Prime Day Xbox One Deals Galore If you're looking for discounted games for Microsoft's aging console, you'll find some Prime Day deals But if you're looking to pick up a gaming console or high-end accessories at a discount, the prospects aren't much better

First of all, the biggest video game deals of the year are usually not on Prime Day It's also an unusual time to be selling games and consoles, as the next-generation Xbox Series X is coming out in November

As with the PS4 Prime Day deals, the best deals right now are on games and hardware The best deal at the moment is Dragon Ball Z Kakarot for $30, which is the lowest price in Amazon history, a 50% discount

Perhaps Amazon will surprise us, but given the site's current selection and Prime Day habits, we don't expect a bonanza sale on the Xbox One Last year's Black Friday saw a few console bundles, but there wasn't much in the way of memorable gaming software on Prime Day Furthermore, Amazon does not have much Xbox One inventory left

With the impending release of the Xbox Series X and Series S, the Xbox One is very much an afterthought, with Xbox head Phil Spencer saying that Xbox Game Studios' upcoming games (Halo, Forza, Gears, etc) will not be skipping Xbox for the foreseeable future Even though he has stated that the One will not be skipped, it is hard to imagine any site pushing Xbox One deals when most potential buyers are thinking about Microsoft's next generation console Perhaps there will be a discount later this year, but this is Amazon's last chance to sell the Xbox One at full price

Taking all of these items into account, most Xbox One deals are expected to be games In particular, physical games are less popular than ever, and Amazon will probably want to clear out old inventory There may also be a sale on accessories, but beware that Amazon has a bad habit of highlighting junk and second-rate accessories just because they're cheap; buy from well-known brands like Turtle Beach, SteelSeries, and HyperX

Of course, the Prime Day Xbox One deals aren't worth much if you don't have a reason to buy an Xbox One, since the Xbox Series X and Series S will be available in November, even if they offer the same first-party games as the new consoles, It is hard to justify buying an older console Both the Series X and Series S are 100% backward compatible with the entire Xbox One library, and the Xbox Series S costs only $300, exactly the same price as buying an Xbox One now

On the other hand, all Xbox One games and accessories are compatible with the Xbox Series X, making it absolutely worth it to buy Xbox One games and accessories Even better, certain new games, such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla, are eligible for Microsoft's Smart Delivery system, which allows you to upgrade to the Xbox Series X version for free
