Controllers, Headsets, and Storage

Editor's note: We've been seeing more reports that Xbox is beginning to block third-party controllers from working on Xbox consoles if they don't have official licensing. We'll only be recommending deals on licensed gamepads anyway, but it's worth keeping this in mind while you shop. To read more about the differences between official and unofficial accessories, and about how controllers get their official licensing, take a look at the linked feature.

Black Friday Xbox deals FAQs

When will Black Friday Xbox deals start?

Black Friday Xbox deals will land on November 24 this year, but considering we saw sales properly kick off a few days earlier last year (and in plenty of other years before that) we'd recommend readying the wallet from November 20 onwards. That's the start of Thanksgiving week and, while we generally see discounts tick up from October onwards, that's when we normally see the highest value savings hitting the shelves. 

Where to find the best Black Friday Xbox deals

We'll be rounding up all the best Black Friday Xbox deals right here when they land. However, if you're hunting alone you'll want to check out some tried and tested retailers that we've found to offer the biggest discounts in years gone by.

Black Friday Xbox deals: what to expect

We could well see some of the first major price drops on the Xbox Series X console over Black Friday 2023. Stock levels have been reliable for a long time now, and we even saw that RRP waver ever so slightly in the UK during last year's round of discounts. During 2023, we've seen a multitude of bundles on the console with games like Diablo IV lumped into the purchase. These have often offered the best value proposition, and some sales during Prime Day in the summer give us hope for things to come when we get to November.  

Of course, the Series S has seen plenty, and we mean plenty, of offers so far. The Game Pass machine now has a 1TB model in black, too, which means the original might be in for a supreme price battering - or so we hope. The Series S might allow gamers from other platforms to get into Game Pass on the cheap as a secondary console, and Black Friday price drops are probably the key to securing as many of these folks as possible. Should you buy an Xbox Series S on Black Friday? The bundles and offers we come across may just decide it for you.

The question on everyone's minds is probably about Starfield. If we're lucky, we might see some Starfield bundles - although, these might give way to a Game Pass discount, because the famous $1 trial ended (again) just before Bethesda's latest game released onto the service. Last year's Black Friday Xbox deals did see this trail get revived after a hibernation period, so let's all cross our fingers for that again in 2023. 

We are also looking forward to some excellent savings on controllers, headsets, and other accessories. If you're looking for something a little more expensive, we'd recommend checking out Black Friday Xbox Series X TV deals.

Most notably in the storage world, we've seen the arrival of a new competitor in 2023. After years of sole dominance, the Official Expansion Card from Seagate has been met with challenges from the WD Black C50. We hope that the two battle it out for best value this Black Friday, since Seagate even lowered the price of its 1TB card to meet the C50's lower launch cost.

What to expect from controllers in Black Friday Xbox deals

If you're after a new gamepad, then it might be worth holding out for Black Friday Xbox controller deals. We would recommend keeping a close eye on not only the Xbox Core controller but also Razer's line of Xbox-compatible models. The former is a sure bet for some discounts in this year's Black Friday Xbox deals, with the record-low $39 sales price returning in last year's holiday sales. 

In the Razer camp, however, the Wolverine V2 is lined up for some excellent discounts. 2022 saw the first-ever dip to below $80 here, with a $49.99 / £55 sale price back in March / August. Since then, costs have settled at around $69.99 / £69.99, but have been jumping up the full $99.99 / £99.99 every now and then.  

Similarly, the Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 has been taking far larger price cuts in recent months. Just like the Wolverine Ultimate, we haven't seen much deviation from MSRP on this premium gamepad since its launch. That $179.99 / £159.99 launch price dipped down to $146 in 2022, but we still have seen a lower cost than 2020's £126 rate in the UK. That, plus the fact that we've got the Core version on the shelves to compete, means we're looking forward to additional savings throughout this year, culminating in some new record low prices come November.

The budget brands have some excellent offerings too this year. PowerA, GameSir, and Turtle Beach all have options in the Xbox space, and all of them usually go on sale during events like Black Friday. If you're looking for cheap replacements or even your first pro controller with back buttons, keep an eye on these.

No matter what you shop for, just make sure you find something with official licensing. We've recently been seeing reports of non-licensed controllers finally being blocked by Xbox consoles.

Xbox Series S 1TB

Will there be Black Friday Xbox Series S deals?

The Xbox Series S led the charge in last year's Black Friday Xbox deals, with record low prices across the system taking us straight back to those glorious days of the dirt cheap Xbox One S. That trend is likely to continue in 2023, with discounts taking us back to the same $219 - $249 / £189 position sporadically throughout the year, and returning in November as well. We could see those costs dip down to $199 in the US if the holiday period is going particularly well, but we're not expecting much more off over in the UK. 

How to get the best Black Friday Xbox deals

Black Friday Xbox deals can move quickly, especially if they're on the latest games or high flying accessories. That's why it pays to have a game plan going into the event. We've been tracking Black Friday for years now, and while Xbox Series X is still fairly new to the event, we've got some tips and tricks that will see you safely to checkout. 

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.

2. Stick around
Once you've found your perfect price, it's worth keeping a close eye on the rest of the weekend's offers. Retailers sometimes discount certain colorways or games even further over Cyber Monday, if they aren't performing as well. Keep your original purchase boxed and you might be able to get a better price later on.

3. Learn what a good deal looks like
If you've already got a handful of products on your shopping list, it's time to start tracking their prices. We'd recommend keeping a close eye on the accessories or games you're looking for over the next couple of months, and take note of any significant price drops. 

Not only will you know what a good deal looks like on the day, but some products may, in fact, see record low prices that are worth grabbing before Black Friday Xbox Series X deals even begin. 

4. Stay in touch
We'll be rounding up all the very best Black Friday Xbox deals right here, which means you can bookmark this page and come back on the day for a curated roundup of the biggest offers available. 

If you're on the other side of the battlefield, we're also rounding up everything we expect to see from Black Friday PS5 deals. Or, if you're staying out of the argument all together, we're also predicting the biggest offers in 2023's Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals. It's also worth getting your eye in for Black Friday gaming headset deals to truly make the most of your new console. You'll also find plenty of Black Friday video game deals on the horizon as well.

Besides that, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel and Podcast for the last 7 years. It’s been a long road, but all that experience somehow landed me a dream job covering gaming hardware. I’m a self-confessing PlayStation fanboy, but my experience covering the larger business and developer side of the whole industry has given me a strong knowledge of all platforms. When I’m not testing out every peripheral I can get my hands on, I’m probably either playing tennis or dissecting game design for an upcoming video essay. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.
