Microsoft has announced its 2016 Black Friday deals, revealing that it plans major discounts for many of its key products, including the Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book.

All discounts will be available in the Microsoft Store and will go live at 12:01 AM ET on November 24, and will obviously continue as long as supplies last.

Microsoft will be offering up to $430 off Surface devices and promises to sell the Xbox One S at the lowest price ever, as the console will be on sale starting at just $249. Of course, there will also be several games available with a discount, including Gears of War 4, which will cost $25 less.

Windows 10 devices, however, will be the big stars of the sale, and not only Microsoft’s Surface will be offered with price cuts, but also models manufactured by Dell, HP, and Acer.

“If you’re looking to upgrade your tech this holiday, there’s no better time to buy than Black Friday. Microsoft Store and other retailers across the country are offering some of the steepest discounts of the year on Microsoft’s hottest selling PCs and game consoles, so there’s something for everyone on your shopping list,” Microsoft announced.
