These are best Black Friday PS5 deals you can still buy this weekend

Discounts are still live this weekend

Black Friday may be officially done and dusted, but retailers are still ploughing on with discounts on PS5 consoles, accessories, and games this weekend. Some of the week's most noteworthy savings are still kicking around today, but they won't last much longer.

Keep an ear to the ground for deals like this one

The PlayStation Pulse Explore wireless earbuds are still at a record-low price during this holiday sales event, and if you're in the market for a set of wireless earbuds to use with your PS5 then it's hard to go wrong here.

Notably, these earbuds have about five hours of battery life with an additional 10 tacked on to that via the charging case. Sure, you could use non-PlayStation wireless earbuds, but why would you when this set is at this price?

Let's get craftin' for cheap

Normally I'd not bother including such a relatively smaller deal – 17% off here comes out to just over $5 – but Minecraft is an exception to the rule. As a parent to small children, let me tell you something: they all want to play Minecraft.

If you're picking up a PS5 this holiday season for a kid or for any situation where a kid will also be playing it, Minecraft is hard to pass up at this price as it's technically a record-low price this week for the PS5 version. If you or your loved ones somehow don't already have access to the wildly popular sandbox game, it can't hurt to ensure there's a little Steve under the tree this coming December.

Minecraft | $29.99 $24.88 at Amazon

You're gonna want more PS5 storage

One thing that anyone with a PS5 knows and anyone buying a PS5 will soon find out is that those video games are incredibly beefy and take up a significant chunk of space on any kind of hard drive. If you're relying on even the PS5s with the biggest internal storage, you're almost certainly going to run out of space.

While this Seagate 5TB external hard drive for PlayStation consoles – PS5 and PS4 both – is technically $5 above its record-low price, I've been pretty impressed with my own version and would happily recommend it despite that slight difference. In general, I find that the storage I actually want doesn't go on sale very often, so it's good to take advantage of even relatively small deals.

Seagate Game Drive for PlayStation 5TB | $149.99 $129.99 at Amazon

Pick up Elden Ring for cheap

As part of the same running theme here of big chunky PS5 video games for cheap, Elden Ring on PS5 is currently 60% off at $19.99 over on Amazon. That is, to put it bluntly, a steal for FromSoftware's most recent Soulslike.

While this has technically been cheaper by roughly a quarter – as in, 25 cents – it's still a great deal even if not officially a record-low price for the popular video game. This is about as cheap as it gets to visit Elden Ring's Lands Between.

Elden Ring | $49.99 $19.99 at Amazon

If a charging stand is more your style...

While I'd previously mentioned that the PowerA hard shell case for the PlayStation Portal (with its pass-through charging cable capability) ultimately won out in my own search for a way to charge the PlayStation Portal, it's worth noting that this charging stand – also from PowerA – was my backup pick that I very nearly grabbed instead.

At full price, $37.99, the charging stand has been a bit too pricy for my taste over the past couple of months. But Black Friday has brought the price down 21% to a reasonable record-low price of $29.99. If you prefer a good stand and are in the market, or you know someone that is, this deal is hard to beat.

PowerA Charging Station for PlayStation Portal | $37.99 $29.99 at Amazon

Hard to beat this PSVR 2 deal

If you are at all interested in using your PS5 to experience virtual reality and haven't already picked up the PlayStation VR2, this Black Friday is perhaps your best opportunity yet to rectify the situation.

The bundle that comes with Horizon Call of the Mountain, the Horizon VR game, is $100 right now. $299 is still a fairly heft price tag, of course, but if you're investing in VR for the PS5 the only other option is paying an additional $100 when it's not actually on sale. For what it's worth, I generally find the PSVR 2 to be the second-best VR headset for my own use – behind only the Meta Quest 3.

PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle | $399.99 $299.99 at Amazon

Even more JRPG goodness for you

Not to be a broken record about various fantasies and their finality, but I'd be remiss in not pointing out that the PS5 version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade – the first part of the new remake series with the additional Yuffie episode – is currently sitting at a record-low price of $19.99 at Amazon. Regardless of how you might feel about Square Enix's decision to remake FF7, at that price it is hard to pass up.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade | $39.99 $19.99 at Amazon

A must-have if you buy a PS5 Pro

Look, yes, I know what I said about waiting for good deals to come if you're hunting for bargains, but as someone that's been watching the PS5 disc drive attachment like a hawk for months: there's no telling when that might happen here.

