Best Xbox Deals for Black Friday and the 2025 Holidays
Xbox Series X|S Console Deals
Unfortunately, if you are looking to pick up an Xbox Series X or S console this holiday season, you won’t find any luck getting a traditional discount from the official Microsoft store. All available systems are still their full retail price if you want one. The only way to save on a new console is by trading in an eligible system for up to $130 off the purchase of a new Xbox console.
Xbox Game Pass Deals
If you’re looking to finally join Xbox Game Pass, there really isn’t a discount on a long-term subscription, either. Instead, Xbox is offering 14 days for $1 either Xbox Game Pass Essential or Xbox Game Pass Premium. After that period ends, however, it will go up to $9.99 and $14.99 per month, respectively.
Xbox Accessories
Where Microsoft really starts pushing its sales this year are with accessories like controllers and headsets. This year, Microsoft is offering up to nearly 40% off on a variety of Xbox controllers and up to 20% on headsets. You can check out some of the better deals available, below.
