The biggest shopping holiday of the summer, Amazon Prime Day, is just around the corner on July 16-17. Ahead of all the early Xbox Series X Prime Day deals we're expecting to see in the next few days, there are already a few great discounts to peruse--including price cuts on video games, headsets, controllers, and more. If you haven't picked up an Xbox console yet, consider taking a look at the Xbox Series S (1TB), which is available for a generous price drop ahead of Prime Day. You can also pick up the Xbox Series X Diablo 4 Bundle, and now is a good time to dive in, as the Vessel of Hatred expansion arrives later this year. If you already have a console, you'll find a handful of games on sale, including Elden Ring and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Some of the best Xbox deals ahead of Prime Day are for controllers and headsets. Several versions of the Xbox Wireless Controller are discounted, as is the premium Xbox Elite Series 2. You'll even find great options from 8BitDo and ASUS on sale, giving you plenty of options to choose from. There's a lot more to discuss than the few items listed above, so we've pulled together all the best Xbox Series X deals below. Be sure to also check out our round-ups of even more early Prime Day sale, and keep tabs on our Prime Day Hub for all the latest discounts. Amazon Prime Day 2024 Early Deals
Xbox Wireless Controllers
If you need a new gamepad, it's hard to go wrong with the standard Xbox Wireless Controller. Plenty of styles are discounted ahead of Prime Day, including Robot White and Carbon Black, as well as flashier designs like Shock Blue. Here's a look at all the price cuts available right now.
Xbox Elite Series 2 Controllers
The Elite Series 2 is one of the best controllers for competitive gaming, and right now you can snag it for one of the best prices of the year. Along with adjustable triggers and thumbsticks, it comes with tons of swappable components--making it easy to build a controller that fits your needs. For something just as premium but with fewer swappable parts, be sure to take a look at the Elite Series 2 Core.
ASUS ROG Raikiri
A nice alternative to the Elite Series 2 is the ASUS ROG Raikiri. This is available in two formats. The more affordable version gets you back buttons, adjustable triggers, customizable lighting, and premium buttons that are great for fast-paced multiplayer games. Step up to the Raikiri Pro, and you'll add a built-in OLED display that lets you quickly check your settings or swap profiles.
8BitDo Controllers
As far as third-party controllers are concerned, it's hard to beat 8BitDo. The company has been churning out reliable (and affordable) gamepads for years, and many of them are discounted ahead of Prime Day. This includes the 8BitDo Ultimate with Charging Dock, the officially licensed Arcade Stick, and the retro-inspired M30 Wired Controller.
8BitDo Dual Charging Dock
Arguably the worst part of the standard Xbox controller is its requirement for AA batteries. Consider righting that wrong with the 8BitDo Charging Dock, which comes with two rechargeable battery packs and a docking station that holds two controllers. Not only will it save you money on batteries over the years, but it helps keep your gamepads charged and ready for your next gaming session.
SteelSeries Arctis Headsets
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro is one of our favorite Xbox headsets, offering hot-swappable batteries for unlimited runtime, support for Spatial Audio, impressive noise cancellation, and premium drivers that can properly reproduce booming explosions or the softest of footsteps. It's discounted right now, as are a handful of other great SteelSeries headsets. Here are the best ones to check out.
Astro A50 Wireless Headset
$210 ($300) With support for Dolby Atmos, flip-to-mute microphone, supportive headband, and several EQ modes to find the best sound for every game, the Astro A50 Wireless Headset is a nice companion for Xbox Series X. It's usually quite expensive at $300, but the premium headset is seeing a generous discount right now.
Turtle Beach Stealth Pro Wireless Headset
$253 ($330) The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro is one of the most expensive headsets of 2024. However, it's now seeing a big price cut ahead of Prime Day, making this a good time to add it to your collection. Along with a comfortable (and eye-catching) design, it gets you loud 50mm drivers, great noise cancellation, advanced EQ options, and a boom mic that captures crisp audio. There's a lot more to love about the headset, so be sure to give it a look while it's down to one of the best prices of the year.
Razer Kaira Pro Wireless Headset
$88 ($150) At less than $100, the Razer Kaira Pro is a solid option. Its slim and streamlined design makes it comfortable for long gaming sessions, while its 50mm drivers and hyperclear supercardioid microphone make it easy to chat with teammates. There's also a dedicated EQ and Xbox Pairing button, making it easy to get up and running without much fuss.
Xbox Console Deals
Pick up the Xbox Series S (1TB) for $350 (down from $380) ahead of Prime Day. Or, snag the Xbox Series X Diablo 4 Bundle, which gets you both the console and hit ARPG. And with Diablo 4 getting its first DLC later this year, now is a good time to dive into the hellish action.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
If you're looking for a quick and cheap way to gain access to hundreds of games, it's hard to beat Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Membership is currently discounted, giving you a chance to add a one or three-month subscription to your account for cheap. Keep in mind that Game Pass Ultimate gets you not just games on Xbox, but also PC and mobile games, as well as access to online multiplayer.
Xbox Games
Prefer to actually own games instead of relying on a monthly subscription? Then you'll be glad to know tons of titles are on sale leading up to Prime Day. Hit games like Elden Ring and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are on sale, making it easy to fill up your game room for cheap. Here are some of our favorite price cuts.
