Black Friday is usually a good time to restock on video games and gaming gear at a discount, and this year should be no exception. If you're looking to pad out your backlog, pick up a new console or refresh your desktop with new peripherals, we're rounding up the Black Friday gaming deals that are most worth your attention below. To be candid, the selection as of Wednesday morning is fairly light -- we expect tons more discounts to pop up Thursday and Friday, after Amazon, Best Buy, PlayStation and other retailers start their official Black Friday sales in earnest. That said, a number of noteworthy Switch, PS5 and Xbox games are already down to their lowest prices to date, while the Xbox Series X and a few well-reviewed accessories are cheaper than usual too. We've dug through reviews and used price history trackers to ensure each offer below is a genuine deal, and we'll update this post regularly over the next couple of weeks as additional deals become available.

Polygon called it "visceral, claustrophobic and beautiful." Players couldn't wait to tailor their characters with cybernetic enhancements, join factions to fight evil megacorporations, and explore Night City, the game's vast, mysterious setting. Last week, Cyberpunk 2077 finally came out. But players found it riddled with disruptive, often catastrophic glitches.
