PS5 Cyber Monday: These Are Today’s Best Deals

Cyber Monday has arrived, and that means one thing, more deals. Well, it actually means two things, the deals are also coming to a close. November 27 is the cut-off date for most retailers and brands when it comes to Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals this year, so this is your last chance to save.

Even before today, some deals have already started to sell out due to popularity — so it’s officially time to make those purchases ASAP to ensure you’re not disappointed at the end of today. Hot tips on what’s popular and a good deal: The Spider-Man 2 PS5 slim bundles are by far the most popular Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer so far this shopping season.

We’ve also been blessed with Hogwarts Legacy for $40, Final Fantasy 16 for $35, 30% off PS Plus, DualSense Controllers for $49, and a whole slew of other PS5 games on sale. Check out everything just below or follow @IGNDeals for even more Black Friday PS5 updates.

TL;DR – Best PS5 Black Friday Deals

Cyber Monday PS5 Console Deals

In case you missed it, Sony has been busy making a new slim version of the PS5 console, and they’re still available on Cyber Monday. The bundles were a bit hard to get hold of at first, but the stock has leveled out and the deal is regularly available right now with either Spider-Man 2 or Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (see here at Amazon). PSA: This deal will expire after today and return to the price of $559.99. This is your last chance to save. If you’re 100% digital, the PS5 Slim Digital Edition is also now available for $449.99 at Amazon – see below.

PS5 Slim Digital Edition Is Now Available

Save 10% Off PlayStation Wallet Funds for Cyber Monday

Wait! Before you purchase anything on the digital PlayStation Store or buy/upgrade your PS Plus membership, consider these PlayStation Gift Cards which are currently 10% off. Now while these ‘gift cards’ do make wonderful gifts for the PlayStation fan in your life, there’s nothing stopping you from just applying the code provided to your account. Buy as many of these as you like, and apply as many codes as you see fit in order to make the most savings (including on PS Plus), but this is also your last chance to do so.

PS5 Controller Cyber Monday Deals: DualSense for $49

One of the more standout deals for the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend is Sony’s DualSense Black Friday deal. Opting for controllers like the Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, Galactic Purple or Gray Camo is your best bet as these are some of the most popular, tend to sell out during sale events, and cost the most at $74.99 MSRP — so buying at the $49 Black Friday offer will maximize your savings. Many of these even sold out over the weekend, but are now back for Cyber Monday! You should probably consider making your purchase soon to avoid disappointment, as the CYber Monday sales do indicate the end of this deal.

PS5 Cyber Monday Game Deals

One of the very best things about Cyber Monday is all the amazing savings on video games. This includes discounts on Hogwarts Legacy, Final Fantasy 16, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and loads more as well.

Cyber Monday PS Plus Deals: Last Chance for 30% Off

PSA: If you’re buying anything digitally on PS5 (including PS Plus), ensure you’re purchasing at least one of the PS Wallet Top Up cards that we mentioned above — this will maximise your potential savings for Cyber Monday.

PlayStation Plus has received its Black Friday and Cyber Monday discount (see here) — up to 30% off for new subscribers, while those on Essential or Extra tier can get money off upgrading their membership. However, this potentially could be seen as a temporary reversal of the recent 30% price hike that Sony inplemented in September. If the previous price increase deterred you, the return to the previous pricing still might catch the attention of new PS5 owners who purchased a console.

For existing subscribers, you can disregard the information below and directly log into your account to discover the specific discount Sony is providing for an upgrade to PS Plus Extra or Premium. The offered discount may vary based on the remaining time of your individual PS Plus subscription.

  • PlayStation Plus Essential 12-Month Subscription: $59.99 (was $79.99)
  • PlayStation Plus Extra 12-Month Subscription: $99.99 (was $134.99)
  • PlayStation Plus Premium 12-Month Subscription: $119.99 (was $159.99)

Cyber Monday Deals: Best PS5 Racing Wheels

Racing wheels are an incredible way to play the best racing games on PS5. Boosting your experience with something like the Logitech G29 Racing Wheel can turn it into an incredibly immersive experience. They can be pricey, so this is the best time to catch a brilliant Black Friday deal on this wheel or others. But no matter your budget or preferred gaming platform, we’ve found a great racing wheel for you. For more info, we’ve discussed the best racing wheel for PS5 in our in-depth roundup that can be found on IGN.

