If you’ve been meaning to pick up an Xbox Series X but weren’t able to grab one on Black Friday, good news: Walmart has a bundle that pairs the powerful console with a digital copy of the action-RPG Diablo IV on sale for $349. That’s the largest discount we’ve tracked and a full $151 off the Series X’s normal going rate. The game, meanwhile, normally goes for $70. This price also tops the best deals we’ve seen for the device over the past week; on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the bundle mostly sat at $440.
If the bundle runs out of stock — and given the extent of the discount, we expect it will fairly quickly — Walmart and Amazon also have the console alone on sale for the same $349. But again, you’ll likely want to move fast to secure the deal.
As a refresher, the Series X is Microsoft’s highest-end Xbox; it packs a stronger GPU and 6GB more RAM than the less expensive Series S, allowing it to play demanding games at higher frame rates and resolutions more consistently. It also comes with a disc drive and 1TB of storage as default. Microsoft has had some struggles producing first-party hits, but Xbox Game Pass remains one of the better values in gaming if you like to sample a wide range of titles, and the Xbox library is still home to plenty of games we like. Diablo IV isn’t necessarily one of those, but it could still be worthwhile if you’re in the mood for a “numbers go up” dungeon crawler.
Hanging over every Xbox deal right now is a massive court document leak from September that included details of a potential Series X refresh, which could arrive sometime in 2024 and omit a disc drive altogether. Still, if you want to jump on the Xbox bandwagon today, the current Series X remains a strong value when it’s discounted to this extent.
