Best Black Friday Xbox Series X deals in 2024: Holiday discounts offered all year

Xbox Series X deals in 2024: What to expect

The Xbox Series X was a much-anticipated 2020 release and has remained a popular console among avid gamers. Although it has been on the market for nearly five years, its pricing has held steady at between $349.99 and $499.99 across most major retail outlets.

Historically, discounts on the Series X console have been minimal (more like abysmal) with most Black Friday deals focused on bundled options rather than price cuts on the device itself. For example, last year in 2023, major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy offered Xbox Series X bundles, including a free game or Game Pass trial for around the same price as a standalone console. The best deal we saw was $430 for the Xbox Series X Diablo IV bundle, which was a surprisingly big deal for $120 off. You may or may not come across a deal like that again in 2024, but expect other bundles saving you about $30-60 off.

Black Friday often offers more significant deals on Xbox accessories, rather than the console itself. For instance, we found that the Xbox wireless controller, which usually retails for around $60, saw discounts of up to 30%, bringing prices down to $40 to $45 during past Black Fridays. Similarly, Xbox headset discounts were seen around 25% to 40% off, enabling shoppers to find quality options for as low as $35 during Black Friday.

In 2024, you can expect similar discounts, especially on accessories, as retailers compete for Black Friday shoppers. However, it's unlikely you’ll see large price cuts on Xbox Series X consoles this year—that is, if you shop new.

If you’re considering alternatives to new, this leads you to a convenient alternative—Back Market. We provide a year-round way to save on refurbished Xbox Series X consoles. While other retailers offer bundled deals once a year, we consistently feature reduced prices on Xbox items, giving you more flexible savings that suit your pocket!

While we might not have any Xbox Series X in stock at the moment, we recently had it as low as $399, and you can expect this price or lower when it comes back in stock, likely in time for Black Friday. So keep an eye out, and you might just find the deal you're looking for.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy an Xbox Series X?

Of course, there are always deals and savings to be found on the Xbox Series X during Black Friday shopping events. However, this doesn’t mean you have to hold out for it each year. Black Friday isn’t always the “best time” to buy. 

If you buy refurbished items with Back Market instead, you can enjoy low pricing and significant discounts that are the same as or lower than what you’ll see on Black Friday. This works out perfectly since the best time to buy an Xbox Series X is when you need to replace your current one that isn’t meeting your expectations.

What's the cheapest price for an Xbox Series X?

At the moment, we don’t have any refurbished Xbox Series X consoles in stock, but our last lowest price was $399. If you're shopping from big retailers this Holiday, we expect you will find the lowest Xbox Series X prices around $470, which will include a game and a controller. We expect to have more supply at Back Market by Black Friday, so if you check back with us, you'll find savings of about $90 or more compared to other retailer sales.

Bottom line: Get Xbox Series X deals on Black Friday OR any time of year

As we've pointed out above, you can, of course, find deals on the Xbox Series X during Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday sales seasons, but you can also always get a deal on Back Market, no matter what season. With us, you don't have to wait for a specific time to get a good deal.

When you shop with Back Market, you won’t ever need to worry about us increasing prices unfairly during Black Friday. Our prices are always comparable or lower than most retailer's biggest sales. So instead of planning your spend around 1 month of the year, you can buy your next console when you actually need one.

Are Xbox Series X Black Friday deals worth it?

We know it's a shady process, but some retailers like to increase the prices of Xbox Series X consoles before November to make their Black Friday deals look more appealing. Unfortunately, the only way to know if this has happened is to do your research and keep an eye on pricing a few months before Black Friday. 

In addition, certain gaming retailers don’t like to offer any Black Friday deals on consoles like the Xbox Series X that dip below the retail price. Instead, they will offer bundle deals that often include a game, an accessory, or Xbox Live access. This might be worth it to you if the bundle includes everything you planned on buying anyway.

For everyone else, you'll find the freedom of choosing your own games and accessories, while still scoring a great discount, if you choose to buy a refurbished Xbox Series X with Back Market instead. As you know, our low pricing is year-round, and we offer industry-competitive warranties and guarantees. All gaming consoles from Back Market, comes with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can shop with confidence.
