Plus, there are big discounts on new games like Star Wars Outlaws, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, and so much more. Let's dig into everything PlayStation Black Friday that's still available.

TL;DR - These Are the Best PS5 Black Friday Deals I've Found So Far

Best PS5 Console Black Friday Deals

PlayStation's Black Friday deals on the PS5 are now live, offering the most signifcant discount we've seen in 2024. Both the Fortnite Cobalt Star Bundle and NBA 2K25 Bundle were available on Nov 23, starting at $374.99 for the Digital Edition and $424.99 for the Disc Edition, but now the deal has been removed. The Fortnite bundles are back up, but not the NBA 2K ones. Stay tuned for Cyber Monday to see if they make a return.

Best Black Friday PS5 Game Deals

Some of the best PS5 game deals this Black Friday include Sonic X Shadow Generations for $29.99, Elden Ring for just $19.99, the critically acclaimed Metaphor ReFantazio (a potential GOTY contender) for $49.99, and exciting new physical releases like the Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition.

These are just a few standout offers, but there’s a huge selection of discounts available right now. Browse through our top picks below or jump into Amazon’s extensive sale lineup to discover even more deals for your collection.

Black Friday Deals on PS5 SSDs

PS5 games continue to grow in size, and with SSD prices climbing in 2024, finding the right storage at a great price is more important than ever. With Black Friday now here, there are plenty of discounts to explore. For example, the WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD with a heatsink is currently available for $133.99, offering excellent value.

Keep in mind that not all SSDs are compatible with the PS5. To ensure optimal performance, you'll need a PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 drive with a minimum read speed of 5,500MB/s to match the console's internal storage. To simplify your search, we've curated a list of SSDs that meet or exceed these requirements.

PlayStation VR 2 is $349 for Black Friday

This is one of the standout deals of Black Friday: the PSVR2 Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle is now just $349, a massive $251 discount. At this price, it matches the cost of the standalone PSVR2 in the sale, but the bundle is the clear choice, offering an excellent game to pair with your new high-performance VR headset.

This deal puts the PSVR2 in direct competition with more budget-friendly options like the Meta Quest, making it an enticing option for those looking to dive into premium virtual reality. It’s a great opportunity for newcomers to experience top-tier VR gaming at an unbeatable price.

DualSense Controllers Get a $20 Discount for Black Friday

DualSense controllers are now just $54, a significant drop from their usual $74.99 MSRP. Even better, special edition models, featuring unique designs, are also discounted to $59. This marks one of the best deals we’ve seen on DualSense controllers in quite some time, making it a great opportunity to pick one up – or even grab a spare for multiplayer gaming – before the colorway you're most into sells out.

Whether you're upgrading your PlayStation setup or hunting for a holiday gift, this Black Friday offer delivers exceptional value. With discounts this good, it’s the perfect time to invest in a high-quality controller that enhances every gaming experience.

PlayStation Plus Black Friday Deal

PlayStation Plus memberships have received a big Black Friday discount. New members can save 30% on a 12-month subscription, while current PlayStation Plus Essential members can upgrade and save 25% on PlayStation Plus Extra or 30% on Premium/Deluxe.

Sony has also recently confirmed its PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup for November 2024, and it includes the return of Rockstar’s GTA 5 in an exciting month for subscribers. Heavy hitters Dying Light 2: Stay Human and Like a Dragon: Ishin also joined the subscription service from November 19 onwards.

Premium/Deluxe members also gain access to the Sony Pictures Catalog, featuring up to 100 movies available to stream on demand. During the Black Friday promotion, additional discounts on recent movie releases will also be available to all PS5 and PS4 players.

Should You Wait for Cyber Monday?

As Black Friday deals continue throughout the weekend, keep an eye on video game Black Friday deals from Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox. Waiting for Cyber Monday can be risky – the hottest gaming deals tend to sell out fast. This is why Black Friday tends to be the better time to buy video games. Frankly, if you see a game deal you like, we'd recommend hopping on it now. But if you missed out on the PS5 2K25 bundle (or any of the insanely popular Switch bundles), there might still be hope come Cyber Monday.
