Black Friday 2025 PS5 Deals: How Low Will Sony Go?

Sony finally put its Black Friday 2025 cards on the table, and the headline is simple: every PS5 model, including the PS5 Pro, is knocked down by $100. Yes, this comes just a few months after Sony hiked prices in August. And yes, it still ends up being one of the best windows all year to buy or upgrade a PlayStation 5. There are also cuts on accessories, PSVR2, PlayStation Portal, and a pile of digital games.

"PlayStation's Black Friday deals start Nov 21 with discounts on hardware, PlayStation Plus, and the PlayStation Store."

The short version

• Black Friday start date: Friday, Nov 21, 2025. Sony has not shared exact go-live times by region yet.
• Where the deals are: PlayStation Store, PlayStation Direct, and participating retailers like Amazon and Walmart.

What stands out

The $100 cut hits every console, which is the clean, no-math-needed discount we rarely get anymore. The timing is also funny: Sony raised prices in August, and now they are effectively handing back a chunk of that for Black Friday. Still, if you were circling the Pro or finally moving to current-gen, this is a solid shot.

Controller deals almost never show up outside big sales, so if your DualSense is drifting into the abyss, this is the moment to replace it or stock up for couch co-op season.

Games and PS Plus

Sony says the sale covers 'hundreds' of PS4 and PS5 titles with discounts up to 75%. They specifically name-dropped Astro Bot, Lost Soul Aside, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and God of War Ragnarok as part of the lineup. We do not have the full list yet, but expect first-party headliners in the mix and some heavy third-party hitters. PS Plus annual memberships are up to 33% off too, with savings for newcomers and cheaper upgrades for existing members.

Bundles, timing, and sellouts

The Fortnite Flowering Chaos bundles being locked to PlayStation Direct until Nov 26, 2026 is unusually long. If that bundle is your target, Direct is your only option for a while, which also means it could be one of the first things to sell out once the sale opens.

Sony has not posted an end date for the console price cuts yet. Accessory discounts, however, are confirmed to end on Dec 18. If you are aiming for a specific model or bundle, do not wait for the weekend rush. These tend to evaporate fast at PlayStation Direct and the big-box retailers once the doorbusters get traction.

Bottom line

$100 off the entire PS5 family is straightforward and strong, even after the August price bump drama. Add in the rare controller discounts, cheaper PSVR2, and a broad digital sale, and it is a very good time to lock in the hardware you actually want and cherry-pick a few games while you are at it.
