The Xbox Series S, Microsoft’s smaller next gen console, is a ridiculous £189 at Amazon UK right now.
Not long after the US price of this console fell to $249, the UK arm of online retailer Amazon has dropped the price of this next generation device by £60. That means roughly 24% off this already discount device. If you’re looking for an opportunity to take the step up to the next generation of gaming, then this deal is a fantastic opportunity to make the move within minimum fuss.
The Xbox Series S is the small sibling of the Xbox Series X, Microsoft’s fridge format gaming console. Launched in late 2020, this option might do away with the optical drive, but still includes enough grunt to play the massive array of Game Pass and digital Xbox Games. From Halo to Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, and Destiny, you will be able to game at 1440p up to 120FPS.

While the Xbox Series S might be missing some of the power that the 4K capable Xbox Series X bundles, it has a much smaller footprint too. At just 6.5cm x 15.1cm x 27.5cm those of us looking for a more subtle addition to the front room can grab an Xbox Series S as part of the Amazon Black Friday deals that are still going on.
