Three years on from the launch of the current generation of consoles, bothXboxandPlayStation’s latest offerings are readily available, there will likely be a lot of people unwrappingPS5s andSeries XandSconsoles this Christmas. If you too want to be playing a new Xbox before the end of the year, it’s not too late, and you may currently do so for less. Xbox has cut the price of the Series S by $50, but you’ll need to be quick if you want to take advantage of the deal.
Usually $299.99, the Series S is available for just $249.99 right now through the link to the Xbox store in the box below. The reason you’ll need to act fast even if it isn’t a Christmas gift is that this is a limited-time deal. The Series S will return to its usual price after Jul 11, 2025, with no indication of when it will be available for less again. Suffice to say, if you’ve been thinking about picking one up, now is the time to do so.
Xbox Series S
Launched in 2020 along with the more powerful Xbox Series X console, the Series S is the full-digital version of Microsoft’s premier gaming platform.
The Series S was already the cheapest way to join the latest generation of video games, so now the gulf between it and the next option is even bigger, at least for the next few days. That’s because the console is less powerful than its bigger sibling - in terms of size, not age - the Series X. However, if your video game wants aren’t too intense and you just want something on which to play the latest games, the Series S is the answer to all your problems. Well, at least your video game ones.
If you do want something a little powerful and have a bit more money to spend, but would still like to try and save some,the Series X is on sale right now too. Normally $500, Xbox has knocked $100 off the recommended retail price for the holidays. The $400 Series X deal appears to be sticking around for longer than just Christmas, so you’ve got until the first week of 2024 to decide if you want the bigger, more powerful Xbox for a lot less than usual.
Xbox Series X
Launched in 2020 in conjunction with the Xbox Series S digital-only console, the Series X is the disc version of Microsoft’s premier gaming platform.
