Covering Black Friday Xbox deals is something I've been doing for a good number of years now, so I feel confident that I can leverage that expertise to bring you the very best in discounts and savings Microsoft has put forward during this year's sales event.

Headlines include big savings on the Xbox Series X Digital Edition, which Amazon has listed at $398 (was $449.99), and a huge $20 off the Xbox Wireless Controller, taking it down to just $39.99 (was $59.99).

It's been a fantastic year for storage expansion card deals, too. Take this impressive WD Black C50 (1TB) discount, for example, which drops the storage card below $100 for the first time at Best Buy. It's now $99.99 (was $149.99) at the popular US retailer. The 1TB Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card also has a decent discount, down to $129.99 (was $159.99) at Amazon.

Below, I've compiled a veritable laundry list of Black Friday Xbox deals. They're all separated by category, making it easier to search for the products you're looking for - be that consoles, controllers, storage, or otherwise.

Black Friday Xbox deals: consoles

Xbox Series X Digital Edition (1TB)
Xbox Series X Digital Edition (1TB): was $449.99 now $398 at Amazon

It's the best deal we've seen to date for the Xbox Series X Digital Edition. Under normal circumstances, I'd find the all-digital model a little tough to recommend thanks to its lack of a disc drive and relatively high sticker price. But this is a fine discount that takes the console below $400.

Price check: Best Buy - $399.99 | Target - $399.99

UK price: John Lewis - £429.99

Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Edition
Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Edition: $599.99 at Best Buy

While not a discount in and of itself, the Galaxy Black Xbox Series X is worth buying at Best Buy as you'll bag a free $75 gift card which can be spent on anything you'd like at the storefront. Want a new game or perhaps an Xbox Game Pass subscription? This is perfect for that. Sadly, UK availability is limited at present.

Price check: Microsoft Store - $599.99

Xbox Series S (512GB)
Xbox Series S (512GB): was $299.99 now $249.99 at Best Buy

Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3
Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3: was $199.99 now $149.99 at Amazon

A record-low price for the relatively new refresh of the Stealth 700 sends it crashing down to an excellent mid-range price. Turtle Beach typically impresses on gaming headsets, and this will pair very well with that Recon controller deal above.

Looking for a solid open-world AAA shooter for less than 20 bucks? How about less than 15 bucks? Far Cry 6 is that right now with Best Buy's Black Friday Xbox deals. While it's an, ahem, a far cry from my favorite Far Cry game, the sixth entry is a perfectly serviceable shooter that's certainly worth this current deal price.

UK price: Amazon - £25.40

Skull and Bones Limited Edition
Skull and Bones Limited Edition: was $49.99 now $14.99 at Best Buy

The Best Buy exclusive Skull and Bones Limited Edition is on offer now and even features a bonus mission for your trouble. We weren't huge fans of the game at launch, but this sale price definitely makes the pirate sim much more tempting. Or, just play Sea of Thieves instead.

UK price: Amazon - £14.99