PS5 Console Covers: Early Deals at PS Direct and Dbrand

If you’re not interested in picking up the new PS5 slim model and instead just want to invest in a tasty set of PS5 console cover faceplates, then we’ve already got some great deals for you to consider. PS Direct has discounted its range of official covers, down to $44.99, while dbrand has dropped its rival Darkplates 2.0 to $59.05. For those wondering, dbrand is also working on PS5 slim varients of the Darkplates, and you can sign up for update emails here.

PS5 Black Friday Shopping Tips

Many of these tips are applicable no matter what you’re shopping for on Black Friday.

  • Plan Your Spending – It’s important to acknowledge that many of us have substantial video game backlogs. Just because you spot a game you desire on sale, doesn’t mean you should rush to buy it. Set a budget and stick to it. Only invest in games you genuinely intend to play in the near future.
  • Create a Wishlist – A practical approach to keep your Black Friday spending in check is by crafting a wishlist of games or items you’re interested in purchasing, and then adhere to it. Resist the temptation of deals that don’t align with the items you would have bought otherwise.
  • Compare Prices – It’s not uncommon to be enticed by what seems like an excellent Black Friday deal (for instance, The Last of Us Part 1 for $39.99). However, it’s wise to double-check by looking at other popular retailers to see if they offer a matching or even better sale price before hitting the buy button.
  • Act Swiftly on Exceptional Deals – When you stumble upon a truly remarkable deal on a PlayStation game or accessory, don’t hesitate. Retailers have limited stock, and the best deals are likely to sell out before Black Friday concludes. Seize the fantastic deals promptly.
  • But, Don’t Worry if You Miss Out – If you attempt to purchase an outstanding deal and discover that it’s sold out, don’t be disheartened. Often, the very same Black Friday deal may resurface on Cyber Monday. And even if it doesn’t, the next Prime Day will arrive sooner than you think.

Best PlayStation and PS5 Holiday Gift Ideas for 2023

As we near the end of the year — and more importantly, the holiday season — there’s no better time to start looking at gifts for the PlayStation fan in your life (especially with all Black Friday deals to consider). Whether it’s brand-new games, apparel, or collectibles and toys, we’ve scoured the internet for what is sure to be the most popular gifts this season, so check out the many great PlayStation gift recommendations below to make your shopping this year a breeze.

The Best Cyber Monday SSD Deals for PS5: Get a 2TB with Heatsink for $99.99

Did you just pick up a brand new PlayStation 5 console for Black Friday? Or are you a long-time console owner who has finally used up all 1TB of the PS5’s base storage? Fortunately, Cyber Monday is unquestionably the best time of year to score a fast and reliable PS5 compatible gaming SSD at the lowest price possible. Score a 2TB SSD, which triples your storage space, for under $100!

Looking for more Cyber Monday deals like this? Check out the best Cyber Monday deals of 2023.

Cyber Monday Deal: Nextorage 1TB PS5 SSD with Heatsink for $99.99

There’s an interesting story behind Nextorage Japan. Nextorage describes itself as a company that was “created by a group of ex-Sony engineers and staff with over 20 years of experience in the development of memory and storage products”. Nextorage was actually originally created by Sony in 2019 as an SSD sub-division about a year before the PS5 was released. Presumably this was to be the basis for an official SSD sold by Sony themselves. For whatever reason, Sony decided to ditch that idea and sold this business to another stakeholder in the company, Phison, in 2022. Phison is another large reputable company that specializes in solid state memory controllers. You’ll find their controllers in name-brand SSDs like Seagate, Corsair, and Sabrent. Under Phison, Nextorage Japan eventually accomplished the goal of releasing an SSD catered specifically for the PS5 console in the form of this product right here.

Cyber Monday Deal: Seagate Game Drive 2TB SSD with Heatsink $149.99

Now here’s an SSD you don’t see discounted often. The Seagate Game Drive is only the second SSD to be officially licensed for the PlayStation console. What that means is this SSD is pretty much guaranteed to work with your PS5 with no problems whatsoever. It’s pricier than the other options in this list, but it’s still a hefty discount off MSRP and the lowest price we’ve seen. Seagate is a very reputable brand.