If you're looking to play physical PS5 discs on the PS5 digital edition or PS5 Pro, you'll need this accessory in order to do that. While the discount here (comparing PS Direct to Amazon) isn't significant, it is something, and who knows how long PlayStation will bother to carry these. As someone that regrets not buying more PlayStation TVs when they had the chance, I'd happily buy this now if I hadn't already done so earlier this year.

PS5 Disc Drive | $79.99 $79 at Amazon

A JRPG deal so good I bought it myself

If you're not fully stocked up on JRPGs already, the latest and greatest mainline Final Fantasy entry, Final Fantasy 16, is currently at its best price ever over on Amazon at $15. As a huge proponent of physical media, this specific deal was too good to pass up – despite the fact that I already own it digitally – and I ended up snapping it up for myself as well.

Even if you already own a copy, this price point is probably good enough to grab a few as gifts for any PS5 owners in your life. Alternatively, if you're just now picking up a PS5 console as part of the ongoing sales, Final Fantasy 16 makes for a perfectly suitable intro to the new hardware.

Final Fantasy 16 | $29.99 $15 at Amazon

PlayStation Portal protection on the go

Here's a deal straight out of my own Amazon wish list: the PowerA hard shell case for the PlayStation Portal is currently 20% off at Amazon for Black Friday, which remains the lowest it's ever been thus far. I've been looking for something to keep my own PlayStation Portal safe, and this is the one that I've been eyeballing for several weeks myself.

Not only is PowerA a reliable brand for this sort of case, but this one specifically includes a pass-through where you can actually sit and charge it by passing the power cable through the case. I'm not a huge fan of charging stands taking up a whole bunch of space, so this really meets my needs – and is fairly inexpensive to boot.

PowerA Hard Shell Case for PlayStation Portal | $34.99 $27.99 at Amazon

Looking to catch up on Final Fantasy 7?

The Amazon-exclusive edition of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the most recent entry in the JRPG remake series from Square Enix, for PS5 is currently on sale for $20 off. While not a deal that's going to light the world on fire, unlike what Sephiroth wants to do, this does match the previous record-low price for the PS5 game.

Also, not for nothing, this version comes with a PS5 controller skin featuring both Cloud and Sephiroth for anyone looking to trick out there DualSense controller. There are far worse things to spend your money on this deals season.

A friendly, timely reminder on deals

Now is as good a time as any to remind folks that this is a marathon and not a sprint. If you have your eye on a specific PS5 deal, whether it be console or games, Black Friday deals often continue through the weekend and on into Cyber Monday. Just because something isn't on sale now doesn't mean it won't be.

In fact, from experience, some of the best Black Friday PS5 deals are either available immediately at the start of the savings event or at the absolute last-possible moment as a sort of closeout to the sale. If you're potentially looking at dropping a couple hundred dollars over this weekend, there's usually no harm in waiting and seeing just how low something might go. (I do recommend having a personal floor where you decide a deal is worth it. For example, maybe you'd buy a specific game if it hit $19.99 but not before then.)

Speaking of first-party PS5 games, this one ain't bad

God of War Ragnarok has been out for a minute or two now, so I'm not surprised to see it getting discounted, but all the way down to $19.99 is a pretty deep cut for such a blockbuster.

If we're talking about PS5 bundles, you could add this on to the Spider-Man bundle I made in my previous post, and you'd still be just under $500.

Not going to lie, if I was yet to get a PS5 and play these games, and someone presented me that Frankenstinian bundle on Christmas morning, I'd love them forever. What a way to immediately kickstart a console's game library.

Whoever bought me them might not see me for like, two or three weeks because I'd be busy playing both games, but that's besides the point.

God of War Ragnarok | $69.99 $19.99 at Best Buy

I'd recommend the Spider-Man 2 PS5 bundle, but you can get both parts cheaper if you buy them individually from Best Buy

Okay, so I wanted to try and find you guys some bundle offers, but in all honesty, I had to stop for a moment and think about how silly the ones at Amazon are.

For example, take the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 bundle at Amazon, which gets you the regular PS5 console (with a disk drive) and a copy of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for $624, down from $659. I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like your friendly neighbourhood PS5 bundle to me.

