Alright console gamers, we know you hate PC but right now it's time to pick up that mouse and start scrolling through Black Friday deals.

Historically November is one of the best periods to buy a new games console, especially when it comes to the Xbox Series X.

Last year, the Microsoft console was reduced by a whole £120, taking it down to one of its lowest prices yet, so we're keeping our ear to the ground for a similar deal this year.

In the meantime, there are already plenty of bundles and savings on games and additional Xbox controllers, so you can already start shopping around for Christmas presents.

According to our Gaming Editor Rob Leane: "The Xbox (Series X and S) has the market-leading subscription service in Xbox Game Pass." He expects that this service will also see some discounts throughout the season, on big-name games like the new Call of Duty, or those from indie developers.

So, if you feel the time has come to buy a new console, here's what you need to know.

For more savings, here's when is Black Friday, the Currys early Black Friday sale, the Sky Black Friday deals and will the PS5 Slim be discounted for Black Friday? Plus Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals.

When is the Xbox Black Friday sale?

The Xbox Series X sale has already begun, although they have yet to announce any official deals on the Xbox Series X.

Instead, the Xbox Black Friday sale currently centres around deals on games and accessories. You can find up to 55% off games and 20% off controllers. Plus, you can get £40 off the Xbox Series S.

Which UK retailers have Xbox Series X Black Friday sales?

In case stocks run out, here's everywhere you can get the Xbox Series X:

Best Xbox Black Friday deals at a glance

Best Xbox Black Friday deals we've spotted so far in UK sales

Xbox Series X (Disc) | £479 £459 (save £20 or 4%)

Xbox Series X console
Amazon

What's the deal: As of 22nd November, the Xbox Series X Disc Edition has been reduced by £20, taking the price to £459.

However the cheapest price available on the Xbox Series X is the Digital edition for £423.

Plus, at Very you can get up to £210 off when you trade in an old device, or, and if you're not worried about a few bumps or scratches, you can pick up a refurbished model from £419 at Amazon and MusicMagpie.

Why we chose it: You can never guarantee the mainstream consoles like the Xbox will go on sale. Last year they set a good precedent by dropping the 1TB Series X by £120, however it looks like it's going to be a lot less this year so we'd recommend going with the £20 deal.

Xbox Series S | £249.99 £199.99 (save £50 or 20%)

What's the deal: Part of the official Xbox Black Friday sales is a £40 saving on the Xbox Series S, this can be found at John Lewis and Very but we've also found a better £50 saving over at Amazon.

Why we chose it: Here's what gaming editor Rob Leane had to say: "The good thing about Series S is that it’s small and lightweight and they have Cloud Save, so if I play something on the S it can save and also show up on the X."
