The best Xbox Series X bundle deals

After various price increases, you're justified in looking for the best Xbox Series X bundle deals, to help you pick up a new console at a reasonable price. Given that the latest hike sees the base Series X cost $649.99, after it launched at $499.99, bundles and reals are the way to go!

Microsoft's Xbox price rises aren't exclusive to the US, with the UK seeing minor increases too, but you don't need to worry about that. Bundles are a way to save, collecting a console and a game, memory card or subscription service for a lower price than they'd individually be. Or, you can hope for deals which temporarily reduce the asking price, although they're rarer on Xboxes.

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. Discounts aren't nearly as deep as they were before those increases 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.

Xbox Series X | £499.99 £479.99 at Amazon
Save £20 - Amazon hasn't quite brought the Xbox Series X up to its new RRP this week, dropping £20 from the £499.99 starting price. That's a solid saving, and considering bundles are still slightly more expensive it's the best way to secure a new console this week.

Xbox Series X deals on accessories

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.

We've gathered the best Xbox Series X deals on games and accessories below. Check them out if you want a discount!

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.
