Microsoft is well known for unleashing widespread Xbox game sales during the holiday season, and 2021 is proving no different. The official site has just unveiled a massive sale of Xbox deals, with discounts on some of the latest releases like Forza Horizon 5 (now $53.99) and Call of Duty: Vanguard (now $38.99).

We're seeing some of the best games of the year hovering around their lowest ever prices right now - Far Cry 6 is just 99 cents off its Black Friday rate of $35, for example. However, there are plenty of cheaper Xbox deals to see you through the holiday season as well, with particular attention paid to those older games that might be forming your Christmas backlog. Red Dead Redemption 2 is down to $23.99 right now, and you'll find Watch Dogs: Legion available for just $14.99 as well.
