Things are pretty dire in the world of Xbox Series X deals right now. This week, Microsoft increased the price of its Series X devices by $100, with the 2TB Galaxy edition up by $120. That means the console now costs a massive $599.99 for the full disc model.

These premiums have also hit the UK, though things aren't quite as heavy. The previously £479.99 Series X is now £499.99, which has had a small impact on renewed device prices.

I've scoured the web for all the biggest Xbox Series X deals actually available right now. While pickings are slim, you'll still save on renewed devices, with some game options available in the UK as well. Discounts aren't nearly as deep as they were over the holidays, but if you're hunting down some late offers there's still a few options out there.

Of course, there are always the best Xbox Series X accessories, which are on sale more frequently. There's nothing like a new controller, headset, or storage device to upgrade your existing console.

Save $65 - This is an older game, but you can still save $65 on EA Sports College Football 25 with this Xbox Series X bundle at Best Buy. You're only spending $5 more than the price of the console by itself here.

Xbox Series X | 24 months Game Pass Ultimate | $1,079.75 $899.99 at Best BuySave $180 -

Xbox Series X | 24 months Game Pass Ultimate | $1,079.75 $899.99 at Best Buy
Save $180 - This is actually a good deal, I know that's painful. Best Buy hasn't factored the Xbox Series X price increase into this $899.99 bundle (that rate has stayed the same for months now). That means the 24 months of Game Pass Ultimate ($479.76 by itself) would normally bring your total to $1,079.75.

The Xbox Series X price might make you wince, but the console's got one major advantage you may not have considered - backward compatibility for accessories and games.

After paying for a console, you'd normally have to factor in costs for games along with new controllers, subscriptions, and whatever extras the publishers are pushing. But with any Xbox Series X bundles, all of your existing Xbox One accessories and services are forwards compatible. That means your achievements, progression, controllers, memberships, and Xbox One headsets move forward to Series X. Many of the top audio-brands have contributed to our guide to the best Xbox Series X headsets as a result.

The console also lets you play older Xbox One games via both the optical disc drive and digital download, not to mention Game Pass. That allows you to save a couple of hundred dollars right off the bat - you don't need to buy specific 'next-gen' versions of a game, as they're usually the same.

How to save on the Xbox Series X price

The Xbox Series X price is still a hefty chunk of cash to spend. But you don't necessarily have to pay it off in one go. Enter Microsoft's fancy Xbox All Access system. This is a payment plan, and it allows you to get an Xbox Series X for a monthly fee spread over two years. It'll set you back $34.99 per month in the US, £28.99p/m in the UK, and $46p/m in Australia.

Interestingly, Xbox All Access doesn't just get you the console. It also offers 24 months of Game Pass Ultimate as well. Because Game Pass is a bit like Netflix for gaming (with well over 100 games and counting), that's a solid deal. Particularly due to the fact that new Xbox exclusive games like Halo will appear on Game Pass for free on the day of release.

Thanks to this, Xbox All Access might be one of the more sensible options when it comes to buying an Xbox Series X. Indeed, it saves you money in the long run. Sure, you're only getting a small amount knocked off the overall price, but it's still cheaper than buying the console and two years of Game Pass separately.

However, be advised that you won't find Xbox All Access in many stores besides Microsoft. GameStop and Walmart fill that role in the US, and Game or Smyths have the honor in the UK.
