Black Friday Xbox deals are over for another year, but some savings are still holding on. If you missed out on deals on games, controllers, and even some storage options for your Xbox Series X/S last week, there's still a chance to grab some savings.

If you're looking for discounts on an actual console, your best bet right now is looking at second-hand, refurbished, and open box options, as Xbox Series X and S bundle discounts were non-existent during this year's sales. In fact, with Xbox raising prices on hardware twice in 2025, it's a straight-up rough time for Xbox console shoppers generally. That said, it's still a great time to pick up Xbox games, controllers, and accessories, as there are still some remaining bargains to be found.

UK:

Games: starting from £9.99
Consoles: starting from £289
Controllers: official gamepads starting from $21.24
Headsets: starting from £19.98
Gaming chairs: starting from £105.99
Monitors: starting from £72.18
Storage: 17% off 1TB Expansion Card
Thumb sticks: starting from £13.05

Black Friday Xbox Deals - What to expect

Black Friday Xbox deals in 2025 are hard to predict, namely, as there haven't been any big hardware released since last year's big sales event. In 2024, we did see the release of new versions of the Xbox Series X and S consoles, which brought with them some well-needed storage upgrades. If you had been putting off picking up an Xbox console, I'd typically recommend those as the ones to keep an eye out for when November rolls around. However, the second wave of Xbox hardware price increases has made the Series X/S more inaccessible than ever before, so it's likely any console or bundle deals that appear this Black Friday will actually be closer to their past prices, which is a bit of a bummer to say the least.

If you already own a Series X/S console, keeping an eye on the best Xbox Series X accessory deals is a better idea. This Black Friday, I expect to see the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless receive record new lows. Last year, our favorite gaming headset dropped down to $279.99 during Black Friday, a big difference from its $349 / £329 MSRP. It was still higher than its record-low of $249.99, but 2025 could be the year it returns to its lowest-ever price so far. Xbox headsets like the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 only launched this year, and have already seen discounts of up to $30 at retailers like Amazon. If it's regularly seeing discounts throughout the year, it's bound to see further savings when November rolls around - which is great news if you play Xbox consoles, and the PC and PS5.

With Game Pass reaching record subscription numbers in 2025, this November will hopefully follow suit from 2024 and be another ideal time to grab some of the best Game Pass deals. Of course, if you prefer boosting your physical game collection, then there will still be deals on the best Xbox games too. Last year we saw record lows for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Sonic x Shadow Generations. As is typical with physical Xbox games every Black Friday, savings across 2024 games will re-appear, and if we're lucky, we could see price drops on some big 2025 releases, like Doom The Dark Ages, Monster Hunter Wilds and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

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.
