This Black Friday, why not treat yourself to a gaming upgrade or snag an early Christmas gift for someone special with a fantastic deal from Walmart? Through Walmart’s Black Friday deals, you can grab Microsoft’s premium gaming console and enjoy a neat $50 discount off the regular MSRP.
Typically priced at $449, the Xbox Series X is now available for just $398 during Walmart’s Black Friday sales. Engineered specifically for gaming, it boasts a custom Zen 2 CPU with 8 cores running at 3.8GHz, paired with a custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU that offers stunning 4K visuals at 120FPS when connected to a TV or monitor with variable refresh rate capabilities. Plus, with 1TB of storage, you’ll have plenty of room to install and jump into your favorite games in no time.
This edition of the Xbox Series X sports a sleek “Robot-White” finish and is a digital-only model, so there’s no disk drive. It also comes equipped with Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1, and USB 3.1 connectivity, ensuring a fully immersive gaming experience right in your living room. Though the Series X has been around for a few years, it remains a top choice for gamers, offering outstanding performance at a price that beats a mid-range PC graphics card.
One of the standout features of the Xbox Series X, and its companion, the Series S, is their backward compatibility with a multitude of games and accessories from previous Xbox generations. With a Game Pass subscription, you can access hundreds of games, including brand-new AAA releases from day one. Personally, I have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which allows me to play games on both my PC and Series X. What’s really cool is that some games share progression and save data across these platforms. This is perfect if you’re like me and enjoy kicking back in the living room, away from the PC, to play on a larger screen comfortably from the sofa.
