Black Friday deals aren't over yet, with heavy discounts across retailers on products that are still in stock. Whether you want to upgrade you console's SSD, pickup a new controller, or grab discounted accessories, you'll be able to find what you need for a steal.

Black Friday is always a great time to find deals on an Xbox Series X |S console thanks to Microsoft announcing a temporary Xbox Series S price cut for the shopping season. You can also get some great deals on a new Xbox controller, and even an Xbox Game Pass subscription. We're seeing retailers slashing prices across regions and even though the day itself has come and gone, you can still bag some great deals as we head into the weekend and towards Cyber Monday.

There's also savings to be had on Black Friday Xbox Seagate SSD deals to make room for all of the games in the sale right now. We've also rounded up the best Black Friday gaming deals for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, as well as Black Friday Nintendo deals – so whatever platform you're on, we've got you covered.

Black Friday Xbox deals

Xbox Series S | Was £249.99 now £189.99 at Smyths – Smyths still has the Xbox Series S in stock and at the reduced price. Amazon has already sold out, so act fast while stocks last!
Xbox Series X | Was £449.99 now £429.99 at Very – This isn't a massive discount but between stock issues and rare discounts on the Xbox Series X, and stock selling fast, we recommend you snap up a Series X at Very while you can.
Xbox Wireless Controller | Was £54.99 now £34.99 at Amazon – Amazon is taking Microsoft's discounts and doing one better, by knocking an extra few pounds off the price of the Xbox Wireless Controller. This applies to a range of colours including so you can add a splash of colour to your setup for a big discount right now.
Halo Infinite | Was £54.99 now £14.99 at Amazon – Halo Infinite is included in the extensive list of titles that Microsoft has reduced for the holiday. But the price on its storefront has been beaten by Amazon again. It's £10 cheaper!
512GB Xbox Seagate Storage Expansion Card | Was £124.99 now £99.99 at Very – Surprisingly, this is still in stock at Very! You can save £25 on the storage card, which the retailer is already selling for under the RRP outside of the sale.
1TB Xbox Seagate Storage Expansion Card | Was £199 now 184.99 at Very – The 1TB is our top pick out of the three available SDD options, and Very is offering £14.01 off for Black Friday. Again, it's regular price is lower at Very than the RRP so this is a steal.

2TB Xbox Seagate Storage Expansion Card | Was £474.99 now £360.94 at Amazon – While 2TB is more of a long-term investment for your SSD upgrade, this is a pretty good deal! You're getting 30% off which translates to a £114.05 saving.
2TB Xbox Seagate Storage Expansion Card | Was £409.99 now £384.99 at Very – Very has knocked down the price of the roomy 2TB variant SSD as well.

But if stock runs dry at Amazon, you can turn to Very for a backup option.

Xbox Series S | Was $299 now $239.99 at Microsoft Store – As Microsoft announced last week, the price of the Xbox Series S has been dropped for Black Friday. But the Xbox manufacturer has knocked another $10 off so get it at its lowest price ever while you can!

PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller (Pink Lemonade) | Was AU$69 now AU$55 at JB Hi-Fi – This stunning controller is AU$14 off along with the Royal Purple, and Cotton Candy colourways. But Pink Lemonade is my favourite.

When will the best Black Friday Xbox start?

This year's Black Friday deals started a week or two before the say day itself which fell on November 25. We've seen some deals and discounts on consoles, games, and accessories and they're still going strong, even if they're not quite as generous.

We expect to see more reductions over the weekend and as we head into Cyber Monday both online and at brick-and-mortar retailers. So we'll continue to scour the corners of the internet for the best offers available.

Where will the best Black Friday Xbox deals be?

There are a number of retailers who always come through with some fantastic Black Friday discounts on games and hardware. We'll highlight our top picks of deals throughout the week, but you can always check out the store pages yourself below.

Black Friday Xbox deals expectations

The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles are still fairly on in their lifecycle, with just two years on the market, so we don't expect to see massive discounts on the hardware. But, there may be some discounts on refurbished units, so there's still a good chance to pick up a bargain, as they often come with decent warranty periods.

There's also the Xbox Series X restock issues to take into account. Talking to The Verge this month, Xbox boss Phil Spencer says the console "will be difficult to find, especially through the holiday, but I feel good about S." The all-digital Xbox Series S might be less powerful than it's big brother, but it's cheaper price point makes it an attractive option. And it's often bundled with games, peripherals, and Xbox Game Pass, so you might want to consider it if power isn't a crucial factor for you.

Another must-have product to keep an eye out for is the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S. It's a pricey addition to your setup, but gives you an extra 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB storage. And installation couldn't be simpler – you just plug it into the back of your Xbox console with a cable, and that's it.

We expect the best discounts to be on peripherals, particularly Xbox headsets, as some of the most popular models have been out for a while, and there are likely to be some bargains. That goes for first-party and third-party peripherals.

There could also be some great software deals, with games hitting record-low prices last year, we expect to see a similar trend this year. Some incredible games could be available at a discounted price on Black Friday 2022, including Elden Ring, Gotham Knights, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Dying Light 2. But, just how much of a discount there'll be, we're not sure.

Last year's Black Friday Xbox deals

We saw some of the lowest-ever prices on a rage of products, from games and software to hardware like controllers and headsets. If you've not played some of the best Xbox games from last year, expect to see even deeper discounts this year. The same goes for hardware – older models will be cheaper as they're a year older and are getting replaced with shinier, newer iterations.

We also saw Black Friday Xbox Game Pass deals, as well as the Xbox Series S bundled with the subscription service, as well as a selection of games.

We'll be highlighting and updating all of the best Black Friday deals right here in the run up to event, as well on the day itself. Instead of searching from site to site, you can come here as we'll be posting the best deals so you know you're getting the best price.
