With Black Friday around the corner, it’s the perfect time to snag a fantastic gaming gift, whether for yourself or as an early Christmas present for a loved one. Walmart’s got a tempting deal you won’t want to miss: a price cut on Microsoft’s flagship gaming console that could save you a cool $50 off the usual price.
Typically priced at $449, you can now grab the Xbox Series X for just $398 during Walmart’s Black Friday event. This powerhouse of a console is built solely for gaming, featuring a custom Zen 2 CPU with 8 cores humming along at 3.8GHz and a custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU capable of delivering stunning 4K visuals at up to 120 frames per second on a compatible TV or monitor. With a hefty 1TB of storage, you’ll have plenty of room to keep your favorite games installed and ready to fire up in no time.
This particular Xbox Series X unit comes in a sleek “Robot-White” design and is a digital-only version, meaning there’s no disk drive. Loaded with Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1, and USB 3.1 connectivity options, it promises a comprehensive gaming experience right from your living room. Although the Series X has been on the market for a while, it remains one of the best options for enjoying your games, and it’s more budget-friendly than a mid-range PC graphics card.
What makes this console stand out, alongside the Series S, is its backward compatibility with a range of games and accessories from previous Xbox models. Plus, with a Games Pass subscription, you gain access to a massive library of games, including new AAA titles the moment they launch. As someone who owns a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, I find it incredibly handy to play games on both my PC and Series X, with game progress and saves syncing seamlessly between platforms. It’s a great perk when I’m in the mood to swap my desk chair for the comfort of the living room couch and enjoy some gaming on a big screen.
