The PlayStation 5 is a great console with intuitive controller tech, great gameplay performance and a stunning design – and it’s finally becoming easier to pick one up following nearly two years of scrambling to get a hold of the next-gen console.
What’s even better is that stock seems to be readily available as retailers get involved in the biggest shopping event of the year, which is set to take place later this week on 25 November 2022. It’s also likely that the sales will continue well into Cyber Monday on the following Monday, 28 November 2022.
The improved stock means the potential for deals on PS5 consoles, games and accessories is real – and we can’t wait. In fact, most retailers have already kicked off the Black Friday fun.
But rather than scouring the web for the latest and greatest PS5 deals this Black Friday, we’ve hand-picked the very best available in the US and UK right now.
If you’d like to find out more about Black Friday, take a look at what to expect from Black Friday, along with our full PlayStation 5 review and our selection of the best PS5 games for once you’ve got your hands on the console.
