This Black Friday, why not treat yourself to some gaming goodness? Whether you’re eyeing a gift for yourself or planning ahead for the holiday season, Walmart has a fantastic deal that’s hard to pass up. They’re offering a significant discount on Microsoft’s high-end gaming console, slashing $50 off its regular price.
Typically, you’d find the Xbox Series X on shelves for $449, but thanks to Walmart’s Black Friday offers, you can now snag it for merely $398. This isn’t just any console; it’s a powerhouse built exclusively for gaming. Under its sleek exterior, you’ll discover a custom Zen 2 CPU with 8 Cores humming away at 3.8GHz, complemented by a custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU capable of delivering stunning 4K visuals at a lightning-fast 120FPS, provided you have a compatible TV or monitor with a variable refresh rate. Plus, with its ample 1TB storage, your favorite games will be ready to play in a blink.
This particular Xbox Series X model comes in a striking “Robot-White” finish and is the digital-only version, meaning there’s no disk drive. It’s equipped with Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1, and USB 3.1, ensuring a comprehensive gaming experience right in your living room. Even though the Series X has been around for a while, it remains a stellar choice for gamers and costs less than a mid-range PC graphics card.
One of the most appealing aspects of this console, along with the Series S, is its backward compatibility. This feature allows you to enjoy a wide range of games and accessories from previous Xbox iterations. Couple this with an Xbox Game Pass subscription, and you suddenly have access to hundreds of games, including new AAA releases right from day one. Personally, I have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which lets me seamlessly transition between my PC and Series X console. Some games even offer shared progression and saves across platforms, which is fantastic if you’re thinking of moving from your desk chair to the cozy comfort of the living room sofa to enjoy some gaming on a larger screen.
