Here are some Xbox Christmas gifts for that gamer on your list

The holiday shopping season is entering the home stretch and time is running out to find those perfect Xbox Christmas gifts for that gamer in your life. If at this point you’re still searching for Xbox related gift ideas then look no further, because we’ve got you covered with these gift ideas for Xbox fans.

Xbox Series S holiday discount

We recently saw the Xbox Series S drop to its lowest price yet for this year’s Black Friday event. But don’t worry if you missed out, because that discount has been extended through the Christmas shopping season. As of right now (December 19) you can still get the most accessible next-gen gaming console for an incredible $239.99. In other words, that’s $60 off—a 20% discount on the usual MSRP. You can find this discount at various retailers including Walmart, or you can buy from the Microsoft Store.

That’s for a next-gen console, mind you. The all-digital Xbox Series S can deliver up to 120FPS gameplay, HDR, rich 3D sound and up to 1440p resolution. It also supports ray-tracing, ultra-low latency, variable refresh rate, variable rate shading, and includes a 512GB SSD.
But really it’s all about the games, and with Series S you can access hundreds of them—from the latest next-gen blockbusters to backward-compatible titles from all three previous generations of Xbox. This includes hundreds of titles available with Xbox Game Pass.

Of course they’ll want some great games to go along with a great console, right? Lucky for them, the Countdown Sale is going on right now with hundreds of discounted games and DLC.

Xbox Gift Cards

Of course you can never go wrong with gift cards, and the rule holds true when it comes to holiday shopping for gamers. Here you can buy gift cards directly from Microsoft and they’ll simply email the code to you. These Xbox Gift Cards can be used by them to buy a gift of their own choosing, be it digital game downloads, apps, movies and TV shows, accessories like Xbox controllers, etc. They can be used at the Microsoft Store, on Windows, and on Xbox.

Xbox Game Pass

We would be remiss if we neglected to mention Xbox Game Pass here. Give the gift of the best gaming service out there, with hundreds of games in the Game Pass catalog. Buy here on the Xbox Store and simply choose the “Buy as Gift” option when adding it to your cart.
