PlayStation’s 2025 Black Friday sale is already live, running through to December 1. As part of the sale, a whole bunch of brilliant games have already been discounted across all major retailers.
For the uninitiated, Black Friday deals tend to go live a week early these days, so while Black Friday isn’t until Nov. 28, we’ve already got all the best discounts on PS5 games to check out.
To make things a little easier for you, I’ve gathered up all my top picks and split them across the latest and greatest hits for 2025, and then the rest of the gems that have featured across the PS5’s almost five-year life cycle.
2025 PS5 Games on Sale for Black Friday
Standout offers for 2025 PS5 games include a 2025 Game of the Year nominee, Death Stranding 2, for $49.99. That’s $20 off, and matches the best deal on the game so far this year.
There’s also $20 discounts on big Konami hits like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and Silent Hill f, both also down to $49.99 from $69.99. Both of these can be found in Best Buy’s Black Friday sales.
I love to sing the praises of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 as well, and that’s just hit its lowest price ever as part of the Black Friday sales. It’s just $30 at Amazon right now, a huge $40 in savings.
There’s plenty more new games to check out in the sales as well, like Assassin’s Creed Shadows for $34.99, Battlefield 6 for $59.45, EA Sports FC 26 for $29.99, Borderlands 4 for $47.99, and more.
It’s also worth noting that not every deal is live yet, and we can see new offers go live all the way through to Black Friday proper on November 28.
More PS5 Game Deals for Black Friday
There’s some big discounts on first party PlayStation games in the sale as well, especially from the past few years. My top pick is Game of the Year 2024 winner, Astro Bot, for $39.99, which is endless amounts of fun.
You can also pick up Helldivers 2, Spider-Man 2, The Last of Us 1 and 2, all for $29.99. Stellar Blade is down to $39.99, and you can even pick up Horizon Forbidden West for just $19.99.
There’s also games like Final Fantasy’s 1-6 Pixel Collection for $39.99, which has dropped to its lowest price ever, and Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake for $34.99.
Other standout offers in the PlayStation 2025 Black Friday sale include $100 off PS5 consoles and PlayStation VR2 bundles, $20 off DualSense Controllers and PlayStation Portal, and up to 33% off PlayStation Plus memberships.
There are plenty more games on sale that we haven’t mentioned either, so be sure to check out the full PS5 sales pages at retailers like Amazon as well.

Should You Wait for Black Friday on November 28?
Black Friday deals are more confusing than ever these days. Most retailers spend November teasing limited-time offers, but the reality is that the deepest discounts rarely show up until about a week before what I like to call “Black Friday proper.” Early deals can be tempting, but they often don’t beat the prices that land closer to the main event.
Having tracked PlayStation sales for six years, one thing is clear: once a PlayStation deal hits, it usually stays put for the duration of the sale. That means the prices you see now for consoles, controllers, and games are very likely the ones you’ll see through to December. If you’ve been holding out for a good deal, there’s no need to wait any longer.
These offers are solid, reliable, and unlikely to get any better. Go ahead and grab the what you’ve had your eye on, there’s no risk of Black Friday regret, only the satisfaction of scoring exactly what you wanted at a price that finally makes sense.
