The best Xbox Series X deals are here to help you grab a very capable game console that won't cost the world. Whether you're a long-term Xbox gamer finally upgrading, or you're a PC gamer looking for a cheaper alternative to play more relaxing Game Pass games on the couch with, you've come to the right place. Xbox Series X consoles don't go down in price very often, and this year we've seen fewer bundles than we'd like. Still, we're here to help make your shopping trip easier.

With the addition of new Xbox Series X and S models that arrive this October, here's hoping we'll see more discounts as we approach the big deals season. Prime Day and Black Friday are just around the corner, so it'd make sense that we see some bargains soon. Xbox consoles are struggling to keep up with PlayStation's rate of sales at the moment, so a healthy supply of bundles and offers will make things more competitive. Of course, there are always the best Xbox Series X accessories, which are on sale more frequently. There's nothing like a new controller, headset, or storage device to upgrade your existing console.

You'll find the best Xbox Series X deals we've found this month down below, separated by region to make things easier. We've thrown a couple of accessories in there, but as we head into deals season these are fewer in number than we'd like. We've also supplied some answers to frequently asked questions, so read on to find some bargains.

Xbox Series X 2TB Special Edition | $599 at Best Buy
The 2TB Special Edition Xbox Series X is up for pre-order at Best Buy, and you get a beautiful controller with some green flourishes for your money.

Xbox Series X Diablo IV Bundle$559.99$548 at WalmartSave $10

Xbox Series X Diablo IV Bundle | $559.99 $548 at Walmart
Save $10 -  Since Diablo IV has been added to Game Pass, we'll let you decide if this is still good value versus a monthly subscription, but if you want to play the game without signing on for another monthly fee, this could work out well.

Price check: $533 at Amazon

Xbox Series X All Access | $24.99 per month over 24 months at Walmart

Xbox Series X All Access | $24.99 per month over 24 months at Walmart
Walmart has been offering Xbox Series X deals via Xbox All Access for a while now, and if you're happy to pay monthly it's one of the most cost-effective ways to grab a console and Game Pass Ultimate subscription available. 

By removing the cost of an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership from the final price, you're actually saving $20 on the console itself by taking this route.

WD Black C50 1TB$157.99$149.99 at AmazonSave $8

WD Black C50 1TB | $157.99 $149.99 at Amazon
Save $8 - The WD Black C50 is our go-to expansion card recommendation for Xbox Series X and S. If you want to get some additional storage space for your games, and you don't want to miss out on Quick Resume, the C50 is your best bet.

Xbox Elite Series 2$179.99$141.99 at AmazonSave $38

Xbox Elite Series 2 | $179.99 $141.99 at Amazon
Save $38 - The Elite Series 2 is still one of the best controllers money can buy, and when it’s cheaper than the other two best alternatives for Xbox, it’s easy to recommend. Its average price is only $3 more than this, but you’re saving a pretty great chunk compared to its regular retail price. Its lowest-ever price at Amazon was $137.99, so this isn't too far off.

Microsoft Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller$129.99$114.99 at WalmartSave $15

Microsoft Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller | $129.99 $114.99 at Walmart
Save $15 - If you want the same Elite controller without its back paddles and thumbstick options, you can get the Elite Series 2 Core for a bit cheaper. We've seen this on offer a lot over the last year, and if you buy unofficial components you can get the full Elite Series 2 experience for a bit cheaper.

Xbox Series X deals in the UK

Xbox Series X | £479.99 £449 at Amazon
Save £30 -

Xbox Series X | £479.99 £449 at Amazon
Save £30 - Bagging an Xbox Series X for under £450 is excellent outwith the big sales events. In this deal from Amazon that's exactly what you can do right now. There doesn't seem to be stock of the Diablo IV and Forza bundles at the moment, but the retail page does list them, so keep your eyes peeled.

