Top Xbox Games for Black Friday 2024 Announced

Microsoft’s Black Friday 2024 Xbox sales event has brought to light which games are flying off the virtual shelves. Leading the charge are NBA 2K25, EA Sports Madden NFL 25, and EA Sports FC 25. Gamers can snag these top-sellers at half price or better, thanks to the ongoing Xbox Black Friday promotion, a sale that’s running straight through to December 2.

While the major discounts have been rolling out since mid-November, they’ll stay available until Cyber Monday. Throughout the latter half of November, Microsoft’s digital marketplace has been unveiling fresh discounts, making it a treasure trove for Xbox enthusiasts seeking deals.

A glimpse into the “Top Paid” section of the Microsoft Store reveals what’s trending right now. According to Pure Xbox, the aforementioned sports games are dominating sales in the U.S. market. With the Black Friday cuts offering over $100 in savings, it’s no wonder these titles are flying off the digital shelves.

Moving beyond the sports category, the top 10 list continues to showcase the genre’s stronghold. In fact, six of these best-sellers are sports-related. The notable exception in the top five is Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar’s 2018 masterpiece is a testament to enduring quality, maintaining an impressive sales trajectory with over 67 million copies sold to date.

Another Rockstar classic, GTA 5, finds itself sixth on the chart, with other strong contenders like Hogwarts Legacy, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, MLB The Show 24, and WWE 2K24 following on its heels. MLB The Show 24 stands out with a steep 85% price cut, bringing it down to a mere $10.49.

This ensemble of deals promises a total saving of $377.10 and will be available until December 2, giving gamers a chance to grab some fantastic offers. Interestingly, many of the crowd-pleasers from the Xbox Halloween 2024 sale have reappeared in this Black Friday bonanza, adding to the excitement.

As for hardware enthusiasts, the Xbox Series X Digital is the shining star, designed to deliver Microsoft’s impressive Game Pass library with smooth 4K and 120 fps capabilities. Dressed in sleek robot white, this digital edition of Microsoft’s flagship console doesn’t just meet the standards–it sets them, thanks to its 1TB SSD and Xbox Wireless Controller with a Share Button. It truly represents the pinnacle of gaming in style and performance, providing a seamless experience for both new and seasoned players.
