Making the leap to current generation consoles like the Xbox Series X isn’t cheap, which is why we love this time of year. There are plenty of excellent deals to be found, making it far easier to sample some of the greatest Xbox games out there. Whether you’re itching to see what the fuss is about with Starfield or ready to tear up the course in Forza Motorsport, this new Xbox deal from Walmart is not to be missed.
You can take advantage of this superb saving over on Walmart’s digital storefront right now, which brings the price of an Xbox Series X console down to $349 – an amazing saving of $150. Typically, the console retails for $499, making this one of the more notable savings you can find this holiday season. And don’t worry, folks, we’ve got something lined up for you if you’re based outside the United States. Amazon UK is coming in with a similar deal, that is just as impressive when it comes to saving your cash.
You’ll be netting a nice 30% off with this deal, though it won’t arrive for Christmas Day if you’re thinking of gifting it to someone. Nevertheless, if that isn’t an obstacle, like Walmart, this deal won’t be sticking around for long. Another caveat also pertains to the actual games you may want to play. You won’t be getting any of the best Xbox games available with either deal, but that’s where the power of Xbox Game Pass comes into play.
Not can you get access to the best Xbox Game Pass games, which there are hundreds of, but getting your hands on Microsoft’s current-gen beast also opens up your world to many Xbox exclusives within the subscription service. That includes the likes of arguably one of the best RPG games of the year, Starfield.
Marking a monumental time for Bethesda, the acclaimed interstellar adventure is available to play in its entirety on Game Pass, though you’ll need to purchase the upcoming Starfield DLC separately.
However, we understand if roaming around space isn’t your thing. Luckily, there are plenty of new Xbox games on the horizon, like Contraband, the latest project from Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios. An open-world heist game exclusive for Xbox players, we’re still waiting for another glimpse of the crime caper includes. Or, you know, we’d love a new Just Cause game too.
