To all the deal-hunting gamers out there; this is your regular reminder that Black Friday Xbox deals are right around the corner, officially kicking off on November 29.
If you’re browsing Xbox’s current-generation lineup for the first time, now is a fantastic period in which to do so. Not only are the base Xbox Series X|S consoles likely to receive price drops (as evidenced by previous Black Friday events), but we also have two new additions to the lineup in the Xbox Series X Digital Edition and Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition. These two may be featured in some new value-packed bundles over the Holidays, so certainly worth keeping an eye on.
Consoles aside, first-party Xbox kit and third-party ‘Designed for Xbox’ hardware typically represent some of the bestBlack Friday dealsacross most big box retailers. And we can also expect those same big box retailers to start going big with deals from, well now, really too (November 1). Look out for early deals and price guarantees to give you confidence in committing early.

Black Friday Xbox deals: FAQs
When do Black Friday Xbox deals start in 2024?
Black Friday Xbox deals officially begin on November 29. There is a catch, however; most retailers like to begin their Black Friday sales up to a week ahead of time. As a result, you can expect outlets like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Argos, and Currys to kick off their respective sales as early as Monday, November 25, or perhaps even the weekend before.

What kind of Black Friday Xbox deals should I expect?
Black Friday is one of the few times in the year that we see some actual, honest-to-goodness discounts on Xbox console bundles. Furthermore, you can expect discounts on a wide range of Xbox controllers, gaming headsets, storage cards, and other popular accessories.
The most common and readily available discount will undoubtedly be for the Xbox Wireless Controller and its countless colorway options. And when it comes to headsets, the likes of Turtle Beach, Razer, SteelSeries, and more will absolutely come bearing savings.
Also, keep an eye out for discounts on the Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card as well as the WD Black C50. These are the two main internal SSD offerings on Xbox and routinely see superb discounts over the Black Friday sales period. If you’re looking to add more storage to your console for less, this will be the time to do so.
