed?

If you no longer play yours, have it tucked away at the back of a cupboard gathering dust, or are just ready for a change, then Amazon is on hand to offer some compensation.

By using the retailer's Trade-In Program, you can hand in your 1TB Xbox One for a cash reward, and put it towards grabbing a newer version.

So, how much can you get back for your Xbox, and what other devices are eligible for trade-in? Find out more below.

What is the Amazon Trade-In Program?

Designed to promote sustainability, the Amazon Trade-In Program exists as a way for you to part with your old technology without putting it straight into landfill.

By sending the retailer your well-used Fire TV Stick, Kindle Paperwhite, or once-loved Samsung Galaxy phone, Amazon will recycle or refurbish the item, eventually selling it on to a new home.

All you need to do is answer some questions about the condition and quality of your item, send it to Amazon, and you’ll receive a financial reward in the form of a gift voucher.

If you’re handing an Amazon product back to the retailer, then you may also be eligible for a 20 percent discount, which you can use on products across the site.

For instance, if you trade in your Xbox this week, you could receive a cash reward of up to £29, depending on its condition.

If it’s an Xbox Series X that you’ve got your eye on, then your gift card will reduce it from £469.99 to £440.99.

Ready to jump ship? A standard PlayStation 5 console is on sale for £487.99 right now, with the extra discount sending its price plummeting to £458.99.

An OLED Ninendo Switch can be brought down from £295 to £266 with the discount,
