There are discounts on a bunch of games too, with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Sea of Thieves and Monster Hunter: World all sliding into the sale section for the first time; Microsoft is cutting the prices of some other games by up to 75 percent. Meanwhile, if you want to play those games online with your shiny new Xbox One X, you’ll need Xbox Live Gold, which you can get for $1 for a month. The same deal applies to Xbox Game Pass. All of these offers are available starting Thursday.

All discounts are available through Microsoft from June 7 through June 17.

If you’ve been waiting to buy an Xbox One X, this is a great time to do so. Most likely, we won’t see another Microsoft-issued discount on this model until the holiday buying season.
