Important takeaways

  • The Xbox Black Friday sale has up to 60% off digital games and $10-$50 off controllers and consoles.
  • Black Friday deals are exclusive to US customers, with free returns until January 31, 2025.



Microsoft pulled back the curtain on its 2024 Black Friday deals, with discounts now available on Xbox consoles, controllers and over a thousand console and PC games. In addition to slashing prices on various Xbox games during Black Friday, hardware discounts will range from $10 off the Xbox Wireless Controller range to $50 off a new Xbox Series X console.

Sales began almost a month after Xbox launched three different consoles ahead of Christmas shopping. Along with doubling the storage of the Xbox Series S from 512GB to 1TB, Microsoft introduced two new Xbox Series X devices; 1TB All-Digital Edition and 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition. While none of these consoles are intended to compete with Sony's PS5 Pro, the range of available Xbox Series X/S consoles grew to five when counting the original 1TB Series X and 512GB Series S units. Although Microsoft's current console line-up has struggled with sales numbers, it remains to be seen whether Christmas sales will change that.
