If you've delayed upgrading from a PS4, are considering jumping into PS5 for the first time, upgrading to PS5 Pro, or thinking of a gift for a friend or family member, this year's Black Friday deals are likely to be the best time of year to get PS5 hardware, accessories, or games for their lowest ever prices - or at least at severely discounted prices.

We've been reviewing all of the latest PS5 games and PS5 hardware throughout the year, so we know what's worth your money and what's best to avoid. This has enabled us to cherry-pick the very best Black Friday PS5 deals. Back up by years of experience in covering the biggest deals and Sales events, we are confident you can trust our recommendations.

Also, now that you can buy a PS5 Pro easily, we're hoping that this could mean discounts on the normal PS5 and great offers on bundles of the current Slim model in particular.

Black Friday PS5 deals FAQs

When do Black Friday PS5 deals start in 2024?

Black Friday PS5 deals will officially happen on November 29 this year. However, we've all seen this movie before and know that retailers will roll out some of their best deals before this date and throughout November.

Which retailers have the best Black Friday PS5 deals?

Lots of retailers offer their own Black Friday deals on all kinds of products, including the PS5. Depending on your region, we recommend following these major retailers the most closely:

US

Amazon:
the largest selection of discounts

UK

Amazon:
the broadest selection of discounts
Argos: regularly price matches other retailers

What kind of Black Friday PS5 deals should I expect?

This Black Friday marks the beginning of the fifth year of Sony's current-gen console, and the first year of the PS5 Pro's existence. As a result of the latter being released, we're hopeful of seeing some great price cuts and bundles on the regular PS5 (the Slim model), and it could mark the best time ever to jump into PS5.

Elsewhere we're almost certain to see swathes of cuts across PS5 games, headsets, controllers - DualSense discounts could be particularly attractive - internal and external storage solutions, and more.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a PS5?

If you've waited until October or November time to potentially buy a PS5 then the Black Friday PS5 deals is definitely the best time to purchase Sony's current-generation console. While the resit of the year is never a stranger to occasional price drop on the console, it's at Black Friday that we regularly see new or record-equalling low prices on the console as well as attractive bundles too.

This might not be the case for the recently released PS5 Pro but we're hopeful of more bundles appearing for that premium console too.
