With the holiday season fast approaching, now is a prime time to indulge in some gaming during Black Friday, or perhaps surprise a loved one with an early Christmas gift. Walmart is offering an enticing deal on Microsoft’s premium gaming console, providing you with the chance to snag it at a substantial discount of $50 off the usual price.
Usually priced at $449, the Xbox Series X can now be yours for just $398 thanks to Walmart’s Black Friday sale. Exclusively crafted for gaming enthusiasts, the Xbox Series X boasts a custom Zen 2 CPU equipped with 8 cores that clock at a swift 3.8GHz and a custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU, delivering stunning 4K visuals at 120 frames per second on TVs or monitors with a variable refresh rate. With its 1TB storage capacity, you can install your favorite games and dive into action in mere seconds.
This particular edition of the Xbox Series X comes in a sleek “Robot-White” design and is the all-digital model, meaning it doesn’t include a disk drive. It also enhances your gaming sessions with features like Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1, and USB 3.1 connectivity, making for an immersive experience right in your living room. Even though the Series X debuted a few years ago, it still stands as one of the premier ways to enjoy gaming and remains a cost-effective option compared to mid-range PC graphics cards.
Among the numerous benefits this console offers, along with its sibling the Series S, is backwards compatibility, allowing you to play a wide array of games and use accessories from earlier Xbox versions. With a Game Pass subscription, access to hundreds of games becomes possible, including new AAA titles on their release day. Personally, I hold a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which lets me play games seamlessly across my PC and Series X, with some titles even sharing game progression and saves between platforms. This feature is perfect for those moments when you want to switch from your PC to lounge comfortably in front of a larger screen in the living room.
