Black Friday Xbox Series S deals have concluded for this year, with the event spanning November 24, but even though we've seen the sun set on Black Friday - we're still seeing a number of deals on the Xbox Series S pop-up. In fact, we're keeping an eye on all the Cyber Monday gaming deals that may crop up come Monday instead. 

With the console itself being the cheaper of the Xbox lineup, whenever it gets a price cut, it becomes obscenely good value - and there's precedent for this too with the console going down to record lows over the course of this year's sales. During the event, we saw a host of Series S accessories and peripherals discounted greatly. If you were in the market for one of the best Xbox controllers, best Xbox Series X headsets, or Xbox Series X hard drive and SSDs, then you may have been privy to several of the best deals available for the console and its peripherals.

There was some crossover with the Black Friday Xbox Series X deals, as both share a degree of parity, but if you're after a slimmed-down current-gen setup or want to get some accessories that are perfect for the Series S console, we are here for you with some key information, links, and of course, the deals. It's also worth checking out our Cyber Monday Xbox Series X deals which may offer more discounts.