Cyber Monday Deal: WD Black SN850X 4TB PS5 SSD for $229.99

The SN850X is the latest generation of WD’s flagship Black series M.2 SSDs. It’s easily one of the fastest SSDs on the market. There are only a few SSDs out right now that can match its speed. Off the top of my head, the only SSDs I can think of are the new Samsung 990 Pro and the SK Hynix P41 Platinum. The SN850X also makes for an excellent PS5 SSD. It is identical to the SN850P, which is an officially licensed PS5 SSD. The only caveat is that this particular model doesn’t include a built-in heatsink. That is easily remedied by picking up a PS5 heatsink off Amazon for $7.

Cyber Monday Deal: Corsair MP600 2TB PS5 SSD with Heatsink $110

Corsair is a very well known brand for DIY PC builders. Corsair makes some of the best gaming products on the market, and that includes solid-state memory like RAM and SSDs. The MP600 Pro is Corsair’s fastest M.2 SSD and the “LPX” model is “optimized for PS5” because it includes a rugged preinstalled heatsink that is slim enough to fit in the PS5 bay without any issues. We rated it the best PS5 SSD for 2023.

Cyber Monday Deal: Samsung 980 Pro 2TB M.2 SSD with Heatsink $119.99

Samsung SSDs need no introduction. They’ve made some of the most popular and reliable PS5 SSDs on the market. The 980 Pro has been out for a long time, way back in January of 2020. A testament to its reliability is the fact that Samsung didn’t feel any need to release any newer flagship model until only this year. In terms of performance, it’s no longer the fastest SSD on the market (the 990 Pro is), but it’s still a very fast drive. It certainly more than meets the minimum 5600MB/s speed requirement to be used as a PS5 storage upgrade, with speeds of up to 7,100MB/s.

All the Black Friday SSD Deals for your PS5 Console

What is a PS5-compatible SSD?

An SSD that expands your PS5’s storage is essentially the same SSD that goes into your gaming PC. However, because of the PS5 has certain requirements that must be met for full compatibility. These are:

  • The SSD and its heatsink must fit in the PS5 drive bay (requirement)
  • The SSD must have a PCIe 4.0 interface (requirement)
  • The SSD should have a minimum read speed of 5600MB/s (recommended)
  • The SSD should have a heatsink for proper cooling (recommended)

An SSD that is slower than 5,600MB/s should still work. In fact, if it’s close to the rated speed, you may never notice any difference. The reason Sony gives this recommendation is that the stock SSD that comes with the PS5 is rated at 5,600MB/s. If you add a slower SSD, you will bottleneck your stock SSD.

Likewise, you may not need a heatsink. SSDs are rated for higher temps than what you’d normally expect to achieve even inside a PS5 that’s running fult tilt. However, there’s no real airflow around the SSD bay and SSDs do get pretty hot. We’d recommend getting a preinstalled heatsink or installing one yourself for peace of mind and potentially to prevent thermal throttling and extending the lifespan of your SSD.

Can I use this SSD in my gaming PC?

Absolutely! PS5-compatible SSDs will work with any PC with an available M.2 slot that supports PCIe 4.0 M.2 solid state drives. In fact, if you get a PS5-compatible SSD, you’re essentially guaranteed to get an SSD that’s going to perform extremely well because of the higher rated speed.

Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Deals: Games, Consoles, and Switch Accessories

Here’s good news for Nintendo Switch owners (and prospective owners): Cyber Monday 2023 is happening, but it won’t last forever. For a limited time, tons of Nintendo Switch games, accessories, and console bundles are on sale, many for all-time low prices. Major game series like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Kirby have already seen price drops of $30 or more — and more discounts are coming online all the time. Even more, the new Nintendo Switch OLED Cyber Monday console bundle is still available to purchase if you missed out. Let’s take a look at the deals.

Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros. OLED Cyber Monday Bundle

The new Cyber Monday Switch OLED bundle features a digital download of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. Priced at $349.99 MSRP, it offers approximately $67.98 in savings. This new bundle has been extremely popular, and will probably sell out fast — so make your purchase ASAP to avoid disappointment. These special editions rarely last long.

