FAQ
When will Cyber Monday Xbox deals start?
Cyber Monday will fall on December 2 this year, which means you still have loads of time to prepare and save up for the gaming hardware you want. That said, we wouldn't necessarily recommend waiting only for Cyber Monday deals, since Black Friday is essentially the exact same thing these days. Early Black Friday offers start to emerge a week or two before that event officially starts, so it might be worth checking for those. If you need something sooner, October's Prime Day event might be worth watching as well.

What to expect from Cyber Monday Xbox deals in 2024
In terms of Xbox consoles this Cyber Monday, you have more than ever to choose between. There's the new special edition Series X which comes with a 2TB SSD, but there's also the original version, and a sleek all-white model too. The Series S has three versions now too, including options with a 1TB SSD. Bundles have been lacking this year, and it remains to be seen if Xbox has an answer to Sony's PS5 Pro announcement. Regardless, we always see Xbox Series X and S discounts during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so if you're waiting to expand your console collection, it's worth waiting to see what discounts could be had.
Regardless of the consoles, Black Friday and Cyber Monday let you get the year's biggest games for a bit cheaper, provided they didn't release within a month or two of the event. We saw some promising game discounts during Prime Day in the summer this year, so if you're rocking a Series X that can take physical media, you might be in with some luck. Of course, the question on lots of minds will be about the $1 Game Pass trial we've seen return a few times this generation. To be honest, I have doubts about this being a Black Friday/Cyber Monday special this year, given the reports that Game Pass is struggling to make money at the moment. With Microsoft lagging so far behind Sony this generation, I think we might see a more limited Game Pass offering this deal season.
Which leaves accessories to discuss. Controller deals will definitely be a thing this Cyber Monday, and they'll be worth keeping an eye on if you want to grab a new spare or even a more competitive pro gamepad. We've had lots of great new controllers released for Xbox platforms this year. Combined with the pantheon of Xbox One and existing Series X and S controllers that we already know and love, there will be plenty of choice. Headsets and storage options will be up for grabs too, most likely at some of their best prices of the year. Then again, Black Friday may see better deals, and we'd recommend you watch out for those to make sure you don't miss out.
