Xbox Black Friday 2025 Deals LEAKED! What Will Happen to Prices?!

Well folks, the digital starting gun has fired – Xbox's 2025 Black Friday sale is officially here! Time to dive into a sea of digital deals, snag some discounted controllers, and… wait a minute. Hold on. Where are the console discounts? That's right, in a somewhat baffling move, Microsoft has launched its Black Friday extravaganza without any actual price cuts on their Xbox Series X or S consoles. Instead, we're looking at a trade-in program offering $130 for used consoles. Ouch. I'll admit, this is a little bit of a head-scratcher.

Xbox Black Friday 2025 Deals LEAKED! What Will Hap...

But let's not dwell on what's missing and instead focus on what *is* on offer. Because, honestly, there are still some pretty tempting deals to be had. We're talking up to 75% off digital games, and the selection, while not perfect, is definitely worth a look. For instance, you can snag Black Ops 6 for $34.99 (that's the CoD from last year, remember?), The Outer Worlds 2 for $55.99, and even Ninja Gaiden 4 and Battlefield 6 are discounted. So, if you've been holding out on adding some titles to your library, now might be the time.

And here's something that caught my eye: the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2 Remake is *finally* making its way to Xbox, and it's launching with a generous 50% discount. Now that's a deal worth considering. Beyond the new releases, there's a whole host of great games from the past few years going for around $10. We're talking Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Sonic Frontiers, The Witcher 3, and even the Dead Space remake. Not bad at all. These are the kind of deals that can really fill out your game collection without breaking the bank.

Now, here's where things get a little…interesting. Xbox's sale conveniently aligns with Amazon's and Best Buy's Black Friday bonanzas, but there are some noticeable price discrepancies. This seems to be a recurring theme with Microsoft during Black Friday, and it's always a bit puzzling. For example, Amazon was recently selling the Pulse Cipher Xbox Controller for $33 (sadly, it's sold out now), while Microsoft is still offering it for $59.22 in their own sale. Go figure. This means it pays to shop around, folks! Don't just assume Microsoft has the best price.

And speaking of things missing... Game Pass deals are surprisingly scarce. The best offer I've seen remains on Amazon, which hasn't yet hiked the price of three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from its old rate of $59.99 to the new $89.99. And remember, you can still stack that up to 36 months. My pro tip? Keep an eagle eye on Amazon-owned Woot. Last year, they dropped three months of Game Pass Ultimate to just $28.99 during Black Friday. That's a discount worth waiting for. For now, this is what we've got. I'll be diligently tracking those deals over the coming days. Happy hunting, and may the best discounts be ever in your favor!
