When is Black Friday? In 2025, Black Friday is set for Friday, November 28. It’s one of the best times of the year to score deep discounts on Nintendo Switch consoles, games, and accessories from major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon. Many of these sales are expected to carry over until Cyber Monday, December 1. Is the Nintendo Switch really cheaper during Black Friday? Absolutely. The Nintendo Switch is almost always cheaper on Black Friday and Cyber Week. Retailers also slash prices on popular console packages, accessories, and games, with saving that can easily reach $100 or more. This sales event is usually the price time to get a Switch or Switch 2. Nintendo rarely lowers the prices on its devices and games, so it can be tough to find discounts outside of special events or promotions.How did we choose these early Black Friday deals?At ZDNET, we only highlight Nintendo Switch deals worth your money — the same kind we’d consider ourselves. For this roundup, I specifically sought out Switch models, games, and accessories that were about 15% off or more. Black Friday is still several weeks away, so significant discounts are not yet available. Knowing this, I expanded my search to include lesser discounts to fill out the list. Although some price drops aren’t as deep as others, they’re still worth consideration because they offer unique value in other areas.I considered hands-on experience, real-world performance, and customer feedback. Every recommendation on this list is backed by careful research and expert insight so that you can confidently shop these early Black Friday sales.What are the best Black Friday deals?ZDNET’s experts have been searching through early Black Friday sales to find the best discounts.

Maria Diaz/ZDNETAs a smart home reviewer, I’m particularly fond of robot vacuums. I enjoy unboxing, setting up, and testing them, and I love seeing new technologies emerge each year. Even if robot vacuums look similar, each one is actually quite different, which means I’m constantly learning new things about these devices. We test dozens of robot vacuums each year at ZDNET, both in our lab and at home. As a result, I’m always writing reviews for different models and updating our choices for the best units you can buy.
