"If the holidays came and went without the new gaming console you were hoping to unwrap, Amazon is offering a solid second chance to treat yourself. Right now, you can pick up the Xbox Series X and finally experience Microsoft's most powerful console in stunning 4K. The standard retail price for the Xbox Series X has recently settled at $650, but for a limited time, Amazon is discounting it by 8%."
"When Microsoft launched the Xbox Series X alongside the Series S back in 2020, the flagship console carried a $500 price tag. That price held steady for years, which is typical for console generations. However, in May 2025, Microsoft announced a price increase, bumping the Series X up by $100 to $600. Just a few months later, the company raised the price again, pushing it to $650."
"When comparing the Xbox Series X to its more budget-friendly sibling, the Xbox Series S, the reasons for the price difference become clear. One of the biggest advantages of the Series X is its ability to run games in native 4K resolution. While both consoles support high refresh rates of up to 120 frames per second and HDR visuals, the Series X is built for players who want the sharpest image quality possible on modern displays."
Amazon is temporarily discounting the Xbox Series X by 8%, reducing its price from $650 to $600. The Series X is Microsoft’s most powerful console and supports native 4K resolution, high refresh rates up to 120 frames per second, and HDR visuals. Microsoft launched the Series X in 2020 with a $500 price that held for years before increases in May 2025 to $600 and a subsequent rise to $650. The current Amazon deal returns the console’s price to its 2025 spring and summer level. The Series X includes a disc drive and can double as a Blu-ray player for physical media.
