Xbox and Xbox Game Price Tracker: How to Score the Best Deals

Xbox and Xbox Game Price Tracker: How to Score the Best Deals

Need help buying an Xbox Series X – and for a good price?

While the console launched over 2 years ago, it’s still tricky to buy, better yet on sale – thanks to a global supply chain shortage that’s disrupted the entire electronics industry.

But Xbox Series X deals and bargains on Switch games have been on the rise, and they crop up all year long. Some of this year’s Best Black Friday deals included deals on the Xbox in the form of bundles, which included a console, games and accessories.

For the time being, patience – and staying alert to the latest sales – will have to be a necessity: it won’t be easy to come across stock and discounts for Microsoft’s new consoles.

For a good deal, gamers’ best bet of securing Xbox and Xbox game deals is to sign up with a price tracker, like Visualping.

When Xbox Series X deals do launch, stock disappears fast. Knowing as soon as sales become available is key to snatching the console – especially one for good value, in a bundle.

Price tracking tools, by automatically notifying you when the price changes, let you do just that. Visualping alerts you via email, with a screenshot of the price drop, and a link to the monitored page, so you can act fast.

Best Xbox Series X Deals: What Should I Expect Right Now?

The Console Field is Pretty Barren – But Sprouting

Beyond a few flash sales at odd retailers, the latest Xbox consoles are yet to see significant discounts on their own. Stock is low, and demand is still skyrocketing.

But that doesn’t mean finding deals on the console itself is completely out of the question. It often goes down to being at the right place, at the right time. If you’re willing to hold out for the possibility of console deals like these to launch again, then your best bet is to sign up for price drop alerts, like Visualping.

It’ll monitor any Xbox Series X or S product pages you’re interested in, and notify you when there’s a price change. Monitor numerous pages at a time to increase your odds of snagging a console on sale.

If it’s simply a restock you’re more interested in, Visualping notifies you when products are back in stock, too – and, as with price tracking – from any website you want. For example, you can use Visualping for Best Buy Xbox Series X restock alerts.

Xbox Bundle and Game Deals: Your Best Bet at a Price Cut

In terms of Xbox Series X savings, the name of the game is bundle deals, and Switch games. Especially with some of the best Xbox Series X Black Friday deals still lingering online.

Bundles offer deals on new consoles that are paired with games and accessories, for an overall price reduction. If you’re still holding out on buying a new Xbox Series X or S, and you’re looking to save, keep an eye out for the latest bundle deals to drop online, up for grabs.

Other Xbox Series X deals also feature games, and a slew of controllers, headsets, and other accessories on sale.

But whether you’re looking for a new RPG, or want to upgrade your current headset, you should stay alert and be ready to act fast; once Xbox bundle deals launch, they don’t usually last long.

Sign up with a price tracker, like Visualping, to get price drop alerts when the latest Xbox deals go live, so you’ll know early and can take advantage of the bargains you want before they run out of stock.