Standard Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch Console Bundle

Cyber Monday comes early for anyone in the market for a Nintendo Switch console, because one of the best Nintendo Switch deals around is available right now. Granted, it’s the same deal Nintendo offers every year around this time, but it’s a good one nevertheless. It gets you a Nintendo Switch console, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and 3 months of individual Nintendo Switch Online — all for $299.99. That’s the normal price of a Switch on its own, so you’re essentially getting Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of online service for free. That’s a better deal than you’ll find on Switch hardware any other time of the year, so grab it if you want it.

Nintendo Switch Game Cyber Monday Deals

Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Game Deals at Walmart

Now that Walmart’s Cyber Monday sale is live, the retailer is offering some of the biggest discounts on Nintendo Switch games.

Switch Cyber Monday Game Deals at Best Buy

The Best Buy Cyber Monday sale has begun, dropping prices on all kinds of items. That includes a large swath of Switch games.

Switch Game Deals at Amazon

Amazon’s Black Friday deals have (technically) come and gone, with the online retailer swapping everything over to Cyber Monday deals.

Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Deals at GameStop

If it’s Switch games you’re after, you can save 50% off select games at GameStop right now. That includes games like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, Super Mario Party, and more for $29.99 or less. You can find the full list of games on sale, regardless of platform, check out all the best GameStop Cyber Monday deals.

Nintendo eShop Sale is Live

Nintendo is running a big sale on digital games on the Nintendo eShop. If you prefer buying your games in digital format, make sure to stock up on digital currency below, on sale now for 10% off. Do that, and it’s like getting a discount on top of a discount.

Nintendo eShop Credit is 10% Off

This is a deal for anyone who prefers digital Switch games. Walmart is selling all denominations of its Nintendo Switch eShop credit for 10% off. If you buy this and use it to purchase an eShop game that’s on sale right now, you’re basically stacking a discount on a discount.

MicroSD Card Cyber Monday Deals

The Nintendo Switch doesn’t come with all that much onboard storage. If you’re bumping up against the limits of your Switch’s capacity to hold digital games, simply pop in a microSD card to boost its capabilities.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is $9.99

While this isn’t a game, it’s certainly Nintendo-related. You can grab a 4K copy of The Super Mario Bros. Movie on sale for under $10. Great deal.

Nintendo Switch Online Cyber Monday Deal

Amazon is offering select digital Nintendo products for 10% off. You can stock up on Nintendo eShop credit, effectively getting a discount on any game you use it on. Or you can save 10% while subscribing to Nintendo Switch Online, getting you access to things like cloud saves and NES and SNES classics.

Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Accessory Deals

Super Mario Party + Joy-Con Bundle

Nintendo has released a new bundle that gets you some delightful blue and red Joy-Con, plus a digital copy of Super Mario Party for $99.99. That’s a big savings on buying the two items separately. And Mario Party is a great local multiplayer game, so it’s definitely worth picking up if you have friends/family over.

More Accessory Deals

One of the best Switch accessories is the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Last year, it got a Black Friday sale price of $49.99, which is $20 off its usual price. Somehow, no deal on the Pro Controller, or on Joy-Cons aside from the Smash Bros. bundle above, have gone live.

Another must-have Switch accessory, at least if you download digital games from the eShop, is a microSD card (which also compatible with Steam Deck and ROG Ally). Pop one of these tiny storage devices into your Switch, and you can keep more digital games on the device without having to re-download them when you want to play. You’ll can find deep discounts on microSD cards during Cyber Monday 2023, making it great time to add 128GB, 512GB, or even 1TB of storage to your Switch.

Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Console Deals

Aside from the Switch bundle mentioned above, Nintendo has finally introduced a new Cyber Monday bundle for Switch. The new Nintendo Switch – OLED Model and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate bundle is now available.

This bundle offer will include a unique Switch OLED model, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (digital download), and three months of Nintendo Switch Online. It will cost $349.99 MSRP, with around $67.98 in savings. This offer marks it as one of the hot items to consider for Switch Black Friday & Cyber Monday sales.

