Cyber Monday is over, which means the big Black Friday sales season is over. That may be the case "officially", but in our experience that doesn't mean the deals will just disappear overnight. Indeed, many still remain, which means we'll continue to hunt for the best gaming deals in Australia.

Will there be new deals, though? Yes, but not heaps. That's why we're keeping close attention on all retailers - both Australian and international - to cherrypick the best gaming discounts. We'll be collecting them all right here.

PS5 Cyber Monday deals in Australia

PlayStation 5 Slim (digital): was AU$679.95 now AU$529 on Amazon AUSave AU$150.95

PlayStation 5 Slim (digital): was AU$679.95 now AU$529 on Amazon AU
Save AU$150.95

This is the digital version of the PS5 Slim, so keep a wide berth if you intend to keep using discs. If you're nowadays all-digital, this discount of more than AU$150 off the Slim is a great grab pre-Christmas, assuming you're not eyeing off the PS5 Pro.

PlayStation 5 Slim (disc): was AU$799.95 now AU$578 on eBay (EB Games)Save AU$171.95

PlayStation 5 Slim (disc): was AU$799.95 now AU$578 on eBay (EB Games)
Save AU$171.95

This eBay EB Games deal on the PS5 Slim (disc) was down to AU$558 for eBay Plus subscribers last week, but this AU$578 price is still obviously great value. Again, eBay Plus membership is required for this price, but you can always grab a free trial. Use the coupon code SNSM11 at checkout.

Sony  PULSE Explore Wireless Earbuds for PS5
Sony PULSE Explore Wireless Earbuds for PS5: was AU$329.95 now AU$258.98 at Amazon

Save AU$70.97

You don't hear much about these wireless buds made especially by Sony for PS5, but they exist, and our colleagues over at TechRadar thought they were good. They're almost perfect for the PlayStation Portal, and can double as your commuting 'phones if you fancy the PlayStation branding. They feature multi-device connectivity, integrated mics (for both gaming and phone convos) and AI-enhanced "noise rejection".

  Stellar Blade
Stellar Blade: was AU$124.95 now AU$79 at Amazon

Save AU$45.95

This brilliant action RPG has been very shy of discounts since launch, so while AU$80 is pretty steep as far as PS5 game discounts go, if you've had your eye on Stellar Blade you'll know this is a good price. It's one of the most visually dazzling PS5 exclusives to date, with a gorgeous K-Pop soundtrack and engrossing combat.

  Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws: was AU$109.95 now AU$59 at Amazon

Save AU$50.95

A big 46% saving on this sumptuous open world Star Wars game. It's a little divisive, but Ubisoft is continually shaving off at its rougher edges, and if you love a cheerful mix of low-stakes stealth and third-person shooting, there's no reason you won't love this. Outlaws only released in late August, so this is a bargain for a relatively new game.

  Dragon Age The Veilguard
Dragon Age The Veilguard: was AU$109.95 now AU$69 at Amazon

Save AU$40.95

A brilliant discount on this very recently released BioWare RPG, which we didn't expect to get this cheap so soon. According to our review it's "an approachable, expansive action-oriented RPG," and a "true end to whatever the franchise was before".

EA FC 25
EA FC 25: was AU$109.95 now AU$49 at Amazon

Save AU$60.95

This year's sportsball videogame is definitely the most recent in the series. We called it "highly playable, yet naggingly familiar", which is the annualised sports series vibe in a nutshell. Still, AU$49 only a couple months since release is hard to argue with.

  NBA 2K25
NBA 2K25: was AU$109.95 now AU$44 at Amazon

Save AU$65.95

It's not uncommon for 2K's NBA series to drop dramatically in price just months after release, and the most recent instalment isn't breaking the trend. That makes it a brilliant stocking stuffer, or else just a financially viable thing to buy for yourself (though as is usually the case with NBA 2K, expect to be pestered with in-game monetisation schemes; if you can ignore those, it's a brilliant series).

  Dead Space (remake)
Dead Space (remake): was AU$89.95 now AU$22.40 at eBay

Save AU$67.55

A bonanza discount on this highly regarded horror remake, which was met with unanimous praise when it released in 2022 (though presumably not enough sales for EA to quickly issue a Dead Space 2 remake). This discount requires the coupon code BLKFR at checkout, otherwise it's a still-decent AU$28.

  Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed: was AU$99.95 now AU$59 at Amazon

Save AU$40.95

Considering this remake only released a matter of weeks ago, this 41% discount is very generous indeed. It's a brilliant and innovative platformer with a lot of old school Disney charm, and it's the kind of game that makes an easy Christmas gift for PS5 owners young and old.

  Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2: was AU$49.95 now AU$20 at Amazon

Save AU$29.95

It may be a PS4 game but Red Dead Redemption 2 still looks beautiful, even though it hasn't been updated to take advantage of the PS5 (not to mention the PS5 Pro). This is one of the most lavish videogame productions to date, with an epic 40+ hour narrative and a story that can rival the great westerns.

Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday deals in Australia

Nintendo Switch OLED + Super Mario Wonder + 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo Switch OLED + Super Mario Wonder + 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online: was AU$552.95 now AU$479 at eBay

Save AU$110

While eBay was selling this bundle previously for an amazing AU$360, and then AU$429, AU$479 is still a great price (AU$489, once shipping is factored in). With this Switch OLED bundle you're getting the console, a copy of the criticially acclaimed Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and a 12 month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. It may be drawing to the end of its life, but the Switch has literally thousands of games, and will keep you (or a loved one) very busy for some time to come. This deal requires an eBay Plus membership, for which a free trial is available, and you'll need the coupon code SNSM11 at checkout.

Xbox Cyber Monday deals in Australia

Xbox Series X 1TB Console
Xbox Series X 1TB Console: was AU$799 now AU$659 at The Good Guys

Save AU$140

A chunky discount on this chunky console. While changes to the Xbox Game Pass subscription model weren't well received earlier this year, it's still the best subs model in gaming. It's also the only place you're going to play the likes of Stalker 2, Starfield and Forza Horizon 5 on console.

Xbox Series X|S controller
Xbox Series X|S controller: was AU$89.95 now AU$59 at Amazon

Save AU$20.95

It's not rare to get these on sale, but if you're needing to stock up for some holiday season couch co-op, this is a good price. It's among the most dependable gamepads you can get. You can get white for AU$59 - most other colours are slightly higher priced.

Minecraft 15% off (Digital Code) for Xbox and PC
Minecraft 15% off (Digital Code) for Xbox and PC: was AU$29.95 now AU$25.46 at Amazon

At this point it's unlikely you don't already own Minecraft, but in case you're one of the few that doesn't, here's a tidy discount on one of the most popular games of all time. Once you've purchased this code, an email will arrive with a redemption coupon.

Cyber Monday gaming deals FAQ

When will Cyber Monday gaming deals start?

This year's Cyber Monday gaming deals will be occuring a little later than we're used to seeing them. Although they'll still happen on the Monday after Black Friday, that means the 2024 discounts will take place on December 2.

Not that the offers will be limited to that one day, of course. We often see retailers switching their Black Friday offers to Cyber Monday over the course of the weekend, and some reductions will roll on into the week. The best savings will be reserved for Monday itself though, so move fast if you want to take advantage of them.

Where will the best Cyber Monday gaming deals be?

You'll find a number of retailers offering Cyber Monday gaming deals, but there are a few that bring extra value and plenty of stock to the party. You'll find our favorite stores listed below.

Amazon: big variety of deals on consoles, games, toys and more

Dell: Find Alienware monitors, keyboards and gaming laptops

eBay: Coupons for extra discounts on peripherals and games

Fanatical: Steam keys, bundle game offers and more

Green Man Gaming: Variety of games for PC, Mac and console

HP: Peripherals and gaming laptops direct from HP

JB Hi-Fi: Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation consoles, games and more

Mwave: Controllers, gaming laptops, monitors and more

PB Tech: PC parts and accessories to upgrade your setup

Razer: Shop Razer peripherals and laptops straight from the source

Is Black Friday or Cyber Monday cheaper?

Both Black Friday and Cyber Monday are cheap, as retailers often run pretty much the same deals for both events. However, there's far more choice available on Black Friday - stock hasn't run out yet and retailers are attempting to compete in a much more cutthroat arena. The sale is far more popular, which means flash sales, bundle offers, and extra gift card temptations will be more widespread. That tends to make Black Friday the cheaper sale overall, even if many prices stay the same over Cyber Monday.

Are games discounted on Cyber Monday?

Video games themselves rule the roost on Cyber Monday. This is where you'll find the majority of download discounts and even some record low prices on physical copies as well. We've seen this time and time again, so while we don't recommend waiting past a record low price on a new release over Black Friday, you're likely going to have plenty to choose from if you do miss out on the main event.
