Top PlayStation Black Friday Deals

If you’re considering diving into virtual reality, now might be the perfect time; the PlayStation VR 2 Horizon bundle is just $349 on Amazon—a hefty 42% off its usual $599.99 price. We gave the PSVR2 a stellar 9/10 in our review, and it presents a strong case against other budget-friendly VR headsets like the Meta Quest.

PlayStation fans have plenty to celebrate with a range of appealing discounts: PS5 bundles, the PS5 Slim, PS Plus subscriptions, PSVR 2, and colorful DualSense controllers—all part of PlayStation’s Black Friday Sale. At the time of writing, PS5 game bundles are down to $374.99 (from the typical $449.99 or higher), and that includes the Fortnite Cobalt Star Bundle and NBA 2K Bundles in both digital and disc versions. Our advice? If you spot a popular deal that’s being price-matched across different retailers, act fast before they sell out or the discount disappears!

It’s also worth mentioning that many of these awesome PS5 deals are available to our friends across the pond in the UK at comparable prices.