Where to Find Nintendo Deals on Cyber Monday

We’ll provide plenty of links to all the best Nintendo deals on Cyber Monday, but here’s where you can expect to find them. In terms of Switch games, you’ll be able to find deals on them at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and the like. If you prefer to download games, you’ll be able to find digital Switch games at most of those retailers as well, plus the Nintendo eShop, which you can access directly from your Switch.

The same goes for Nintendo Switch accessories, including Switch headsets and Switch controllers, which should be discounted widely at the usual retailers.

The Best Buy Cyber Monday sale is live and the Walmart Cyber Monday and Amazon Cyber Monday sales are, too. Here’s the Nintendo Switch section at all of the following retailers:

Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Shopping Tips

Many of these tips are applicable no matter what you’re shopping for on Cyber Monday.

  1. Set a Budget – It’s safe to say many of us have massive video game backlogs. Just because you see a game you want on sale doesn’t mean you should buy it immediately. Set a budget and stick to it. Only buy the games you think you’ll play soon.
  2. Make a Wishlist – One of the best ways to keep your Cyber Monday spending under control is to make a wishlist of games or other items you want to buy, and stick to it. Ignore the deals that aren’t on items you would’ve bought otherwise.
  3. Compare Prices – Sometimes I’ll bite on a Cyber Monday deal that looks great (say, Link’s Awakening for $39.99). But then I’ll see the very same item on sale for 25% less at another retailer. Before you click the buy button, check the other popular retailers to see if they match (or beat) the sale price.
  4. Snag Particularly Good Deals Fast – If you see a hard-to-believe great deal on a Switch game or accessory, grab it sooner rather than later. Retailers only have so much stock, so it’s likely that the best deals will sell out before Cyber Monday ends. Grab great deals fast.
  5. Don’t Fret if You Miss Out – If you click on a killer deal and find that it’s sold out, don’t despair. Often times the exact same Cyber Monday deal will come back in stock on Cyber Monday. And even if not, the next Prime Day will be here before you know it.

Walmart Has the Best Cyber Monday PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch Bundle Deals

Walmart’s Cyber Monday sale officially goes live at 4:00 PM PT today, but you can still pick up plenty of Black Friday console bundles such as the PS5 Slim Spider-Man 2 and Modern Warfare III bundles, along with its own custom Black Friday bundle deals on Xbox Series X. Walmart’s Black Friday deals are still live, with plenty of console bundles on sale for anyone in the market for a new gaming machine. This selection includes the new PS5 slim bundles with a free game (Modern Warfare 3 or Spider-Man 2), plenty of Diablo 4 Xbox Series X bundles, as well as deals on the Xbox Series S and even Nintendo Switch OLED. Conveniently, the best Black Friday TV deal is also at Walmart, a Sony Bravia 65″ OLED for $1398. With 120Hz refresh, it’s the perfect TV for the current crop of 4K consoles.

Walmart PS5 Cyber Monday Deals

PS5 Slim with Spider-Man 2 or Call of Duty Console Bundle for $499 (Save $70)

Note that this is the brand-new slim model of the PS5, which is pretty cool on its own. But if you were to buy these items separately, they’d cost you $569. These are currently on sale for Cyber Monday for $499.

PS5 Slim Vertical Stand

Believe it or not, Sony isn’t including a vertical stand in the new PS5 slim models. So if you want to set it vertically in your entertainment stand, you’ll probably want to pick up this $29.99 accessory. It’s kind of annoying that it’s an add-on, but it’ll keep your slim standing.

Walmart Xbox Series X and S Cyber Monday Deals

If you’re on Team Green (that’s what I’m calling Xbox fans; I think it’ll catch on), you can save a bundle on new console… bundles… at Walmart as well. Check out what’s available above and grab whichever one strikes your fancy.

Walmart Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Deals

If you could use a new Nintendo Switch for yourself or someone on your list this year, you might as well get a free game with it. Walmart has the standard Switch holiday bundles (featuring a game + 3-months of Switch Online), but it’s also offering a Switch OLED bundle that includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $359 as well.

Will We See PS5 Slim Digital Cyber Monday Deals?

So far, we haven’t seen any offerings for the PS5 Digital edition, only bundles for the disc-version. In fact, we haven’t even seen it listed anywhere at any configuration. Since the PS5 launched, the few instances where we’ve seen deals have always been on the disc version, so if you’re holding out for the digital PS5 deal, honestly, you might just want to bite the bullet and grab one of the PS5 slim disc editions on sale instead.

