The Xbox One’s subscription service Game Pass is one of the most exciting things in video games right now, with a huge library of games for the Xbox One and/or PC for a monthly fee a la Netflix. In recent weeks, there have been some great deals on Game Pass, but with Black Friday is just around the corner, we expect even greater discounts on Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and Xbox Live Gold to pop up in the coming weeks.

Additionally, Xbox is slated to reveal its full selection of Black Friday deals on November 14 at its X019 event in London. The Inside Xbox livestream is scheduled for 12 PM PT / 3 PM PT that day, and you’ll be able to tune in on Mixer, Twitch, or YouTube.

For those unfamiliar with the Xbox One’s subscription services, you can find more details on Game Pass for Xbox One and PC, Xbox Live Gold, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at the bottom of this article. As a reminder, these subscriptions stack, so even if you’re already a member and don’t need to renew quite yet, you can save yourself some money in the long-term by buying these subscriptions while they’re cheap.

Plus, catch up on more of Black Friday 2019’s best Xbox One deals so far, including great discounts on games as well as console bundles and accessories.

Best Black Friday deals on Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: Buy 3 months, get 3 months free | $45 ($90)

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate normally costs $15 a month, which adds up to $90 over six months, but this offer effectively gets you a six-month membership for half price. This is the best deal we’ve seen for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate so far, and it’s available right now for a limited time. Please note that if you’re a new subscriber, you can currently get your first month for $1, so be sure to claim that offer first.

Xbox Live Gold: 3-month membership | $15 ($25)

Starting November 28, Best Buy is selling three months of Xbox Live Gold for $15, a full $10 off its normal price of $25.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: 3-month membership | $25 ($45)

Best Buy will have three-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions for $25 each on November 28. If you happen to miss out on the “buy three months, get three months free” deal at Walmart, then this is the next best thing–buy two, and you’ll have a six-month subscription for $50 (only $5 more).

What is Xbox Game Pass?

Xbox Game Pass for Console

Xbox Game Pass for Console provides access to over 200 Xbox One games. New games are added to the service every month, and users get special discounts on the ones that are leaving just in case players want to keep them. In addition to all this, first-party Xbox One games always launch on Game Pass day one–this has included games like Gears 5, The Outer Worlds, and Forza Horizon 4. It costs $10 a month to join Game Pass for Xbox One.

Xbox Game Pass for PC provides access to over 150 PC games through the Xbox app on Windows 10. Like the console version, new games are added every month, and special discounts are available in case you want to keep any games on their way out. First-party Xbox One games launch on PC the same day as console, so you gain access to them as well. You can join Game Pass for PC at $1 for the first month, after which the price goes up to $5 a month.

What is Xbox Live Gold?

Xbox Live Gold provides access to online multiplayer, exclusive discounts, and free monthly games. You can subscribe to Xbox Live Gold for $10 a month, $25 for 3 months, or $60 for a year.

We’re only a year away from new consoles, but there are still plenty of reasons to pick up an Xbox One and any of its numerous accessories, especially with Black Friday and Cyber Monday just around the corner. Since Microsoft is working on making Project Scarlett backward-compatible, you can expect almost everything you buy for the Xbox One to work with the company’s next-gen console when it releases next holiday season. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are expected to bring in a load of new sales and discounts on Xbox consoles and accessories, so it’ll be a great time to upgrade to an Xbox One X or even buy a new controller or two.

Black Friday 2019: Xbox One deals to expect

We’re expecting every edition of Xbox One–be it X or S–to be discounted, in addition to its various controllers and accessories. If there’s stock, it’ll likely be on sale. Last year, we saw deals that brought the Xbox One X down to $400–$100 off its regular price. According to early Black Friday 2019 ads, Xbox One X bundles will dip to $350 during this year’s sale. It’ll be interesting to see just how low Microsoft’s first 4K console goes, considering the next-generation Xbox console is now just a year away from release. Meanwhile, Xbox One S bundles are going for $200, and the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition will be available for just $150 during Black Friday.

As for accessories, it’s likely we’ll see numerous discounts, including the first edition of the Xbox One Elite Controller. The Elite Series 2 controller just released, but since it is a premium item, don’t expect to see a heavy discount on it. Of course, we’re always ready for a Black Friday surprise, and we’ll report back if this changes.

A large number of Black Friday Xbox One discounts are expected to be revealed at Xbox’s X019 event on November 14. The Inside Xbox livestream is scheduled for 12 PM PT / 3 PM PT that day, and you’ll be able to tune in on Mixer, Twitch, or YouTube. When those deals are announced, we’ll be sure to include that info here.

In the meantime, there are plenty of pre-Black Friday deals going live early, so you might be able to grab what you want before the craziness of Black Friday actually starts. Below, we’ve collected some of the best early Black Friday deals that are already live at online retailers like Amazon and Walmart. Plus, read on for an overview of the best upcoming Xbox deals that have been confirmed by various retailers’ ads.