Head over to Best Buy, and you can get a PS5 Slim (with a disc drive) for $449.99 and a copy of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for $29.99, which comes to a total of $479.99. Now that sounds more like a Black Friday bundle. All you have to do is make it yourself.

PS5 Slim | $549.99 $449.99 at Amazon
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 | $69.99 $29.99 at Amazon

What's the difference between the Victrix Pro BFG and BFG Reloaded?

Well, apart from a pricing gap of over $100 at the moment, there aren't many big differences between the original Victrix Pro BFG and the Reloaded model you might be seeing while you shop.

Long story short, Turtle Beach acquired PDP, the brand that makes these controllers, and it's slowly but surely been relaunching all of its controllers under the Turtle Beach name. That's happened to the BFG, but nothing has really changed about this controller except the price. Sure, the Reloaded model comes with Hall effect sticks as standard, which I'd be a big fan of (because I like that thumbstick tech), but it's meant a shift from one of the things that made the original BFG worth buying versus the PS5 controller competition. Turtle Beach is now trying to claim that this controller always cost $200 when it didn't - it launched at $179.99 and was priced there up until Turtle Beach made the acquisition, and the MSRP started moving around. (I know, because I've been tracking its price like a hawk since it launched)

So, buying the new model is fine - it's just the same great controller, and you do get Hall effect sticks as a bonus. But at the moment, there's no reason not to buy the original model while it's seeing a $100 discount over the new model.

For context, budget controller brands manage to put Hall effect technology inside controllers that cost $50 and under, so for Turtle Beach to claim that this one minor change to the BFG means it's somehow worth so much more? Yeah, I'm sorry, but I don't buy that.

If I were you, I'd buy the original model at $99.99 while you still can. I've never had any issues with stick drift despite using mine very regularly since it launched at the beginning of 2023.

Victrix Pro BFG | $179.99 $99.99 at Amazon

Last year's GOTY winner is on sale too, don't forget

Oh, what's that, you thought I meant Helldivers 2? Well, if you asked me personally, I'd tell you Helldivers was game of the year for 2024, but if you ask Mr. Game Awards, he'll tell you it was Astro Bot.

Regardless of my squabbles with The Game Awards, you can get Astro Bot for a lower price than usual right now, which I know we've listed above, but I do still think it's one of the better PS5 game deals in this year's sale because it hasn't seen many price drops since launch.

Astro Bot | $59.99 $39.99 at PlayStation Direct

A premium (and yet more affordable) alternative to the DualSense Edge...

Nacon's super-charged PS5 pro controller is seeing a pretty hefty discount right now. Seeing as it's cheaper than the DualSense Edge and gives you more functionality, it might be worth a look if you're shopping for a new controller. It's also at a new record low price, if you care about making sure you're getting a genuine discount.

This is going to fit best in the hands of competitive gamers, and thanks to its build quality and size, it's also going to be better for those with larger hands. But four mappable back buttons and a whole toolbox of swappable parts will give you scope to make this feel like your own.

The thumbstick tension is a little loose for my liking, but this is absolutely one of the best controllers for PS5 money can buy, and at this sort of price, it's excellent value for money. If you want more comfort and you tend to play casual games, the DualSense Edge might be hard to beat, but for competitive players who don't like the look of the Victrix Pro BFG, Nacon's the solution.

Nacon Revolution 5 Pro | $199 $119.99 at Amazon

And while we're at it, one of last year's best games is also on offer

If you're looking to jump into a more affordable PS5 game, Amazon has Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 discounted to $29.99.

This is an excellent single-player action adventure game with epic levels and really fun combat that you definitely don't need to be a fan of Warhammer to enjoy. I know nothing about Warhammer, and I was still pulled right into the story, but the game's massive battles and power-fantasy combat were the things that pulled me through the experience. Honestly, what a fun game. Just talking about it is making me want to replay it.

So, before I do, consider this deal if you need a new PS5 game to jump into.

Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 | $48.53 $29.99 at Amazon

Two full-priced games from 2025 are seeing discounts to under $50

I feel duty-bound to tell you that two of this year's biggest AAA releases are seeing Black Friday discounts, so if you wanted either of these games earlier in the year but just couldn't stomach a $70 game, now's a good time to grab one, or maybe both if you have the budget.

First up is Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, which is down to $49.99. The second is Borderlands 4, which you can buy for a slightly more affordable $47.99.

METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER Tactical Edition | $69.99 $49.99 at Best Buy

Borderlands 4 | $69.99 $47.99 at Best Buy

Don't forget these other PS5 accessories

If you've always wanted a black PS5, UK shoppers can grab the official Midnight Black faceplates at PlayStation Direct in a Black Friday deal right now. That deal is valid from now until the 18th of December.

US shoppers can get either the Midnight Black covers, or the Galactic Purple ones at a discounted price until the 19th of December (if stocks last until then).

There are a couple of official PlayStation accessories like these available at PlayStation Direct, so it's worth heading there to look at what you could get. Annoyingly, the DualSense Edge thumbstick module, PC Adapter for PSVR 2, and the Disc Drive for PS5 Digital Editions aren't discounted - because why would Sony cut the price of the three most highly coveted accessories?

A note on the PSVR 2 PC Adapter

I was hoping to see a Black Friday deal on the PSVR 2 PC adapter, but as you'll know if you've been shopping for one for a while, it's hard to find the official version outside of the PlayStation Direct store.

Sony's one isn't discounted for Black Friday, which I suppose I can accept when PSVR 2 itself has a good bargain going. But Amazon's selection of third-party adapters are discounted.

Now, I'm super sceptical about these adapters. I've never tested them, and new third-party ones tend to pop up often under different seller names. Annoyingly, because of the way Amazon's listings work, it pulls through these products and doesn't do anything to alert shoppers to the fact that the product isn't official - especially when if they're using a lot of the same marketing images as official items.

"Rzkipdy" has an adapter at Amazon that looks very official, and it has a Prime Exclusive Black Friday discount going. But with 3 user reviews amounting to a 5-star rating, I'm not convinced there isn't something fishy going on here. If I were you, I'd stick to the official one at PlayStation Direct - even if it isn't discounted.

PSVR 2 PC Adapter | $49.99 at PlayStation Direct

Psst, the PlayStation Portal is still discounted!

Just a reminder that the PlayStation Portal is still at its lowest stock and in price. It's also much better handheld than at launch now that it has new cloud gaming abilities, although you will need a PS Plus account to access to those adventures.

PlayStation Portal | $199.99 $178.99 at Amazon

What should you get for the gamer in your life this Christmas?

If you're here to shop for the PS5 lover in your life, whether it's a partner, friend, son, daughter, or other loved one, you may have absolutely no idea where to start.

Even with us giving you some clear recommendations, if you're not into gaming yourself, you might feel like it's a gamble getting them something they could already have or not want at all.

As a lifelong gamer who has a family that constantly has no idea what gaming gifts to get me, I'm going to help you out.

You simply cannot go wrong with a voucher to buy games with. I may feel like a cop-out, but I promise you it's not. Buying games is expensive, and having virtual store credit to help with that, either with a game they'll have in mind or for future purchases, is a massive win. Let them buy what they want, and they'll thank you for it.

(annoyingly, I'm not seeing these discounted for Black Friday, but that often comes toward the end of a sale like this)

Need a game to kickstart your PSVR 2 collection?

Gran Turismo 7 isn't just a classic PlayStation franchise come to life on PS5; it's still counted as one of the must-try PSVR 2 games. It's also a harder one to try and get a hold of because, despite its age, it's often still up at full price, or around $50.

Thankfully, this game is still getting support and new content, so there's plenty to experience in it. Best Buy currently has it for a decent price too, so it might be one to pair with your new headset if you're making the most of PSVR 2's current discount.

Gran Turismo 7 | $69.99 $29.99 at Best Buy

I'm actually surprised this SSD is seeing a (somewhat) reasonable price

The Seagate FireCuda 530 has long been one of the most popular gaming SSDs, and for good reason. It's got excellent speeds and was one of the first SSDs that was designed with the PS5 in mind - it's actually more of a PC drive, but it did get some praise early on in the PS5's life for having an integrated heatsink, which at that point was pretty rare.

I've seen this drive disappear from the shelves so quickly and take months to restock - that's how popular it is. For that reason, it wasn't uncommon to find it at a more expensive price than the other SSDs. Over at Best Buy, it's seeing a pretty okay price considering the inflation on this kind of technology.

Seagate FireCuda 530 | $114.99 $104.99 at Best Buy

Should you buy the PS5 Pro at $649?

With a $100 discount, the PS5 Pro seems pretty tempting right about now. If you have no interest in PC gaming at all, then this will give you the best console performance available, but it must be said that with the Steam Machine launching early in 2026, and other rumours about the PS6 coming sooner than we all expect, you might be better off waiting.

