The Sale Has Officially Started

Microsoft has just revealed everything included in its Black Friday sale. It includes some discounts on games, controllers, consoles, and more, plenty of which are now live. But, we’ve found a few extra early Black Friday deals we want to share with you today as well, including a top discount on Xbox controllers currently down to just $34.99 using a promo code PLAYXBOX. Here’s a breakdown of the best offers for Xbox running now through Black Friday and beyond.

Best Xbox Black Friday Deals

Microsoft has officially announced big savings on digital Xbox and PC games, running now through December 2. You can enjoy up to 55% off select digital Xbox games and up to 60% off select PC digital games. There are big deals for games like FC 25 ($34.99), Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred ($29.99), Star Wars: Outlaws ($52.49), and more. If you picked up a discounted Xbox gift card from Amazon this week, this must be music to your ears! If you didn’t, you’re out of luck: That deal just expired. But, like most deals that fizzle out early, there’s always a chance it comes back closer to Black Friday.

While these deals are focused on digital content, expect even more discounts when retailers like Amazon launch Black Friday sales on November 21, with additional offers rolling out on Black Friday itself, November 29.

Black Friday Xbox Bonus Offers

• Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred Editions: Buy any edition and receive a $5 Xbox gift card and the Sound of Slaughter Bundle
• EA Sports College Football 25 Editions: Includes a $5 Xbox gift card and 500 College Football Points
• F1 24 Editions: Includes a $5 Xbox gift card and an F1 24 VIP Podium Pass
• NHL 25 Editions: Includes a $5 Xbox gift card and an NHL 25 550 Points Pack

Xbox Black Friday Controller Deals

Lenovo is pushing Black Friday pricing on Xbox controllers earlier than we expected. Starting today, you can pick up an official Microsoft Xbox Series X|S wireless controller for as low as $34.99 after you apply coupon code “PLAYXBOX“. Seven different color schemes are on sale right now. Most of them are $39.99, however the Velocity Green controller is $5 cheaper than the rest at $34.99. These controllers are compatible with Xbox Series X and S consoles as well as your PC.

Xbox is also officially discounting controllers from November 21 through December 2, and December 13 through December 22, but it’s only $10 off. You’re likely to find better deals now, or at other retailers in and around Black Friday itself. Also, from November 28 – December 5, there’s free engraving on Xbox Design Lab controllers.

“This is an Xbox” Deals

Another standout offer is the Fire TV Stick 4K, now at its lowest-ever price of $21.99 (according to camelcamelcamel) beating its previous best of $25 during Prime Day. As Microsoft is now reminding us, which is hilariously also now a meme, you can use a Fire TV Stick to stream Xbox games at no extra cost. For those looking for an upgrade, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is also at a record-low price of $32.99. Both are excellent deals, but we recommend acting fast before stock runs out.

If you’ve been eyeing an Xbox console, the 1TB Carbon Black Series X is currently $50 off, bringing it down to $448. Microsoft has confirmed this $50 discount will last until at least November 23, so you’ve got until then to grab the deal. From November 21, we’ll see some deals on Xbox Series S start to appear as well (at least $50 off).

Best Xbox Game Pass Black Friday Deal

Editor’s Note: This Woot Xbox Game Pass deal is currently out of stock, but Woot often brings deals like this back often, so keep an eye out for more discounts in the build up to Black Friday on November 29. We’ll certainly keep you updated if this changes, so bookmark this page or follow us @IGNDeals on Twitter/X or Bluesky.

One of our favorite Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deals has returned at Woot, providing another opportunity for users to stack their membership at a discounted rate. You can get three months of the service for just $29.19, today only with code TWENTY. Even after this code expires, $36.49 for three months of Game Pass is pretty great as well, but only if the codes stay in stock!

Considering the new price of Game Pass Ultimate is $19.99/month, you’re saving big with this three-month deal. This is the best way to avoid the Xbox Game Pass price hike. By stacking these codes you can set yourself up for success to play all of their upcoming releases at a lower price.
