Flagship sales events like Prime Day are the perfect time to pick up a new gaming console as current-gen hardware is often discounted.
While we’re still waiting for savings on the PS5 Slim, the Xbox Series X is already reduced, plus now's a good time to buy Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at a reduced price to get access to loads of games to play on your new Xbox.
For a limited time, the excellent Xbox Series X is just $449 at Amazon. That’s a respectable $50 saving compared to the $499 list price, although we have seen better Xbox Series X sales in the past. and the best price we've yet found on a new Xbox Series X over Prime Day.
Almost four years since launch and the Xbox Series X remains a fantastic gaming machine. Its raw specs remain impressive, its zippy SSD makes long-loading screens a thing of the past, and its controller is a favorite among gamers for a reason. Plus, its no-frills design doesn’t stick out in an entertainment center compared to the garnish-looking PS5.
The list of the best Xbox Series X games has grown considerably over the past few years. The console has access to all the biggest third-party hits like Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3, alongside a stable of first-party titles such as Starfield and Forza Horizon 5. Plus, it’s set to be a big fall for Xbox Game Studios with the release of Avowed and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Even better, you can enjoy many of the console’s flagship games via Xbox Game Pass. While the service’s recent price hike was unwelcome news, it remains arguably the best deal in gaming, giving you access to a large selection of must-play games for a single monthly fee. A Game Pass subscription starts from $9.99 per month.
This discount on the Xbox Series X console is just one of the many Prime Day gaming deals available right now. And looking beyond gaming, our Prime Day live blog includes coverage of all the biggest discounts across the most popular product categories.