DualSense Controller Cyber Monday Deals: $49 Each

DualSense Controllers have once again dropped to their sale price of $49, a reasonable $20-$25 discount depending on which color variant you choose. Opting for controllers like the Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, Galactic Purple or Gray Camo is your best bet as these are some of the most popular, tend to sell out during sale events, and cost the most at $74.99 MSRP — so buying at this at the $49 Cyber Monday offer will maximize your savings.

Walmart’s Cyber Monday deals also feature some exciting discounts for Apple users. Right now, you can save on the 2nd generation Apple AirPods Pro (both versions with a Lightning charging port and USB-C charging port) and the brand-new Apple Watch Series 9. The latter’s price has dropped down $50 on both the 41mm and 45mm models, so you can pick them up for $349 and $379, respectively.

Alongside Walmart, Amazon and Best Buy also have some Cyber Monday deals that are live and worth looking at. If you’re curious about what’s included in those, make sure to check out our roundups of Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals and Best Buy’s Cyber Monday deals to learn more. Although Black Friday has passed, plenty of deals are still live and we want to help you save as much as possible while shopping. You can also check out our breakdowns on what’s included in Costco’s Cyber Monday deals along with details on Apple’s Cyber Monday deals, PlayStation’s Cyber Monday deals, Xbox’s Cyber Monday deals, and Nintendo’s Cyber Monday deals.

Spider-Man 2 is Included for Free With This New PS5 Cyber Monday Bundle

Sony has revealed what could be its final PS5 2020 model bundle as part of its Cyber Monday sale across most online retailers. You can currently purchase the new Spider-Man 2 console bundle for $499, a noteworthy discount considering Spider-Man 2 launched only last month and typically still costs $70 MSRP.

But, this new bundle hasn’t stopped Sony from kicking off its new ‘slim’ model with a Cyber Monday deal as well, with the new PS5 Slim Spidey bundle now in stock at Amazon and Best Buy. There’s also the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 slim bundle to consider for $499.99 as well. For more more Cyber Monday offers, be sure to check out our comprehensive PS5 deal roundup, or follow us @IGNDeals on Twitter/X for plenty more updates.

PS5 Slim Spider-Man 2 Bundle for $499

PS5 2020 Spider-Man 2 Bundle for $499

DualSense Controllers Are Also On Sale: Save Up to $25

In other Cyber Monday news, DualSense controllers have returned to their sale price of $49 (see here), a reasonable $20-$25 discount depending on which color variant you choose. This even includes the shiny new Cobalt Blue and Volcanic Red controllers, alongside other popular $75 picks like Galatic Purple and Grey Camo.

GameStop has also got a great deal on the controllers, matching that $49.99 price if you decide to click & collect. This is another great option if you have a store nearby and don’t lose too much on the gas to get there as well.

Should You Shop Early Cyber Monday Deals?

The answer to this is always: it depends. Cyber Monday has become something of a misnomer over the past few years and typically spans the whole of November rather than just a few days. Deals begin to crop up early these days, and that can leave many of us wondering whether or not these offers are actually worth taking advantage of — or whether it’s best to actually wait until Cyber Monday itself.

For these PlayStation deals, we highly recommend taking advantage of them right now. Getting a free game like Spider-Man 2 or Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 — which are both $70 MSRP — with a new console is no joke, and will likely beat any other others we may see on the PS5 in the coming days. For example, the most significant PS5 deal we’ve seen in 2023 was a $50 discount. While that’s a good offer, it doesn’t quite measure up to the money-saving value offered by these latest bundles. If you decide to wait on more deals, check out the IGN Store in the meantime for plenty of Spider-Man goodness.

DualSense controllers are also currently available at their lowest price of $49, which has consistently been the discount price since Cyber Monday last year and also during the PlayStation Days of Play sales in 2023. We highly doubt that these will drop any further. Plus, all of these deals are randomly selling out, which means you can’t rely on stock even if they are discounted further at a later date. So, for now, go nuts with these latest PS5 discounts and relish in the fact that you’ve scored a real early Cyber Monday deal. Better safe than sorry.

