Black Friday gaming deals are here and, while we’ve been seeing gaming deals crop up all week, now that the big day is finally here we expect to see even deeper discounts landing throughout today – with many of the week’s best deals still available now.
This year’s Black Friday gaming deals include steep savings on gear, games, and bundles for Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch OLED, and PS5 – though we aren’t seeing much in the way of discounts on Sony’s coveted console right now.
Considering how many deals are available right now, we’ve put together this live blog to share the biggest and best discounts as we spot them, as well as occasional advice and warnings about what you should and shouldn’t impulse buy when it comes to gaming hardware.
We expect these price cuts will last through Black Friday weekend and into Cyber Monday on November 28 and we’ll be here with you the whole time so you don’t miss the biggest discounts. Though, you may have to act fast in some cases as deals on the likes of the best PS5 SSDs are being snapped up quickly.
If you have a particular platform in mind, we have hubs for the best Black Friday PS5 deals, Xbox Series X Black Friday deals, and Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals. We’ll be updating those consistently over the next few days but for the most up-to-date feed of deals, keep your eyes here on the live blog.
The single, most important piece of advice we’d like to leave you with is that while we are seeing steep discounts on gaming hardware, accessories, and the games themselves, it is easy to get carried away and spend more than you mean to. Make a list of what you think you need, be it new games, more storage space on your console, or a second gamepad to play co-op games, and try to stick to it.

Hi folks! It’s Vic Hood, TRG’s Associate Editor. I’ll be bringing you the best Black Friday gaming deals for the next few hours before handing over to my esteemed colleague Rhys Wood. So let’s get cracking.
If you’re on the hunt for a great PlayStation 5 headset then you’re in luck. We’re already seeing discounts on some of the best PS5 headsets right now, in both the US and UK, at a variety of retailers.
In the US, you can save just over $30 on the PlayStation PULSE 3D Wireless Headset, $20 on the Razer X Kaira, $50 on the Astro Gaming A50, and over $90(!) on the EPOS H3 Hybrid.
In the UK, too, there’s £18 off the PlayStation PULSE 3D Wireless Headset (and £20 off the Midnight Black edition), $70 off the Astro Gaming A50, nearly $30 off the Razer Kaira X, and a whopping £70 off the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+.
While I expect some of these headsets will come down in price closer to the big day on Friday, if you’re wanting a discount on a great PS5 headset then you can’t go wrong with these deals.
US
PlayStation Pulse 3D Wireless Headset: Was $100 now $69 at Amazon
Save $31 – The impressive Pulse 3D headset has now reached its historic lowest price. It’s our pick for the best PS5 headset, too, so you can rest assured of its quality for the budget price.View Deal
ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Gaming Headset: Was $299.99 now $249.99 at Amazon
Save $50 – This is the lowest the ASTRO gaming headset has been. While the price is still pretty high if you can splash out, it’s well worth it for the peerless audio and comfort.View Deal
EPOS H3 Hybrid Wired Gaming Headset: Was $179.99 now $87.48 at GameStop
Save $92.51 – This is the lowest price for this headset yet, it’s a bargain considering its crystal clear audio. With such an aggressive price we’d recommend looking at it sooner rather than later before the stock is all gone. View Deal
UK
Pulse 3D Wireless Headset: Was £89.99 now £71.99 at Very
Save £18 – Thanks to the latest PS5 update this headset is now a must-buy. This is a good deal to have on such a great headset but it is worth keeping it in mind and waiting to see if it gets lower toward Black Friday. View Deal
PULSE 3D Midnight Black Wireless Headset: Was £91.60 now £69.99 at Amazon
Save 24% – The Pulse 3D is our number one PS5 headset as, at full price, it’s an affordable way of significantly adding 3D audio to your games, so a £20 discount makes it even more appealing. Sony really pushed immersive sound when it revealed the PS5 and, in our experience, it genuinely does enhance games. View Deal
ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Gaming Headset: Was £319.99 now £249.99 at Amazon
Save $70 – This headset has everything, peerless audio, and amazing comfort, but the only problem is its price. While this is a great price, it has been lower, so we’ll keep you updated if the price drops again. View Deal
It can be a real pain having to delete games off of your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, in order to make space for new ones. The Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card makes that less of a problem, letting you expand your Xbox storage without hassle – simply slide it into the back of your console.
The downside is this handy card is pretty expensive. That’s why I’m relieved to see some discounts on the 1TB version in the run-up to Black Friday. Right now there’s £35 off the Seagate Xbox Expansion Card at Amazon in the UK, bringing the price down to £184.99. In the US, there’s $20 off the Expansion Card, making it just under $200.
That’s still pretty pricey, but I’m hoping we see the price drop further towards the end of this week – especially as we’ve seen it reach £164.99/$189.99 previously. I’ve personally got one of these cards and find the extra 1TB storage it adds to the Xbox Series X’s 1TB means that I rarely have to delete games off my console (unless I go on an Xbox Game Pass downloading spree).
US
Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card | 1TB: Was $220 now $199.99 at Amazon
Save $20 – The Seagate Storage Expansion card for Xbox is a hassle-free, must-have accessory for those who want to increase their console’s storage. While we’ve seen this card drop further in price than this, a $20 discount takes this handy storage device below $200.
View Deal
UK
Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card | 1TB: Was £220 now £184.99 at Amazon
Save £35 – The Seagate Storage Expansion card for Xbox is a hassle-free, must-have accessory for those who want to increase their console’s storage. While we’ve seen this card drop further in price than this, this £35 discount isn’t to be sniffed at.

