Hold onto your game controllers—PlayStation’s official Black Friday discounts are here, and they’re practically waving a flag that reads “Save Money!”
Latest Update: Drop Everything!
As of November 18, 2025, at precisely 4:50 PM (mark that on the calendar), the penny-pinching wizards at PlayStation have rolled out the details for their Black Friday bonanza. Spoiler alert: wallets are about to get lighter.
Discounts, Discounts Everywhere!
Starting November 21, shoppers can expect a price-slashing frenzy on all PlayStation 5 consoles at the PlayStation Direct website. The excitement is palpable—unless it’s just the anticipation of last-minute shopping panic. Here’s what’s up for grabs:
- PS5 Standard Edition: Once a glorious $549, now a steal at $449.
- PS5 Digital Edition: Previously $499, now merely $399 (because who doesn’t love a $100 discount?).
- PS5 Pro: Formerly a daunting $749, now only $649. It’s practically begging to be bought!
Across the pond in Europe, prices drop like a hefty turkey on Thanksgiving, with discounts between €100 and €150, depending on the model. Meanwhile, in the UK, the PS5 Standard and Pro consoles will be a cool £90 off while those digital beauties will have a jaw-dropping £135 discount.
Fortnite Madness!
Get ready to tour the virtual battlefields with style—new Fortnite Flowering Chaos PS5 console bundles are joining the discount party. Available in both Standard and Digital flavors, these bundles will not only cost the same as their standard counterparts but will also have Black Friday discounts that make checking your bank balance a little more bearable.
What’s in this magical bundle, you ask? Just a few codes for extra Fortnite goodies: 1,000 V-Bucks, a fancy Florin outfit (yes, one with a Lego version—because who doesn’t need more Lego in their life?), a stylish backpack bling, pickaxe, wrap, guitar, mic, and sneakers. Perfect for the discerning Fortnite enthusiast!
But Wait, There’s More!
In addition to console deals, the PlayStation Direct site is cutting prices on everything but the kitchen sink (but don’t hold out hope for that). Accessories will also see discounts during this glorious shopping season:
- PlayStation VR2: Enjoy $100 / €100 / £90 off, perfect for virtual escapism!
- PlayStation Portal: Just $20 / €20 / £20 off—what a steal!
- Pulse Elite Wireless Headset: Save $20 / €20 / £20 and listen to your gaming victories in style.
- Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds: $30 / €30 / £30 off, because who wants wires getting in the way?
- DualSense Edge Wireless Controller: $30 / €30 / £30 off, for those precision gaming moments.
- DualSense Wireless Controller: A mere $20 / €20 / £20 off, because one controller is never enough.
- Access Controller: Simply $20 off, which practically makes it a necessity.
Price Hike Flashback
In case there’s a memory gap, Sony did increase the prices of PS5 consoles in various regions earlier this year. The price hike began in the UK, Europe, and Australia back in April, followed by the stateside increase in August. Have those price tags drunk some crazy juice?
So gear up, dunk those discounts before they disappear, and make all those online shopping carts your new best friends. Who knew Black Friday could be so thrilling? Happy saving!
