I’m vetting the best Black Friday PS5 deals live — biggest sales on consoles, games and accessories right now

Snag the PlayStation 5’s latest VR headset, the PSVR 2, for $100 off, and this bundle also throws in one of the best PSVR 2 games, Horizon Call of the Mountain, at no extra cost. The PSVR 2 brings serious high-quality gaming credentials with a 4K OLED picture at up to 120Hz refresh rate and one of the best VR controllers around, the VR 2 Sense.

Horizon Forbidden West doesn’t significantly depart from the formula set by its predecessor, Horizon Zero Dawn, but that’s not a bad thing as its PS4 forefather was already a highly compelling open-world action/adventure. And the few tweaks that Forbidden West does make are entirely for the better, building upon what worked and refining various gameplay systems.

This deal knocks 20% off the Asus ROG Rapture GT6 mesh Wi-Fi system. Available in white or black, this mesh router two-pack lets you keep one of the devices right next to your PS5. That way, you can connect it via Ethernet without having to run cables across your living room.

Now if you have a PS5 Pro, you’re going to want one of the best Wi-Fi 7 routers instead of this Wi-Fi 6 one. That’s why I’ve highlighted one of Asus’ latest Wi-Fi 7 gaming routers below this deal.

We awarded the Sony PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds a 4-star score in our review. These gaming buds pack big, immersive and high-fidelity sound, and are extremely comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions. They also feature multipoint connectivity so you can switch seamlessly between your PS5 and other devices.

Right now, the Pulse Explore earbuds are $30 off at Amazon, which means they’re the cheapest they’ve ever been. You can also find them for the same price at Walmart, Best Buy and PlayStation Direct.

Sony just slashed a huge $51 off the Inzone H9 II gaming headset at Amazon. That means this headset is now at its lowest ever price.

The wireless gaming cans use the same drivers as the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, which are some of the best over ears you can buy. Like the XM6’s, the H9 II features powerful ANC to isolate you while you game, as well as spatial 360 sound and a customizable EQ.

In our PlayStation Pulse Elite review, we said this headset will easily fit into your PS ecosystem, thanks to the classic black and white colors. This headset is very comfortable and its long battery life means you won’t run out of juice mid-battle. It utilizes Tempest 3D Audio to create immersive soundscapes, and you can customize sound profiles too.

We’ve been highlighting the best PS5 game deals across retailers like Amazon and Best Buy, but don’t overlook the PlayStation Store, which is running its own absolutely massive Black Friday sale on digital PS5 and PS4 games. There are deals from just $1, and some of the biggest games of the moment are discounted, including Call of Duty Black Ops 7 (15% off), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (20% off) and The Outer Worlds 2 (20% off). There are almost 2,000 individual deals to choose from in this annual seasonal sale, so head over to PlayStation Store and check out the selection. There’s sure to be at least a few deals that catch your eye!

One of my favorite gaming experiences this year was blasting through Elden Ring: Nightreign with a couple of colleagues (well, they did the blasting, I just cowered in the corner and tried not to die), and if you want to jump into a co-op-focused Souls experience, Nightreign has dropped to its lowest price at Amazon. It’s on sale for $24, down from $39, and now is a great time to buy as the game’s much-anticipated DLC chapter is set to launch next week.

Bummed that you can’t play Mario Kart World on your PS5? Fret not, get Sonic Racing CrossWorlds instead! Right now, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is available for just $39 at Amazon, saving you over $30. In our review, we said that this game “makes Mario Kart World look like child’s play.”

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is an extremely fun, chaotic karting game which presents a bit of a learning curve, and it wins big when it comes to smooth drifting and air tricks that give you significant boosts. Voice acting is a nice touch, and extensive kart and ‘Gadget Plate’ customization means you can strategize in different ways and fine-tune your style. For me, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is the karting game of the year.

The latest Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game for PS5 is nothing short of a nostalgic delight. A remastered take on THPS 3+4 from way back when, it offers updated graphics, a mix of new music and classic soundtracks, and the same super-addictive, arcadey gameplay as the original. Grab a copy now and shred the gnar for just $29 at Walmart. Ultimately, this is the game that finally convinced me to upgrade to the PS5.

As someone who owns a PS5 Slim (and absolutely loves it), I can’t recommend this console enough. Right now, the PS5 Slim Disc Edition is available for $449 at Amazon. We awarded this nifty console 4.5-stars in our review, and we praised it for its thinner, lighter build compared to the OG PS5, and its performance is something to behold too. Load times are quick, and graphics are fantastic.

I’ve been hovering over the “buy now” button on the PS5 DualSense Edge controller for the last few days, and now that Black Friday (and most importantly, payday) has arrived, my temptation levels are ratcheting up even further. This Pro-style controller offers customizable button layout profiles and swappable joy-stick modules, but most importantly, in my case, the addition of two back buttons. DualSense Edge is down to $169 (was $199) for Black Friday, and this is a BF deal that I suspect I will finally pull the trigger on over the next few hours.

