Microsoft has spilled the beans on which Xbox games are currently flying off the shelves during their Black Friday 2024 sale. Unsurprisingly, these popular titles give us a hint at the hot deals Xbox is offering this season.
November saw the kickoff of some early Black Friday deals on Xbox, sticking around until Cyber Monday. With new game price cuts popping up throughout the second half of November, gamers have had plenty of opportunities to snag a bargain at Microsoft’s digital store.
Checking out the “Top Paid” section of the Microsoft Store sheds some light on what players are flocking to buy. According to Pure Xbox, the top three best-sellers in the U.S. right now are NBA 2K25, EA Sports Madden NFL 25, and EA Sports FC 25, and they’re all marked down by at least 50% courtesy of the Xbox Black Friday 2024 Deals, slashing over $100 off the usual cost combined.
With sports games hogging six spots in the top 10 best-selling Xbox titles, it’s clear where gamers’ interests lie. But it’s not all about the scoreboard—Red Dead Redemption 2 is the sole non-sports title in the top five. A perennial favorite, Rockstar’s 2018 hit has still got it, consistently moving millions of copies each year. As of November 2024, it has sold a whopping 67 million units worldwide, a testament to its enduring appeal.
Diving into other hits on the sales chart, Rockstar scores another victory with GTA 5 sitting at the sixth spot. Following closely are Hogwarts Legacy, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, MLB The Show 24, and WWE 2K24. MLB The Show 24 stands out with the steepest discount in this lineup, currently at a jaw-dropping $10.49, down 85% from its regular price. Altogether, the top 10 Xbox games are offering up to $377.10 in combined savings right now.
These mouthwatering deals are set to stick around until Cyber Monday, December 2. Many steals from the now-wrapped Xbox Halloween 2024 sale have made a comeback for this Black Friday extravaganza.
The Xbox Series X continues to shine as a standout choice for gamers, decked out in its sleek white look, perfect for enjoying Microsoft’s vast array of Game Pass games. Capable of 4K gaming and boasting a speedy 1 TB SSD, this console is built for performance. Accompanied by the versatile Xbox Wireless Controller with a dedicated Share Button, it ensures players can easily capture and share their gaming triumphs. Whether it’s the thrill of 120 fps gameplay or the robust storage that buys standing ovation, the Xbox Series X remains a top-notch pick for gaming enthusiasts.
