The Xbox Series S is the «lite» cousin of the full-size Xbox Series X. While it can run all the same next-gen titles, it doesn’t have a disk drive, which means that all your games will have to be digital downloads. It’s equipped with a 512GB SSD, which can fill up pretty quickly, but you can easily add some extra storage with an expansion card or external hard drive. And while, unlike the Series X, it doesn’t support 4K video, it does match the 120 FPS frame rate for fluid action.

Being able to snag this next-gen console on sale is already a great bargain, and it comes with some other bonuses to sweeten the pot. The Gilded Hunter bundle includes 1,000 free in-game credits for Fortnite, Fall Guys and Rocket League, which are all free to play on Xbox. You also get a total of nine free in-game cosmetics, including skins, weapons, emotes and more. And you can check out our full roundup of all the best Xbox deals for even more bargains on headsets, controllers and more.
