A deal tracker on CheapAssGamer says the Xbox Black Friday sale kicks off Thursday, November 19 at 3 PM ET, with 007 First Light, Ace Combat 8, Star Wars: Zero Company and The Blood of Dawnwalker on the list. Here's what's claimed and what's not confirmed.
Start saving now. A user named “Bloomy” on the deals site CheapAssGamer has posted what looks like the full list for this year’s Xbox Black Friday sale, per Pure Xbox. Microsoft hasn’t announced the sale yet, so treat this as a rumor until Xbox Wire makes it official.
What the leak claims
- Start date: Thursday, November 19, 2026, with a 3 PM Eastern start, per the title of the r/xbox post that shared the list (“Black Friday Sale countdown, Part 1 (3,519) – Nov 19, 3pm Eastern”).
- Size: 3,519 items on the list. Pure Xbox points out the real number of discounted games will be lower, because Bloomy splits Deluxe Editions and bundles into separate items, some of which you can’t buy on their own.
- Games named so far, per Pure Xbox:
- 007 First Light
- Ace Combat 8
- Star Wars: Zero Company
- The Blood of Dawnwalker
- Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
- Prices: not in the leak. Discount amounts won’t be known until the sale goes live.
What’s confirmed and what isn’t
- Not confirmed: the date, the list and the discounts. Pure Xbox says “there’s every chance the list could change” before the 19th.
- Lines up with last year: Pure Xbox notes last year’s Xbox Black Friday sale began on Thursday, November 20 and included more than 2,000 games, so a Thursday start the week before Black Friday fits the pattern.
- Hardware: nothing in the leak covers consoles or accessories. Pure Xbox says accessory deals could start before the game sale, but that’s a guess, not part of the leak.
- Busy day: if the date holds, the sale starts the same day GTA 6 launches, per Pure Xbox.
OnPoint’s take: We buy it. A Thursday start the week before Black Friday is exactly what Xbox did last year, and a list this size, broken down item by item, doesn’t come out of nowhere. What gets us hyped is the names on it. 007 First Light, Ace Combat 8, Star Wars: Zero Company and The Blood of Dawnwalker are some of the biggest names of 2026, and seeing them on a sale list this soon is a W for anyone building out their Series X library before the holidays. Build your wishlist now so you’re ready on the 19th, and we’ll have the real deals the second Xbox makes it official.
