Microsoft hasn’t announced any Xbox Black Friday 2026 deals yet. As of November 1, 2026 (09:00 UTC), Xbox Wire has no Black Friday post this year. The only official date so far is on the Microsoft Store deals page, which says its Black Friday sale “for 2026 runs from November 19th to November 28th”. It names no prices. Black Friday itself is Friday, November 27. Until Microsoft posts offers, here are today’s US prices, last year’s deals and Microsoft’s usual timing.
- Xbox Black Friday 2026 deals: none announced yet (checked November 1, 09:00 UTC).
- Microsoft Store sale dates: November 19 to 28. The page says you “may see discounts” on Xbox consoles, games and accessories, but it doesn’t list any.
- Prices on Microsoft Store today: Xbox Series S from $499.99, Xbox Series X from $749.99.
- Last year (2025): no money off consoles in Microsoft’s post. It had up to 75% off select Xbox games and a $1 Game Pass trial.

Xbox Series X|S prices right now (US, Microsoft Store)
These are list prices on Microsoft Store, checked November 1 at 09:00 UTC. None of them is a sale price.
| Console | Microsoft Store price | Stock at check time |
|---|---|---|
| Xbox Series S 512GB (Robot White) | $499.99 | In stock |
| Xbox Series S 1TB (Robot White) | $599.99 | In stock |
| Xbox Series X 1TB Digital (Robot White) | $749.99 | Out of stock |
| Xbox Series X 1TB with disc drive (Carbon Black) | $799.99 | Out of stock |
| Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black | $799.99 | Out of stock |
These are the prices after Microsoft’s June 25, 2026 price update. From August 1, 512GB models went up by $100 and 1TB models by $150, and the 2TB model is being discontinued. It was the second US rise since October 2025, blamed on memory and storage costs, so any 2026 discount would come off these higher prices.
Some controllers are already cheaper on Microsoft Store, but the store doesn’t call this a Black Friday deal. At check time, the Carbon Black Xbox Wireless Controller was $49.49 (the store shows “Save $15.50” off $64.99) and Robot White was $49.06. Shock Blue, Deep Pink and Pulse Red were $54.99, down from $69.99.
Xbox Game Pass prices before Black Friday
| Plan (US) | Monthly price | Trial shown on xbox.com |
|---|---|---|
| Game Pass Ultimate | $22.99 | $1.00 for 14 days |
| Game Pass Premium | $14.99 | $1.00 for 14 days |
| PC Game Pass | $13.99 | $1.00 for 14 days |
| Game Pass Essential | $9.99 | Not shown on the page |
Prices are from the Game Pass store page and Microsoft’s store catalog, checked November 1. Last year’s Black Friday Game Pass deal was also 14 days for $1, so today’s trial already matches it. For this month’s games, see our Xbox Game Pass November 2026 list.

When will Microsoft announce Xbox Black Friday deals?
Microsoft hasn’t given a date for its Xbox Wire post. In the last four years it went up between November 15 and 20:
