Black Friday Xbox deals 2024: The best offers available now

Xbox Series S 1TB Robot White | $348 at Walmart
The new 1TB variant of the Xbox Series S has just launched, and although this isn't a "deal", it could save you money compared to buying the regular console and an expansion card to make up the storage discrepancy.

Buy it if:

✅ You want an affordable console
✅ You'd like more storage than a Series S typically provides
✅ You want to play Game Pass games

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want to play physical games

Price check: Check stock at Amazon

UK: £299.99 at Amazon

Xbox Series X | $499 $449.99 at Best Buy
Save $50 - This is a sweet early deal for anyone who wants the regular flavor Xbox Series X this Black Friday. A $50 discount is generous for the flagship console - perhaps it's arrived early because there's nothing directly competing with the PS5 Pro.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a Series X
✅ You only need 1TB of space
✅ You want a Blu-Ray drive

Don't buy it if:

❌ You'd rather have the special edition 2TB model

Price check: $448 at Walmart

Xbox Series X Digital Edition + Extra Controller | $507 $489 at Walmart
Save $18 - With the Xbox core controller priced at $59.99, and the brand-new digital edition of the Series X priced at $448, you make a reasonable $18 saving on this bundle. That may not seem like a lot, but remember this version of the Series X only launched this time last month.

Buy it if:

✅ You play your games digitally
✅ You want a spare controller
✅ You want a brand new Xbox model for less

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want to play physical games
❌ You want more storage space

Xbox Series X 2TB Special Edition | $599 at Best Buy
Similarly, the 2TB Special Edition Xbox Series X is newly available. Not only is the design of this console packed with more flourish, but the controller has the same visual flair. Again, this isn't a deal, but you do save money compared to if you were buying one of the official expansion cards at the same time as a regular console.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a Series X
✅ 2TB of space sounds appealing
✅ You like the look of the console

Don't buy it if:

❌ You don't want to play physical media

1. Know when to buy
You have probably seen offers branded as Black Friday Xbox deals landing from as early as October, however it can pay to wait until at least the start of Thanksgiving before making the leap. That's when we start to see retailers offering larger discounts, with the truly blockbuster offers landing on the Friday itself.

However, it's worth noting that these deals will run out of stock a little quicker - and there's no guarantee that a lower price will be available. If you don't want to fight for it, we'd recommend picking up a good price any time in late November.

2. Stick around
Once you've found your perfect price, it's worth keeping a close eye on the rest of the weekend's offers. Retailers sometimes discount certain colorways or games even further over Cyber Monday, if they aren't performing as well. Keep your original purchase boxed and you might be able to get a better price later on.

3. Stay in touch
We'll be rounding up all the very best Black Friday Xbox deals right here, which means you can bookmark this page and come back on the day for a curated roundup of the biggest offers available.

4. Learn what a good deal looks like
If you've already got a handful of products on your shopping list, it's time to start tracking their prices. We'd recommend keeping a close eye on the accessories or games you're looking for over the next couple of months, and take note of any significant price drops.

Not only will you know what a good deal looks like on the day, but some products may, in fact, see record low prices that are worth grabbing before Black Friday Xbox Series X deals even begin.
