• PlayStation’s early sale is live: Tom’s Guide highlights a fresh wave of PS5 digital deals from $2–$3, including hits like Cyberpunk 2077 ($22) and Monster Hunter Wilds (lowest price ~$48). A broader “November Savings” promotion covers 2,400+ titles up to 80% off, running into the week of Nov. 21. 1
• Cloud streaming transforms PlayStation Portal: This week, Sony added full PS5 cloud streaming (Premium tier required), letting Portal owners stream thousands of compatible PS5 titles without tethering to a home console—timely ahead of holiday deals. 2

When do the PlayStation and retailer sales start?

• PlayStation Black Friday window (leaked): A dependable deals report indicates Sony’s official PlayStation Black Friday sale will begin Nov. 21 (not yet confirmed by Sony). Expect a big PS Store event, PS Plus promos, and a holiday console bundle. 3
• Black Friday 2025 (U.S.) is Friday, Nov. 28 (the day after Thanksgiving). Major retailers will roll out phased events and early-access windows ahead of that date. 4

The headline leak: 2025 PS5 Black Friday bundle

  A leak points to a PS5 Slim (Disc) bundle with exclusive Fortnite cosmetics (8 items worth 5,000 V-Bucks) plus 1,000 V-Bucks, launching Nov. 21 at $450 (roughly $100 off). Sony hasn’t officially confirmed this yet. 3

Tip: Prices on digital titles can change rapidly during November; if a must-play game hits an all‑time low (or close), consider locking it in rather than waiting for Black Friday weekend.

Early console & accessory values worth a look

• Console + PS Plus value bundle (US): GameStop’s PS5 (disc) + 24 months of PS Plus Premium for $579.99 (about $170 off list) remains one of the strongest value bundles ahead of Black Friday. 5
• Costco (US) ad special, starts Nov. 21:PS5 Slim (disc) + extra DualSense for $479.99 — a $120 savings on Costco’s listed price. Membership required. 6
• DualSense Edge premium controller has already dipped to $179.99 at Walmart (‑$20). It’s a rare pre‑BF markdown on Sony’s pro pad. 7
• PS5 SSD (2TB) deals: A frequently featured pick is the WD_Black SN850P 2TB around $184, a strong price for a heatsinked drive built for PS5. 8
• UK early bundle: Very/EE have cut prices on PS5 Slim and bundles (e.g., PS5 Slim Digital + EA Sports FC 26 at ~£429 listed by The Independent). Regional pricing and availability vary. 9

What to expect between now and Nov. 28

• Consoles: Due to 2025 U.S. price hikes (PS5 Disc ~$549.99, Digital ~$499.99, Pro announced as high as $749.99), deep base-hardware cuts may be modest; bundles (extra controller, game credits, services) will likely carry the best value. Look for at least $50 real savings to beat pre‑tariff levels. 6
• PS Plus discounts: 2024’s PlayStation Black Friday cut up to 30% off annual PS Plus (and a leak suggests similar percentages with a likely Nov. 21 start). Renewals and tier upgrades may be included; details vary by region and are not yet confirmed for 2025. 10
• Accessories & storage: Expect aggressive pricing on controllers, headsets, and NVMe SSDs (1–2TB). Third‑party headsets like SteelSeries Nova 5 and Sony’s own pads typically see the biggest drops. 7
• PlayStation Portal: With this week’s cloud streaming rollout for PS Plus Premium members, any Portal discount (even a small one) becomes more compelling for remote play. Some outlets speculate $10–$30 off around Black Friday, though that remains rumor. 2

Should you buy now or wait?

• Buy now if:
  • You want digital game deals already at (or near) all‑time lows during the November Savings event. 11
  • You value service bundles (e.g., PS5 + 24 months PS Plus Premium) more than a pure console price drop. 5
• Consider waiting until Nov. 21–28 if:
  • You want a brand‑new console bundle at a lower effective price (watch that rumored $450 PS5 Slim “Flowering Chaos” set). 3
  • You’re targeting PS Plus annual discounts, traditionally the deepest of the year (pending 2025 confirmation). 10
