PlayStation is having a pretty great Black Friday showing so far, and there are loads of great deals you can pick up over the weekend, and all the way through to Cyber Monday on Dec. 1.
Some of my favorite offers right now include $100 off PS5 consoles and PlayStation VR2 bundles, $20 off DualSense Controllers, and massive discounts on games like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater ($30), Borderlands 4 ($35), and Astro Bot ($40).
TL;DR – The Best PS5 Deals for Black Friday
My favorite PS5 console deals right now are absolutely on the NBA 2K26 bundle for $449, as you get a free game thrown in, alongside the PS5 Pro discount, down to $649 – likely the best price we'll see on the world's most powerful console for the time being.
When it comes to games, standout offers are coming in hot thanks to Walmart's latest Black Friday deals, with big 2025 games like Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and Assassin's Creed Shadows, all falling to just $30. But for now, let’s jump into the best PS5 Black Friday deals you can pick up today.
PS5 Consoles and More
Making up for the price rises earlier in the year, PS5 consoles are $100 off for Black Friday this year.
As I mentioned, the best PlayStation hardware deals include PS5 Pro consoles now sitting at $649.99, down from $749.99, and the PS5 NBA 2K26 Bundle now $449.99. As it includes a free game, this is arguably the best console deal in the sale.
The PlayStation Portal hits $179.99 as its first meaningful discount since launch, and the PlayStation VR Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle is now $299 after a $100 cut.
In terms of other options, there's also $100 off the new PS5 Fortnite Flowering Chaos bundles, at $399.99 for the 825GB digital model or $449.99 for the 1TB disc edition.
You get PlayStation exclusive in-game items and 1,000 V-Bucks, making it the obvious pick for anyone who lives in the Fortnite ecosystem.
There's also the limited edition Ghost of Yotei PS5 bundles dropping to $499.99, a straight $100 off its $599.99 MSRP, including the game.
At $500, you're saving $20 versus buying seperately in the sale, and getting a beautiful special edition console to boot.
Every PS5 Game On Sale for Black Friday
Like I mentioned, when it comes to games, standout offers are coming in hot thanks to Walmart's latest Black Friday deals, with big 2025 games like Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and Assassin's Creed Shadows, all falling to just $30.
Borderlands 4 has also dropped to just $35 at Amazon in another best of the year kind of deal, and one I'm basically expecting to sell out before the weekend is even up.
There's plenty more games to get stuck into in the sale as well, including Game of the Year 2024 winner, Astro Bot, for $40, Elden Ring for $15, Spider-Man 2 for $30, Final Fantasy's 1-6 Pixel Collection for $40, EA Sports FC 26 for $30, and more.
DualSense Controllers
Most DualSense controllers are between $55 and $60, depending on color, for Black Friday this year – that's $20 off the regular price. DualSense controllers rarely go on sale as it is, so any discount is better than paying full price.
The cheapest options are going to be the standard white, Midnight Black, Gray Camo, the Galaxy Collection (Cosmic Red, Starlight Blue, and Galactic Purple) and the Sterling Silver colors for $55, while the newer colors, including the Chroma Collection that released earlier this year, are $60.
For those looking for a more premium gaming experience, the DualSense Edge is also $30 off in both white and black colors. PlayStation's "pro" controller offers interchangeable thumbstick modules to combat stick drift, customizable back buttons, and deep integration with the PS5's software to create and swap between profiles with ease.
PlayStation Plus
PlayStation Plus is finally getting a proper Black Friday cut. New signups can grab 33% off a 12 month membership, which is about as generous as Sony gets these days.
If you're already locked in, you can still shave 33 percent off by upgrading whatever time you have left from Essential or Extra to Premium or Deluxe. Simple, and actually worthwhile for once.
It's a cleaner offer than last year's messy tiered discounts, which spread 20 percent across Essential, 25 percent across Extra, 30 percent across Premium, plus smaller cuts on upgrades.
And while it doesn't quite top the Lunar New Year blowout with its steeper Premium and upgrade savings, it does match or outdo the more recent Days of Play numbers, where Premium and Premium upgrades also hit 33 percent.
You might have already seen my $20 or less roundup, which is still packed with heavy hitters from the last few years and perfect if you want maximum bang for your buck. I also recently covered the best games under $30 right now, sporting Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater as my top pick.
I've also got you covered if you're looking for a more comprehensive roundup of the best video game deals for Black Friday. I'd also highly recommend you check in with my best Nintendo and Xbox Black Friday roundups, both of which I'll be updating daily with the best offers over the sale weekend. After that, I will rest. Have a good one!
