If you’re on the hunt for a fantastic gaming deal this Black Friday, look no further than Walmart. Whether you’re treating yourself or ticking off an early Christmas gift for a fellow gamer, this offer on Microsoft’s premier gaming console is hard to beat. Walmart’s Black Friday specials are slicing $50 off the regular price, putting the Xbox Series X within easier reach.
Usually, the Xbox Series X sits at the $449 mark, but in this sale, it’s available for just $398. This console isn’t just built to play games; it’s a powerhouse crafted for an exceptional gaming experience. Under the hood, it boasts a custom Zen 2 CPU with 8 cores clocked at 3.8GHz, alongside a custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU that can deliver stunning 4K visuals at up to 120 frames per second, given you have a compatible variable refresh rate TV or monitor. Plus, with 1TB of storage, your games can be downloaded and ready to play almost instantly.
This particular Xbox Series X model comes in a sleek “Robot-White” finish and is a digital-only version, meaning there’s no disc drive. It’s equipped with Dolby Atmos for immersive sound, HDMI 2.1, and USB 3.1 connectivity, ensuring a full-fledged gaming experience right in your living room. Although the Series X isn’t fresh off the assembly line, it still stands as a stellar way to dive into gaming, often costing less than a mid-range PC graphics card.
Among its standout features is backward compatibility, allowing you to enjoy an array of games and accessories from past Xbox generations. Pair that with a Game Pass subscription, and you have access to hundreds of games, including brand-new, first-day releases of the latest blockbuster titles. Personally, my Game Pass Ultimate subscription lets me switch seamlessly between gaming on my PC and my Series X. Some games even support cross-progression and shared saves across platforms, making it effortless to move from desk to couch and enjoy HD gaming on your big screen TV.
