Black Friday gaming deals 2024: The best discounts on consoles, video games, accessories and more

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 kicked off their official holiday sales, which means many of the season's better gaming deals are available 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 inevitably see more discounts in the days ahead, but the current selection includes a ton of games and accessories we like for their lowest prices to date. The PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch are 75 off, too, 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 updating this post as 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. Beyond that, Walmart says it'll sell the console with an extra DualSense controller for 475 starting on November 25.
