Xbox Store Spring Sale Video

On Friday, Microsoft announced the 2017 Xbox store spring sale, which will see games and more discounted through the platform’s digital storefront from Tuesday through April 17. Xbox Live Gold subscribers will receive additional discounts as well.

The biggest news for any Xbox 360 or Xbox One owners who somehow haven’t yet upgraded to an Xbox Live Gold subscription will be that starting now, until April 17, Gold subscription upgrades go for just $1 for the first month. Xbox Live Gold normally goes for anywhere from $5 to $10 per month, depending how many months you buy at once, so that could be considered a sizeable discount for some users.

There are of course a ton of games going on sale, plus an assortment of movies, apps, music, and TV, but the other surprise is that Xbox Design Lab custom controllers will be discounted $15 off their usual price of $80. If you’ve had the perfect design in mind for a while, looks like Tuesday will be the time to make it a reality.