The best gaming chairs are often expensive. I’ve been looking at picking one up myself this Black Friday, in hope of a decent discount, because I can’t justify to myself spending a huge amount of cash right now. Thankfully, our Hardware Editor Aleksha McLoughlin has scoured the web to put together a list of the best gaming chairs under $250 for Black Friday.
While there’s currently not a huge selection, you can pick up the Respawn 110 Fabric for $212.49, the Razer Enki X for $229.99, or the AutoFull Ergonomic Gamer for $249.99.
We expect a wider variety of gaming chairs to be discounted over Black Friday weekend, with some of these prices likely to fall even further.
Respawn 110 Fabric | was $260 now $212.49 at Amazon
Save $47 – This is the lowest price that we’re able to verify on this Fabric variant of the tried and trusted Respawn 110 gaming chair, as this particular model hasn’t enjoyed a price drop until now. We rarely see fabric seats under the $250 mark, making this offer well worth considering.
View Deal
Razer Enki X | was $299 now $229.99 at Amazon
Save $69 – The Razer Enki X may have been $4 cheaper once in the past, but considering that was all the way back in March, and it’s consistently hovered around $300 since then, we think that now is the perfect time to invest in the Enki X.View Deal
AutoFull Ergonomic Gamer | was $300 now $249.99 at Amazon
Save $50 – This AutoFull chair features something that we rarely see in models under the $250 mark – a footrest. Combine that with the adaptive ergonomics in the lumbar region and you have a chair that’s built for comfort first and foremost.

If you’ve got more than one DualSense controller, then you should seriously consider picking up a PS5 DualSense Charging Station this Black Friday.
Easily one of the best PS5 accessories you can buy, the DualSense Charging Station allows you to charge two gamepads at the same time, saving you from swapping out controllers constantly – and right now it’s at its lowest price to date.
Right now, this essential accessory is just $22.99 at Best Buy in the US and £16.99 at Amazon UK.
US
PS5 DualSense Charging Station: was $30 now $22.99 at Best Buy
Save $7 – It’s never been cheaper to keep your DualSense controllers topped up thanks to this excellent discount. Up to two pads can be charged at the same time, meaning if you own multiple, you can swap out pads when you need to charge to keep longer gaming sessions chugging along smoothly.
View Deal
UK
PS5 DualSense Charging Station: was £25 now £16.99 at Amazon
Save £8 – This discount is notable as it’s the cheapest we’ve ever seen the Charging Station go for online in the UK. If you’re tired of having to slowly charge your DualSense via a USB-C cable, then this deal is a high recommendation from us.

Hey everyone! This is Aleksha McLoughlin, TRG’s Hardware Editor here and I’m running the live blog for the next few hours!
Do you like challenging games? Furthermore, do you enjoy deep discounts on exclusive titles? Well, I have one of the most aggressive PS5 game deals for you! That’s because Demon’s Souls has come crashing down to just $29.99 at Best Buy for a huge $40 saving (over half price!).
It’s not just those in the US that can get the bleeding edge remake for a competitive price point. That’s because Demon’s Souls is also available in the UK for only £34.99 (was £70) at Game, too. If you’ve never played the original PS3 release, or are looking to jump back into the kingdom of Boletaria for less.

Are you someone who wants low latency for Esports titles at an equally competitive price? The Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma is currently selling for its historic lowest-ever price point at Amazon. You can get your hands on the latest wired high-tech Xbox controller for just $99.99 (was $150) for a $50 saving. It’s a return to a price we’ve only seen once this year – but it’s never been bettered!
What we like about the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma for Xbox Series X is how adjustable it is. You can customize your layout with reprogrammable buttons and take advantage of hairline trigger stops for less travel time. A cool touch is the mechanical microswitches in the face buttons for that satisfying clickiness.
Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma | was $150 now $99.99 at Amazon
Save $50; lowest-ever price – This is a return to the cheapest we’ve ever seen the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma which is one of the more in-demand Xbox Series X controllers on the market right now. If you want adaptability at a great price, then this one is hard to beat.View Deal

Interested in having Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus on the go at a reduced rate? You’re in the right place!

On the other side of the fence, there’s the Nacon MG-X Pro which takes heavy inspiration from the Xbox Wireless Controller in approach. It’s selling for only $79.99 at Amazon (was $100) and is compatible with Android phones, so we’ve covered both bases here!

Do you want to make the most out of some of the best fighting games without breaking the bank? If so, you’re in luck. The Hori Fighting Commander Octa is down to just $39.99 (was $50) for a $10 saving at Amazon right now in the US. Don’t fret if you’re based overseas, though, as you can also pick up the fight pad for £39.99 (was £42) at Amazon UK, too.
What we like the most about this fighting game controller is that you have an eight-way gate by the D-pad making certain 3D titles, such as Tekken 7, a little easier to play with analog movement instead of pure digital. This is the cheapest that we’ve seen the gamepad in the US and the UK, making now the ideal time to consider stepping up your game in the likes of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.

One of the better Black Friday gaming deals that we’ve come across is Battlefield 2042 selling at one of the lowest prices on record right now in the US. You can pick up the multiplayer shooter for just $14.99 (was $40) on PS5 and also $14.99 (was $40) on Xbox Series X at Best Buy.
The game itself offers a ton of value especially at considerably under the $20 mark on Xbox Series X and PS5. There are not only your traditional multiplayer modes, which continue to develop with the game’s recent Season 3: Escalation update, but also Portal mode, too. For the low price of entry, you can experience 128-player open warfare scenarios, which can’t really be compared to other shooters on the market right now.
Battlefield 2042 | PS5 | was $40 now $14.99 at Best Buy
Save $25 – It’s one of the lowest prices that we’ve seen on the PS5 version of Battlefield 2042, at better than half price. If you were holding out on playing the latest blockbuster shooter from Dice then this hefty discount could be what turns the tide. View Deal

