Black Friday PS5 deals are landing all around us, but I’ve had my eyes on these shelves since October – holding out for all the biggest discounts. I’m not interested in the fake deals, price hikes, or anything less than the year’s record-low price, I’m hunting down all the biggest offers on the games and tech we actually recommend getting your hands on.

Thankfully, I’m already seeing plenty of offers that satisfy these strict conditions. Between the cheapest rate I’ve ever seen on the PS5 Slim, brand new record-low prices on some of the biggest games on the market, and particularly heavy discounts on third party accessories, there’s plenty up for grabs right now. Sony’s official sale is in the wild, retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy have all launched their holiday discounts, and the turkey is just four days from the oven. It’s time to get ourselves some Black Friday PS5 deals.

View today’s best deals at Amazon

I started this hunt by sprinting through every retailer, bookmarking discounts on the games, headsets, controllers, and SSDs that we’ve had our hands on over the last few years. From there it was a price-matching game, comparing all these savings across the entire web to find the lowest price possible. Then I took to the history books, making sure that today’s offers actually represent the lowest prices we’ve ever seen, or at least near that threshold – and certainly the best discounts of the year to-date.

That leaves us with fifteen Black Friday PS5 deals that I know haven’t been cheaper in the past, and sit on tech and games that are actually worth your time.

The PS5 Slim has just plummeted down to a record-low price at Amazon, with a full $75.99 off the final cost. That’s excellent news for anyone after a disc-based console – I’ve only ever seen those numbers tick down to $449 in the past.

 – 4TB is a massive amount of space for your PS5 but with this SSD constantly having to free up space would become a thing of the past. Seeing this Samsung 990 Pro SSD for PS5 below $300 cements it as one the best Black Friday PS5 deals I’ve spotted this year at Best Buy.

With a saving of $20, the latest Dragon Ball game has dropped in price to just $49.94, which isn’t the lowest PS5 game I’ve found in this year’s sale, but it’s a big deal as this also happens to be first the first ever discount Sparking Zero has had yet.

10. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless | $349.99 $279.99 at Amazon
Save $70 – 
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is my favorite gaming headset out there, but this top-tier pair of cups rarely drops below $300. I have seen them drop in price to $279 in the past, but the headset regularly bounces back to above the $300 rate, so it’s worth catching this incredible headset for this price while you still can this Black Friday.

Buy it if:

✅ You don’t want to worry about charging
✅ You play across PlayStation and Xbox
✅ You value high-end audio

Don’t buy it if:

❌ You just want a plug and play headset

We’re still days away from November 29 and already this Black Friday is a great time for picking up recent releases as a discount. While it’s pretty usual to see physical PS5 games get cheaper with each month that passes, it can take a while before brand-new games see considerable savings. With that in mind, this Black Friday is notable for the sheer amount of 2024 PS5 games, some just over a month old, receiving their first-ever discounts.
