Best Xbox Accessories for Cyber Monday 2025 — Discounts on everything from controllers and headsets to storage and Xbox Game Pass

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate got a big price hike a few months ago, but for Cyber Monday Amazon is running a sale on one month time cards, saving you a third on the usual price. This gives you access to maximum-quality Xbox Cloud Gaming, the entire XGP catalog of 400+ games, day one access to Call of Duty and other Xbox titles, as well as things like Fortnite Crew and all Riot game characters.

The notoriously pricy Xbox Seagate Storage Expansion cards are all currently on sale, ranging from 1TB all the way up to a huge $120 saving on the 4TB model. These storage cards are essentially plug and play, just stick them in the back of your Xbox Series X|S and you'll immediately have additional storage. It also makes moving game content between devices easy, too. I've had mine since launch and have never had any issues whatsoever.

This is a truly great deal on one of the best-value rechargeable battery makers out there. I'm always weary to recommend aftermarket rechargeable batteries for Xbox controllers because cheaper options have a tendency to, well, explode. But PowerA isn't a no-name brand here. The firm has built up a good reputation for reliable, albeit cheaper accessories for Xbox, and its charge kits continue that trend. These also met Microsoft's official "Licensed for Xbox" branding. The battery life is solid at around 20~ hours per charge at 1100 mAh. The cells probably won't last forever, but at this price point you could do way worse, and PowerA sells them separately to boot. It's far cheaper than chewing through AAs in perpetuum either way. There are both single and dual-charge models available up there.

I've been using Elgato capture cards for years and years at this point and have reviewed virtually every model. This is the the culmination of everything Elgato has learned over the years, delivering something that has required virtually zero tweaks to perfect at the user's end. If you want to capture Xbox gameplay for streaming or YouTube, look no further than this great deal.

My Elgato 4K S review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

The Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is usually a pricy boy, but this "Core" model is now showing a cut price on Amazon this Cyber Monday. What's the difference with the Core model? Well, it doesn't come with the carry case and charger. However, you can buy an Xbox Elite charger aftermarket for just over $10 to pair with this. Over time, it should work out cheaper than buying a standard controller with replaceable batteries. The battery life alone on the Elite Controller makes it worthwhile considering. And you can buy back paddles and other accessories separately for less.

Need a player two? The standard Xbox Wireless Controller is currently on sale for 38% off, netting you a tidy saving on a variety of standard colors. The Xbox Wireless Controller supports Bluetooth, making it compatible with devices like the Amazon Fire Stick, phones, and TVs, and lets you bring your own batteries on top.

While I was searching for deals, I couldn't help but notice this absolutely excellent limited edition controller was not only still in stock, but actually on sale at Best Buy. The DOOM: The Dark Ages Xbox controller is one of the best custom designs in a long line of custom controllers from Microsoft, and well worth considering if you missed it the first time around.

Need a more affordable "player two" and don't mind a cable? "Cheap" controllers are usually trash, but GameSir actually made one that fits the bill, and in a couple of ways it's even better than the official Xbox controller. For player two, you don't want to be screwing around with batteries and the like (or maybe even player one). The long cable ensures you're never without power. It has Hall Effect sticks and triggers too, eliminating drift. It's lightweight, ergonomic, and has a high-quality feel despite the price. Definitely consider this. I use it mainly when docking my Xbox Ally.

Wait, isn't this the same as the above controller? Well, not quite. This "G7" controller takes the experience a step further by adding back buttons, as well as improved materials. Back buttons are a boon for competitive play, allowing you to do things like jump and activate abilities without having to take your fingers off the joysticks. In games like Overwatch and Call of Duty, it can save your life. It's up to you whether or not you think you need that, of course.

Our GameSir G7 Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

For those looking to take their Forza experience to the next level, the Logitech G920 is arguably the greatest high-quality "entry" option for those who want to upgrade from the toy-like options at lower price regions. This model is down significantly over its RRP, making it a great option for Cyber Monday.

The Backbone One is probably the best "affordable" Xbox Cloud Gaming controller. Unlike the more expensive Pro, it doesn't come with Bluetooth as an option, relying entirely on direct USB-C. It also doesn't sport programmable back buttons. However, it produces a sizeable saving by reducing the frills.

Our Backbone One review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

The Razer Kishi Ultra really is the "Ultra"-mode option for those seeking an Xbox / NVIDIA cloud-capable mobile controller. This large option gives you full ergonomic tilt over other more "travel"-sized options, complete with support for even small tablets like the iPad Mini. If you want to move away from smaller screens for your remote play set up, look no further.

My Razer Kishi Ultra review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

The Backbone Pro is arguably the best and most ergonomic smartphone gamepad, compatible with almost any USB-C capable phone. In addition, this also supports Bluetooth, so you can use it as a regular controller on top. It's ideal for Xbox remote play, NVIDIA GFN, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, and it's got a decent saving for Cyber Monday.

My Backbone Pro review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

I've tried a lot of "gaming earbuds" and found that they usually came up short, either with connectivity issues, software quirks, or degraded audio. The SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds (Xbox/PC/Bluetooth) changed all that. With great audio quality, a supremely comfortable fit, and great battery life, the Gamebuds might even replace your Samsung or Apple earbuds. They sure as heck replaced mine.

