Amazon has dropped the price of the Xbox series X to a mere £359.99, a whopping 31 per cent discount on its usual RRP of £479.99.

The best gaming console Microsoft has ever made, the next-generation machine offers a cutting-edge gaming experience and a giant library of titles to choose from thanks to the Netflix-style Xbox Game Pass.

Discounts on the Xbox have been rare since it launched three years ago. Amazon’s time-limited deal drops the price to £409.99, with an additional £50 voucher bringing the total down to just £359.99 at checkout, the cheapest the Xbox series X has ever been.

In July last year, Microsoft actually increased the price of the Xbox series X, raising the price of the flagship console by £30 to £479. So now’s the best time to treat yourself. Here’s how you can secure the deal.

The Xbox series X is the most powerful gaming console Microsoft makes. Large and cuboid but completely silent, it matches the performance of a high-end gaming PC – loading games in a snap and booting up menus in a fraction of a second.

In our recently updated Xbox series X review, our tester concluded that “if you’re invested in your back catalogue of Xbox games and want to see them at their absolute finest, the Xbox series X is the best way to play”.

While there aren’t as many exclusives as there are on the PS5, the console’s library has grown significantly since it was first released in 2020 – Xbox Game Pass is worth every penny. The subscription service offers access to hundreds of games for a flat monthly fee.

If you’ve been waiting years for the Xbox series X to come down in price, your time has come. With this Amazon deal, you can save 30 per cent on the next-generation console, seeing it reduced by £120 to £359.99.
