Mobile gaming and free-to-play games might be cheap thrills, but gaming is still pretty expensive overall. Consoles, games, controllers and some subscriptions cost a lot. So, any chance to save money on it is good, and while Xbox does have Game Pass for those who want to keep money in mind, it's always nice to check out the best Xbox deals outside of that, too.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
To help you take full advantage of these savings, we've rounded up some of the best offers available right now below. These bargains can come and go pretty fast, and we'll continue to update this page with the latest and greatest deals, so check back often to see what's new.
Xbox Game Pass is another great way to make the most of your console on a budget, and we've also rounded up the best ways to score a subscription for less. If you're also a Sony gamer, we've got a page for the best PlayStation deals as well.

Late last year, Microsoft released a new version of its Series X console without a disc drive. It has 1TB of storage, and unlike the smaller and more affordable digital-only Series S, it still supports 4K resolution. It retails for $450 -- $50 less than the regular Series X console -- and right now, you can pick it up for slightly less at Amazon.
With the latest games, even 1TB of storage can fill up pretty quickly. If you're looking to give your console a boost, you can pick up this Seagate expansion card that's specifically designed for the Xbox Series X and S. The best part is that it plugs right into the back of your console, so you don't have to worry about taking off the faceplate and fiddling with internal components.
If 2TB is too much for your needs, the 1TB model is also on sale for $130 ($70 off).
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 $20 a month (via Microsoft), but this three-month deal from CDKeys drops that monthly price down to just $10.
Some of the most popular games available now include Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Madden NFL 25, with Doom: The Dark Ages on the way.
This is an official Xbox gaming headset that works with Xbox One and Xbox Series X and S. It also has a detachable noise-cancellation microphone so you can take it off when you don't want to use it. These are noise-canceling, with a closed-cup design to help silence the outside world. It also has enhanced bass reproduction to pump out crystal clear highs, mids and lows so you don't miss a single thing.
While not a big discount, this is one of the cheapest ways to get a half-decent controller that works on Xbox Series X and S. PowerA is a budget name that has earned itself a decent reputation, and considering an official Xbox controller is more than double this price, it's worth thinking about if you're not fussed about the difference.
