Below, we’re going to take you step by step so you can put together the perfect Xbox setup this holiday season.
Black Friday Xbox deals: Best deals
Best Black Friday Xbox console deals
Microsoft gives you a couple of options for gaming consoles. The entry-level option is the Xbox Series S, which doesn’t run games in 4K resolution and has no disc drive. But if you’re someone who uses Xbox Game Pass or only buys digital games, the Series S is a great option. If you want something more powerful, then the Xbox Series X is for you. This next-generation console does native 4K gaming and 4K upscaling with a maximum resolution of 8K. It’s truly the best Xbox ever and will be future-proof for years to come. Unfortunately, there are no discounts on the Series X right now, but at least it’s finally in stock.

Best Black Friday Xbox games deals
Okay, so you have a console and maybe an extra controller. Now you need some games to play. Black Friday is an excellent time to pick up some of the best Xbox Series X/S games, so make sure you grab some before they go back to full price. One of the best deals out there right now is Elden Ring for just $35 at Walmart (opens in new tab). We found Elden Ring to be a great game when we reviewed it, with deep demanding gameplay and robust character building. And while there are some great deals on first-party Microsoft Xbox games, don’t forget you can get those games included in Xbox Game Pass. So don’t take advantage of the (admittedly great) Halo Infinite deal below if you have Game Pass. You already have it.