13 Best PS5 Game Cyber Monday Deals That Are Already Live

While we love PS5 games, they can be a little on the expensive side at times. As games continue to push the boundaries of what is possible on a console, prices are starting to align with these advancements, leading to the introduction of $70 launch games. Thankfully, these prices don’t last forever if you have a bit of patience, and now PlayStation Cyber Monday deals are already here to help with a few top discounts.

We’ve had our eye on the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for a while, but now as this is probably your last chance to secure a discount, it’s time to stick down our metaphorical flag and declare: these deals are good. We’ve found Cyber Monday deals from a variety of retailers for the very best games like Final Fantasy 16, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Diablo 4, and more. But, watch out, as the countdown to the end of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales is now on, and these deals will be gone by the end of the day on November 27.

Final Fantasy 16 Cyber Monday Deals

You can pick up 2023’s entry into the Final Fantasy saga for just $34.99, that’s a fantastic 50% off right now. If you’ve yet to play this game, then you should move fast to snap it up. We gave it a 9/10 back in June when it first came out – stating: “Featuring fast, reflex-driven, action-heavy combat, Final Fantasy 16 is certainly a departure from what fans may expect out of a Final Fantasy game, but its excellent story, characters, and world-building are right up there with the best the series has to offer, and the innovative Active Time Lore feature should set a new standard for how lengthy, story-heavy games keep players invested in its world.”

Hogwarts Legacy Cyber Monday Deals

There are a couple of wonderful Cyber Monday deals for the Harry Potter game we’ve always dreamed of. It’s down to $30 on PS4, or $40 on PS5, and these are both tremendous discounts going into the holiday season. This is the perfect gift for any fan of the wizarding world. We gave Hogwarts Legacy a 9/10 in our review – stating: “In nearly every way, Hogwarts Legacy is the Harry Potter RPG I’ve always wanted to play. Its open-world adventure captures all the excitement and wonder of the Wizarding World with its memorable new characters, challenging and nuanced combat, and a wonderfully executed Hogwarts student fantasy that kept me glued to my controller for dozens of hours.”

Here’s one where you get to go: ‘It should’ve been that price in the first place!’ — Well, we’ll let you have your fun. The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Cyber Monday deal isn’t something to write home about, but it’s the best way to play the classic games on modern consoles right now, and it does come with a lot of content. So, at $39.99, you’re getting a reasonable deal here. It’s not getting any cheaper, either, so this is the best offer you’re going to get.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Cyber Monday Deals

Yes, we gave Modern Warfare 3’s campaign a 4/10 (and its multiplayer a 6/10). No, that doesn’t mean this specific IGN writer (hi!) is going to tell you not to buy this game — you can make your own minds up. But, if you are interested, the latest Call of Duty entry is over $10 off in the Cyber Monday sale, which is likely the best deal we’re getting if you’re looking to play the game over your winter break.

Sonic Superstars Cyber Monday Deals

The latest game in the long line Sonic titles is Sonic Superstars, and while this latest entry isn’t getting the same attention as last years break from the formula Sonic Frontiers, it’s still one of the top selling games on Amazon right now during the Cyber Monday sales. At $35, a $25 discount compared to the $59.99 MSRP, this is a great deal. We gave Sonic Superstars a 7/10 in our review – stating: “Sonic Superstars has a mix of both interesting and ill-advised new ideas, making it an enjoyable Sonic game but not exactly a Super one.”

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Cyber Monday Deals

Walmart is currently the king of Black Friday discounts, as it also has Star Wars Jedi Survivor for just $30, which is a whole $4.99 less than every other retailer right now. This puts Jedi: Survivor at over 50% off, which is one of the best Cyber Monday deals we’ve seen this year. If you haven’t had the chance to pick up Cal’s latest adventure, this is a great opportunity to do so. We gave the game a 9/10 in our review.

Diablo 4 Cyber Monday Deals

One of the best games of the year, Diablo 4, is down to just $50 this Black Friday. It’s not a huge discount, but it’s still a significant one. If you haven’t had the chance to pay the incredible ARPG just yet, well this is the perfect opportunity. We gave the game a 9/10 in our review – stating: “Diablo 4 is a stunning sequel with near-perfect endgame and progression design that makes it absolutely excruciating to put down.”

