Why not indulge in a gaming treat for yourself this Black Friday? Or perhaps, you could surprise a gaming enthusiast in your life with an early Christmas gift. You’re in luck because Walmart has an incredible offer that’s hard to pass up. It’s part of their Black Friday deals where you can snag Microsoft’s top-of-the-line gaming console, the Xbox Series X, at a cool discount of $50 off the regular price.
Typically, the Xbox Series X sells for $449, but right now, it’s available for just $398 as part of Walmart’s Black Friday sales. This console is made purely with gaming in mind. It boasts a custom Zen 2 CPU, featuring 8 Cores running at 3.8GHz, and a custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU that delivers stunning 4K visuals at up to 120 frames per second on a variable refresh rate display. Plus, with 1TB of storage capacity, your favorite games can be installed and ready to play in a matter of seconds, eliminating long waits.
This offering of the Xbox Series X is clad in a chic “Robot-White” and represents a digital-only model, which means it doesn’t include a disk drive. What it does have, though, are fantastic features like Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1, and USB 3.1 connectivity that elevate your gaming experience right in your living room. Even though the Series X has been out for a while, it’s still one of the premier ways to dive into your gaming worlds, offering more value than a mid-tier graphics card for a gaming PC.
Moreover, one of the standout features of this console, and its sibling, the Series S, is its backward compatibility. This means many games and accessories from older Xbox models are still usable. And if you opt for a Game Pass subscription, you’ll gain access to a treasure trove of hundreds of games, including brand-new AAA titles available from day one. Personally, I love having a Game Pass Ultimate subscription since it allows me to enjoy games across both my PC and Series X. Many games even synchronize progress and saves between these platforms. This flexibility is fantastic for when I feel like switching from my desk to the couch for some relaxed gaming on a bigger screen.
