How much will the Xbox Series X cost this Black Friday?

It's been a bit of a rough year for Xbox fans; not only has the Xbox Series X and Series S increased in price, but the cost of Game Pass Ultimate has also gone up by £8 a month, leaving many Microsoft users unable to enjoy the access they once had.

But can Black Friday save the day?

The November sales period has already kicked off with several game bundles popping up across retailers like Very, Currys and EE. So far, there isn't too much to be excited about in the Xbox space, but we still have three weeks to go before Black Friday itself.

Last year, we saw some incredible savings on Xbox Controllers and games, as well as a decent £50 off the Series S, while the Series X console sat at the same price. This year, we're keeping everything crossed for more deals, either across the Series X or their brand-new device the the ASUS Rog Ally X.

We'll be keeping this page updated with all the deals we find, but for now, here's everything we're expecting for Black Friday 2025.

When is the Xbox Black Friday sale in 2025?

Microsoft's official Black Friday sale normally kicks in the week before Black Friday starts, so between Monday 17th and Friday 21st. Although you can usually find good deals at third party retailers like Currys, Very and Amazon, earlier on in the month.

How much will the Xbox Series X cost on Black Friday?

We don't yet know if the Xbox Series X will go on sale this Black Friday, and being honest, our hopes aren't high. Last year the console was only reduced by £20, taking the price from £479 to £459. What's more, the device has actually gone up in price since then to £499 (£449 for the Digital version), that means we might only see a reduction back to last year's RRP.

However, Microsoft has released a new handheld device this year – the ASUS Rog Ally X – which means we may see a reduction on their older models. If we do, we'd strongly recommend buying it, as rumour has it we won't see an updated Xbox console until 2027 or even 2028.

How much will the Xbox Series S cost on Black Friday?

Like the Series X, the Xbox Series S has had a price increase this year, taking the price from £249 to £299. However, last year the console was reduced to £199, so we're more likely to see another deal on this.

Right now the best deal we've found is £10 off at Very.
