There are a few different points in the year that feature some great sale events, offering excellent discounts on a variety of gaming-related items. Memorial Day weekend is one of those times and usually has quite a few deals for Xbox fans to enjoy. Whether you’re looking for deals on games or controllers or storage, there’s plenty to check out at numerous different retailers.
While we don’t know what exactly will be hitting those virtual sale shelves this year, we can take a good look at previous years to see what could be making a comeback. Below, you can also find information on when Memorial Day lands this year, how long sales will last, and when the next big sale event will be that you can mark your calendar for.
Best Xbox Deals Today
While Memorial Day lands on Monday, May 27, some of the sales start up a bit earlier. Sometimes even a week before, but that depends entirely on the retailer. Places like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart will put up a notice on their respective websites stating when their sale event begins and how long it will last for, so it's worth checking out your preferred site to see when the best time to buy is.
It's also worth noting that some of these retailers offer early access to sale events through their respective memberships. Though that hasn't been confirmed yet at one of their locations for this one, it's still worth keeping in mind. Places like Walmart, for example, offer this through their Walmart+ membership and you can even score a free 30-day trial to test it out! They're also offering some excellent bonus offers right now that you can take advantage of, like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for two months for free, a three-month trial of YouTube Premium for free, five months of Apple Music for free, and more.
Based on previous years, there are quite a few different Xbox deals that could pop up again this year. Xbox video game deals will absolutely come back around, but last year saw various expansion cards go on sale and there's a very good chance that Xbox controllers will be discounted as well. We'll make sure to update this piece with the best Xbox deals as they appear, but if you simply can't wait for Memorial Day weekend and want to see what the best deals are right now, make sure to have a look at our roundup of the best Xbox deals.
While some sales will just run through the three-day weekend, others can extend a few days after, which is nice if you're feeling on a tight schedule of picking up your favorite deals. Again, this entirely depends on the retailer, so it's worth checking out your preferred shop to see what their sale event plans are.
Summer is a great time to shop around as there are a wide variety of sale events that go on over those months. You won't even have to wait too long for the next one, as June usually sees some big Summer gaming sales very early on. With IGN Live and Summer Game Fest kicking the festivities off this year in June, there will likely be a sale that happens around that time on each platform's store. IGN Live will run from June 7-9 in LA and SGF's big livestream event will kick off on June 7 at 2pm PT/5pm ET/10pm GMT, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled around this time to see what the Xbox Store has up its sleeve.
Not long after these events will be Amazon Prime Day, which is an excellent time for Prime members to scope out deals they may have missed over Memorial Day weekend. While we don't know the exact dates for it this year, if it follows the pattern of previous years, it'll likely land around the second week of July.
If you want to see even more deals outside of Xbox, check out our roundups of the best PlayStation deals, the best Nintendo Switch deals, and the best PC video game deals.
