None of the 18 Xbox prices we track is cheaper than in early November yet. We'll flag real discounts here as soon as prices drop. How we check.
Black Friday Xbox deals on the Xbox Series X 1TB, the Series X Digital Edition, the Series S in 512GB and 1TB, and the Xbox Wireless and Elite Series 2 controllers from UK retailers. Each deal is compared with the lowest price we logged for it in early November, so you can see whether the discount is real.
Microsoft raised UK Xbox console prices in August {year}, so a discount on the new list price can still leave a console costing more than it did earlier in the year. Our verdict ignores the "was" price and looks only at the early-November price.
Check which version you are getting. The Series X comes with a disc drive or as the all-digital Digital Edition, while the Series S has no disc drive and comes with 512GB or 1TB of storage. Bundles can be good value, but only if you want the included game. Game Pass is sold separately and is not included in our price checks.
Controllers are a good Black Friday buy if you need a second one. The Xbox Wireless Controller works with Series X, Series S, Xbox One and Windows PCs. The Elite Series 2 is a premium controller with swappable parts, and there is also a Core version that comes with fewer accessories at a lower price, so make sure two listings are for the same version before comparing. Console prices have gone up rather than down in recent years, so if the model you want earns a "Real discount" verdict, waiting for a bigger cut is a gamble. See how we check prices for how the verdicts work.

See the saleSome are and some are not. We compare every deal with the lowest price we logged for it in early November. Look for the "Real discount" label in the tables above, which means the price is at least 5% below that reference. Because a strikethrough "was" price can be any past price, we ignore it and use our own reference instead.
The Series X is more powerful, is designed for 4K and comes with a disc drive, apart from the Digital Edition. The Series S is smaller, cheaper and digital-only, and suits smaller TVs or a second console. Both play the same current Xbox games, so the choice is mainly about picture quality, storage and discs.
No. Game Pass is a separate subscription, although some bundles include a trial or a code. Our verdicts cover the hardware price only, so value any Game Pass code separately and check how long it lasts before counting it as part of the saving.
We cannot promise it. Discounts on consoles depend on each retailer, and Microsoft raised UK Xbox prices in August {year}. If a retailer does cut the Series X, the tables above show whether the price is at least 5% below what it cost in early November, which earns a "Real discount" label.
There is no reliable rule. In {year}, Black Friday is on 27 November and Cyber Monday on 30 November. Some console deals run across the whole weekend, while others sell out or end early. Our verdicts compare every price with the same early-November reference, so you can check on either day whether the console you want is genuinely cheaper.
It varies by model and changes during the sales. One retailer may have the cheapest Series S while another has the best price on the Series X or a controller. The tables above list each model across the UK retailers we track with its current price and our verdict, so check the specific console rather than a shop.
