I've been tracking PS5 Black Friday deals since launch — here's the ...

The PS5's default black-and-white motif has been dividing opinions since the console launched in November 2020. Personally, I like it, but if you want a change, PS5 Console Covers are on sale at PS Direct.

The discount applies to several hues from Midnight Black to Sterling Silver and you can get Console Covers for the base PS5 (Disc or Digital model), as well as the newer PS5 Slim. My favorite pick has to be the Volcanic Red for $49.

Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 is definitely on my wishlist this holiday season as I missed it when it launched earlier this year, and this Black Friday deal looks like the perfect chance for me to circle back. Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 is on sale for $49 at Amazon, down from $69.

Set in the iconic 40,000 Warhammer world, this is a third-person shooter with big guns and even bigger suits of armor. You play a squad of Space Marines taking on the relentless Tyranid swarm and can recruit up to two of your friends to join on your mission in co-op.

God of War Ragnarök is a mighty impressive sequel, and it's currently more than 50% off at Best Buy's Black Friday sale. God of War Ragnarök is now just $29, which is a very epic discount!

In his review, Tony Polanco said "God of War Ragnarök is arguably the series' best entry thanks to its gripping narrative, engaging gameplay and stunning visuals. It is the definition of a "must-have" title."

The average file size of a PS5 game is slowly creeping up, with some blockbuster titles demanding as much as 150GBs. If your console's stock storage isn't getting the job down, you'll want to invest in an internal SSD, such as the WD_Black SN850X which is now on sale.

The WD_Black SN850X is fully compatible with PS5 and can be installed in just a matter of minutes. If you want more details, I recently tested out the SSD in a PS5 Pro, and you can read about my experience here. But overall, I found it to be a great choice for PS5 owners wanting more hard drive space without sacrificing performance or load times.

If you're looking for an engrossing RPG, Dragon's Dogma 2 fits the bill perfectly. In this epic fantasy adventure, you set out on a quest to stop a cataclysmic event in a world full of hostile creatures and monsters. Dragon's Dogma 2 strips away a lot of modern conveniences, such as frequent checkpoints, in the name of keeping players on their toes, but with its Pawn companions you never have to face it's challenges solo.

Persona 3 Reload is a ground-up remake of the beloved RPG, and it's now just $24 at Amazon. This is the perfect game if you enjoyed Persona 5 Royal, and are looking for another mixture between dungeon-crawling and high school social simulation. As this is a Persona game you can expect an unrivaled sense of style and a gripping story packed with memorable characters and shocking twists.

Anybody who knows me will tell you that I've not shut up about Lies of P for over a year at this point. The gothic Soulslike was my personal GOTY for 2023, and after recently starting a third playthrough, I can confirm it's just as enthralling and satisfying a year on from launch.

This is a game worth paying full price for, so the fact you can now pick it up on sale is a can't-miss deal. Lies of P is now just $34 at Amazon. If you missed the hype train, it's a fantasy action RPG inspired by the works of FromSoftware (creators of Dark Souls and Elden Ring), you play a puppet come to life and must explore a hostile world.

If you need a new PS5 pad this Black Friday, head over to PlayStation Direct and you can score a $20 discount on DualSense controllers.

Even better this saving is on DualSense controllers in multiple designs so you could stick with the standard white but why not opt for something more colorful like Chroma Indigo or Galactic Purple? Some of the most funky colors are $5 extra, but I'm happy to spend a little more for a controller that looks the business.

The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vo.1 is an imperfect remaster of the first three entries in the legendary action-stealth series. Fortunately, many of its launch issues have been ironed out, and even if some persist, the quality of the game is undisputed.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 is on sale for $18 at Amazon, that's more than 50% off. This is one of the best Black Friday PS5 deals I've spotted so far. Alongside the first three MGS games, it also includes some bonus materials, and the original Metal Gear and its sequel.

Silent Hill 2 ranks as my biggest gaming surprise of 2024 — apologies to developer Bloober Team for my lack of faith. This remake of the survival horror classic is absolutely phenomenal. And now you can pick up this modern take on the beloved horror at a discount. Silent Hill 2 is just $49 at Amazon, an almost 30% discount and the lowest price.

When we're talking about PlayStation deals on Black Friday there's only one place to start, and that's with the PS5 console itself. Last year, the best-selling gaming machine was refreshed with a new slimmer model, and PS5 Slim is on sale now.

Head to Walmart, and you can get a PS5 Slim for $424, down from its MSRP of $499. Alternatively, if you want to spend as little as possible, and don't need a disc drive, the PS5 Slim (Digital Edition) is $374 at Best Buy. You can't go wrong with either, but I'd recommend opting for the PS5 Slim with a disc drive, as physical PS5 games are more often discounted, so it's a money-saver in the long run.
