Microsoft already has a lot of holiday Xbox One console bundles that have at least one, and sometimes more, free games included. Now the company has announced that from Friday, November 6 to Sunday, November 8, people who buy any Xbox One bundle at participating retailers will be able to get an additional game of their choice for free that has a value of up to $59.99.
Microsoft is likely running this special offer due to the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops III on November 6. This is the first game in the popular first-person shooter series that will not release its post-launch DLC packs first on the Xbox platform, and Microsoft may be trying to keep fans of the series from defecting to Sony's PlayStation 4 platform.
In addition to this weekend's special promotion, Microsoft points out that other retailers have their own deals for the Xbox One:
