PlayStation 5 consoles are up to 20% off for Black Friday

The console wars are heating up once again. Nintendo seemed poised to win the holiday shopping season with the Switch 2, but Sony isn’t having any of it! The PS5 consoles are on rare sale for Black Friday, so if you don’t already have one or are shopping for someone this year who has it on their wishlist, it’s go time! For a limited time, you can (and 1000% should) score a PlayStation for up to 20% off, depending on which version you go for.

If you’re on the fence about which system is right for you, the only logical thing to do is buy all of them. But seriously, the library of epic games accessible to PS5 owners is unparalleled. Even as a lifelong gamer, the PlayStation 5 is the first system where I have consistently played games over again immediately after finishing them the first time.

I listed out the discounted consoles below, along with a few games on sale that are worth snagging, too.

The biggest discount being offered is 20% off this digital slim console. If you’ll be content downloading all of the games you purchase or just streaming games through PlayStation’s subscription service, this is the option for you. You might want to also invest in a memory card to extend the storage capabilities and ensure your system runs at maximum efficiency.

This is the more traditional route, and it’s being offered at an 18% discount. Not only will you be able to play physical copies of games, but the disc drive also plays DVDs and Blu-rays for when you can’t find what you want to watch on streaming services.

The PS5 Pro is currently 13% off. This version offers next-level visuals courtesy of the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution at a higher frame rate that are best showcased on 4K TVs. However, it’s worth noting that only select games offer the enhanced graphics.

Sports fans may want to opt for this bundle, which comes with a disc drive and includes a digital version of the latest NBA 2K title for 18% off. Games like 2K26 and Madden NFL 26 really showcase the insanely realistic visuals that the PS5 is capable of. People who don’t know any better could easily be fooled into thinking they’re watching a real game play out.

This special edition model celebrates the release of the highly anticipated game, Ghost of Yōtei, a sequel to the best-selling Ghost of Tsushima. The console comes with a disc drive and includes a download code for a digital version of Ghost of Yōtei. It’s being offered for 17% off while supplies last.
