Series X 1TB Digital Edition
If you want to turn someone on your shopping list into an Xbox fan, why not get them a console? The Digital Edition is cheaper than usual, though it has no disc drive. For a little more money, you can get the Series X with both a disc drive and Game Pass. The Series S is still on the market as well, though it’s not quite as punchy as the X. The point is, you’ve got options.
Xbox Wireless Controller – Ghost Cipher Special Edition
Man, remember when game hardware was translucent? What a magical time. This version of the Xbox controller harkens back to that wonderful era. You’ve got all the usual features that come with an Xbox gamepad, along with that fantastic color scheme. Truly, more hardware should be bright, see-through plastic in a rainbow of colors. Although this one is only available in white or blue, that’s still pretty good!
Xbox Wireless Headset
Once you’ve got your console and your controllers handled, you’ll need a good headset. Whether you’re playing online with friends, or just getting immersed in the audio, a good headset is a must. Thankfully, Xbox has an official one for sale. The Xbox headset sounds good, feels great, and looks properly slick. Plus it’s wireless, which is always a big bonus. Really, any console gaming tech should be cord-free.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
Game Pass is the gift that keeps on giving. Better yet, you can keep giving it to the Xbox people in your life. It’s like socks, you always need more. There’s a massive selection of games available, including a bunch of new releases. The ultimate tier covers both PC and Xbox, with different games on each version of the service. For the cost of an indie title a month, you get access to a whole library of titles. Even with the recent price changes, it’s still the best deal in gaming.
And there you have it. With a solid list of games and accessories in hand, you’ve got the gamers on your list covered. Unless they’re Nintendo or PlayStation fans, in which case we have some other lists to check out. Happy holidays!
