Every day we draw closer to Xbox Series X preorder news, but with neither Xbox nor PS5 preorder details, it’s getting a little frustrating. We know Series X is coming this year, and we know preorders are coming eventually, but each passing day brings us closer to a date no one but those at Microsoft actually know.Because of the upcoming release of the Xbox Series X, deals on Xbox One consoles are hard to come by. In fact, Microsoft even announced it’s no longer making theXbox One Xand the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. It will, however, continue manufacturing the Xbox One S. At the moment, though, good luck finding one.
With Xbox Series X backwards compatibility, there’s nothing to stop you from loading up on current Xbox game deals, since they’ll carry over to your next-gen system. Here are the latest chances to save on Xbox.
Xbox One Console Deals
Right now, there basically aren’t any deals on Xbox One X or Xbox One S. Again, you’re lucky if you can even find an Xbox for sale at MSRP, as most major retailers don’t have them available online.

When Will Xbox Series X Be Available for Preorder?
There’s no hard and fast answer to this question just yet. All we know is Xbox Series X is launching “holiday 2020,” and there will be preorders for the next-gen system from Microsoft. So basically, the only answer we have is a vague window of time sometime between now and the holiday season. We still don’t even have pricing details for Xbox Series X yet.
Can I Play Xbox One Games on Xbox Series X?
Yes indeed, which is why it makes sense to grab yourself some Xbox One games when they’re on sale. You won’t need to bother swapping cables around or hoping you have enough inputs on your home theater or 4KTV, since the release of the Xbox Series X will carry over your Xbox One library. Some games, like Halo Infinite, Cyberpunk 2077 and Far Cry 6, have Xbox Series X upgrades. That means you can buy the game now for your Xbox One and get Xbox Series X performance from it when the console releases. Not a bad deal.
Will Xbox One Controllers Work With Xbox Series X?
The good news is while Microsoft is releasing controllers designed specifically for Xbox Series X, your existing Xbox One controllers will also work with the new system. So in the rare case there’s a new deal on something like the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, you can go ahead and snap it up and carry it over to your new console, something Sony said won’t be possible withPS4 controllers on PS5.
