Anyone who plays a ton of games knows how important it is to have plenty of storage space to keep up with their expanding library. When it comes to Xbox Series X|S, one of the very best options out there is the Seagate 1TB Storage Expansion. It offers fast read and write speeds which have been documented at 738MB/s and 308 MB/s, respectively. That's pretty fast and will keep up with your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S.
As we discussed in our Seagate Storage Expansion review, this device offers the best way of increasing game storage space for the latest Xbox consoles. This is why we listed it among the best external hard drives for Xbox Series X|S. 1TB is enough for several games making this a very desireable accessory, however, the high price has always made people shy away from making the purchase. Thankfully, Best Buy's 4th of July sale has reduced the cost of this 1TB card down to $149.99 from its usual $219.99, making it far more affordable than usual.
Something we love about the Seagate Expansion card is that it is super easy to install. Just plug it into the slot on the outside of your Xbox Series X or Series S and you're good to go. You don't have to worry about taking your console apart to install it.

This card is ideal for any Xbox gamer who tends to play dozens of games each year. If that's you, then you'll really benefit from purchasing this as it removes the need to frequently uninstall, archive, or delete software on your console to make room for more. It also makes for a thoughtful gift for anyone in your life who tends to play a lot of Xbox throughout the year.

While not nearly as small and sleek as the Seagate expansion cards, the WD_Black D10 8TB External Drive does provide a whole lot more space for serious Xbox gamers. This external hard drive connects via USB-A connection to the Series X or Series S and then will lie outside of the console without needing any internal installation.
While it does take up more space than Seagate's offerings, it isn't super noticeable. Just get it set up with your console and then put it next to or on top of your Xbox. It's already well-priced compared to the 2TB Seagate card, but with $80 knocked off the MSRP thanks to Best Buy's 4th of July sale, it's an even greater deal right now.

Now, if you are the kind of person that is just constantly playing on your Series X or Series S then the 12TB version of the WD_Black D10 Portable Hard Drive is something you need to consider. It's rather expensive, but right now with Best Buy's sale, the price has been lowered by $100, making it a great time to buy.
Physically, the WD_Black D10 12TB Hard Drive is a little bigger than the 8TB version, but not by a whole ton. You can still easily fit it on your TV stand next to your Xbox Series X or Series S consoles without it getting in the way. It even comes with a handy stand to help keep it looking neat and organized.
And yes, if you happen to be looking at deals in hopes of finding a gift for an Xbox gamer than this is a great purchase to make.

Our own Ben Wilson spent time with this gaming headset while working on our Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Headset review. He stated that "Turtle Beach has outdone themselves and the competition" with this second-generation version of the Stealth 600 thanks to its impressive bass/treble response and fantastic microphone.

It charges back up with the included USB-C cable and offers a respectable 24 hours of battery life. As long as you make sure to charge it back up after every second or third gaming session it ought to last you incredibly well. Grab it while it's just $84.99 for Best Buy's 4th of July sale.

After testing this headset for our SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro review, we liked it so much that we then went on to add it to our list of the best PC gaming headsets. It is Hi-Res Audio Certified, allowing users to take advantage of music tracks that are higher than standard CD quality for an enhanced listening experience. Thanks to the reliable noise canceling, you won't have anything distracting you from your music either.
Something unique about this headset is that it comes with a bay station which allows users to interact with the headset to change between various devices or to adjust EQ settings. The headset also features a hot-swap dual battery, allowing users to swap between the two batteries so they never have to worry about running out of juice during a gaming session. Just make sure to charge things up every now and then and you'll always be able to use the headset.
Thankfully, right now during Best Buy's Xbox accessory deals, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro headset is discounted to $312.99, making it a bit easier on your wallet to purchase. You can even get it a little cheaper than that at Amazon if you want to save a couple of dollars. 😉

The Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel and pedals are an amazing pick for both Xbox Series X|S or PC. This is an accessory that our own Richard Devine loves to use.

As our own Richard Devine said in our Thrustmaster T248 Racing Wheel and Magnetic Pedals review, this racing wheel and combo is perfect for beginners and seasoned racing enthusiasts alike thanks to its simple setup and intuitive design. Thankfully, it's an impressive $70 off right now at Best Buy. You can even find it selling cheaper than that at Amazon if you're interested.
Compared to the previously mentioned Thrustmaster T128 racing wheel the T248 racing wheel and pedal combo provides an even more immersive experience thanks to the feedback which allows you to feel every bump and shudder of the road as you drive. We also love the LED dashboard display, which makes it easy to adjust various settings or keep you appraised of in-game information that might affect your driving, like the temperature.
There are 25 action buttons with the main D-Pad as well as the A,B, X, and Y buttons all situated on front similar to what you'd see on an Xbox Series X controller.

As you can see with our VelocityOne Flightstick review, we absolutely love this gaming accessory and cannot recommend it enough.
The VelocityOne Flightstick is the ideal companion for flight simulators thanks to its eight high-precision axes, which allows for easy navigation and smooth feedback. That combined with the intuitive button layout really pulls you into the action. If something doesn't feel quite right, you can easily change the settings with the use of the OLED Flight Management Display located on the flight stick without having to take a lot of time to do so.
Connect it to either your Xbox Series X|S, your Xbox One, or your PC or laptop that has Windows 10 or 11 on it.

As with any of the best Xbox controllers, the Turtle Beach Cloud Wired Game Controller offers a comfortable grip and familiar button layout. What's more, while it can be used on Xbox Series X|S and PC, it also comes with an included mobile phone clip so you can play games on the cloud super easily, like when playing any Xbox Cloud Gaming titles.
If the idea of a multi-use controller sounds appealing then you're in luck right now. The Recon Cloud is currently $30 off at Best Buy and Amazon during these companies' 4th of July sales events. You can grab one while they're still available at this discounted price.
A very useful part of the controller is that it includes remappable buttons on the back which you can assign to whatever other command you'd like. This can make it easier for you to get ahead in competitive modes or to make repetitive actions less straining on your hands.
