Looking to treat yourself or someone special this holiday season? Walmart’s Black Friday deals have got you covered with an irresistible offer on Microsoft’s premium gaming console. You can snag the Xbox Series X, typically priced at $449, for only $398. It’s a fantastic way to either indulge your gaming passions or surprise a loved one with an early gift.
The Xbox Series X is a powerhouse designed exclusively for gaming enthusiasts. It’s equipped with a custom Zen 2 CPU that boasts 8 cores running at 3.8GHz, paired with a custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU capable of delivering stunning 4K visuals at 120FPS, provided you’ve got a compatible TV or monitor with a variable refresh rate. With its generous 1TB of storage, you can install a plethora of games and have them ready to play in no time.
This particular version of the Xbox Series X sports a sleek “Robot-White” color and is digital-only, meaning it doesn’t include a disk drive. It also supports Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1, and USB 3.1, ensuring you get a fully immersive gaming experience right in your living room. Despite being on the market for a few years now, the Series X remains one of the best consoles for experiencing games at their full potential. Plus, it’s more budget-friendly than investing in a mid-range PC graphics card.
A couple of other standout features of the Series X, shared with the Series S, are its backward compatibility and the array of games accessible through Game Pass. With Game Pass, you can dive into hundreds of games and enjoy new AAA releases on launch day. Personally, I find the Game Pass Ultimate subscription to be a game-changer. It lets me play on both my PC and the Series X, with some titles offering shared progress and save data across these platforms. It’s a stellar option for those moments when you want to switch from the desk to the couch and enjoy your games on a bigger screen.