Heyo, this is a very sleepy Julian Benson, TRG’s Editor-in-Chief, logging on for the 2am to 10am shift here in the UK. What I may be lacking in energy, I am making up with in deals. I am driven by discounts, succored by savings. That’s not a turn of phrase I’d normally allow on the site, but, as I say, it’s very early in the morning.
I’ll have some fresh deals coming up shortly, but first, a little buying advice. We’re seeing some excellent bundles and discounts on the Nintendo Switch OLED, the upgraded spin on Nintendo’s hybrid console. It’s currently on offer for the lowest price we’ve ever seen it in the UK. And there are some great bundles available, too.
Released last October and boasting a better screen, improved battery life, and snazzy color scheme, the Nintendo Switch OLED may seem like the default version of the console to buy. But, while we wait for what seems like an inevitable Nintendo Switch Pro (especially with the way recent Switch games are struggling to run on the hardware), our hardware writer Rhys Wood makes an excellent case for buying an original Nintendo Switch.
Essentially, if you plan on playing the console primarily in docked mode, then you will see none of the advantages of the Nintendo Switch OLED’s upgrades, and you’re better off getting the cheaper Nintendo Switch. Just look at the deals alongside each other (and note that the cheaper Nintendo Switches also come bundled with games and Nintendo Switch Online membership):
Nintendo Switch (Neon) + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 3 Months Switch Online: $299.99 at Best Buy
A very familiar Nintendo Switch bundle will return again for this year’s Black Friday. It includes the Switch console, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 3-month Switch Online membership.View Deal
Nintendo Switch OLED (Refurbished) | was $350 now $314.99 at Best Buy
Save $35 – This is one of the cheapest rates on the Nintendo Switch OLED model we’ve seen in the pre-owned market. If you’re okay getting the console secondhand then you’re knocking $40 off here.
View Deal
Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + Nintendo Switch Online (3 months): was £328 now £259 at Nintendo Store
It’s an even stronger deal in the UK, as the bundle’s price comes in at the cost of just the console itself. Essentially, you’re getting Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and 3 months of Nintendo Switch Online at no extra cost.View Deal
Nintendo Switch OLED: was £304.99 now £269.99 at Smyths Toys
Save £35 – This is quite frankly the best discount we’ve seen yet for the Nintendo Switch OLED. While a marginal upgrade over the base model in docked mode, the console shines in portable mode thanks to its crisp, vivid 720p OLED screen. If you really want your games’ colors to pop on the screen, then the OLED is the perfect console choice.View Deal
Walmart’s selling $10 Nintendo eShop gift cards for $9. At a time where we’re seeing $50 knocked off consoles, and games going for half-price, a $1 discount may not seem like much to shout about but when it’s money on a gift card, you’re looking at a kind of free money. A $10 game bought with a $10 gift card you bought for $9 is creating your own 10% discount on a game of your choosing.
Also, if you’re looking to give a gift to the gamers in your life, this way you aren’t running the risk of buying them a game they already own, you can give them a gift card and let them buy something for themselves.
Walmart’s reduced the $20 and $35 gift cards, too, but the reduction isn’t as good as the 10% off on the $10 gift card, so I’d recommend just buying multiple $10 gift cards.
Nintendo eShop $10: was $10 now $9 at Walmart
Save 10% – A $1 reduction may not seem like much, but if you were planning on buying something in the Nintendo eShop then using a reduced gift card is like applying your own discount to a game. View Deal
There have been some excellent Black Friday Xbox controller deals over the past few weeks, but we’re finally starting to see some deep discounts on the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2.
The Elite is the highly-customizable pro controller that Microsoft released for the Xbox Series X|S and PC. It’s a fantastic gamepad that feels wonderful in the hand and can genuinely improve your game, thanks to its hair triggers and rubberized grip.
Normally setting you back $179.99, you can get an Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 Controller for just $129.99 over at Newegg, so long as you enter the code ‘BFFDAY22’ at checkout.
While not as good as the Newegg deal in the US, you can pick up an Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 at a discount in the UK, too. Amazon is selling the pro gamepad for £142, down from £159.99.
Xbox Elite Series 2 wireless controller: Was $179.99 now $129.99 at Newegg
Save $50 – This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on the best Xbox Series X pad on the market.

This is a strange recommendation as it’s not actually much of a saving, but it’s more for if you’re struggling to lay your hands on a PS5.
You may have been eagerly refreshing our PS5 restock page to grab one of the in-short-supply consoles. Currently, to buy one through Amazon and many other stores, you need an invitation.
However, there’s a great bundle on AntOnline that will get you a PS5, a copy of God of War Ragnarok, and an extra DualSense controller in blood-like cosmic red. The bundle will set you back $609.98, which is basically what buying the God of War PS5 bundle and a discounted DualSense controller would set you back if bought separately. The advantage of this deal is that you can buy it without waiting on an invitation.
This is an appealing bundle. If I was buying a PS5, this is the game and accessory I’d be wanting to pick up, along with a discounted PS plus subscription.
PS5 + God of War Ragnarok + DualSense controller: was $634.98 now $609.99 at AntOnline
Save $25 – While not much of a saving, this bundle comes with one of the best games on the PS5 and an extra controller. What you’re really paying for here is the chance to skip the queues and the need for an invitation. If you’ve been waiting on a PS5, here’s your chance to pick one up.View Deal
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2‘s been out for less than a month, but it’s already enjoying a steep discount at Walmart, dropping from its box price of $69.99 to just $55 on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Activision Blizzard games, and the Call of Duty series in particular, tend not to see big discounts. Many of the older games are still being sold at full price years after release. So to see the new game drop down to $55 is a surprise.
The shooter is seeing a similar discount in the UK, with Amazon selling Modern Warfare 2 for £56.99, down from £69.99.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS5, PS4, XSX): Was $69.99 now $55 at Walmart
Save 21% – This is the best deal we’ve seen on Modern Warfare 2 so far, and with the game out so recently, we’re unlikely to see it drop much further. While it’s not the best game in the series, it’s a fun paramilitary romp.View Deal
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS5): Was £69.99 now £56.99 at Amazon UK
Save 19% – Unsurprisingly, this Modern Warfare 2 discount is the cheapest we’ve seen the game since launch at any major retailer. It’s not the steepest price drop ever, but a solid one for CoD fans eager to get stuck into the new game.View Deal
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox Series X|S): Was £69.99 now £56.99 at Amazon UK
Save 19% – The same deal is available for Xbox Series X|S owners, too. This version supports Microsoft’s Smart Delivery feature, meaning the version that’s best fit for your console will be downloaded.View Deal
If you aren’t seeing a deal you like, one of the best things you can buy during Black Friday are discounted gift cards. They may not seem like an exciting purchase, but you are effectively buying the ability to apply a discount to whatever game you want.
There are currently great discounts on PSN gift cards, both in the US and UK, letting you pick up some of the best PS5 games on the cheap or even to buy a PS Plus subscription, which you should always try to top up during Black Friday
Over on Eneba, you can buy yourself a $100 PSN gift card for $82.71, saving you nearly 20% on the card’s price. Meanwhile, in the UK, at Amazon, you can buy a £75 gift card for £63.68, a £63 gift card for £56.70, and a £38 gift card for £34.20. Those may seem like odd prices, but that’s because these gift cards are meant to be for redeeming a year’s subscription of PS Plus Essential, Extra, or Premium.
PSN gift card $100: was $100 now $82.71 at Eneba
This is a nearly 20% saving on a $100 gift card to buy anything in the PSN store. You could buy yourself a year’s subscription to PS Plus premium and then have money left over to put toward another game, too.View Deal
PlayStation Plus Essential: was £50 now £34.20 at Amazon

The same 35% saving has been applied to the new middle-tier membership for Sony’s gaming subscription service on PS5 and PS4. Added benefits on this level include access to a revolving games catalogue which includes up to 400 PS4 and PS5 games, featuring many big first-party releases such as Demon’s Souls and Death Stranding.View Deal
PlayStation Plus Premium: was £100 now £63.68 at Amazon
And there’s also nearly 40% off the top PlayStation Plus Premium membership. This pricey plan includes everything from the previous two tiers (online multiplayer, free games each month, cloud saves, PS4/PS5 games catalogue) but also adds access to a selection of PlayStation Classics from PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP consoles. Good if you want to relive some iconic titles from gaming’s past like Syphon Filter and Ape Escape.View Deal
What’s this, an actual discount on a PS5? I didn’t know such deals could exist!
In a year where the price of the PS5 has actually increased and stock is still in short supply, it’s amazing to see a retailer has actually knocked money off the hot ticket console. But, if you’re shopping in the UK, you can get a PS5 Digital Edition bundled Just Dance 2023 for £414.98, or with the Pulse 3D wireless headset for £458.98, down from the usual £474.98.
Now if you’re on the fence about a PS5 vs PS5 Digital Edition, they’re basically the same except one of them doesn’t have a disc drive to play physical games. Though, there are rumors that a disc drive accessory is due to be released in 2023 alongside a PS5 Slim. Still, until Sony confirms that attachment, you’ll need to make peace with only playing games you’ve bought in the PSN store.
PS5 Digital Edition + Just Dance 2023: £414.98 at Very
Save £16 – Sure, £16 isn’t a huge discount, but if you want to brag to all your friends about how you got a PS5 for less than full price this may be the biggest discount we see for a while. Certainly, Sony is in no rush to make its hardware ant cheaper.View Deal

Thanks to a free upgrade, you can get Horizon Forbidden West for PS4 and PS5 extremely cheaply in the US and UK right now. GameStop and Tesco are selling off old stock of the PS4 game for just $29 and £20, respectively. Sony also lets you freely upgrade the PS4 version to the PS5 version, even if you use a disc copy of the game.
So if you’re keen to continue Aloy’s adventure and have been holding off for a good deal, this may be the best you see for a while as the cheapest we’ve seen Forbidden West go for before is £24.99.
Horizon Forbidden West (PS4): Was $59.99 now $29 at GameStop

This isn’t the most exciting purchase, I get it, but, if you’re anything like me, then every time your Xbox Wireless controller runs out of charge you think to yourself ‘I should really bulk buy some batteries’. Well, now’s your chance as, for Black Friday, some bog standard AA batteries have been reduced down to a nice affordable price.
You can either get yourself a nice 4-pack of AA high-capacity rechargeable batteries for $5.59, down 60% from their usual $13.99 or, if you want to make sure you’re really never going to run dry, by yourself a pack of 24 batteries for $32.29, down from $37.99.
You’re not left out in the UK. Why not get a 100-pack for £23.79, down 32% from £34.99. If that seems excessive, you can get the smaller and much more cheaply priced 40-pack for £9.38, down from £11.03.

Julian needs a rest. So it’s a somewhat refreshed Vic Hood, TRG’s Associate Editor, taking over for the next few hours.
Black Friday is now fast approaching, so I imagine the deals are going to ramp up a fair bit today before the biggest discounts drop tomorrow on PS5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch products.
If you’re on the hunt for a Switch this Black Friday (or are a new Switch owner) then make sure you avoid these 5 most common mistakes people make with the Nintendo Switch. You’ll thank us later.
If you’re an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S owner, I highly advise you try to pick up a discounted Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription this Black Friday.
Microsoft’s subscription service packs in access to a library with over 100 games, all the benefits of Xbox Live Gold, and access to cloud gaming. It’s great value for money, especially when you consider that new Xbox exclusives are added to the library on day one, when purchasing them alone could set you back over £60/$60.
Usually, I would recommend picking up 12 months Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription but right now there are no decent deals on this membership. There are however discounts on a 3-month membership, which I advise picking up if you don’t want to risk waiting for a 12-month only for it not to appear during Black Friday weekend (though I don’t think that will be the case).
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate | 3 months: Was $39.89 now $25.39 at CDKeys
Save 36% – Typically we would recommend a 12-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription as it’s better value for money, but we’re not seeing good deals on it right now. So if you are after Game Pass Ultimate, and don’t want to wait for the price to drop further, then this is a tasty discount to consider. View Deal
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate | 3 months: Was £32.99 now £20.99 at CDKeys

We’ve already seen some sizeable discounts on PS Plus in the UK (which you will find further down this blog). But we’re expecting these deals could get even better over Black Friday weekend.
After all, Black Friday is the best time to renew your PS Plus membership (or sign up if you haven’t yet). That’s because if you pick up a discounted 12-month membership now then, when it comes to renewing next year, it’ll be Black Friday again and you’ll get another discount. It’s a genius strategy.
Just remember that PS Plus cards have been replaced with gift cards since the subscription service revamp, but there are still discounts to be had and we’ll share them with you right here.
The DualSense and Xbox Wireless Controller are great and all but if you’d rather have a customized gamepad then consider heading over to SCUF which is offering 20% off all its custom controllers right now.
I warn you, these premium gamepads are fairly pricey, but if you’ve been umming and ahhing about whether to create the neon PS5 controller of your dreams, then now is a perfect time.
All you have to do is enter the code ‘CYBER20’ at checkout and you’ll get your discount.

Here at TRG, we’re keeping a keen eye out for PS5 SSD deals. That’s because some of the best PS5 games are pushing upwards of 200GB recently, meaning they very quickly use up the PlayStation 5’s 667GB of space. So the extra storage granted by a PS5 SSD is very welcome.
But, there’s a fair bit to consider when looking for an SSD, including read and write speed. Fortunately, our Hardware Editor Aleksha McLoughlin has explained whether PS5 SSD read and write speeds really make a difference.
Speaking of PS5 SSDs, there are some great discounts on them available right now.
In the US, there’s a chunky $150 off the WD Black SN850 1TB at Amazon. While those in the UK can pick up a Crucial X8 2TB Portable SSD for over £100 off at Amazon.
There are plenty more PS5 SSD deals available right now, which you can check out below too. Act fast, though, as we’re seeing these SSD deals getting snapped up pretty quickly.
US
Samsung 980 Pro 1TB: Was $129 now $119.99 at Amazon
Save $9 – This is the cheapest price we’ve ever seen on the Samsung 980 Pro 1TB model. It may not sound like much, however, you’re really saving $30 here, as the previous MSRP was $150 before it was lowered earlier in the month.View Deal

UK
Crucial X8 2TB Portable SSD: Was £232.31 now £128.15 at Amazon
Save 45% – The Crucial X8 is a simple way to expand your PS5’s storage without getting a more expensive internal SSD. But there are caveats, for a constant connection, you should use the front-facing USB-C port, and PS5 games will still need to be run from the internal storage but PS4 games will run just fine. With that in mind, this is the cheapest we’ve ever seen the Crucial X8.View Deal
Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB PCIe 4.0 M.2: Was £139.50 now £92.99 at Amazon

This deal doesn’t make it as cheap as it used to be (£299 before a price hike), but it’s still an amazing bundle offer that includes a lot of bang for your buck.View Deal

Has God of War Ragnarok convinced you to pick up a PS5? If so then you’ll be pleased to know we’re seeing quite a few Black Friday PS5 bundle deals (particularly in the US) right now that pack in Kratos’ latest adventure.
In our five-star God of War Ragnarok review, we said:
“Building upon the themes of its predecessor, God of War Ragnarok’s emotive narrative shines in its subtler moments, while clever evolutions to combat introduce welcome changes that advance gameplay without oversaturating it. It’s a sequel that is often as brutal as it is poignant – and a fitting next chapter in Kratos and Atreus’ journey.”
In other words, it’s one of the best PS5 games to date and not to be missed.

I’m kicking things off with WWE 2K22 which is available for its lowest-ever price in the US and the UK. Keep in mind, it’s platform-dependent. This means you can lay the smackdown on some Jabronis for a very competitive rate, as WWE 2K22 is selling for just $24.99 (was $70) on PS5. That’s a saving of $45!
Over in the UK, Xbox Series X gamers can pick up WWE 2K22 for only £22.95 (was £65) for £42 off RRP. If you haven’t yet re-lived the thrilling saga of Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero then you can do so without breaking the bank (though you may lay some people out on the mat instead).

It’s an even cheaper deal on the already solid offer that was the PlayStation Hits cut. Although the game launched a fair few years ago now, we think it’s more than playing if you’ve never experienced Kratos’ journey through Norse mythology. This disc copy works natively on both PS5 and PS4, so you can get a great title at an all-star price.
God of War: was $20 now $9 at GameStop
Save $11 – At better than half-price, the God of War soft reboot becomes an even more legendary value for money. The main story is truly unforgettable and the gameplay loop offers even more hours of content for a rate worthy of Godhood. View Deal
God of War: was £15 now £8.99 at Amazon

This lightweight handheld device is built with portability in mind and features a 7-inch glossy Full HD screen that’s ready to take advantage of Nvidia GeForce Now as well as the PlayStation Plus streaming titles, too. If you’re looking for something cheaper than a Steam Deck to stream to, this could be it for a decent price point.

Do you remember the original controller that came with the first Xbox console ever released? That’s right, it’s The Duke. Affectionately named for its hulking size, the plus-sized gamepad made waves, and potential earthquakes if you dropped it (let’s be real) for its focus on ergonomics.
Well, it’s back! Hyperkin’s love letter to the big boi is now available with a substantial discount. You can get your hands (both of them) on the Hyperkin Duke Wired Controller for just $59.99 (was $90) for a $30 saving.

This is Jules signing back on after some much needed kip. Look, we all saw the battery deal I ended my shift on yesterday and I think we can all agree I needed to step away from the computer and… recharge my batteries. Sorry. But not very sorry.
I’m now back and scouring the internet for the finest deals not very much money can buy. My top priorities are consoles, finding you savings on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch OLED, components, and peripherals. However, I will also be flagging great games when I see them.
This first deal goes out to all those UK buyers up late looking for an Xbox Series X. Very is selling the tower of power for just £429.99, £30 off the RRP. We’ve not seen the console on its own for better than that.
If you’re shopping in the US, I’m looking for good prices on the Series X, but in the meantime, you can get yourself a pre-owned Xbox Series S from Gamestop for $229.99 or, if you can get out to a Target, you can buy the all-digital Xbox for $249.99 and get a $50 Target gift card. Though, note that it’s pick-up only.
Xbox Series X | Was £449.99 now £429.99 at Very
Save £30 – This is one of the few discounts on the Xbox Series X we’re seeing in the UK, and it’s a full £30 off the RRP. If you’re looking for Microsoft’s best console, you likely won’t see it cheaper than this.View Deal
Xbox Series S (pre-owned) | Was $279.99 now $229.99 at GameStop
Save $50 – If you want to lay your hands on an Xbox to play current-gen titles but don’t care too much about having the most powerful machine or the option of buying physical copies of games, this deal on the Xbox Series S is for you.View Deal
Xbox Series S + $50 Target gift card (pickup only) | Was $299.99 now $249.99 at Target
Save $50 – The Xbox Series S is a powerful little console and not just a poor substitute for a Series X. This is a deal well worth considering if you can make the curbside pickup, especially as it comes bundled with a $50 Target gift cardView Deal
Black Friday blogs are usually about telling you all the things that you could buy, especially with big ticket items getting some steep discounts. But, I do want to give a slight warning when it comes to slight simulator gear.
Simulator peripherals are some of the most expensive gaming add-ons you can buy and I’ve fallen foul of this with flight simulator games. I love games like Ace Combat and Crimson Skies, and when I got into Microsoft Flight Simulator I thought I should invest in that hobby. Don’t make my mistake, buy cheap peripherals this Black Friday.
Here are a couple of low price items, I’d recommend if you’re buying your first flight stick.
PXN-USB Flight Simulation Stick: $49.99 at Amazon
This cheap and cheerful joystick doesn’t have the bells and whistles of more expensive gear but it’s a fine starting piece. You can guiltlessly replace it down the line if you want something better.View Deal
Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4: Was $89.99 now $58.99 at Amazon
Save $30 – If you’re not looking for something as comprehensive as the FCS Flight Pack, this is an excellent entry point to Flight Sim peripherals. If you enjoy using it, expect to upgrade in the not-too-distant future. If you don’t, well, you didn’t drop $400 on a hobby that didn’t take off.
Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4 – Joystick and Throttle for PS5 / PS4 / PC: was £69.99 now £49.98 at Amazon
Save £20 – We’ve not seen this Hotas set go any cheaper than this. If you’re looking to up your game when it comes to flight combat, then this is a great entry-level joystick and throttle.View Deal
Thrustmaster T16000M FCS – Joystick for PC: Was £59.99 now £39.99 at Amazon
Save £20 – If you’re a keen Elite Dangerous gamer, then one of the best ways you can improve your game is by investing in a joystick. The Thrustmaster T16000M FCS is an entry-level joystick in the grand scheme of things, but it’s a fantastic start to the hobby.View Deal
It may have launched with the console all the way back in 2017, but The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is still both one of the best Nintendo Switch games and also, painfully, subject to the Nintendo tax. The company very rarely lets the price of its first-party titles drop, so years after release, they’re still selling at full price. This is why when we see a game as good as Breath of the Wild for $29.99, we have to recommend it.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch): Was $69.99 now $29.99 at Target
Save $30 – Completely reinventing and revitalizing Zelda, Breath of the Wild is a classic that’s as good five years on as the day it was released. We don’t often see a discount as significant as this, so if you’ve not played it yet, we highly recommend it.View Deal
Where are all the Black Friday PS5 deals? We’ve seen some great discounts on games and accessories but in the face of Xbox Series X Black Friday deals and Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals, where we’re seeing price cuts on the consoles themselves, Sony has been letting the side down.
It’s a sign of a real problem, particularly as this may have been the last opportunity for Sony to reduce the price of the PS5 for a long time. I’ve broken down how much better the competition has been doing and why this may have been a significant win for Microsoft.
I don’t want to do the PS5 down. After all, if you’ve already got your hands on the console you can set yourself up with some great accessories. Sony’s official first-party headset, the Pulse 3D wireless headset has been reduced to just $69.99 from its usual $99.99, you can pick up a the DualSense for just $35.99, instead of the usual $54.99, and you can get a superb PS5 SSD for just $109.99.
The headset and the SSD, in particular, will significantly better your gaming experience, giving you access to the immersive audio Sony made such a big deal of around the PS5’s reveal. It really makes itself known in games like the Uncharted re-release. And the SSD will significantly increase the storage space of your console, allowing you to install more games.
PlayStation Pulse 3D Wireless Headset: Was $100 now $69 at Best Buy
Save $31 – The impressive Pulse 3D headset has now reached its historic lowest price. It’s our pick for the best PS5 headset, too, so you can rest assured of its quality for the budget price.View Deal
PlayStation DualSense controller: Was $54.99 now $35.99 at GameStop
Save $21 – This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on the Midnight Black DualSense controller, so if you’re after a player 2 gamepad for less, you can’t really go wrong here.View Deal
WD_BLACK 1TB SN850X NVMe SSD: was $180 now $109.99 at Amazon
Save $70 – Western Digital excellent current-gen SSD stacks an extra 1TB of storage on top of the PS5’s 625GB. Games installed on the SSD will also load faster, thanks to a high read speed of 7,300MB/s, an improvement over the SN850.View Deal
Taking a momentary break from gaming, because, alongside keeping things ticking over here at TRG, I’ve also been searching for deals on two items: a 12-inch cast iron Lodge skillet (which I finally tracked down for £45, thank you very much) and Lego sets. Look, it’s been a really long year, and this Christmas, I finally have some time booked off, and I just want to sit down with steady supply of teas, put on some podcasts, and assemble some Lego kits.
Well, one of the best I’ve seen yet is the 1900-piece Guardians of the Galaxy set, which normally sells for £140. Amazon is shifting this gargantuan set for £78. Another tempting deal is Boba Fett’s starship, which is down to £33.99 (sadly, the Razor Crest is only down by 6%. If you want a silly big set, then you should take a look at the 2,700-piece Marvel Sanctum Sanctorum, even with a 20% discount, it’ll set you back £167.99, but I’m sorely tempted.
LEGO Marvel The Guardians’ Ship: was £139.99 now £78.99 at Amazon
Save 44% – Just think how many teas you could get through putting together a set this large. It’s not a Lego set, it’s a whole screen-less weekend, listening to the Alan Partridge podcast, and eating chocolate-covered raisins.View Deal
LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett’s starship: was £44.99 now £33.99 at Amazon
Save 24% – Okay, this Lego set isn’t as substantial as the others. It may only last you an afternoon, but that’s at least a pack of digestive dipped into a couple of mugs of tea. You could listen to the deluxe editions of Folklore and Evermore through at least twice.View Deal
LEGO Marvel Sanctum Sanctorum: was £214.99 now £167.99 at Amazon
Save 22% – Look, you can have too much of a good thing. I recognize that. But, just imagine a whole week at the coffee table. You could put the Wizard of Earthsea audiobooks on, have some cheese on toast when your back started to get sore and you took a break to walk around the set, taking in your progress.View Deal
If you’re in the market for a Nintendo Switch, there are some great deals on at Woot! (the ‘!’ is part of the site’s name, I’m not that excited about it). The site is backed by Amazon and there are a lot of reviews on line of people reporting successful orders, but bear in mind you are not ordering from Amazon itself with these.
You can get yourself a Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing edition for $279.99, $20 less than the deal going on Amazon itself. The store also lists a Pokémon-themed Nintendo Switch OLED going for $339.99 (though it doesn’t come with a copy of the game). There’s also a great price on a straight OG Nintendo Switch, going for $267.99, which is $30 less than the Best Buy deal we list on out Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals page, though that comes bundled with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of Nintendo Switch Online Membership.
Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con: was $299.99 now $267.99 at Woot!
Save $30 -A no-thrills OG Nintendo Switch. If you plan on mostly playing the console in docked mode, this is the version of the console to seek out. Get a copy of Breath of the Wild, too, treat yourself.View Deal

