This year’s best PS5 Black Friday deals – offers on consoles, accessories, games, and more
Refresh
No major early deals … as of yet
If you’ve been hoping to see some discounts arrive – maybe on the Portal, a PS5, or the PS5 Pro – most retailers, at least in the United States, haven’t yet begun any significant discounts. More importantly, none of the previously confirmed PlayStation discounts have appeared early ahead of Black Friday.
So, if you’re after the $100 off the PS5 Pro, the PS5 Digital Edition at $399, or the PS5 1TB at $449.99, it’s best to wait and score one once the Black Friday deals become official. PlayStation has promised its deals will kick off on November 21, 2025, so we expect those to go live in just a few hours.
Discounts will also be available on accessories and digital titles in the online store, so, as my colleague Rob said, it’ll be the best time of the year to score some sweet PlayStation goodies.
We’re only a few hours away
Whether you’re set on scoring a PS5 or PS5 Pro console, some epic accessories, or a title you’ve been eyeing at a discount, we’re only a few hours away now from PlayStation’s official Black Friday deals going live. And who knows, beyond the slate already announced, we might wind up seeing a few surprise deals.
I’m still rocking an original PS5 with Disc Drive from launch, and not only would I like a little more space back on my entertainment console, but the benefits of the PS5 Pro will likely become even more appealing with a sweet discount.
Additionally, discounts on extra DualSense controllers – fingers crossed for some nice editions – as well as the Portal and some games, are also building anticipation.
Be prepared for tomorrow!
Overall, at this stage, and at close of business hours in the UK, the best advice I can give anyone looking for a top Black Friday PS5 deal on either side of the Atlantic today is to wait, if you can.
Sony’s own PS5 deals, filtering through every retailer will be here in a matter of hours, and I really expect it to be hot stuff!
The links and deals are still good on this page as things stand and will remain a great launchpad for tomorrow so do continue to use them if you want to get in position before tomorrow!
Holding out for accessories?
If you’ve already got a PS5 console and are only eyeing up PS5 accessories to enhance your setup – the exact approach I’m taking – then the great news is that there’s going to be loads and loads of discounts on these items from tomorrow too.
Highlight include discounts like $20 / £20 on the PlayStation Portal – but I, for some reason, have a sneaking suspicion we might see it drop lower; $20 / £20 off of DualSense controllers; and $30 / £30 off the Pulse Explore and $20 / £20 off Pulse Elite earbuds and headset respectively.
Nice!
Back to today’s offerings…

If you’re looking for something right now among today’s early Black Friday PS5 deals, then can I recommend what is probably my favorite wired gaming headset? I can? Great!
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wired gaming headset is a belter of a headset, both with and without its DAC unit.
Naturally, though, my advice is simple: if you can, wait.
It’s only a matter of hours before the official Black Friday PS5 deals and cut-price discounts start, and we’ll be seeing them at retailers of all stripes, on both sides of the Atlantic.
I’m particularly interested in a few of the incoming discounts though…
But this is the best PS5 console deal currently running now if you must buy one today…

But! If you absolutely have to get a PS5 console today ahead of the deals, then this the best one I’ve found in the US, and it’s over at Walmart.
The biggest news to get under your noses right away is that the official Sony-mandated Black Friday PS5 deals will kick off properly tomorrow, Friday, November 21.
This is where we’ll see definitive chunks off loads of PS5 gear and games, which I’ll describe some of soon. And it’s also important to remember that these are just Sony’s prices – retailers themselves could still go further, so we could be in for a blockbuster deals period.
Have the deals really started?
It always feels strange to start highlighting Black Friday PS5 deals this far out from the big day itself, but retailers are going live with discounts already on both sides of the Atlantic.
We’re also approaching a bigger more-official day in the Black Friday PS5 deals too…
