The Xbox Series X price has been cut to a record low in the United States.
At the time of publishing, Microsoft’s console can be purchased with or without Diablo 4 for $349 at Walmart.

The decision to discount the console so heavily may fuel speculation that Microsoft is preparing to announce updated Xbox Series X hardware.
The company recently began teasing plans for some “important announcements” at The Game Awards on December 7.
Microsoft previously used 2019’s The Game Awards to unveil the Xbox Series X console and Ninja Theory’s Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.
Legal documents published inadvertently in September potentially laid bare key elements of the company’s gaming strategy for years to come, including plans to launch a redesigned Xbox Series X console, codenamed ‘Brooklin’.
According to the documents, the console was planned to launch in November 2024 priced at $499. It would ditch the standard Series X’s disc tray but come with 2TB of storage.
