Microsoft has listed some of its Xbox Black Friday deals early, which includes a notable discount on a brand-new Xbox Series X console. Xbox gamers can also save on select accessories, including Xbox Wireless Controllers, during the year’s biggest shopping season.

Every year, Microsoft hosts major Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales for Xbox Series X|S consoles, accessories, and games to get fans prepared for the holiday season. It’s a great opportunity for Xbox gamers to get each other gifts or to introduce another to what Xbox has to offer this generation. Leading up to Black Friday on November 29, some deals may go early with savings that gamers may want to consider before stock sells out.

Xbox Game Pass Confirms Arrival of Beloved Trilogy

Xbox Game Pass confirms the arrival of a widely beloved trilogy that some vocal fans have been requesting for over a year by now.

Two weeks ahead of Black Friday, the US Microsoft Store is now hosting a $50 discount on a new Xbox Series X 1TB console with an optical 4K Blu-ray drive, as spotted by PureXbox. The discount brings the price of the Xbox Series X console down to $449.99, and fans could potentially save even more due to Microsoft’s price protection policy. The policy states that a price adjustment can be made after making an order from the Microsoft Store if the console is found at an even lower price at qualified retailers in the US before January 31, 2025. There’s also free two to three-day shipping, so gamers who immediately take advantage of the deal will likely receive their new console before the week ends. Those wanting to shop at local retailers may also find an Xbox Series X console for $449.99 at Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.
