PlayStation Reveals Black Friday 2024 Retail Deals

PlayStation has officially kicked off its Black Friday 2024 sale with a plethora of products and games discounted via PlayStation Direct, including PS5 consoles, controllers, virtual reality headsets, and more. While Black Friday isn’t actually until November 29, multiple companies such as PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo, have already started to share some big discounts across their products.

While Sony now has plenty of hardware discounts available via its official website, gamers can also check out all of the company’s PlayStation Store discounts for Black Friday, which include 38% off of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, 15% off of Game of the Year award nominee Astro Bot, 20% off of the smash hit horror remake Silent Hill 2, and many more. For those looking to jump into their next triple-a title or underrated indie game, users will need to complete their purchase before the store’s Black Friday deals come to an end on December 2.

As for hardware deals, PlayStation has officially revealed the full line-up of discounts available at PlayStation Direct for Black Friday 2024, which runs from November 22 through December 2. There’s a variety of hardware deals, accessories discounts, and even 60% off select physical games. For those looking to dive into the world of virtual reality, now has never been a better time, as Sony’s Black Friday deals include a massive $250 off of its PS VR2 bundle, which includes Horizon Call of the Mountain. Fans can also save $75 on select PlayStation 5 consoles, but don’t expect to find any deals on the in-demand PlayStation 5 Pro, which was released earlier this month.

PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition

The Sony PlayStation 5’s slim console upgrade offers the same functionality as the launch unit but throws in increased storage (1TB), an additional front USB-C port, and a much more compact frame, making for an ideal console purchase for users still on the fence.

Priced $50 more than its digital edition, the disc edition already trades at a $50 discount over MSRP and comes with a Dualsense controller, an HDMI 2.1 cable, an AC power cable, and documentation as part of the package, making for a complete package for gamers looking to hook one up to a monitor or TV out of the box.
