You can get an Xbox Series S for less than £200 for Black Friday

Microsoft made the bold choice to launch two next-gen consoles two years ago, a powerful, full-priced Xbox Series X, and a cut-down version of the console, the Xbox Series S. The Series S was already a good deal for a new-gen console at its £250 price point, but for Black Friday, you can grab the console for under £200. 

The Xbox Series S isn't as powerful as the Series X, so most games don't target 4K and instead will run at 1080p or 1440p. While some games have more limited performance/graphics capabilities, many still do offer a 60FPS option even on the cheaper console.

For Black Friday, Amazon UK is dropping the price of the Xbox Series S by £60, bringing it down to £189.99. That extra money can be used to pick up new games, but do keep in mind that the Series S is a digital-only console, so perhaps a 3-month or 6-month Xbox Game Pass code would be a good way to use the extra money too.

The Xbox Series X doesn't look to be getting a price drop this year. However, if you have a good internet connection, you can use Xbox Cloud Gaming on the Series S, which taps into Series X servers, thus granting you access to higher graphics and performance options.

KitGuru Says: At under £200, the Series S is going to sell a ton this holiday season. It might not be as powerful as the Series X, but it will play all the same games and serves as a cheap jumping-on point to new-gen console gaming.

SplitGate team reportedly developing a Titanfall successor

1047 Games found a ton of success back in 2019 when they released SplitGate: a fun and fast-paced arena shooter in the vein of classic Halo, while adding a twist in the form of portals which players could place around the map for strategic plays. While its sequel has failed to make the same level of splash, the team are apparently working on a brand new game – this one being inspired by Titanfall.