The original Dead Rising will always be linked to the Xbox 360 console in my head, but did you know a swanky remaster/remake of the zombie-slaying classic was released last year? Called Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, it preserves the spirit of the 2006 original but with a shiny new graphical coat of paint. It proves that a great game never gets old, as the formula of slaying thousands of the undead in a shopping mall is still a hoot. Right now, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is $19 (was $49), which is a great deal on a loving reworking of a true 360 classic.

Here’s one deal I definitely didn’t expect to see this Black Friday: PS5 Slim – Ghost of Yotei Limited Edition is $100 off at PlayStation Direct. Usually, limited edition consoles sell out in the pre-order phase, so to see one on sale is a very pleasant surprise. It’s the same PS5 Slim you know and love, just decked out in stunning Ghost of Yotei artwork. If you’re a fan of Sucker Punch’s samurai series, it’s the perfect collector’s item. It also comes with a full copy of the game, so if you haven’t played this excellent PS5 exclusive yet, this LE console is a great pick.

2023’s Lords of the Fallen has had an interesting lifespan. It was a second stab at a Soulslike, following the first attempt in 2014, and while it was a step up, it still had some major issues. But the developers have worked hard over the past two years to enhance the experience and even released a massive free 2.0 update earlier this year. It’s in a really good place now, so if you like Soulslike games, Lords of the Fallen for $14 at Amazon is a deal not to miss.

Earlier this year, my PS5 Pulse headset gave up the ghost, and so I was on the hunt for a new alternative. I opted for the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P at the suggestion of a colleague, and over the past couple of months, I’ve been loving these cans. Though now I’m wondering if I should have waited a little while, because the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P headset is on sale for $79 at Amazon, that’s a $30 discount on a multi-purpose headset that works on PS5, PS4, PC and more. It offers strong sound for the price, and is wireless with a removable mic.

Outside of Mario and Banjo-Kazooie, Astro Bot is probably the best platformer I’ve ever played, and I was delighted when it won our GOTY vote last year. Right now, you can pick up Astro Bot for $39 at Best Buy. This charming adventure is a love letter to PlayStation’s history with numerous references to classic games and modern favorites, and its levels are highly inventive, ensuring you never get bored with the platforming basics. Adding even more value, it’s been regularly updated with post-launch content, giving you loads of new levels to enjoy.

Battlefield 6 is my pick for the best shooter of 2025, and it’s just got its first-ever discount for Black Friday. Head over to Best Buy, and you score Battlefield 6 on sale for $59, that’s a $10 saving. This latest entry in the online shooter series is a real return to form, bringing back classic Battlefield classes and modes. With Battlefield’s signature blend of tight gunplay and massive scale multiplayer matches, it’s a frenetic shooter; you’ll be playing long into 2026.

Borderlands 4 is the latest installment in the looter-shooter saga, and has been called a return to form for the franchise after the (somewhat) divisive third entry. Borderlands 4 is on sale for $47 at Best Buy, that’s a $22 discount. In our review, we said, “There are a few things holding Borderlands 4 back from being a must-play for everyone, but for longtime fans of the series, it ticks all the right boxes and makes shooting enemies to get loot as joyous an experience as it ever has been.” This one is a must-play for looter-shooter fans.

One of 2025’s most acclaimed GOTY contenders, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has dropped to a new low price over on Best Buy. This medieval RPG sees you play Henry of Skalitz, the son of a blacksmith caught up in a sprawling adventure full of bandits, thieves and noblemen. Packing an authentic historical setting, dozens of quests, and the freedom to approach objectives how you wish, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is one of the most immersive RPG experiences since Baldur’s Gate 3. It also looks excellent on PS5 with stunning sights all over.

PS5’s PSVR 2 accessory is one of the best VR headsets out there, and it’s a huge step up from the original PSVR. The single cord setup alone is a real game-changer. Right now, PSVR 2 is on sale for $299 at Amazon, which is a $100 discount. Best of all, this deal is on the Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle, which includes the PSVR 2 exclusive game set in the world of Horizon: Zero Dawn. It’s one of the PSVR 2’s best blockbusters and a showcase of the headset’s tech.

You can never have too many DualSense controllers (at least, that’s what I tell myself to justify buying yet another one!). If you want an extra pad for some holiday season co-op gaming, or just because you fancy a new shade, DualSense controllers start from $54 for Black Friday. This includes the basic white model, alongside more exciting colorways like Midnight Black, Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue and Gray Gamouflage.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is clearly the PS5 Black Friday deal that everybody wants because Amazon is now sold out of the superhero sequel. Fortunately, Spider-Man 2 is in stock for $29 at Best Buy. This follow-up to the best-selling Spider-Man PS4 won Tom’s Guide’s GOTY in 2023, and more than two years later, it’s just as thrilling. You play Spider-Men, Peter Parker and Miles Morales, as they team up to defend New York City from a new wave of iconic villains, including Kraven the Hunter, Sandman and Venom.
