This is a part of its Xbox Black Friday promotion sale, where you can also find up to 67% off digital games, up to $25 off Xbox Controllers, and plenty more as well.This is probably the best deal we’re going to see when it comes to the ‘new-gen’ consoles this coming Black Friday. For a limited time only, you can get $60 off the smallest Xbox ever, the Xbox Series S, and set yourself up for one of the best years Xbox has ever had in 2023.
