Black Friday: Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S Deals

There’s never been a better time to jump into current-gen gaming, and if you’re in the market for a new Xbox Series console, you can save a bundle on new console… bundles… at Walmart and other retailers! One of the very top offers is the Xbox Series S Black Friday deal — as this bundle is now only $234.99 at Dell. This is a 22% discount from the standard price, and even packs in three months of Game Pass Ultimate at no extra cost — which is an additional $50 in savings as well. This is our favorite deal in the sale for Xbox.

For those after an Xbox Series X Black Friday deal, you also won’t be disapointed. Walmart is coming up with the goods and has the Xbox Series X Diablo 4 bundle for just $439 right now. There’s also the Diablo 4 + Modern Warfare 3 bundle for $489 — another example of some serious savings to be had this Black Friday. Finally, if you’re a Best Buy Plus/ Total member you can currently also get a Series X for $399.99 + a Best Buy $50 Gift Card.

Black Friday: Xbox Controller Deals

Xbox Controllers have managed to score a huge discount for Black Friday, with up to $30 off the colorful gamepads over the next week or so. While the initial discount was seemingly looking disapointing ($10 off), online retailers have come through and put out some especially top deals for the Xbox controllers.

The cheapest controller you can get right now is for $39.99 at Best Buy (see here), and its the Stellar Shift Special Edition with an MSRP of $69.99. This is such a good deal, we’d be surprised if it actually lasts until Black Friday this week. All other controllers have dropped to somewhere between $40-45, which is a decent $20-$30 off the standard Xbox controller and a reasonable deal for Black Friday. Plus, this includes some of the newer color variations as well like the Astral Purple design.

Best Xbox Game Pass Deals for Black Friday

We all heard about the Xbox Game Pass price hike that Microsoft implemented recently. A month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate now costs $16.99, a hefty fee. But, if you weren’t aware, you can actually still circumvent this change by buying Game Pass codes from retailers like Amazon who haven’t yet increased their prices to reflect the change. Paying $44.99 isn’t a huge discount versus the $50.97 Microsoft charges, but it’s not nothing. Also, it’s very possible the price drops lower at some point during Black Friday.

Black Friday: Xbox Accessory Deals

Games are huge these days, so if you’re running low on storage on your Xbox Series X or S, you’re far from alone. Xbox expansion cards are essentially NVME SSDs encased in a specialized Xbox-compatible shell. Unlike the more complex PS5 SSD installation process, which involves opening up the PS5 to access the SSD slot, the Seagate expansion card simply plugs into its dedicated port on the back of the Xbox. With this deal, you can add 1TB of storage that acts just like regular internal storage, for cheaper than normal.

NZXT’s Black Friday sale cuts up to 50% off their hot-swappable Function keyboards

I really liked the NZXT Function keyboards when they launched last year, and I still do today: all three are cleanly-designed and responsive gaming keyboards, and their hot-swappable mechanical switches make it a doddle to customise the under-the-finger feel. And speaking of today, it happens to be Black Friday, so we can add “up to 50% off” to their list of qualities.

Ubisoft Insists Assassin’s Creed In-Game Black Friday Ads Were a ‘Technical Error’

Some Assassin’s Creed players encountered in-game advertisements for Ubisoft’s Black Friday sales while playing older Assassin’s Creed games earlier this week, but Ubisoft claims this wasn’t intentional.

Reddit user triddell24 posted a video of the advert, which was shared by Fab on X/Twitter, below. It shows the player attempting to open the map in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey before the screen fills with an for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which is 20% off in the Black Friday sales.

“Take advantage of 20% off on the latest game in the series,” it reads, giving the player the option to either close the advert or “buy now”, which presumably opens a link to the console’s store.

Il semble qu’Ubisoft expérimente la publicité en jeu chez certains utilisateurs (Xbox et PS).

Vous êtes au milieu de votre jeu, accédez à la pause ou à la Map et vous avez pendant 3sec. une pub pour un autre jeu qui s’affiche. Suffisant pour désinstaller ? 😅 pic.twitter.com/m5S4rEXas5

Ubisoft has denied this was an intentional ploy to sell copies of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, however, saying instead users were served these ads accidentally as “the result of a technical error”.

“We have been made aware that some players encountered pop-up ads while playing certain Assassin’s Creed titles yesterday,” a Ubisoft spokesperson told IGN. “This was the result of a technical error that we addressed as soon as we learned of the issue.” The developer didn’t explain how the technical error occurred.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage launched October 5 as a smaller-scale entry that returns players to the series’ roots through slower-paced, stealth-based gameplay, veering away from the role-playing game foundations of Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla (and potentially the next game, Assassin’s Creed Red, which recently spouted a fresh leak).

Its map isn’t anywhere near the size of those of its predecessors for one, and it only takes around 20 to 30 hours to complete compared to the several dozens of hours of previous games.

In our 8/10 review, IGN said: “Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s back-to-basics approach is a successful first step in returning to the stealthy style that launched this series.”

Go ultrawide on a budget with £170 / $150 off the HP Omen 34c monitor this Black Friday

Ultrawide gaming monitors are good for two things: juggling the exploded mosaic of Chrome windows that it takes to be a hardware editor on Black Friday, and making your games look cooler. I’m too busy with the first to do much of the second right now, but you can get into ultrawide gaming for a relative pittance thanks to these Black Friday deals on the HP Omen 34c.
