BLACK FRIDAY XBOX. There are only a few hours left to take advantage of the Black Friday 2022 promotions and treat yourself to an Xbox Series S or an Xbox Series X. We tell you all about the latest offers.
[Mis à jour le 28 novembre 2022 à 16h42] Black Friday 2022 is coming to an end, but it’s still not too late to take advantage of certain offers to buy the Xbox Series S or to find the Xbox Series X in stock. At the time of writing, the Xbox Series S is still available at €229.99 instead of €299.99, its recommended retail price. At Rakuten it even goes to €219.99 thanks to the code CYBER10 which offers a reduction of 10€ from 59€ of purchase. This is its best price for this Cyber Monday which concludes the Black Friday 2022 promotion period.
For this Black Friday 2022, we must admit that we have seen very few promotions around the Xbox Series X, the direct competitor of the Playstation 5. And for good reason, the machine is selling very well at its high price of 499, 99€. However, we were able to alert you to two packs of interest but they quickly disappeared from stock, logically. The Xbox Series X alone is still in stock at select retailers, and if you’re in a hurry, buying it at its standard price is always a good idea (especially since it’s cheaper than its competitor). To obtain games at a lower cost, we also advise you to purchase an Xbox Game Pass subscription to immediately obtain a toy library of several hundred games!
As for the Xbox games still on promotion, there is still plenty to do since we still see Forza Horizon 5 at €29.99 but also the SF shooting game Halo Infinite at €9.99 instead of €29.99! Excellent open-world action game, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is $25.99 instead of €47.99, which is a nice discount for one of Ubisoft’s best games of recent years. You can also NBA 2K23 at €36.90 instead of €56.90 on Xbox.
Do not neglect the Xbox Game Pass subscription which happens to be a particularly interesting offer for Xbox Series consoles (and for PC for that matter as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate). For a monthly subscription of around €12, the Xbox Game Pass gives you access to a catalog of several hundred games, including some of the most recent (we think of A Plague Tale: Requiem and Halo Infinite for example) at no additional cost. A real competitive advantage of the Xbox range, this offer is still unmatched at Sony or Nintendo. We recommend that you take a look at it here for example 3 months of Xbox Game Pass subscription costs €38.99 !
What accessories for your Xbox Series?
If you’re purchasing an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, you may want to add a few accessories to your cart depending on your situation. For example, if you are a fan of couch parties, buying an additional controller is a must. For Black Friday, you can find quite easily Xbox Series controllers at €44.99 instead of €59.99. A nice reduction of -25% all the same! Also, if you regularly download games to your console’s hard drive, you’ll probably find yourself cramped pretty quickly with the Xbox Series S’s 512GB drive or the Xbox Series X’s 1TB drive. this case, we recommend that you purchase a official Seagate 512 GB expansion for Xbox Series at €131.99 instead of €159.99.
What games are on sale for your Xbox Series?
The Xbox Series X is also a catalog of particularly interesting games. This Black Friday, resellers are stepping up their efforts to offer promotions of interest on games playable on Xbox Series X. For example, the unstoppable FIFA 23 is already going to €49.99 instead of €69.99. The standard meter of football games signed Electronic Arts therefore offers a very nice promotion just a few weeks after its release. If you’re more into adventure games, we recommend the Day 1 version of Cyberpunk 2077 for only €22.73. If action games are more your genre, there are plenty of titles to watch including Halo Infinite at €9.99but also the excellent Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for €19.99 or Far Cry 6 for $24.99.
One of the big advantages of embarking on the purchase of an Xbox Series is the fact that it allows you to have access to the Xbox Game Pass subscription which, for a monthly amount of 13€, allows you to access to a toy library of several hundred games constantly renewed. This video game catalog alone justifies the cost of the subscription, which is very affordable for the number of games that can be found there. Note that all games from studios belonging to Microsoft arrive in the Game Pass subscription from the first day of their release, which makes the subscription even more interesting for players.
As a reminder, the Xbox Series S does not have a disc drive. It is therefore impossible to buy boxed games to play on Xbox Series S. On the contrary, you have to buy your games on the Xbox online store and download them directly from the internet. You can also bank on the Xbox Game Pass subscription which, for a fairly modest monthly subscription, offers access to a regularly renewed catalog of around a hundred games including exclusives developed by Xbox studios from the day of their release.
Best Products
The Xbox Series X is the pinnacle of Microsoft’s efforts. It delivers on the promise of flawless performance and a huge library spanning multiple generations of Xbox games. Since this one was out of stock before, the prices are not always the cheapest. It is still far from being easy to buy but it is worth it. The Xbox Series X has been out for almost two years but if you’re expecting a price drop, there may be some doubt as the console has been around for quite a while at €499.99. Offers are however expected on the side of packs, games and console accessories.
If you want to take the plunge but with a tighter budget, turn instead to the Xbox Series S, a model without a disc drive and offering an experience in 1440p resolution and not in 4K. In this, therefore, you will not be able to buy boxed games but will instead have to shop online. Be aware, however, that the Xbox Series S hard drive only offers a space of 500 GB compared to 1 terabyte for the Xbox Series X. During Black Friday 2022, the major retailers are organizing significant price reductions for this console, in particular via fundraising operations on the side of supermarkets.
Finally, owners of Xbox consoles (and even PCs) may be interested in a particularly interesting subscription offer from Microsoft: the Xbox Game Pass. This offer by monthly subscription gives access to a catalog of a hundred video games, recent or less recent, all for a modest sum. Included, a hundred video games whose listing is regularly renewed as well as the EA Play catalog of Electronic Arts games including Battlefield 1, Star Wars Battlefront 2, FIFA, Need For Speed, Burnout and many others.
The Xbox Game Pass subscription also allows you to take advantage of all the new Xbox Game Studios studios from the day of their release, at no additional cost. Subscription cards are available for purchase for Xbox Game Pass and are often offered at discounted prices on Black Friday. The 2022 edition should therefore be no exception to the rule. This is an ideal gift for video game lovers who play on PC and Xbox consoles.