My Arctis Gamebuds review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The first gaming headset I ever reviewed was a Turtle Beach headset, and it has been fun watching the firm chase perfection over the years. The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 (Gen 3) is arguably the closest the firm has ever come to that, delivering a headset that feels premium while sitting in a far more affordable price range. This is the headset I recommend to anyone looking to step above the entry level.

My Stealth 700 (Gen 3) review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When the first version of the official Xbox Wireless Headset launched, I wasn't particularly impressed with it. The audio quality wasn't fantastic, and the headset had some software bugs to boot. The latest version is a big improvement, however, offering solid entry-level wireless audio for casual use, with good connectivity and build quality. It won't blow you away, but neither will its affordable price point.

My Xbox Wireless Headset review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I somehow missed that this was on sale earlier. The Astro A50 is the king of convenience, incorporating a handy charge dock to ensure you're never out of juice. You can connect both Xbox and PC simultaneously here, and also throw in Bluetooth devices for good measure. Great audio, the A50 has been an Xbox headset staple for years and years, and the Gen 5 model is on sale for Cyber Monday!

My Astro A50 Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro was my go-to headset for years and years, owing to its versatility. You can connect two USB-C devices with this, and feed another Bluetooth device on top. The retractable mic makes it an option for lifestyle use, and the handy DAC is a great tool for desk-based gamers. Hot swappable batteries seal the deal.

My Arctis Nova Pro review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

There are better headsets out there these days, but for a long time the LS50X was my go-to mid-range recommendation for most people. It's not mind-blowing, but it's supremely comfortable and has very capable audio, even if it doesn't have the bells and whistles of some of its similarly priced cousins. If you enjoy the design (complete with detachable mic), it could be a worthy option at this price point for Xbox, PC, and mobile use with Bluetooth. Just be sure to update the firmware.

My LS50X review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

I'm lucky enough to have a variety of headsets to choose from thanks to my job, but if I was looking for a $100~ range option, this Cyber Monday deal would be really tough to beat. This is a mid-ranger kind of headset with broad compatibility for a variety of devices, focused mainly on Xbox. The audio is decent albeit not spectacular, but it arguably becomes killer at this price point.

Our Razer BlackShark V2 Pro review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's PINK! HyperX headsets have been arguably the best-value wired gaming headsets for a long time, with robust construction, punchy audio, and a famously broad soundscape. Combined with Dolby Atmos or Windows Sonic, they can be supremely cinematic, and they often enjoy great sales during events like Cyber Monday. If you were looking to grab a gift for that gamer in your life who prefers their tech to look a bit prettier, this could be a good option. It works across Xbox, PC, and anything with a 3.5mm wired socket.

This is probably the best headset deal on the list if you don't care about wireless. The HyperX Cloud III is a fantastic headset that earns its "cloud" namesake by being incredibly lightweight and airy to wear across long sessions. Its dual-chamber design gives it a cavernous soundscape, which boosts positional awareness without sacrificing cinematic quality. With this Cyber Monday deal, this is probably the best headset you can get stepping outside of the "hyper budget" range, and should be your first consideration.
Our HyperX Cloud III Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

If you're an Xbox Ally owner, the JSAUX Slim carry case is now available. It's much cheaper than the official one from ASUS, and its hard shell is reassuringly robust for those looking to store their pricy Xbox handheld securely.

While I haven't used this dock myself, it comes recommended by most people on the /r/XboxAlly subreddit and Xbox Ally Discord. This vertical configuration has support for all the ports you could need on the Xbox Ally, and its raised profile makes it a better overall fit than the IVANKY option I linked below.

While this deal seems to be for Prime members only, it is the dock I personally use for my Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X. Most of the docks aren't designed with the Xbox Ally grips in mind (including this one honestly), but its raised profile makes it compatible by default. Support for 100w throughput and a variety of ports makes it a great and affordable option to put your Xbox Ally on a larger monitor. It doesn't fit fully stable in this dock, but if you angle it backwards it does the job without blocking any ventilation.

The first stop for anyone buying an Xbox Ally (or indeed, any portable device with a screen) is probably a screen protector. These ones designed specifically for the Xbox Ally are currently on sale for Cyber Monday, netting you a small but respectable saving.

If you throw in a couple of extra bucks, the Xbox Ally Max case from JSAUX adds an extra section, gaining storage space for chargers, cables, and even a folding Bluetooth keyboard.

This is my favorite carry case for the Xbox Ally, particularly for long commutes. This has a ton of storage for additional things like passports and the like, while also having internal padding to secure your Xbox Ally, Steam Deck, or indeed, any modern handheld. It's pricy, and it isn't "hard shell," but if you wanted something more bag-style this is your best bet.

Here's a pricy option if you're absolutely loaded and looking to make a big saving on a big purchase. If you like playing Xbox Cloud Gaming on your phone or other devices but hate the tiny screen ... what if you could carry a 50" screen in your pocket? These XREAL glasses function as an external monitor essentially, boosting your visual real estate with a hologrammatic screen. Of course, they're pretty pricy, but they're also pretty awesome.
