PlayStation's official Black Friday 2025 sale is now live (see here). From Nov. 21 to Dec. 1, prices are slashed on a wide range of PS5 games, consoles, accessories, and more.
It's also worth noting that not every deal is live yet, and PlayStation fans should absolutely keep an eye out for even more discounts over the coming days as well.
As it includes a free game, this is arguably the best console deal in the sale, especially if the new Fortnite bundles do nothing for you. Speaking off, the PS5 Fortnite Flowering Chaos bundles are also in the mix at $399.99 for the 825GB digital model or $449.99 for the 1TB disc edition.
You get PlayStation exclusive in-game items and 1,000 V-Bucks, making it the obvious pick for anyone who lives in the Fortnite ecosystem.
It's also worth calling out the the limited edition Ghost of Yotei PS5 bundles dropping to $499.99, a straight $100 off its $599.99 MSRP, including the game. At $500, you're saving $20 versus buying seperately in the sale, and getting a beautiful special edition console to boot.
PlayStation Plus is also discounted as part of the Black Friday sale. New players can currently sign up and score 33% off 12-month memberships.
Those already part of PS Plus can save 33% when upgrading the remainder of their membership from Essential or Extra to Premium or Deluxe.
This is an improvement compared to the deal from Black Friday last year, which had 20% off Essential, 25% off Extra, 30% off Premium, alongside a 25% off Extra upgrade and 30% off Premium upgrade.
While this deal doesn't quite reach the heights of PlayStation's Lunar New Year Sale (25% off Extra, 37% off Premium, and 35% off Premium upgrades), it does match or improve on the 2025 Days of Play Sale (20% off Essential, 25% off Extra, 33% off Premium, and 33% off Premium upgrades).
When to Expect More Gaming Deals
Amazon and Best Buy have also started their official Black Friday sales, both of which will carry on all the way through to Cyber Monday on December 1.
Walmart is already featuring deals from the PlayStation sale, but its official discounts don't start until November 25, or November 24 for those with a Walmart+ membership.
Nintendo's Black Friday sale kicks off on November 23, and will feature up to 50% off games for Switch and Switch 2.

Should You Wait for Black Friday on November 28?
Like I mentioned, Black Friday deals tend to be a little confusing these days. Most retailers will tease plenty of limited time offers throught the whole of November, but the real discounts tend to not come out until at least a week before "Black Friday proper" as I like to call it.
I've been doing this for six years, and in my experience, PlayStation deals tend to stay exactly the same throughout the whole sale.
So if you've been waiting for a good deal on a PS5, controller, or game, these are the deals we're getting. Have no fear, there will be no Black Friday regrets come December, go forth and make any of the purchases you've been eyeing up.
