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. We expect many of these sales to carry over until Cyber Monday, December 1. Is the PlayStation 5 really cheaper during Black Friday? Absolutely! Sony’s PlayStation 5 always sees significant discounts during Cyber Week. Retailers often cut prices on console bundles, controllers, and popular games, with price drops usually exceeding $100. This shopping event is one of the best times to pick up a PS5 or expand your game library. At the time of this writing, the price drops are rather humble. We are still in the lead-up to Black Friday, so expect things to improve later.How did we choose these Black Friday deals?At ZDNET, we only highlight PlayStation deals worth your consideration; the same kind we’d consider ourselves.

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.
