Xbox Store Black Friday 2016 deals: discounts expected for Xbox consoles, games, accessories

Microsoft is one of the busiest companies gearing up for the upcoming Black Friday shopping craze, and with the tradition taking place a few days from now, all eyes are on the Xbox Store, with gaming fans hoping to find great deals, starting with the Xbox One game console, down to discounted video game titles and console accessories.

According to Tech Times, there's a chance for everyone to get as much as 50 percent in savings when buying Xbox One games while purchasing the console itself could amount to about $50 in price cuts.

For one, expect some pretty good deals for the Xbox One S, as the same publication noted. For instance, the regular price of $299 will be $50 less on Black Friday. Not only that, there also are retailers that offer gift cards and a free video game of their choosing. Accordingly, this bundle will be available from Nov. 24 to 28.

Furthermore, Mobile Syrup talked about the discounted games as well as the number of expected deals for the Xbox platform. Citing Microsoft in its report, the publication said that there will be more than 250 deals, all in all, covering both Xbox One and the older Xbox 360 console.

The ones who can get the most are subscribers of the Xbox Live Gold program, where additional discounts are to be handed out on top of the standard deductions. For example, the recently launched first-person shooter, "Battlefield 1" gives regular buyers a 25 percent discount on the original price, while Gold members are to get a much better 33 percent discount. The same trend goes for all other titles covered by the Xbox Store Black Friday deals, including but not limited to "NBA 2K17," "FIFA 17," "Red Dead Redemption," "Call of Duty: Black Ops," "Madden 17," "Skate 3" and others.
