The best Xbox Series X deals could get interesting in 2024. We saw deals and bundles go beyond our expectations at the tail end of 2023, with some lasting well after the Holiday season. With rumors of a console refresh coming later this year, could Microsoft be trying to get more hardware sold before the new stock arises? Or could these discounts be incentives for folks to go against the front-running PS5?

The developer-direct Xbox put on at the start of the year seems promising, and we finally have a release date for one of Xbox's most elusive games, Hellblade 2. With Indiana Jones pulling in a lot of attention as well, that points to some exciting bundles and deal opportunities to come this year. 

If you're in the US, rest assured, there are ways to save on your new console, through Xbox Series X deals on accessories, games, and services. Not only that, but All Access offerings can save you outright on your console, and Microsoft has started selling discounted renewed devices as well. That means there are plenty of offers out there for the discerning deal-hunter to enjoy. 

There are ways to save on your overall Xbox Series X experience - be it through deals on Xbox Series X accessories or Xbox Game Pass sales. You'll find all our top tips for making the most of these offers just below, as well as all the retailers you should be checking for stock.

Xbox Series X + Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 bundle | <a href="https://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=22479&awinaffid=103504&clickref=hawk-custom-tracking&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.currys.co.uk%2Fproducts%2Fmicrosoft-xbox-series-x-and-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-iii-bundle-10258118.html" data-link-merchant="currys.co.uk"" target="_blank">£529 at Currys
This Xbox Series X bundle gets you a lumped-in copy of the latest Call of Duty game with your purchase. Considering the game is full price (£70), this bundle doesn't really save you anything besides the hassle of buying the two separately, but keep an eye out for potential discounts soon.

This Xbox Series X deal gets you the standard 1TB console with a copy of the latest Fifa game (now called EA Sports FC). The 2023 installment of the game is still relatively new, so you're getting a decent deal here that saves you a bit of money if you were to buy the two separately.

What is the Xbox Series X price?

The official Xbox Series X price is $499 in the US and £449 in the UK. If you see a price higher than that without any extras, you are being overcharged and should avoid. Typically the inflated prices aren't subtle either, we're talking hundreds rather than tens extra. 

Some stores may take advantage in other ways by limited sellable stock to bundles, with extra games or headset. We've seen some with really naff hats and T-shirts too. Some stores might bump up the prices of these items, but one thing's for sure, you won't be saving a penny on the bundled items at this time.

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.

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.
