Microsoft discounts 500 Xbox One games by up to 75% for Black Friday

We’re just over a week out from Black Friday 2018, but if you’re an Xbox Live Gold subscriber, the deals start today. On Thursday, Microsoft kicked off its Black Friday Xbox One game deals a few days early for paying members, giving them a 4-day head start on hundreds of digital games that are on sale. But not only do Gold members gain access to the deals earlier than everyone else, they also get an additional 10% off the games.

As Xbox Live’s Major Nelson notes, you have two options if you aren’t current subscribers to Xbox Live Gold. The first is to just wait it out, as the Black Friday sale will open up to all Xbox One owners on November 19th. The other option is to join Xbox Live Gold right now, which you can do for just $1 for your first month.
