Microsoft has unveiled their plans for Black Friday 2023, with a huge number of games going on sale, discounts on controllers and $50 off select Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S bundles.

The sale on digital Xbox and Microsoft store games kicks off on 17th November. Certain Xbox Game Studios games will be getting a 65% cut on Xbox, or 67% on PC,  and they state there’s up to 50% off on digital games in general.

For all of the games that will be discounted on Friday, head to the Black Friday & Cyber Monday page here.

Then on 18th November we get the hardware discounts. There will be $10 off on Xbox Wireless Controller, so now’s a great time to grab a controller for players 2, 3 or even 4 in your family.

If you’re looking for an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S console, there’s a limited set of bundles that will be discounted with $50 off.

For Xbox Series X, look out for the Xbox Series X Diablo IV bundle and Xbox Series X Forza Horizon 5 bundle. These will be dropping from that $500 price down to $450. For a smaller console, Xbox Series S Starter Bundle will be discounted down to $250. This gives you the console and three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, so you can dive into Starfield, Forza Motorsport and all the rest.

The last hardware offer that they’re giving is free engraving on the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 created with Xbox Design Lab. That’s $10 that won’t be leaving your pocket.

All in all, it’s a pretty tame official offering from Microsoft this year, and all the offers and discounts outlined here are US specific though we expect rough equivalents to be found around the world. As always, Black Friday is more about what retailers are willing to offer, who are hoping to snag as many sales as possible and
