Unless you've been living under a warthog, Xbox players are going through it right now. Game Pass price hikes (But postponed for some?), rumored cancelled next gen hardware and all in all an uncertain future for the platform. The main issue here is players like me who have an Xbox library going back to the Xbox 360 days, we're all in and it would be nice to carry on that way without paying $360 a year for games we don't own.

Luckily, I've been doing some digging on current discount on physical Xbox Series X|S|One games. If you've had an Xbox Series X from before pricing shot up, you're in the perfect position to just cancel Game Pass and build up your physical backlog. Just looking at the top 10 discounted games below, this currently comes to $239.83 with at least 50% discount on these titles. If you're playing a game every month or two, the savings over Game Pass are real whilst saving nearly $100 by simply getting the games you want to play (We're looking at you, Ubisoft Classics).

Times are hard at the moment, so if you're parting with your hard earned dollars for new games, it's good to know you have that game for life. Whilst it's obvious that gaming is heading towards a digital future, that doesn't mean we have to jump on the band wagon when there's savings and physical perks to keep hold of. I've found around 50 deals on Xbox Series X|S|One, so there's bound to be something here for every kind of player. Let's get into it:
