Black Friday Xbox Series X deals: Storage
You might have noticed your Xbox Series X or Series S really gobbles up storage capacity, especially if you're signed up to Game Pass and have been busy packing your console with loads of top titles. It's time to upgrade your capacity then. Important note though, as far as playing Series X|S title on external drives goes, the Seagate memory card expansion is your only option. Other external devices, be they SSD or regular hard drive will only let you store these new-gen games, but you can play Xbox games from them directly. That Seagate card isn't cheap though, although Black Friday is the perfect time to get a better deal.
Black Friday Xbox Series X deals: Headsets
You can be assured that the Black Friday Xbox deals will see plenty of the best Xbox Series X headsets get some chunky discounts. And don't forget, gaming headsets aren't just for online multiplayer coms, they can add truly immersive 3D audio and surround sound to make your single-player games sound better than ever. They're much cheaper than a surround sound system or soundbar too and really help you enjoy your games more if your TV's speakers are a bit weak. Check out the latest prices on some of our favorite headsets below.
Black Friday Xbox Series X deals: Controllers
Microsoft has released plenty of new colors for its standard Series X|S controller since launch, so you have a rich selection to choose from right now. We've seen regular discounts on them too, so you should never pay full price. We've included the latest prices below for various colors and also the super fancy Elite Series 2 model. There are some solid third-party options in there too from Razer and Turtle Beach.
Black Friday Xbox Series X deals: TV
If it's been a while since you last upgraded your TV, owning a new Xbox is certainly a good excuse to take a look at what's out there. This is the best time of year by far to pick up a new TV, including ones with next-gen gaming features. Be on the lookout for models with HDMI 2.1 and 120Hz displays especially as supported games look super smooth running at 120fps. Samsung and LG have made some of the best TVs for Xbox Series X in recent times and we've highlighted their latest prices below on some of our favorite units.
Black Friday Xbox Series X deals: Game Pass
Game Pass has absolutely nailed it this year with non-stop updates bringing fresh games to the Netflix for games-esque subscription service almost every week. We've seen some seriously big hitters lately too with Microsoft Flight Simulator, Marvel's Avengers, and Forza Horizon 5 saving us lots of money. You can buy Game Pass on its own, but the best value option is to pick it up in a Game Pass Ultimate bundle as this includes Xbox Live Gold so you can play games online. Subscriptions stack too, so even if you're currently signed up you can add more months to your deal if you spot an offer you like.
When do the Black Friday Xbox Series X deals start?
The Black Friday Xbox Series X deals have already started at some retailers, but the day itself is November 26. However, you can expect some of the tastiest deals to really get going the Monday before as retailers attempt to get a head start on each other.
Given the stock shortages and various issues with shipping happening around the world right now, we'd pounce on any deal you like even if it's before then as it might end up being the best price you'll see for the rest of the year.