I'd definitely lean that way if you already have a PS5, because the performance boost the Pro will give you is really only going to be noticeable by a handful of users, and even if you have the right display, PS5 Pro ports of games are proving to come pretty slow, and arrive fairly buggy.

It's certainly a good deal if you've been waiting for this to see a price drop, but I'd personally lean toward getting a PC of some kind if you're willing to spend this sort of money - at least then you'd get more futureproofing if PS6 is, in fact, around the corner.

PS5 Pro | $749 $649 at Amazon

The updated version of our favorite Thrustmaster racing wheel is already discounted

Until recently, the Thrustmaster T248 held the top spot on our racing wheel leaderboards for its solid selection of features for its reasonable $349 price. A few months ago, though, Thrustmaster launched an updated model, which we haven't been able to test out yet, but by all accounts is a better option at the same price.

The sim racing market is particularly competitive at the moment, but I didn't expect to see the brand new model of this wheel get discounted so early into its life. But hey, if you don't want to spend Logitech money on a more premium wheel, all the better for you.

Thrustmaster T248R | $349 $299 at Amazon

You probably don't have long to grab the DualSense Edge at a discounted price

The DualSense Edge very rarely gets any sort of meaningful discount, so the deal below is one I definitely recommend if this controller has been on your shopping list for a while.

Granted, it was even cheaper last week, but with the frequency it returns to the discount shelf, I'd rather take this pretty reasonable discount than face another 8 or 9 months of it at full price.

DualSense Edge | $199 $169 at Amazon

Looking to get into content creation?

If you're looking to get started with livestreaming or some form of content creation, a capture card will come in really handy. Yes, you can use the PS5's integrated game capture features, but it will put extra strain on your system and can sometimes result in glitchy footage (trust me, I've tried using it a lot and it's ruined many a good clip).

The AverMedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 is the best external capture card there is, and it has some excellent features for all sorts of content creators, allowing you to control the nitty-gritty of your recording. It can also allow high refresh rate passthrough, so your gameplay won't suffer while you're streaming or recording.

It launched at a high price, but has since fallen drastically. At its current price, it's an absolute steal.

AverMedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 | $299.99 $164.99 at Amazon

This is one of 2025's best gaming headsets

The Fractal Scape finally launched this year after the brand teased it for about a year. Its super clean design isn't the only thing to like it for though, because its sound quality is pretty absurd for its current discount price.

If you want something comfortable that also does the basics of a gaming headset well, this is one to consider. It also manages to fit RGB lighting in without it looking too stereotypically gamer-y.

Fractal Scape | $199.99 $169.99 at Amazon

Have you been craving some of the most recent Limited Edition DualSense controllers?

If you like to collect limited edition gaming gear, there have been a fair few special models of the DualSense that have launched in 2025. Usually, these cost more than the regular DualSense colorways, but right now, Best Buy has a bunch of them listed for $20 less than usual.

The list includes the 20th Anniversary God of War controller seen above, the gold Ghost of Yotei one, and the Fortnite model.

Limited Edition DualSense Controllers | $84.99 $64.99 at Best Buy

Let the record show that this is a recommendation through gritted teeth

Okay, so I've covered SSDs for years, and I'd consider a good price (that was realistic to expect not too long ago) for a 1TB drive to be around $60-80. For a 2TB drive, I'd look for $120 as a marker for a good deal.

I'm going to recommend this deal because it's probably the best I can find right now, but based on the context above, I'm not happy about it. The Corsair MP600 Elite is a fantastic SSD, but its 1TB model is $95.99 at Amazon right now. For full transparency, that's actually more expensive than its average price at Amazon, but it's comparatively cheap to other PS5 drives. At least you get its heatsink for that money.

Corsair MP600 Elite 1TB | $103 $95.99 at Amazon

Storage prices kinda suck this year, but his heatsink is going cheap

Bear with me on this, I'm trying to find a PS5 SSD deal that I'd actually recommend, but thanks to AI, RAM and SSD tech is getting a lot more expensive right now.

A solution may be to opt for an older drive that doesn't have an integrated heatsink, then grab a heatsink separately. This one from Sabrent is my favorite one to recommend, and at $9.99, I can guarantee it's cheaper than the difference between a regular SSD and its integrated heatsink variant.