Xbox Series X (Certified Refurbished) | £449.99 £419.99 at Microsoft
Save £30 -

Xbox Series X (Certified Refurbished) | £449.99 £419.99 at Microsoft
Save £30 - You can also save £30 at the UK Microsoft store, by opting for a certified refurbished console. Again, considering stock is so easy to get hold of at Amazon, we'd recommend picking up a brand-new model for the best value. However, if you're after the lowest price possible this is it.

Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition | $429 at Currys

Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition | $429 at Currys
The all-new, all-digital Xbox Series X is available for pre-order at Currys right now, and you can get it for £429. Buying from Currys is a nice bonus because you have a few different cost-spreading methods.

Xbox Series X + Diablo IV Bundle£481 at AmazonSave £24

Xbox Series X + Diablo IV Bundle | £481 at Amazon
Save £24 - The Diablo IV bundle is a great way to kick off your game library for Xbox Series X, if you aren't a Game Pass member already. I haven't seen this bundle so low in the UK, but the listing does say there's only one left in stock, so that may be why.

What is the Xbox Series X price?

The official Xbox Series X price is $499 in the US and £449 in the UK. If you see a price higher than that without any extras, you are being overcharged and should avoid. Typically the inflated prices aren't subtle either, we're talking hundreds rather than tens extra. 

Some stores may take advantage in other ways by limited sellable stock to bundles, with extra games or headset. We've seen some with really naff hats and T-shirts too. Some stores might bump up the prices of these items, but one thing's for sure, you won't be saving a penny on the bundled items at this time.

Xbox Series X deals on accessories

The Xbox Series X price might make you wince, but the console's got one major advantage you may not have considered - backward compatibility for accessories and games.

After paying for a console, you'd normally have to factor in costs for games along with new controllers, subscriptions, and whatever extras the publishers are pushing. But with any Xbox Series X bundles, all of your existing Xbox One accessories and services are forwards compatible. That means your achievements, progression, controllers, memberships, and Xbox One headsets move forward to Series X. Many of the top audio-brands have contributed to our guide to the best Xbox Series X headsets as a result.

The console also lets you play older Xbox One games via both the optical disc drive and digital download, not to mention Game Pass. That allows you to save a couple of hundred dollars right off the bat - you don't need to buy specific 'next-gen' versions of a game, as they're usually the same.

We've gathered the best Xbox Series X deals on games and accessories below. Check them out if you want a discount!

How to save on the Xbox Series X price

The Xbox Series X price is still a hefty chunk of cash to spend. But you don't necessarily have to pay it off in one go. Enter Microsoft's fancy Xbox All Access system. This is a payment plan, and it allows you to get an Xbox Series X for a monthly fee spread over two years. It'll set you back $34.99 per month in the US, £28.99p/m in the UK, and $46p/m in Australia. 

Interestingly, Xbox All Access doesn't just get you the console. It also offers 24 months of Game Pass Ultimate as well. Because Game Pass is a bit like Netflix for gaming (with well over 100 games and counting), that's a solid deal. Particularly due to the fact that new Xbox exclusive games like Halo will appear on Game Pass for free on the day of release. 

Thanks to this, Xbox All Access might be one of the more sensible options when it comes to buying an Xbox Series X. Indeed, it saves you money in the long run. Sure, you're only getting a small amount knocked off the overall price, but it's still cheaper than buying the console and two years of Game Pass separately.

However, be advised that you won't find Xbox All Access in many stores besides Microsoft. GameStop and Walmart fill that role in the US, and Game or Smyths have the honor in the UK.

Ever since playing Journey at the age of 15, I’ve been desperate to cover video games for a living. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship over at Expert Reviews. Besides that, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel and Podcast for the last 7 years. It’s been a long road, but all that experience somehow landed me a dream job covering gaming hardware. I’m a self-confessing PlayStation fanboy, but my experience covering the larger business and developer side of the whole industry has given me a strong knowledge of all platforms. When I’m not testing out every peripheral I can get my hands on, I’m probably either playing tennis or dissecting game design for an upcoming video essay. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension. Location: UK Remote
