Your last chance to save on Xbox Game Pass and Xbox gift cards (and score free money) is right now — Cyber Monday is over


🚨LAST CHANCE🚨: Cyber Monday is officially over, but several of these deals are still ticking for a little while longer. Prices have gone up for some and others are gone forever, though, so it's clear there's not much time to take advantage. You can check out our round-up of the best remaining Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for more lingering sales.


Other Cyber Monday deals may give you discounts on hardware or individual games, but what about discounts on access to hundreds of games across Xbox, Windows PC, and the cloud? Even better, how about discounts on Xbox gift cards, which essentially amounts to free cash in your pocket? Whether you're buying for yourself or buying for friends and family, these are the best deals this Cyber Monday on Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, Xbox gift cards, and more.

Time is almost out, though. Cyber Monday is over, and these deals are dwindling. Prices have already been raised and other deals are gone entirely, so you should act fast if you still have some holiday shopping for yourself or others to take care of.

Deals STILL AVAILABLE!

Keep your subscriptions and keep buying Xbox games... But save on it all

Xbox Game Pass is one of the best values in all of gaming, and this makes that deal a little sweeter. (Image credit: Microsoft)

If you're here, there's a good chance you're already an Xbox Game Pass subscriber. At the very least, you're either invested in the Xbox ecosystem by buying the best Xbox games or you're looking for great gifts for friends and family. Whatever brought you here, I don't need to do much to sell you on great discounts on all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass Core subscriptions. I have to do even less to sell you on 12% discounts on all Xbox Gift Cards, because that's just free money in your pocket to spend on games, accessories, and even consoles.

Yeah, you heard me! A 12% discount on Xbox gift cards means a 12% discount on any purchase from the Microsoft Store on both Xbox consoles and Windows PCs. Sure, you can buy games (and most of you will), but you can also pick up a new controller, add movies to your collection, snag that premium app you've been eyeing, or finally bring home a brand-new Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S. Whatever you buy from the Microsoft Store, you're getting a 12% discount through these gift cards. That's awesome for saving money on holiday gift buying and treating yourself.

As for the Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, that's straightforward, too. With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you're gaining access to hundreds of games across Xbox consoles, Windows PCs, and the cloud (bringing those games to practically any device imaginable). Score sweet perks in the form of in-game DLC, free movies and subscriptions, and more; take advantage of exclusive discounts and offers on Xbox games and DLC; play the best games published by EA with the inclusion of EA Play. It's all here, and now you can stack cards to save a ton on the service into perpetuity.

Xbox Game Pass Core is for the simpler gamers, who just want online multiplayer access on their Xbox console. You also get access to over 30 high-quality games hand-selected by Xbox, though, so your library will grow by a fair bit just by being subscribed. A 12-month subscription to Core is already pretty heavily discounted over 1-month payments, but a heft 25% discount on top? That's an easy decision. If you're a new Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you can also buy a ton of Game Pass Core and convert it to Ultimate for a little more savings.

Don't wait on these deals, though, because they could be ending very soon. Target's Black Friday 2023 sales concluded at the end of the day, and it took one of the best deals with it. We were fortunate enough to find other retailers running great promotions for Cyber Monday 2023 — If you've been holding out on where to spend your money this week, this is the time to do it (it's also your last chance to save).
