Black Friday has turned into a goldmine for gamers. Whether you're team PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo, the discounts landing right now make upgrading your setup or grabbing that console you've been eyeing a lot easier to justify.

I've cut through the noise to find the gaming deals actually worth your money —consoles with serious price cuts, must-have accessories, and bundles that deliver genuine value. From the PS5 Pro dropping by over $100 at Amazon, to the Xbox Series S bundled with 24 months of Game Pass (which basically pays for itself), these are the offers you'll want to act on before stock runs out or prices creep back up.

Save $110 on the most powerful PlayStation yet, delivering noticeably sharper graphics and smoother gameplay than the standard PS5. Games look stunning with improved lighting and reflections, while frame rates stay high and consistent even in demanding scenes. The 2TB storage is double what you get with the regular PS5, meaning way less time managing what's installed. It also plays over 8,500 PS4 games with performance boosts that make older titles run better.

The Nintendo Switch 2 takes what worked about its best-selling predecessor and makes impactful upgrades across the board. From the excellent, and noticeably larger, 7.9-inch display to the more powerful internal specs, the Switch 2 is a full leap forward and the best hybrid console you can buy.

Mario Kart World

Mario Kart World takes Luigi's brother out onto the open road, to visit stunning new locations and with a bunch more friends tagging along. If you missed out on the Mario Kart World Switch 2 bundle, then this is your next best way to pick up the game.

The GameSir Cyclone 2 is one of the cheapest ways to elevate your gaming experience. It’s fitted with TMR sticks and Hall Effect triggers that are highly responsive and customizable via user-friendly software. The ergonomic design makes the controller comfortable to use for long periods of time, too. Read our GameSir Cyclone 2 review for the full lowdown.

Sony PlayStation DualSense Controller

The DualSense controller makes games feel more immersive with haptic feedback that simulates in-game actions. Adaptive triggers add resistance that changes based on what you're doing, like the tension of drawing a bow. The built-in microphone lets you chat without a headset, though you can plug one in via the 3.5mm jack. It's a solid backup controller or upgrade if you're still using the original that came with your PS5.

SteelSeries  Arctis Nova 5

The new undisputed ruler of gaming headsets. Designed specifically with Xbox in mind, the Arctis Nova 5 took the top overall spot in our best gaming headset guide, and for good reason. Sound quality is incredible, it looks super sleek, and its easy-to-use companion software is a joy to use.

A fantastic deal on a current-gen console and the latest EA Sports FC. The PS5 Digital Edition delivers lightning-fast load times, stunning graphics, and plays over 4,000 PS4 games with Game Boost for improved performance. The 825GB SSD gives you plenty of storage, and the DualSense controller's haptic feedback makes gameplay more immersive. FC 26 is included as a full-game voucher.

The Series S delivers the same games as the pricier Series X at 1440p with fast loading, up to 120 FPS, Quick Resume for instant game-switching, and 512GB storage — making this bundle the smartest entry into Xbox gaming. You get the Series S console plus 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which would normally cost you £287.76 on its own — meaning the console essentially pays for itself through Game Pass savings alone.
