Black Friday month has well and truly kicked off – this week has seen a whole heap of retailers and tech manufacturers kick off their seasonal sales ahead of the big day on 29 November. If you're in the market for a new console and an Xbox has taken your fancy, it looks like a pretty great time to shop around.

On November 15, Xbox announced its slate of Black Friday deals in a big post on the official Xbox Wire website. Not all of the deals are live yet and some end at different times, so let’s walk you through the best gaming deals announced by Xbox.

In fact, the Xbox Series X is already discounted by $50 in the US right now at certain retailers, and it's been confirmed the Xbox Series S will be getting the same treatment on November 21st. This will bring it down to $249.99.

This is the kind of offer I would expect to see when official Black Friday Xbox deals stick the landing at the end of the month, so grabbing it two weeks early feels like a solid win. After all, the Seagate alternative is still sitting at $149 at Amazon right now.

Starting today and running until December 2, Xbox is offering major discounts on digital titles for Black Friday.

The Xbox Black Friday sale is finally here and has really delivered the goods. There are some huge discounts on a wide range of games, with savings up to 55%. If you’ve been waiting for the chance to expand your digital game library without breaking the bank, then now is the time to strike. Want more Black Fridays savings?
