The best Xbox game deals are a fantastic way to expand your Xbox game library without breaking the bank. With a huge variety of fantastic games spanning a wide range of genres available on both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, there's bound to be something to suit your personal preferences. To save you time trawling retailer websites, we've rounded up all the best offers on the best Xbox games all in one place. 

Even with the formidable success of Xbox Game Pass, the game subscription service doesn't offer access to everything available on the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S. You might even prefer buying physical copies for your personal collection, especially since titles can sometimes disappear from the Xbox Game Pass library without much warning. 

In order to give yourself the best possible gaming experience, we also recommend picking up one of the best monitors for Xbox Series X or one of the best Xbox controllers too.

The cheapest Xbox game deals in 2024 - FAQs

What are some of the best Xbox Series X games right now?

Some of the best Xbox Series X games you can play right now include Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, Forza Horizon 5, and Halo Infinite. While the console doesn't quite have the same list of exclusives as you'll find on competing hardware, there's still a great wealth to experience, especially if you're a Game Pass subscriber. 

How often do Xbox games go on sale?

Exclusive Xbox game sales are a little rarer than cross-platform titles, which are regularly on sale from around a month after release. You'll usually find some Xbox game deals hitting these first-party releases, but the discounts themselves won't be as steep. 

We usually see Xbox game deals popping up around big Microsoft releases and Xbox press conferences, during annual summer and holiday sales events, and after certain titles leave the Game Pass system.

How we choose the best Xbox game deals

We like to search for the best Xbox game deals across two key criteria. Firstly, we endeavor to hunt for recently-released games that are either receiving their first discount, or are currently listed at a particularly impressive price. The same then applies to the console's best games, which either remain popular to this day or are simply must-play titles for the system. 

We search across a range of online retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart in the US, as well as Argos, Game, Very and Currys in the UK.
