The best Xbox Series X deals are here to help you grab a very capable game console that won't cost the world. Whether you're a long-term Xbox gamer finally upgrading, or you're a PC gamer looking for a cheaper alternative to play more relaxing Game Pass games on the couch with, you've come to the right place. Xbox Series X consoles don't go down in price very often, and this year we've seen fewer bundles than we'd like. Still, we're here to help make your shopping trip easier.
With the addition of new Xbox Series X and S models that arrive this October, here's hoping we'll see more discounts as we approach the big deals season. Prime Day and Black Friday are just around the corner, so it'd make sense that we see some bargains soon. Xbox consoles are struggling to keep up with PlayStation's rate of sales at the moment, so a healthy supply of bundles and offers will make things more competitive. Of course, there are always the best Xbox Series X accessories, which are on sale more frequently. There's nothing like a new controller, headset, or storage device to upgrade your existing console.
You'll find the best Xbox Series X deals we've found this month down below, separated by region to make things easier. We've thrown a couple of accessories in there, but as we head into deals season these are fewer in number than we'd like. We've also supplied some answers to frequently asked questions, so read on to find some bargains.

Xbox Series X deals in the UK
What is the Xbox Series X price?
The official Xbox Series X price is $499 in the US and £449 in the UK. If you see a price higher than that without any extras, you are being overcharged and should avoid. Typically the inflated prices aren't subtle either, we're talking hundreds rather than tens extra.
Some stores may take advantage in other ways by limited sellable stock to bundles, with extra games or headset. We've seen some with really naff hats and T-shirts too. Some stores might bump up the prices of these items, but one thing's for sure, you won't be saving a penny on the bundled items at this time.
Xbox Series X deals on accessories
The Xbox Series X price might make you wince, but the console's got one major advantage you may not have considered - backward compatibility for accessories and games.
After paying for a console, you'd normally have to factor in costs for games along with new controllers, subscriptions, and whatever extras the publishers are pushing. But with any Xbox Series X bundles, all of your existing Xbox One accessories and services are forwards compatible. That means your achievements, progression, controllers, memberships, and Xbox One headsets move forward to Series X. Many of the top audio-brands have contributed to our guide to the best Xbox Series X headsets as a result.
The console also lets you play older Xbox One games via both the optical disc drive and digital download, not to mention Game Pass. That allows you to save a couple of hundred dollars right off the bat - you don't need to buy specific 'next-gen' versions of a game, as they're usually the same.

How to save on the Xbox Series X price
The Xbox Series X price is still a hefty chunk of cash to spend. But you don't necessarily have to pay it off in one go. Enter Microsoft's fancy Xbox All Access system. This is a payment plan, and it allows you to get an Xbox Series X for a monthly fee spread over two years. It'll set you back $34.99 per month in the US, £28.99p/m in the UK, and $46p/m in Australia.
Interestingly, Xbox All Access doesn't just get you the console. It also offers 24 months of Game Pass Ultimate as well. Because Game Pass is a bit like Netflix for gaming (with well over 100 games and counting), that's a solid deal. Particularly due to the fact that new Xbox exclusive games like Halo will appear on Game Pass for free on the day of release.
Thanks to this, Xbox All Access might be one of the more sensible options when it comes to buying an Xbox Series X. Indeed, it saves you money in the long run. Sure, you're only getting a small amount knocked off the overall price, but it's still cheaper than buying the console and two years of Game Pass separately.
However, be advised that you won't find Xbox All Access in many stores besides Microsoft. GameStop and Walmart fill that role in the US, and Game or Smyths have the honor in the UK.