Save $20 – Not a huge saving on an OG Nintendo Switch, but this is such a gorgeously designed take on the traditional console. If you’ve sunk into the chill bliss of Animal Crossing, you may want to reflect that in your dock and Joy-Con.View Deal
Nintendo Switch – OLED Model Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Edition: was $359.99 now $339.99 at Woot!
Save $20 – Not a huge saving on an this custom version of the Nintendo Switch OLED, but it’s currently out of stock on the official Nintendo store. So, the $20 saving and the fact you can actually buy it may be reason enough to take a punt on Woot! (again, name of the shop, not my own excitement).View Deal
Over at Walmart there are a stack of great Switch games getting serious discounts.

Hi there! And Happy Black Friday! It’s Vic Hood, TRG’s Associate Editor here with you once again and today is the big day. Though, it maybe doesn’t feel as big as it has in previous years as most retailers have gone pretty early with their Black Friday gaming deals.
Fortunately, many of these great discounts are still live or have had further price cuts. So, for the next few hours, I’ll be wrangling them all for you right here.
If you’re looking for a more affordable alternative to the Xbox Wireless Controller then it’s worth considering this great third-party gamepad deal.
The PowerA Fusion 2 Pro controller for Xbox Series X|S is down to just $49.99 at Amazon in the US right now, making it one of the best Black Friday Xbox controller deals we’ve seen this year.
While it’s always worth being a little bit cautious with third-party gamepad brands, PowerA’s pads are some of the best Xbox controllers you can buy and come with the official ‘Designed for Xbox’ seal of approval. The only downside here is that it’s a wired controller, so if that’s a dealbreaker for you then this might not be the gamepad for you.
PowerA Fusion Pro 2 controller: was $89.99 now $49.99 at Amazon
Save 44% – PowerA offers a budget friendly alternative to the Xbox Elite Series 2 wireless controller with the Fusion Pro 2. It features ‘Pro’ extras like customizable button profiles, trigger dead locks and back paddle buttons for an enhanced gaming experience.View Deal
What can make a great Black Friday Xbox controller deal even better? A discounted charging stand, that’s what. Fortunately, we’re seeing a number of notable discounts right now on Razer Xbox gamepad charging stands in the US, including a $15 price cut for the funky Forza Horizon 5 model.
Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand: was $40 now $29.99 at Amazon
Save $10 – With this 25% discount, the Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand returns to a historic lowest-ever price point. After a colorway that differs from your standard black? There’s also pink, green, red, white, and blue at the same rate, too.View Deal
20th Anniversary Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand: was $50 now $34.99 at Amazon
Save $15 – This is the cheapest price we’re able to verify on the 20th anniversary variant of the stand. If you’re lucky enough to have one of the transparent commemorative controllers, then this should pair perfectly.View Deal
Forza Horizon 5 Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand: was $50 now $34.99 at Amazon
Save $15 – We think that the Forza Horizon 5 paint job on the controller itself is pretty sharp, so what could accompany it more than a stand that bears the same festival spray over for a new low price?View Deal
I know I brought these to your attention earlier in this blog, but there are still some great PS5 God of War Ragnarok bundle deals available in both the US and UK. So if you’ve been looking to pick up a PlayStation 5 and the God of War sequel is on your radar, then they’re definitely worth considering.
We’re not seeing huge discounts on PS5 consoles this year, so if you’re on the hunt for one then a bundle like this is likely the best option.
US
PS5 God of War Ragnarok Bundle: $559 at Walmart
Historically speaking, PS5 bundles are a less competitive way to get yourself the console. We’re hoping that this bundle could be a faster way of getting in your hands on the system and one of the best games of the generation, too.View Deal
PS5 + God of War Ragnarok + DualSense controller: was $634.98 now $609.99 at AntOnline
Save $25 – While not much of a saving, this bundle comes with one of the best games on the PS5 and an extra controller. What you’re really paying for here is the chance to skip the queues and the need for an invitation. If you’ve been waiting on a PS5, here’s your chance to pick one up.View Deal
UK
PS5 God of War Ragnarök + Spider-Man: Miles Morales bundle: £564.98 at Very
Pre-order – This extensive bundle compiling both the disc version of the console as well as two of the system’s best games is available at a very competitive price. Keep in mind, though, that you’ll be waiting around a month for the dispatch to happen.

