The Xbox Series X has been difficult to recommend at its $649 price point since October 2023. However, a new bundle at Best Buy offers a compelling alternative: the Forza Horizon 6-themed console bundle for just $10 more than the standard price.

The bundle includes:

  • The Xbox Series X console with a 1TB SSD
  • Forza Horizon 6 on disc
  • A limited-edition wireless controller inspired by the game, valued at $180

While you could opt for a Game Pass Ultimate subscription to play Forza Horizon 6 on its May 19 launch day, you would miss out on the free controller included in this bundle.

Xbox Series X Forza Horizon 6 Bundle Details

Where to Buy: Best Buy

Price: $659.97 (down from $809.97)

Why This Deal Matters

The best time to buy an Xbox Series X was at launch in 2020, when it occasionally sold for as low as $350. Since then, console prices have risen by $150, with the Series X and PlayStation 5 now retailing at $150 more than their debut prices. While discounts on the PS5 are more common, finding a deal on the Xbox Series X has been rare. This bundle may finally provide the discount fans have been waiting for.
