For the second year running, the Xbox Series S bundle is my pick for the best Black Friday deal you can get yourself tonight. Bundling in the console at a reduced rate alongside a 3-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’re getting access to hundreds of games and a fantastic little console to play them on for a rate that’s hard to argue against.
The Xbox Series S Starter Bundle is available today for only $249 (was $300) for $50 off equating to 17% knocked off the MSRP. It’s the lowest-ever price I’m able to verify on this bundle, and means you really get a value package of $349 for a full $100 off. That’s because a 3-month subscription to Game Pass Ultimate usually costs you $45 (working out to roughly $15 per month).
Xbox Series S Starter Bundle
I’ve had a lot of great things to say about the Xbox Series S over the years and that’s more true now at the end of 2023 than ever before. That’s because there’s a wealth of console exclusive games to check out include the sprawling sci-fi RPG Starfield, the high-flying Microsoft Flight Simulator, the swashbuckling Sea of Thieves, the vampire slaying of Redfall, and the thrilling racing action of Forza Motorsport (2023). What’s more, everything I’ve just mentioned is available to you on Xbox Game Pass which you’ll have access to until the end of February, plenty of time to play tons of titles without spending an extra penny.
I should stress that while the Xbox Series S isn’t technically as powerful as the Xbox Series X, the latter of which can do 4K120, you can still expect 60fps in 1440p. If you’re hooked up to one of the best gaming monitors, you’ll want the best framerates in a target resolution that doubles 1080p. Games will still look and run incredibly well for a price that’s hard to argue against. It’s not going to please those on the bleeding edge wanting cutting edge graphics and the highest framerates possible, but for everyone else, this is a Black Friday deal you shouldn’t pass up on.
We’re seeing some incredible Black Friday Xbox Series X deals for those wanting a little more power out of their consoles, and that includes the Black Friday video game deals, and the Black Friday Xbox controller deals for the full experience, too.
