Microsoft has a lot of great reasons to get involved in Cyber Monday. I mean, it just announced entirely new hardware a couple of months ago. That is bound to impact what we see drop in price this year because we should see the older generations go on sale and we might even see brand-new low prices for the brand new gear. Don't forget there's also the Xbox Series S and Series X. The newest Microsoft gaming consoles should at the very least see a more steady supply during the holidays if not feature some interesting bundles and other deals. This year will be a great year to save on video games, Surface hardware, laptops, and more.

Last year's Cyber Monday was notable because everything shifted to online shopping. We've been saying for years that online shopping is the better way to go for Cyber Monday anyway, and now it's the definitive way because it looks like this year's event will also have a very strong online presence. Turns out, saving money is better when you don't have to fight off the Horde to do it. What makes this even better if you're looking for Microsoft deals is that Microsoft has a great online store and a huge online presence across multiple retailers. Where there is a Cyber Monday sale, there is bound to be something from Microsoft in it.

Where to find the best Microsoft Cyber Monday deals?

If you're looking for the latest and greatest Surface hardware and hoping to find it on sale, then keep an eye out on the Microsoft store. Are you looking for software like Game Pass or Microsoft 365? Amazon has had quite a few good deals on both. Or do you just want a great Windows laptop? Well, you can find deals on those in a number of places. If you're specifically looking for Surface deals, we've also put together a list of all the best Cyber Monday Microsoft Surface deals.

Whether you're looking for something new like the Surface Pro 8 or something unique like the Surface Duo 2, we will have an eye on all of the best deals right here. Also check out our dedicated collection of the best Cyber Monday Microsoft Surface deals 2021.

Surface Pro 8 Essentials Bundle | $345 off

Surface Pro 8 Essentials Bundle | $345 off

The Surface Pro 8 was recently released and is unlikely to see any standalone Cyber Monday deals, but you can save if you bundle up with some essential accessories software. Choose your Surface Pro 8 configuration (of which there are plenty), add a Signature Keyboard, choose a Microsoft 365 15-month subscription, add a coverage plan, and select a color for your free Surface Earbuds. Bundles start at $1,464 and climb, but you'll always get the $345 savings.

Surface Pro 7 Plus Type Cover Bundle | $230 off

Surface Pro 7 Plus Type Cover Bundle | $230 off

This bundle lands you $150 off your choice of Surface Pro 7 Plus, as well as a further $80 off a Surface Pro Type Cover. From there, it's up to you if you'd like to continue saving on a Microsoft 365 subscription, extended protection plan, and accessories. Everything is on sale!

Microsoft Surface Laptop Go | $150 off

Microsoft Surface Laptop Go | $150 off

The Surface Laptop Go is already one of Microsoft's most affordable Surface devices. Its Intel Core i5 processor is fast enough for everyday work, and the laptop delivers good battery life. Get this discounted model with Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, 128GB SSD, and 12.4-inch touch display with 1536x1024 resolution.

Microsoft Cyber Monday software deals

If you want to play all the latest games, especially new holiday titles like Forza Horizon 5 or Halo Infinite, then you'll probably want to get a Game Pass membership. Microsoft's subscription service often goes on sale during the holidays and gives you access to hundreds of games to play, whether you have an Xbox or play on PC. You might also be interested in something like Microsoft 365 if you need to worry more about your productivity. Here are some great deals on both.

Microsoft Cyber Monday Series X/S deals

Whether you need the actual gaming console or you just need some accessories to go with the one you've already got, save some money with these deals. To dive even deeper into the world of Xbox deals, take a look at our collection of the best Cyber Monday Xbox Series X deals.

When do the Microsoft Cyber Monday deals begin?

Cyber Monday is officially Friday, Nov. 26, but the real deals have already started. Honestly, the moment Microsoft announced a new Surface Pro 8 back in September we started seeing great deals on the Surface Pro 7, which isn't a bad device even if it's an older generation. If you can deal with not having the latest and the greatest, that will be the sweet spot for Microsoft deals this year. Those "one generation out" devices that retailers will be looking to clear from their shelves are going to already be discounted from Microsoft and then on sale for a little bit more just for the sake of Cyber Monday.

Also keep an eye out for other sales from major retailers, like Walmart's Cyber Monday Deals for Days sale or Best Buy's early Cyber Monday sale. You might have to sort through some non-Microsoft stuff, but you should definitely find a few great deals available.