If you do decide to pick up a PS5 this Black Friday, then you may be considering picking up a PS5 SSD too. While we highly recommend PS5 SSDs for those who want to increase the console’s internal storage, it’s worth considering a PS5 external SSD too.
In fact, TechRadar’s Matt Bolton believes that an external SSD should be your essential Black Friday PS5 upgrade, especially if you play a lot of PS4 games on the latest Sony console.
While you can now install PS5 games on an external SSD, you need to transfer them back to internal storage in order to play them. Instead, if you pick one up, we advise installing PS4 games onto it (which you can play) meaning you save internal storage for those chunkier PS5 games.
Secretlab makes some of the best gaming chairs available so I’m very pleased to see the manufacturer has slashed the price of many of its models for Black Friday.
It isn’t just legacy models that have been discounted either. We’re seeing some of the lowest prices on the brand’s coveted seat variants, with substantial discounts on the Secretlab Titan Evo 2022.

Here at TRG, we love a PS5 SSD. What do you love even more? A Black Friday PS5 SSD deal. And there are still plenty to be had right now on the best PS5 SSDs right now in both the US and UK.
The standouts right now are the WD_BLACK SN850 2TB for $229.99 at BestBuy (save $130) and the Samsung 980 PRO 1TB for £92.99 at Amazon (a 33% discount).
US

Save $130 – If 1TB of extra PS5 internal storage isn’t enough for you, then you should definitely consider the 2TB version of one of the best PS5 SSDs on the market which currently has a fantastic $130.View Deal
Samsung 980 Pro 1TB: Was $129 now $119.99 at Amazon
Save $9 – This is the cheapest price we’ve ever seen on the Samsung 980 Pro 1TB model. It may not sound like much, however, you’re really saving $30 here, as the previous MSRP was $150 before it was lowered earlier in the month.View Deal

Save $150 – At better than half price, the WD Black SN850 1TB is a hard value to argue against given it’s our top PS5 SSD you can get right now.View Deal
WD_BLACK 1TB SN850X: Was $180 now $109.99 at Amazon
Save $70 – Western Digital’s SSDs are reliable components for expanding your PS5’s internal storage and 1TB SN850X provides a significant amount of memory for installing more games. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for this SSD to date, so make sure to snap it up before it disappears.View Deal
UK
Crucial X8 2TB Portable SSD: Was £232.31 now £128.04 at Amazon
Save 45% – The Crucial X8 is a simple way to expand your PS5’s storage without getting a more expensive internal SSD. But there are caveats, for a constant connection, you should use the front-facing USB-C port, and PS5 games will still need to be run from the internal storage but PS4 games will run just fine. With that in mind, this is the cheapest we’ve ever seen the Crucial X8.View Deal
Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB PCIe 4.0 M.2: Was £139.50 now £92.99 at Amazon
Save 33% – The Samsung 980 Pro 1TB model has never been cheaper than this, making now the ideal opportunity to get your hands on this top-performing Gen 4.0 drive and heatsink for less. This is the cheapest 1TB SSD we’ve seen this Black Friday. You’ll need to supply your own heatsink though! View Deal
CDKeys’ Black Friday sale is underway in the US and UK, offering up to 90% off games and discounts on subscription services. Frankly, I’ve looked through the deals and they’re pretty disappointing this year.
Typically CDKeys is one of the best retailers for discounted PS Plus membership and, since the revamp, I expected it would still be one of the best for the PS Plus Gift Cards that have replaced them. But this year, for some reason, the deals aren’t nearly as good on these gift cards – with some discounted wallet funds even costing more than the funds are worth.
While there were some decent discounts on 12-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions, which had their prices slashed by 29%, these are now sold out.
The Xbox Series S is down to its lowest price to date in the UK. You can pick up the console for £179.99 at Box (a £70 discount) right now. But act fast, this deal will likely sell out very quickly.
Xbox Series S: was £249 now £179.99 at Box
Save £70 – The Xbox Series S is down to its lowest price ever in the UK, with £70 off the console right now. Such a great discount means that stock is likely to sell through fast, so be sure to act soon if you’re planning on buying.View Deal
Within the time it took me to write the previous post, the Xbox Series S is now out of stock. The page now says ‘Coming Soon’ and you can request a stock alert, so hopefully we see it again this Black Friday weekend.