Hold the line while I stubbornly will an SSD down to a good price for you.

Sabrent PS5 Heatsink | $13.99 $9.99 at Amazon

Are you a competitive player? You need to know about this controller

If you want a PS5 controller you can customize to the games you play, or one you can mold into the perfect Esports controller for your hands, look no further than the Victrix Pro BFG. It has a modular design which means you can lift out its facial features and swap them around, or swap them out entirely depending on your preferences. It also has four back buttons and a bunch of clever attachments. I never thought I'd see it drift under $100, but here we are.

Victrix Pro BFG | $179.99 $99.99 at Amazon

And while we're at it, here's an underrated headset

If you're looking for some premium gaming headset features on a budget, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 is on offer. While a lot of folks will flock to the Nova Pro, or the budget options like the Nova 5 or 3, I think the 7 is actually a hidden sweet spot in terms of features for your money.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P | $199 $119 at Amazon

One of this year's most underrated games is on offer

Hell is Us takes a different approach to game design than most titles these days, and it refuses to hold your hand. Its world is rich and its gameplay fun, and in a year packed with great games, I wouldn't blame you for not hearing much about it.

It's currently seeing $20 off thanks to Black Friday.

Hell is Us | $59.99 $39.99 at Amazon

PSA: PSVR 2 is a steal right now

If you've ever thought about adding PSVR 2 to your PS5 loadout, there's never been a better time. The Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle is down to just $299 at Amazon, which makes it cheaper than the 256GB model of the Meta Quest 3S, which I'd deem the best budget headset.

Remember when this thing cost more than the PS5?

PSVR 2 Horizon: Call of the Mountain | $399 $299 at Amazon

Looking for a cheaper way to remote play?

If the PlayStation Portal is still a little pricey for you even at its discounted price, there is a cheaper way to remote play you PS5. The GameSir G8 Galileo isn't officially licensed by Sony, but somehow it gives you a seamless way to play PS5 on your mobile just like the official Backbone would.

The best part? It's much cheaper.

GameSir G8 Galileo | $79.99 $63.99 at Amazon

Good morning folks!

Well hello, gamers. It is officially Black Friday and it's time to surf around for more deals.

Rosalie is still enjoying some rest after a late shift last night but her fellow hardware editor and PS5 nerd Duncan is here to hold down the fort. Let me get set up and I'll come at you with some updates.

I'll be back tomorrow!

Thanks for joining me for today's batch of live PS5 gaming deals. I'll be back tomorrow to share all the PS5 game, controller, and headset discounts that I come across. However, for now it's time to get some well-needed rest. I hope to see you back tomorrow for more Sony savings.

This big and bassy PS5 headset is $50 off right now

I like a lot of crunchy, gut-punching bass when it comes to the best PS5 headsets, and the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 provides.

If you're after a mid-range pair of cups that provides that perfect amount of "oomph" to make games like Doom Eternal sound absolutely sublime, this is the pair for you. It is a bit of a chunky boy, and the large foam padding on each cup isn't always very glasses-friendly, but it's easy to get passed that when you start to hear how it handles the lowest of frequencies right out of the box.

Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 wireless gaming headset | $199.99 $149.99 at Amazon

Unicorn Overlord is up there with my favorite games ever, and it's down to a record low on PS5

I'm a huge fan of pretty much every game the studio Vanillaware puts out, but Unicorn Overlord is definitely one of their best titles so far. The game features that gorgeous storybook style art the studio is known for, and a sprawling RPG that has elements of Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy.

If you have a lot of free time and are in the mood for an RPG to play on your PS5, you won't be disappointed with what Unicorn Overlord has on offer, especially as you can grab it for its lowest ever price today. Just be prepared to sink at least 100 hours into this stunning PS5 game.

Unicorn Overlord | $59.99 $24.99 at Amazon

These are the best Black Friday PS5 deals for spooky game fans

Halloween has been over for a while now, but there's no wrong time to pick up and play a horror game, especially when there's plenty of spooky Black Friday deals afoot. Thanks to the influx of deals, you can grab cash off from a ton of horror PS5 games, from the Until Drawn remake to Silent Hill f, which just released months ago.

As the resident horror game girlie of the hardware team, I've gathered all the best PS5 horror game deals I've spotted so far down below. Just don't blame me if you end up needing to sleep with the light on next week.

