The best Black Friday PS5 deals are one of the best ways to grab a new Slim or PS5 Pro model and build up your games and accessory collection while saving some cash at the same time. With the PS5 now five years old (if you can believe that) so there's a plethora of physical games, controllers, headsets, SSDs, and more that have regularly seen some hefty savings over the years - and 2025 is looking to be no different.
Last year, the newly improved PS5 Pro happened to launch around the time the best Black Friday gaming deals started to drop. Surprisingly, this resulted in some UK retailers shaving off cash off the new Sony console, which is almost unheard of when it comes to fancy new tech. If that wasn't great enough, 2024 releases that had barely spent time on the shelves joined in on the savings action and dropped in price for the very first time - everything from Silent Hill 2 to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was the cheapest they had been so far.
This November will mark a whole year since the PS5 Pro launched, so it's highly likely it could be the talk of the town again with a whole new discount. Bundles could also be a highlight, with Sony launching brand-new Astro Bot PS5 Slim bundles this year that are already deals to begin with. No matter what's in store, we're using our years spent in the Black Friday deal mines to detail everything you can expect to dig up during this year's sales.
Black Friday PS5 Deals - What to expect
There's bound to be plenty of Black Friday PS5 deals in 2025, especially if last year was anything to go by. November 2024 was full of savings on brand-new games, controllers, headsets, PS5 SSDS, and of course - the PS5 itself, which hopefully is sign of things to come.
As I briefly touched on before, the PS5 happened to drop during November last year. Despite launching just in time for the biggest sales event of the year, it's pretty unheard of for brand-new consoles to see any kind of savings. Those based in the UK, however, were in for a treat as retailers like EE dropped money off the brand-new PS5 Pro console on the lead-up to November 29. With this year's sales marking the big one-year anniversary of the upgraded console, that will hopefully spell out savings for those in the US too - making it a prime time for those who have been waiting to make the upgrade.
I fully expect there to be plenty of savings on PS5 Slim consoles too, especially where bundles are concerned. During last year's sales retailers like Walmart launched their own disc edition bundles, which even came with an extra DualSense controller all for just $474.98. Since then, Sony has launched a brand-new Astro Bot PS5 Slim bundle for both the digital and disc editions of the console, which would be primed for some Black Friday savings. Already, the new Astro Bot bundles provide a rare saving on the console itself, so it's definitely one to watch as any further price drops would make it an absolute steal.
Grabbing one of the best Black Friday PS5 deals is a great alternative if can't budget for a new PS5 even if there are discounts in play. Last year, SSDs from the biggest names in the business, from Samsung, Corsair, and Western Digital all saw their own fair share of savings. There weren't a ton of record lows, but grabbing 2TB worth of storage at a discount will still be cheaper than forking out for a PS5 Pro.
Course, if we see a repeat of the kind of Black Friday savings we saw last year, expect to see record-low price drops on the latest games. A ton of 2024 releases, like Metaphor: ReFantazio, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, and even Astro Bot saw their best savings so far, so some 2025 games are bound to follow suit. This year, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, Ghost of Yōtei, and Elden Ring Nightreign are some of the most highly-anticipated releases, so I'd keep a close eye on them over Black Friday for sure.
If you're happy with your PS5 and already have plenty to play, Black Friday 2025 won't be shy about savings on the best PS5 accessories either. The jury is still out on if we'll finally see the Sony DualSense controller see any major discounts, but there's plenty of third-party alternatives, like the Victrix Pro BFG or the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro to watch out for instead. Where headsets are concerned, I'd keep an eye on the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5P, which dropped to under $100 last year. It's one of the best PS5 headsets you can pop on your head, and with SteelSeries being a regular fixture of Black Friday, I suspect it'll see similar savings this time around.
When will the Black Friday PS5 deals start?
Black Friday officially begins on Friday, November 28, a day earlier than last year. You can also expect the best Black Friday PS5 deals to start popping up at the start of that week, and as early as October (if 2024 and 2023 are anything to go by). We recommend keeping an eye on offers from October onwards if you don't want to miss out on the biggest savings on PS5 console bundles, game, accessories and more.
