Lego 2K Drive (Xbox Series X|S)
Lego 2K Drive offers up a more family-oriented open world racing experience than something like Forza Horizon 5 and its aforementioned Rally DLC, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a play for seasoned Xbox racers. Back when we reviewed this one we noted that its RRP was a little on the high side, so naturally, we can recommend it a whole lot more at a chunky 50% off. Think open-world Mario Kart knock-off and you're about there - this one could be a great game to play with friends and family over the festive period.

The Crew Motorfest (Xbox Series X|S)
Ubisoft's third The Crew game hugely surprised us when it released in September - for the first time in series history this is a worthy competitor to Forza Horizon! Motorfest getting such a big discount this soon has also surprised us, with the base game now 40% off on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. What better way to celebrate the impending winter weather than a virtual trip to Hawaii?

Aliens: Dark Descent (Xbox Series X|S)
Aliens, darkness, and a descent into madness - what an iconic trio! Anyway, Dark Descent was a lovely strategic take on the Aliens universe by developer Tindalos, and we're on a nice hot streak with the IP after the also-great Fireteam Elite. If you prefer to slow things down and take a bit more time over your alien-blasting moves, we can definitely recommend giving this one a go - especially at 30% off an already-attractive price point.

Atlas Fallen (Xbox Series X|S)
Focus Home is making a comfy home out of the AA gaming space these days, and that extends to the team's recent action RPG Atlas Fallen. Another 8/10 from us here at Pure Xbox, Atlas Fallen was a great time - especially in the combat & platforming departments. At 35% off an August 2023 release you can't complain can you? This discount is definitely worth exploring if Atlas Fallen appealed to you at launch!

Immortals of Aveum (Xbox Series X|S)
Immortals of Aveum is a fun single-player shooter that's in the midst of getting some major updates on Xbox Series X|S. Its launch price was a bit steep for what you ultimately get, but this magic-based FPS is much more worth a look at 50% off. It's a next-gen-only Unreal Engine 5 affair too, so if you want to put your console through its paces, this is a decent way to do it.

If you've been waiting to play through the follow-up to Fallen Order this could well be your opportunity - as the base game is now 40% off on Xbox Series X|S. You'll be waiting a while longer for this one to hit Xbox Game Pass, so if your patience has ran out, you might as well get almost half off the price!
- Xbox Black Friday Sale 2023: £41.99 / $41.99