God of War Ragnarok Cyber Monday Deals

One of the standout games from 2022 was God of War Ragnarok. If you haven’t played this game yet, then you’re missing out — it’s truely incredible. We expected this title to pop up among the deals for Cyber Monday this year, and we’re just very excited that the 50% discount has gone live so early.

The Last of Us Part 2 Cyber Monday Deals

Here us out, as this is a great deal. If you’re interested in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered but haven’t bought the core game yet — you should get this deal. It’s down to $19.99 for the physical copy from PS Direct, and this is $20 less than every other retailer right now.

This is a big deal as those who already own The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4 will be able to upgrade to a digital remastered version on PS5 for just $10 on January 19. Save files will also be able to be imported into Part 2 Remastered. Naughty Dog also clarified that upgrades for disc copies of the PS4 version are only available if you have a PS5 with a disc drive.

EA Sports FC 24 Cyber Monday Deals

We might complain about it, but FIFA and now EA Sports FC are some of the best-selling games every single year — so there’s definitely still an appeal out there for happy gamers. If you haven’t had the chance to pick up the world-leading soccer sim just yet, well you’re in luck as it’s 57% off in the Black Friday sales.

Currently available for just $29.99 at retailers like Best Buy, this is a great deal and likely the best offer we’re getting on the game until it inevitably ends up on EA Play and Xbox Game Pass come May or June 2024. If you don’t want to wait until then, we suggest bagging this deal this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For digital owners, the game is down to $34.99 on PS5 but you can also save 10% on PS credit right now; so ensure you use that before making any purchases.

The Last of Us Part 1 Cyber Monday Deals

Let’s be honest, this is probably the price it should’ve been in the first place, rather than a whole — checks notes — $70? Well, at least it’s come down quite heavily in price now to $39.99. If you were hoping for any further discounts, you’re out of luck as this is the best we’re getting. Still, we think this is quite a good deal for the perfect version of one of the best games ever made. We gave the game a 9/10 in our review – stating: “A gorgeous and well-honed remake of one of the biggest boppers in the PlayStation pantheon, The Last of Us Part I is the best way to play – or replay – Naughty Dog’s esteemed survival classic.”

Assassin’s Creed Mirage Cyber Monday Deals

Assassin’s Creed Mirage has dropped to just $39.99 in the Black Friday sales across most retailers. This is the best deal we’re getting on Mirage, otherwise you can always opt for the Deluxe edition at $44.99 instead. We gave the game an 8/10 in our review – stating: “Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s back-to-basics approach is a successful first step in returning to the stealthy style that launched this series.”

Street Fighter 6 Cyber Monday Deals

What can we say, Capcom has been releasing some absolute gems lately, and the Black Friday deals are good as well. Just like its Capcom brother RE4, Street Fighter 6 is down to $30 at Walmart. We gave the game an amazing 9/10 in our review – stating: “Street Fighter 6 is the most feature-rich a Street Fighter has ever been at launch, but even beyond that, it’s roster of 18 characters is excellent, the new mechanics revitalize the one-on-one fighting formula, and it absolutely nails all of the little things that make for a stellar fighting game.”

Mortal Kombat 1 Cyber Monday Deals

If you prefer your fighting games to feature significantly more blood and gore, then Mortal Kombat 1 is the one for you. It features fast-paced fighting, plus significantly more murder than you’ll find in the likes of Street Fighter 6. It didn’t come out long ago, but it’s already on sale for just $40. See our 8/10 review for all the reasons why it’s worth your time.

Resident Evil 4 Cyber Monday Deals – Out of Stock

Walmart’s Black Friday sale is now on, and boy it’s brought with it some incredible discounts. $30 for a Game of the Year contender is a great deal, and this is absolutely the best offer we’re going to get this Black Friday weekend. We gave the remake a Masterpiece 10/10 in our review – stating: “The Resident Evil 4 remake is the series’ most relentlessly exciting adventure rebuilt, refined, and realized to the full extent of its enormous potential.” This is such a great deal on such a great game, and we’re convinced it’s going to sell out before the Cyber Monday sales next week. RE4 is also our top pick for the best Xbox games for Black Friday as well.
