Xbox One and 360 owners looking to get some new games for the holidays will want to take a look at the Xbox Store.

A new Xbox Store sale is currently offering discounts on numerous titles, including some games that were released just this year.

The sale itself will run from Dec. 22 all the way through to Jan. 7, Polygon reported.

The entirety of the sale will break down into two weeks.

The first week of the Xbox Store sale has already started, and it is scheduled to end on Dec. 28.

After the first week of the Xbox Store sale ends, folks can look forward to another week of deals, beginning Dec. 29. The second week of the Xbox Store sale will then wrap up on Jan. 7, 2016.

Xbox One and 360 owners can also look forward to Daily Deals being made available from now up until the last day of the year.

Xbox Live Gold members will also receive an additional 10 percent discount on the games that are on sale, so those looking to get a lot of new titles this holiday season may want to consider signing up, according to Major Nelson.

As for the games themselves, there's a title for just about every type of gamer.

Xbox One owners who may have held off on getting "Halo 5" can now purchase the game for $47.99 if they also have a subscription to Xbox Live Gold.

Another notable 2015 release, "Rise of the Tomb Raider," is also on sale for $40.19 to Xbox Live Gold members.

Players who want to find out more about the critically-acclaimed "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" are in luck since the game is also part of the sale. Intrigued players can take advantage of as high as a 50 percent discount for "The Witcher 3" thanks to the ongoing Xbox Store sale.

Xbox 360 titles such as "Dishonored" and "Fable III" are also available at significantly discounted prices.

These are just a few of the games that are included in the Xbox Store sale.

More Xbox Store deals will likely be announced in the coming days.
