The best Black Friday PS5 deals in Australia for 2025: Steep discounts on PS5s, DualSense controllers, games and more

Savings on the PS5 DualSense controller are exceedingly rare nowadays, which is especially annoying since they're very prone to stick drift and trigger button problems. So: stock up! Gone are the days when we can expect to pay as little as AU$79 for a unit during Black Friday, but this AU$85 price is the best we've seen for a while, and is available in a range of colours.

Sony's brilliant yet exorbitantly priced premium DualSense is a fine piece of kit, and this discount - albeit no record breaker - makes it ever more tempting. It has replaceable analog sticks, four back "paddle" buttons, changeable stick caps and a bunch of other lavish features that you'll regret not having once you've held one of these in hand.

Not as good a saving as we saw previously, let's not scoff at this small 6% discount. It's an excellent Remote Play handheld with DualSense functionality, which makes up for the fact that you could otherwise just use a cheaper controller attached to your phone. If you want one, you want one.

Widely considered a return to form, Battlefield 6 reviewed very well when it launched last month. Now, just weeks later, many major retailers are offering a huge discount on the RRP of AU$109.95. Whether you're keen to jump in on the multiplayer action, or are just curious about the campaign, this is a significant discount for a game that only released recently, even though it was cheaper at AU$59 earlier in the week.

Arguably this year's greatest RPG gets a big discount ahead of Black Friday proper. For AU$59 this is an absolute steal, and our review bears that out: "an outstanding visionary debut from Sandfall Interactive", Alan Wen wrote. Definitely a good one to have ahead of the summer holidays.

A substantial discount on what could be the best RPG of 2025 (don't read this, Clair Obscur). If you love your RPGs unforgiving and almost-sim-like in their dedication to reality, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is absolutely essential. It's also one of the most gorgeous games on PS5.

This 2025 remake of the PlayStation 2 classic is pretty obviously essential for Metal Gear fans, but it's also an excellent way to make first contact with Kojima's conspiratorial universe. This is a great price for one of the year's strongest releases.

This is only borderline a deal: AU$99 is what Amazon is charging as a matter of course for this new PS5 exclusive, undercutting most of the competition by at least AU$10. If you're after another sumptuous open world in the prestige Sony mould, and loved Ghost of Tsushima, this is worth investigation.

Gearbox's newest open world looter shooter gets a tidy discount in the months after launch, despite Randy Pitchford suggesting it wouldn't happen. If you're after a 50+ hour RPG sprawl that you can play with friends, this is well worth it at this price.

Although the ticket price on this is AU$44 now, it was at least AU$89 upon release back in March, so AU$29 is pretty extraordinarily cheap for a 2025 title. Sure, it's proven divisive, but if you're a fan of the series or have a crew who want to stab a bunch of monsters to death in a pretty open world, it's a good time.

If you're after a gorgeous crime drama set in early 20th century Italy, you could do much worse than Mafia The Old Country. This one's also good if you're over the trappings of modern blockbuster open world games: sure, there's a big ol' map, but this one keeps things very story focused.

Knowing they're onto a good thing, Bandai Namco rarely offer up steep discounts on FromSoftware games. Which makes this deal on Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon well worth taking note of if you've been hungering for a mech brawler. I adored this game and so did all the critics.

Bloodlines 2 has been divisive, and our review was unambiguously on the negative side. Still, among people who've waited so long for this sequel, there will be a desire to play it anyway, and this is about the best price we've seen for the modern vampire RPG. We called it "a boring, linear action brawler" but maybe you will call it a "masterpiece"? (Doubtful, but let's see.)

This standalone expansion for the original Spider-Man was a PS5 launch title, but it still looks brilliant, and at this price is well worth a look. If you're after the Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition—which packs in the whole original Spider-Man game —that's currently going for AU$69, though at the time of writing stock is low.

A rare discount on this 2024 PS5 gem, which will almost certainly go down in history as one of the platform's best exclusive. It's a big cheerful platformer with an astonishing amount of ideas. If you're a fan of PlayStation history, it's pretty much a must-own, and the same holds true if you love 3D platformers.

A bonanza discount on this highly regarded horror remake, which was met with unanimous praise when it released in 2022 (though presumably not enough sales for EA to quickly issue a Dead Space 2 remake). If you're an eBay Plus member, this game is yours for AU$21.

Disney Epic Mickey is a brilliant and innovative platformer with a lot of old school Disney charm, and it's the kind of game that makes an easy Christmas gift for PS5 owners young and old.

The price may seem steep at a glance, but this UK import of Elden Ring includes the critically acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, which easily adds at least fifteen hours to the base game. And what to say about Elden Ring at this point? It's probably the very best RPG of this console generation, especially if the chatty Baldur's Gate 3 is too, well, chatty for you.

The lowest price yet for this epic ye olde fantasy take on the Final Fantasy formula, which we said " stands alongside the series' greats" in our review. It's a big 60+ hour adventure that is incredible value for money at this price, with some of the most bonkers boss fights this side of Asura's Wrath. Amazon was briefly price matching JB Hi-Fi but sold out; if JB Hi-Fi sells out it's worth checking Amazon for a stock replenishment.

This offer gets you a respected high-level headset which we praised for its good battery life, decent audience and comfort. In our 72/100 review we criticised its price and "unspectacular" mic, but perhaps those shortcomings are a little easier to bear with this whopping price cut.

The Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset offers low-latency 2.4Ghz wireless audio and Bluetooth connectivity, along with high-fidelity 24bit/96kHz sound and support for Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio. This was down to AU$150 last Black Friday, so if you're patient, you could possibly wait for a further discount.
