You can get a little more out of your Xbox for a little less with these amazing deals.
The power of the current generation of Xbox consoles is impressive in just about every way. We're now a few years into the life cycle of these consoles, which means there are more and more deals to be had. The specifics of the deals change regularly, but you can find consoles, controllers and games on sale regularly as long you don't mind shopping around.
We'll continue to update this page as offers change, so be sure to check back often for the best prices available. If you're a PlayStation gamer, be sure to check out our roundup for the best deals on PlayStation gaming gear.
If you're in the market for a next-gen console, this discounted Xbox Series S and 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion card bundle is a decent option for those who enjoy having a large game library readily at hand. The Series S is the more affordable of Microsoft's two new consoles and doesn't have a physical disk drive, but can still run all the same games as the pricier Series X. Having that additional terabyte of storage could certainly come in handy, so this is a decent option for gamers who don't want to have to pick and choose which games to keep on your console.
Xbox users who subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate now have access to Microsoft's cloud gaming beta, which allows you to stream games from anywhere on a variety of devices -- including smartphones. This Razer Kishi V2 is a compact controller that holds your phone in the middle so you can enjoy your favorite console games while you're on the go. It's designed to be universally compatible with Android phones with a USB-C connector and has a similar layout to the Nintendo Switch.
Named our favorite wireless option for 2023, the basic next-gen Xbox controller is still the best choice for most people. It features a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack, and with Bluetooth connectivity, it's easy to pair with your console, PC or phone.
If you're a hardcore gamer, you may want to take advantage of this rare deal on the Elite Series 2 Core wireless controller. It allows you to adjust thumbstick tension and features faster triggers to help you stay ahead of the competition. Plus, you can remap the buttons and create up to three custom profiles so you can easily switch between games or players. Note that the best price is on the white controller.
A Game Pass Ultimate subscription is one of the best ways to get the most out of your Xbox. It includes an Xbox Live Gold membership, which allows you to play games online and also gives you access to a massive library of Xbox games that you can download and play for free at any time. An Ultimate membership typically costs $17 a month (via Microsoft), but this three-month deal from CDKeys drops that monthly price down to just above $10.
