Best gaming deals for Black Friday 2023:
Black Friday is always a wonderful time for gamers. Console bundles, massive game discounts, extra perks with your purchases — the retail world really takes care of us during the holiday shopping season.
And this year isn’t going to be any different. In fact, it may even be better, because the supply chain issues that plagued new-gen console production for the past few years are seemingly over (knock on wood). Yes, that means if you want a PlayStation 5, you can actually get one now. We never thought we’d see the day.
As we do every year, we’ve started rounding up all the best deals that you can get ahead of Black Friday, from individual games to accessories, and everything in between. Whether you’re mainly a PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo player, there’s something here for you.
Just make sure to keep checking back occasionally, because we’ll be updating this page with new deals as they come in throughout the big shopping event.

What’s that? You haven’t played the best Star Wars game of all time? Well, let’s change that — Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the sequel to 2019’s excellent Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is $27 off the original price ahead of Black Friday, and to add to an already great deal, this offer applies to the Deluxe Edition, which gets you a bunch of fun in-game bonuses. Snag your copy in the PlayStation Store and embark on a galactic journey like you’ve never seen before.

Why we like it
With the smaller, more focused Assassin’s Creed Mirage just recently being released, some AC fans may still be clamoring for the open-world style that has now become the franchise’s bread and butter. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will certainly scratch that itch — it’s massive, and it’s a direct predecessor to Mirage, so you’ll probably want to play it anyway. You can pick up a copy of the deluxe edition in the Microsoft Store for just $19.99, a full $60 off the original price ahead of Black Friday.

Nintendo Switch deals
Why we like it
Nintendo’s go-to holiday bundle gets you a standard (non-OLED) Switch, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership (you’d spend almost $370 if you bought each piece separately). The bundle went live two months earlier than usual this year, and it’s still in stock at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Walmart, and in the My Nintendo Store. That will probably change as we get closer to the holiday season, so consider yourself warned.

The first-generation Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is the comfiest gaming headset we’ve tested: With FlowKnit memory foam ear cushions and a padded headband, you can wear it for hours at a time without getting a headache. It comes equipped with immersive THX Spatial Audio, intuitive on-ear controls, and a crystal-clear mic, and it works with PlayStation and Nintendo Switch consoles in addition to PCs.
