Best PS5 early Black Friday deals — here's 15 deals on must-play games and accessories I'd buy now
Don't wait until Black Friday to score these epic PS5 deals
Black Friday is still a few weeks away, but I'm already seeing huge discounts on must-play PS5 games, accessories, and consoles. If you have some gamers on your holiday shopping list, now's the perfect time to cross them off before the holiday rush sets in.
For instance, right now, retailers are slashing prices of the best PS5 games. If you're looking for a bargain, you can get Madden NFL 26 on sale for $39 at Amazon ($30 off), and this year's football sim looks and plays better than ever. One of my favorite games of last year, Sonix X Shadow Generations, is also $15 off at Amazon.
With the PS5 price hikes in full swing, the few discounts on consoles we've found barely get them down to their pre-tariff price point. But you can score a major discount on a premium, renewed PS5 Slim at Amazon. If you'd rather not gamble with a pre-owned console (we don't blame you), GameStop has a PS5 bundle with 24 months of PS Plus Premium for $579 — a $170 savings.
Some of our favorite PS5 accessories are getting discounted too, including a 2TB NVMe SSD from WD_Black for just $199 to easily store any size game library, or this $131 discount on Sony's Inzone H9 Gaming Headset.
Keep scrolling to see all my favorite PS5 early Black Friday deals. For even more ways to save, check out our Amazon promo codes and Black Friday 2025 guide.

Brand new PS5 Slim consoles are stuck at the MSRP price even as we get closer to Black Friday, but Amazon has discounted renewed consoles.

Alternatively, you could wait until Black Friday, when Sony might reduce brand new consoles.

Right now, you can get a high-speed Sonic the Hedgehog adventure for less, as Sonic X Shadow Generations is $15 off ahead of Black Friday.

It's also worth noting that the PS5 version is still cheaper than either the Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 edition; if you're looking to play Sonic X Shadow Generations for less, this PS5 copy is the way to go.
