Sony has officially announced its lineup of PlayStation Black Friday deals, featuring discounts on PS5 hardware, PlayStation VR2, games, and accessories – including the Fortnite Cobalt Star Bundle – at participating retailers and PS Direct. The announcement means we have officially confirmed this year's Black Friday deals for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo.

While the PlayStation Black Friday deals officially begin on November 22, here’s everything confirmed so far, along with details on a potential PS5 console bundle discount, new offers on games like Star Wars Outlaws (down to $49.99), and more.

PS5 Black Friday Deals – Starting Nov. 24

Starting November 22, and ending on December 2 (Cyber Monday) retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart will offer discounts on PS5 hardware, PlayStation VR2, games, and accessories, including the Fortnite Cobalt Star Bundle, which will launch alongside the new Black Friday promotions.

A recently deleted PS5 ad hinted that the console bundle might be priced as low as $379.99, but this has not been officially confirmed by Sony following the ad's removal from YouTube. There is also currently no word on whether the PS5 Pro will also see a discount or a bundle deal.

DualSense controllers will be discounted by up to 25%, which could bring their price down to at least $56.25 following the recent price increase ($74.99). Pricing may vary by retailer, so stay tuned for more details when the deals go live on Friday.

Moreover, PlayStation VR 2 will be up to 40% off, a collosal discount, potentially bringing it down to ~$330-$360 depending on whether it's the Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle ($599.99) or just the standard VR headset ($549.99).

Sony has also recently confirmed its PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup for November 2024, and it includes the return of Rockstar’s GTA 5 in an exciting month for subscribers. Heavy hitters Dying Light 2: Stay Human and Like a Dragon: Ishin also joined the subscription service from November 19 onwards.

Premium/Deluxe members also gain access to the Sony Pictures Catalog, featuring up to 100 movies available to stream on demand. During the Black Friday promotion, additional discounts on recent movie releases will also be available to all PS5 and PS4 players.

PS5 Black Friday Deals Already Live

Star Wars Outlaws (PS5)

Most PS5 deals will go live from November 22, but there are already a some sneaky select deals that you might want to consider before the official deals kick in. For starters, Star Wars Outlaws is already on sale for Black Friday, $20 off its original list price, and down to just $49.99 for at least the next few weeks.

The deal also features Amazon's exclusive limited edition content pack, which includes Rogue Infiltrator cosmetics for Kay and Nix. It's likely the best deal we're getting on the game before Christmas, so snap it up if you've been waiting for a sale, or want to gift it to someone over the holidays. Amazon's Black Friday sale kicks off tomorrow (Nov. 21), so we fully expect even more PS5 deals to go live then as well.

When Is Black Friday 2024?

We hope you've prepared your wallets, because it's Black Friday season. During the biggest sales event of the year, keep an eye out for price drops on the games you've been waiting to add to your library. The same can be said for TVs, gaming PCs, Apple products, and more. Whatever you're in the market for, right now is probably one of the best times to make your biggest purchases.

The actual date of Black Friday in 2024 falls on November 29 this year, but the deals season began a lot sooner than that. In other Black Friday news, Nintendo has also recently announced its sale plans for Black Friday, with discounts on Tears of the Kingdom, Joy-Con controllers, and more confirmed to be on sale in the coming days. Xbox has also confirmed its deal lineup, with plenty of offers already live.
