Xbox Series X finally goes on sale for Black Friday 2025 – but dont get your hopes up for more

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?

    Honestly, it's unlikely. The November sales period has already kicked off and it's been slow going with a few game bundles popping up across retailers like Very, Currys and EE. We've also seen a few worthy offers on Xbox Controllers and Microsoft itself has now launched its official sale across games and accessories.

    But finally, we've managed to find a small saving on the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles. Right now you can get up to £30 off both devices at Argos and Amazon.

    It isn't an incredible deal, especially considering 2023 saw a £100+ saving. But for now it's the best they've got and seeing as the Xbox sale has already launched, we're not hopeful for more.

    When is the Xbox Black Friday sale in 2025?

    Microsoft's official Black Friday sale is now live and will end on 3rd December. This year the sale does not include any Xbox consoles, instead offering up to 20% off controllers, accessories and games.

    We'd suggest looking for console deals at third party retailers like Argos, Very and Amazon,.

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

    Last year the Xbox Series X 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're unlikely to see a significant reduction beyond that original RRP.

    This year, the lowest price we've found on the Xbox Series X is £419 for the Digital Edition and £469 for Disc. That's a £30 reduction for both and, as predicted only £10 less than the device previously cost.

    Xbox Series X Digital | £449 £419 (save £30 or 7%) at AmazonXbox Series X Disc | £499 £469 (save £30 or 6%) at Argos undefined

    How much does 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 £30 off for the 512GB version and £20 off for 1TB, both at Amazon.

    Xbox Series X Black Friday deals

    What's the deal: As we've said, the cheapest price we have found on the Xbox Series X is £30 off at Argos and Amazon. This takes the Digital edition's price to £419 and the Disc's to £469.

    Why we chose it: Look, it's not ideal, but a new Xbox is still a while away, so if you've been waiting to buy this is the best chance you'll get.

    Get the Xbox Series X with the new EA Sports FC 

    What's the deal: The best bundle we've seen so far is the Xbox Series X with the new game EA Sports FC 26. This game has an RRP of £62.99 so would normally take the total of this package to £561, which means you're saving £32 if you buy the £529 bundle at Currys.

    Why we chose it: EA Sports FC is always one of the most anticipated games of the year, so any way to bundle it up is useful. You can also get the game in a bundle with an extra controller and with the Xbox Series S.

    What's the deal: JD Williams has bundled the Xbox with the game Call of Duty Black Ops 6.

    Why we chose it: This game would normally cost £69.99 so you're not saving anything with this bundle, but you are making sure you get your Xbox playing experience started with a bang.

    Xbox Series X with extra controller package

    What's the deal: You can get the Series X in a package with an extra wireless controller for £548 at Very.

    Why we chose it: If you want to go straight into group gaming with the Xbox Series X, this is the best way, especially as you get to choose from five colour options.

    What's the deal: There are several bundles available featuring the Xbox Series X and a subscription to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If you get them at EE you can pay through instalments over 24 months.

    Why we chose it: The Xbox Game Pass recently underwent a huge price increase, so we'd recommend going for any bundles with the Ultimate Pass included, as it will save you money on games in the long run.

    Or bundle it with Game Pass Essential

    What's the deal: This JD Williams pairs the 1TB Series X console with three months of Xbox Game Pass Essential.

    Why we chose it: The basic Game Pass is the simplest version with 50+ games on Xbox console, PC and supported devices and online multiplayer.

    Xbox Series S Back Friday deals

    What's the deal: The Xbox Series S has also had a £30 discount at Amazon and Argos. At both, you can find the 512GB version for £269 from £299, and the ITB for £329 from £349.

    Why we chose it: At least with Xbox Series S is already cheaper than the X, so you might as well enjoy a little extra off.
