It's easy to lose yourself in the endless stream of Black Friday and Cyber Monday Xbox and Windows PC deals, but one of the best gift ideas for yourself or anyone else still tends to be gift cards. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to save money even on Xbox gift cards and subscriptions — basically amounting to free cash. Here are the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on Xbox gift cards and Xbox or PC Game Pass subscriptions.
Xbox gift cards are an easy and reliable gift, as it lets the recipient choose exactly what they want. It's also a great way to save some funds in the Xbox Store for purchasing the best Xbox games, any number of excellent accessories, and even full-blown Xbox Series X|S consoles. For Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can actually save on these gift cards, effectively giving you free cash to splash on anything you desire from the Xbox Store.
Xbox Game Pass is by far one of the best overall values in the video games industry, as it grants subscribers access to hundreds of high-quality Xbox titles, including all first-party Xbox Game Studios games, for one monthly subscription. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate turns the value up another notch by also giving you Xbox Live Gold, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming under that same umbrella. For Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can save money on your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions.
PC Game Pass doesn't dominate industry conversations like its console or "Ultimate" counterparts, but it still features a vast, constantly expanding library of indie and "AAA" games on PC. Anyone with a gaming PC can immediately get started with a huge selection of terrific PC titles with the click of a button, as long as they're okay with using the still-immature Xbox app rather than more established platforms like Steam or Epic Games.
