Best Prime Day Xbox accessory deals
In the past, Prime Day has cut prices across all types of Xbox One hardware, so whether you're looking to expand your storage, charge your controllers, or improve your game, you should be able to find an excellent deal to help out. Best of all, all existing Xbox One accessories work great with Xbox Series X and Series S if you're looking to upgrade eventually. We've rounded up the best Xbox accessories deals to consider today and we'll be adding even more as Prime Day draws closer.
Razer Kishi Controller (Android) | $25 off at Amazon
Razer Kishi transforms your smartphone into a Nintendo Switch-style Xbox handheld, mirroring the Xbox controller layout, with considerations for comfort and portability. The Android version has been discounted to its lowest-ever price and doubles as an ideal Xbox Cloud Gaming companion.
Hori Xbox Series X|S Charging Station | $11 off at Amazon
This dual charger makes it easy to juice up your Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S controllers through an entirely wireless, hassle-free solution. It's designed for two of the latest Xbox controllers, with up to 20 hours per charge. However, it won't work on old Xbox One gamepads.
Hyperkin Kinect Adapter for Xbox One | $13 off at Amazon
While Xbox One S and Xbox One X ditched the integrated Kinect port, Microsoft's motion controller still works with a dedicated adapter. This licensed converter makes using Kinect simple on newer Xbox One models, although it's not compatible with Xbox Series X|S consoles.
WD_Black P10 Game Drive for Xbox | $5 off at Microsoft
This 1TB Western Digital hard drive triples the available storage on entry-level Xbox One consoles, even doubling that on Xbox Series X. This P10 series hooks up over USB, ideal for offloading your spare games, presented with sleek, all-black industrial casing and Xbox branding.
Razer Wolverine Tournament Edition Xbox One Controller | $20 off at Amazon
This crazy Xbox One controller provides one of the best alternatives to Microsoft's Elite controller, featuring four remappable buttons and extra triggers, detachable braided cable, and custom RGB lighting via a dedicated Xbox app.
Elgato Cam Link 4K | $30 off at Amazon
The Elgato Cam Link 4K is best suited for the streamers, allowing you to hook up DSLRs, camcorders, and other devices directly to your streaming setup. This device can deliver a massive upgrade over a standard PC webcam, supporting 4K resolution at 30Hz or upgraded to 60Hz at 1080p.
Note that all the best Xbox One accessories also work on next-gen Xbox Series X and Series S, unless they require Kinect or an IR Blaster. That comes from Microsoft's commitment to backward compatibility, extending to headsets, chargers, storage, and more.
Best Prime Day Xbox headset deals
Prime Day is bringing discounts across various Xbox One headsets, all with guaranteed compatibility extending to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. The available savings vary between manufacturers, with the added choice of wired versus wireless, or specific features. But whether a budget-conscious buyer or an enthusiast demanding the best, many top names have headsets suited to you. We've rounded up the best Prime Day gaming headset deals and those prices you shouldn't ignore.
HyperX CloudX Flight Headset | $30 off at Microsoft
This wireless headset joins the few Xbox headsets discounted ahead of Prime Day, ideal for those looking to cut the cable. The HyperX CloudX Flight nails its audio quality, comfort, and on-ear chat and game mixing, lasting up to 30 hours with each charge. One of the best wireless options out there without a crazy premium price tag.
$120 at Microsoft $130 at Amazon
HyperX CloudX Stinger Core | $10 off at Amazon
HyperX is one to watch for budget-friendly headsets, and Prime Day savings on its HyperX CloudX Stinger Core nails all the essentials for less. Its 40mm directional drivers provide quality stereo audio in line with the price, with an adjustable steel slider and foam ear cups for added comfort. It also packs in-line volume and microphone control, with an easy 3.5mm jack that connects to all new Xbox controllers.
Razer Kraken X Ultralight | $10 off at Amazon
As budget headsets go, you could do far, far worse than the Kraken Ultralight. Razer managed to bake some serious quality into this headset, which is now $10 off in advance of Prime Day.
With Prime Day set to bring discounts to some of the best Xbox headsets, it's essential to choose the product with the features suited to you. Quick research never hurts before checkout, and it's best to consider what you need from a headset and how it fits into your gaming setup.
The crucial decision comes from wired versus wireless, with each bearing unique benefits and disadvantages. Wireless provides added versatility, and while the technology is now better than ever, you'll still need to recharge your headset regularly. Wired introduces a physical tether to consider, but the promise of simple, high-quality audio and a lower price tempts many. The sound quality, cost, and other attributes should all be considered — and with Prime Day, a good deal never hurts, too.
