The so far best deal of the year on theXbox Series Shas just surfaced online, with Verizon now retailing Microsoft’s console at just $149.99, a whopping 50% off its regular price. Although this offer comes with some notable caveats, its proposed savings blow therecent Lunar New Year sale of the Xbox Series Sout of the water.Microsoft’s budget-friendly consoledropped by up to $50 over the 2022 holiday season, depending on the retailer, with the company then one-upping that record-low price by an extra $10 in late January. This newly introduced deal nearly triples those savings but is only available to Verizon customers in the United States, where it’s being offered as the latest perk of the Verizon Up loyalty program.RELATED:Phil Spencer Says Xbox Won’t Pull a Hogwarts Legacy with Call of DutyTaking advantage of this Xbox Series S discount hence requires downloading and logging into the Verizon mobile app. From there, the carrier’s customers can navigate to the Verizon Up section to claim a promo code that can be applied to halve the console’s price during checkout from the company’s online store. User reports on social media state the code is only valid until March 31, whereas Verizon’s own terms of service reveal the offer itself might also be cut short if the supplies don’t last. That might very well happen, given recent reports claimingXbox sales are currently at an all-time high, irrespective of any limited-time discounts.
Either way, this deal should not be mistaken with a newly introduced Verizon promo allowing any U.S. customer to get theXbox Series Sat $50 off via the company’s online storefront. Unsurprisingly, the half-off code available as a Verizon Up perk cannot be combined with that sale, either. Anyone who’s for any reason unable to claim the 50% off promo code for the Xbox Series S should message the VerizonSupport Twitter account, as the carrier’s customer service team is currently actively helping people take advantage of this deal.
Even at its full price, the Xbox Series S has been widely touted as the best-value option for next-gen gaming ever since hitting the market in late 2020. Verizon’s newly debuted deal arguably pushes it from an attractive to no-brainer purchase for anyone able to jump on this opportunity. And now would be as good a time as any to do so, given how Microsoft is already teasing anamazing year for Xbox gaming full of surprises, as well as highly anticipated titles such asStarfieldand theForza Motorsportreboot.
