Black Friday is often a good time to restock on video games and gaming gear on the cheap, and this year is no exception. While the event itself is still a few days away, several retailers have already rolled out their official holiday sales. That means many of the season's better gaming deals are available right now. If you're looking to add a few games to your backlog, pick up a new console or upgrade your desktop with new accessories, we've rounded up our favorite Black Friday gaming deals below. We'll see more discounts in the days ahead, but the current sales include a truckload of games and accessories we like for their lowest prices to date. Both versions of the PlayStation 5 are 75 off as well, while the Xbox Series S is 50 less than usual. We've dug through reviews and used price history trackers to ensure each offer below is a genuine deal, and we'll continue to update this post if prices change and new deals pop up over the course of the week. PlayStation 5 (slim) for 424 at Amazon ( 76 off MSRP): This isn't the absolute biggest price drop to date for Sony's console, but larger discounts have been extremely uncommon over the past year. You have a few different purchasing options, too. If you're a Fortnite Person, you can grab a bundle that throws in skins and V-Bucks for that game at no extra cost. Walmart and a few others have a separate bundle that pairs the machine with the recent RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard or one of EA's sports games for 450. Also available at Best Buy, Target, GameStop and PlayStation Direct, among others.

Nintendo Black Friday deals are now live, and they're worth paying attention to if you want to pick up some big games on sale. In addition to video games, you can pick up a few Nintendo Switch bundles on sale as well, including options for the standard Switch, the OLED model and the Switch Lite. The deals are available at retailers like Best Buy, Target and Walmart. Arguably the jewel in Black Friday's crown is a big discount on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Normally 70, Nintendo has the game for 50, but we're seeing even steeper price drops at GameStop ( 45), Target ( 40) and Best Buy ( 40) at the moment.

There are two (well, technically, three) optimal times of the year to pick up Echo speakers, Kindle ereaders and other Amazon devices: Amazon Prime Day (now multiple days) and Black Friday. While Amazon likes to save its steepest discounts for its members-only shopping event, it's a safe bet that we'll see the same deals (or similar ones) during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This year, we're seeing some of the best prices of the year on all things Amazon, so now's the time to buy if you want to beef up your smart home ecosystem or pick up a gadget as a gift this year. These are the best deals you can get on Amazon devices for Black Friday 2024. Kindle Paperwhite (2024) for 130 ( 30 off): The latest version of the Paperwhite has speedier performance, a higher-contrast screen, a built-in warm light and 12 weeks of battery life.

I've always been interested in coding, but I've never had the time to sit down and actually learn how it works. That's why I'm really happy I found this two-part deal that has Microsoft Visual Studio Pro and the Premium Learn to Code Bundle. It gave me some much-needed beginner-friendly coding lessons and the software to actually use what I learned. I do wish I'd waited a few days to buy it though. Then I'd have caught the Early Black Friday Sale and been able to get the whole thing for 55.97.

We've tested scores of speakers over the years, and the best ones have made their way into three of our buying guides: soundbars, portable speakers and smart speakers. Right now Black Friday sales are bringing notable discounts to many of our top picks. So if you need a soundbar to make the dialogue on your TV clearer or want to take your music out on the porch once the weather warms back up, this is a good time to grab something new. Of course, Black Friday doesn't technically start until the day after Thanksgiving, but nearly every retailer and speaker brand has already pushed their holiday deals live. Some discounts are even hitting new all-time lows. As new sales appear and we find new notable discounts, we'll update this list. But for now, here are the best Black Friday deals on speakers we could find.

Robot vacuums can help automate a chore you may loathe doing yourself. And even if you don't mind vacuuming regularly, it's undeniable that it takes time out of your day that you could be using for other things.

As Black Friday arrives again, it's time to consider getting something new. If that something happens to be a reliable assistant for home cleaning, consider this Dyson 360 Vis Nav, one of our choices for the best robot vacuums. This is the first time it's been discounted since Dyson started selling these earlier this year. We put this robot vacuum through its paces, and you can see the results in our Dyson 360 Vis Nav review. It managed to suck up an impressive amount of dog hair in our tests and has 360-degree vision augmented with LED lights to prevent collisions and accidents.

If vacuuming is one of your least favorite chores, a robot vacuum can take that largely manual process and make it almost entirely automated. And unlike a few years ago, you don't have to spend a fortune to get a decent robot vacuum today.