Microsoft has also committed to supporting all Xbox One headsets on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, making it safe to invest despite the upcoming cross-generation transition. You can check out with confidence, ensuring a purchase lasting for years to come.
Best Prime Day Xbox video game deals
Some Xbox One games see hefty price reductions through the Prime Day window, ideal for those titles you may have missed from past months. Those savings will best serve those who favor physical, disc-based games, although select digital download codes may also receive cuts. While we continue to round up the best Prime Day video game deals, many of our Xbox One highlights feature below.
Resident Evil Village | $10 off at Amazon
Savings on Resident Evil Village discount one of the best Xbox games of the year, pushing forward the survival horror genre, and looking stunning in the process. This version works on Xbox One, with a seamless Xbox Series X|S upgrade, and new DLC expected over the coming weeks.
Biomutant | $10 off at Amazon
Biomutant saw mixed reviews at launch for a small team delivering upon a unique premise but missing the mark with various gameplay pitfalls. But whether you're drawn to its kung-fu combat, or a vibrant post-apocalyptic world worthy of exploration, you can already save on one of the latest Xbox releases.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War cross-gen (digital code) | $25 off at Best Buy
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War delivers a trifecta of shooter action, whether the single-player campaign, ruthless multiplayer or action-packed zombies mode — also feeding into the hit Warzone battle royale. You can save on its cross-gen bundle, Xbox One and Series X|S versions included, with a digital code to redeem on your console.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege | $14 at Best Buy
Rainbow Six Siege carved its spot in the multiplayer shooter space, with tense tactical combat, supported by its rich lineup of Operators and gadgets. The game's success had continued over half a decade later, drawing millions of players, with quarter seasonal updates packed with free content.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla (Xbox One) | $30 off at Amazon
Ubisoft's world of assassination makes its return with a Viking journey touching Norway and Britain's Dark Ages. Brutal combat and large-scale conflict take the stage, and now you can save half off its original price at Amazon.
New video game deals will continue to arise and disappear throughout Prime Day, with some of the best Xbox One games even expected to see a discount. With physical games often cheaper than their digital counterparts, further savings can be hard to overlook.
Some existing Xbox One games will also be among the list of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S Optimized games, with many already pledging free upgrades. However, Xbox One games will also remain playable into the next generation, alongside Xbox 360 and original Xbox, via backward compatibility.
Best Prime Day Xbox One console deals
A range of factors, including the pandemic and the recent release of the Xbox Series X|S consoles, have made it difficult to find an Xbox in brand-new condition anywhere. For Prime Day 2020, we didn't see any discounts on Xbox consoles and it's very possible Prime Day 2021 will be the same. However, we do know of a few deals you can grab already on refurbished consoles, and we'll be sure to update this roundup with more Xbox deals as they appear.
Xbox One 500GB console | $239.99 at GameStop
The standard Xbox One console is now in stock at GameStop for a limited time in pre-owned condition. This is one of the most affordable ways to get your hands on an Xbox One right now, though it likely won't last long.
Xbox One S (refurbished) | $299.99 at GameStop
Click "Refurbished" on GameStop's product page to score the 1TB Xbox One S for just $299. The Xbox One S serves as an ideal entry-level console, supporting the full Xbox One catalog, with an included 4K Blu-ray drive, making this a versatile (and affordable) entertainment hub.
Xbox One X 1TB console | $389.99 at GameStop
Save $10 off the Xbox One X's regular price when you pick up a refurbished console today at GameStop. Considering it's hard to find this console in stock in any condition, you won't want to pass up this offer if you've been waiting for one at a great price.
Xbox One X Blast from the Past bundle | $449.99 at GameStop
Pick up the refurbished Xbox One X 1TB console along with four pre-owned games at a $55 discount today! You'll receive the console and an Xbox Wireless Controller, along with the games Forza Horizon 3, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and Battlefield V.
Despite the next-generation devices now on the market, Xbox One demand has remained consistently high throughout the past year during an era of social distancing. That means that while we continue to round up the best Xbox One deals and discounts, the stock isn't as easy to come by, compared to the end of the Xbox 360's reign.
And while Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are now available for purchase, stock disappears from most retailers within minutes or a few hours at most. With the next generation still difficult to find even at regular price, don't expect to see discounts on either console during Prime Day 2021.
