Gamers who are having trouble finding Xbox Series X and Series S deals, we’re here to help you out. We’ve tracked down this offer from Walmart — a $50 discount on the Xbox Series X, which slashes its price from $498 to $448. Offers for Microsoft’s latest-generation video game console don’t usually last long though, and we don’t think this bargain will be an exception. If want to pocket the savings, the only way to make sure of that is to proceed with your purchase right now.

Why you should buy the Xbox Series X

The Microsoft Xbox Series X is an extremely powerful video game console with features that include 120 frames per second, HDR, 12 teraflops of processing power, and 1TB SSD. Our Xbox Series X versus PlayStation 5 comparison gives the PS5 the overwhelming win when it comes to exclusives, but the Xbox Series X has access to all of the popular third-party games. If you subscribe to the Xbox Game Pass, you’ll also be able to play excellent first-party titles for free as long as you maintain your monthly membership.

Don’t be confused between the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S: the Xbox Series S is the Xbox Series X’s lesser version that forces you to go all-digital as it doesn’t have a disc drive. If you’re planning to create a physical library of the best Xbox Series X games, you’re going to need the disc drive of the more powerful brother. The Xbox Series X comes with an Xbox Wireless Controller, but if you’re planning to play with friends and family, you’re going to need to buy another controller.

Microsoft’s Xbox Series X is a wonderful piece of technology, and it’s currently on sale from Walmart with a $50 discount that brings its price down to $448 from $498 originally. If you’re searching for gaming deals to give as a gift for the upcoming holiday season, this is an offer that you wouldn’t want to miss. This bargain may end at any moment though, so if you want to get the Xbox Series X at a more affordable price than usual, you’re going to have to complete your transaction for it as soon as possible.

Razer’s Kraken V4 X Sensa wants to add haptics to your gaming audio

Sensa HD Haptics turns in-game audio into physical feedback, so every gunshot and explosion will hit differently.

Razer has decided that hearing an explosion isn't quite enough anymore. The company has launched the Kraken V4 X Sensa HD Haptics, a new wired gaming headset that adds physical vibrations to the audio experience. Essentially, when something suitably dramatic happens in a game, the headset can make the player feel it as well as hear it.

The big trick here is Sensa HD Haptics, Razer's haptic technology that converts compatible game audio into physical feedback. Explosions, gunshots, engines, and other low-frequency sounds can translate into vibrations through the headset, adding another layer of immersion without requiring a fancy gaming chair with an unnecessarily aggressive subwoofer.

Voicemod is breaking free from the PC with this tiny gadget

Want to sound completely different the next time you jump into Fortnite or Discord? Voicemod Key Pocket puts voice effects and soundboards into a small piece of hardware that works without a PC.

Changing your character's outfit in a game takes seconds. You can swap skins, change your username, pick a different loadout, and generally make your online character look however you want. Changing how you sound, though, has traditionally been a little more complicated — especially if you're playing on a phone or console. Voicemod wants to fix that with the Voicemod Key Pocket, a tiny hardware device that brings the company's real-time voice changing and soundboards to smartphones, tablets, consoles, and social apps without needing a PC in the middle.

The idea is simple: plug the Key Pocket into your device, connect a headset, and start changing your voice while you talk to others. It works alongside the Voicemod app, where you can browse more than 200 original voices alongside thousands of community-created options.