Silent Hill f Amazon Exclusive Day One Edition | $69.99 $49.94 at Amazon

I wasn't ever going to buy a DualSense Edge controller, but now I'm tempted

Discount or no, the DualSense Edge never really caught my attention. That's partially because it doesn't fix one of my most glaring issues with its predecessor, the horrendous battery life. It's also because of its price, as $200 is a lot to spend on just a PS5 gamepad alone.

However, its current $169 deal price on PS Direct is definitely tempting me. Not only do I need a new controller in general, but I'm very much a fan of mappable back buttons. The controller is also equipped with adjustable stick sensitivity and swappable stick caps, which I'd personally love to have at my disposal. Our team's resident controller expert Duncan stated in his DualSense Edge review that the controller "feels like the next generation controller the DualSense promised to be," and that's making it harder than ever to ignore this Black Friday deal.

This Black Friday is a huge win for brand-new PS5 game deals

You can always bet on PS5 games getting cheaper over time, but this year's Black Friday deals have been extra incredible when it comes to brand-new releases.

Everything from Death Stranding 2 On the Beach to Ghost of Yotei has seen price drops on the lead up to November 28, and it's a great sight to behold. Well, it's not so great for my massive PS5 game backlog, but we don't have to think about that right now.

This Hatsune Miku PS5 wired gaming headset is down to a record-low price

If you're a die-hard Vocaloid or Hatsune Miku fan, then do I have a PS5 deal for you. Right now, the lovely wired PS5 gaming headset is down to its lowest ever price of $94.99 at Best Buy.

Today's saving is only $5 off, which is absolutely tiny and not a saving I'd typically make a fuss about. However, this stunning Hatsune Miku edition headset rarely sees deals of any kind, and it's an officially licensed pair of cups, too. If you're a Vocaloid fan and are after a great-sounding wired headset with light-up Miku silhouettes on the cups, I'd grab this saving while you still can.

PSA - Double check your PS Plus library before you grab a PS5 game deal

If there's one bit of advice I have for the rest of you PS5 players, it's that you have to double-check your PS5 game library before you start buying up all the great Black Friday PS5 games you see. There's a big chance you already have access to at least one of the games you were about to add to your online shopping cart.

Of course, if you're a physical game collector like me, by all means buy up whatever you want. However, it might just save you some cash in the long run if you get in a habit of checking what games you already have access to before you start buying new ones.

This week's rare PlayStation Portal deal has arrived at the perfect time

It's been two years since the release of the PlayStation Portal, so I was most definitely expecting to see a price drop of some sort this Black Friday. However, what was a surprise was the release of a brand-new upgrade right before the Black Friday deals began, which made the PS Portal better than ever before.

Thanks to this update, you can stream PS5 games directly from your game library. Before, you could only stream games via the PlayStation Plus game library, which was useful but only if it was a PS Plus title that you wanted to play. I adore my PS Portal, but part of me wishes that I had waited for this $179.99 Black Friday deal. If you're grabbing it right now, just know I'm very jealous - especially as you can choose between the basic white model or the stunning Midnight Black version instead.

So long stick drift - Sony's official DualSense controllers are $20 off this week

The DualSense is one of my favorite controllers out there, but I can't deny that it has an issue with stick drift. I have a storage box that's just a graveyard for broken-down PS5 controllers, and it's a pretty sad sight. Usually, I just grab a new one, but it gets pretty expensive over time, which is why I'm pleased to see them included in this year's Black Friday PS5 deals.

Look, I'm not happy to be advocating that you just buy a new controller every time stick drift rears its ugly head, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Personally, I prefer having a replacement as it means I still have access to the funky haptic tech that you'll only find in Sony's official pads. And hey, if you have a player two, this extra controller will come in handy.

I bought this monster of a PS5 game deal last night, and you should too

The moment I saw just how cheap Monster Hunter Wilds was this week, I knew I had a grab a copy. Thanks to the influx of Black Friday deals, the game has dropped as low as $30 at Amazon in the US, and last night it was as little as £17 in the UK.

I quickly grabbed a copy as a stocking present for my fiancé, as he adored Monster Hunter World but couldn't quite afford Wilds when it launched earlier this year. I hope he isn't reading this, as then the surprise will be ruined, but either way, I'm glad I was quick to grab it while there were still copies left. To my US pals, I recommend you do the same while it's still at a record low $30 price today.
