Best Black Friday console deals
To play a video game, you must first have a system to play it on. Here are the best Black Friday deals on PS5, Switch, and Xbox consoles and bundles.
-
PS5 Slim Digital Edition Fortnite Bundle: $375 at Amazon (was $450). This digital edition of Sony's PlayStation 5 console has a slimmer build than launch models and eschews a disc drive, but comes with a DualSense controller, 1,000 V-Bucks, and a few Fortnite cosmetics.
-
PS5 Slim Disc Edition Fortnite Bundle: $425 at Amazon (was $500). This slim version of Sony's PlayStation 5 console has a disc drive for playing physical games and comes with a DualSense controller, 1,000 V-Bucks, and a handful of Fortnite cosmetics.
-
Nintendo Switch OLED with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: $275 at Target (was $350). If you don't yet have a Nintendo Switch, this is the deal to get, giving you the console's upgraded version, plus one of its most popular games, for less than $300.
-
Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: $225 at Best Buy (was $300). This Nintendo Switch is a little less pretty to look at than the OLED model, but that won't matter if you mostly play on your TV. It runs games just as well and comes with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
-
Microsoft Xbox Series S 512GB: $250 at Target (was $300). This entry-level Xbox allows players access to the Xbox library and ecosystem, albeit with a few performance compromises. Comes with an Xbox Core Wireless Gaming Controller.
-
Microsoft Xbox Series X 1TB: $400 at Best Buy (was $450). Microsoft's top-of-the-line Xbox, the Xbox Series X can play the console's entire library at maximum fidelity. Comes with an Xbox Core Wireless Gaming Controller.
-
Meta Quest 3S: $300 at Amazon with free $75 gift card. While Meta's freshly released budget revamp of the Meta Quest 3 isn't exactly on sale at the moment, you can snag it in a bundle with Batman: Arkham Shadow and a $75 Amazon gift card (with code QUEST75 at checkout) if you act fast.
-
PlayStation VR2: $350 at Amazon (was $550). This massive deal is so large that Amazon's website can't actually display it properly. Right now, you can get Sony's second VR headset for $250 off its launch price, which will grant PS5 owners access to Sony's PSVR 2 library (though oddly enough, not PSVR 1 titles) and PC owners a new way to play their SteamVR games. This isn't exactly a console in the traditional sense, as it's not standalone— you'll need either a PS5 or a PC to use it.
Best Black Friday game controller deals
Even if you've already got a console, you always need more controllers.
-
PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller: $54 at Amazon (was $75). PS5 controllers can be a bit more finicky to connect to other devices than Xbox controllers, but have improved greatly in this regard over the years, and come with plenty of extra haptics that might justify their higher price tag to some gamers.
-
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller: $50 at Best Buy (was $70). Nintendo's official Pro controller is rarely on sale, and offers an official way to get a more traditional gamepad layout on the Nintendo Switch, complete with motion controls.
-
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons (Pair): $60 at Target (was $80). Everyone always needs additional Joy-Cons. Your Switch comes with two by default, but having more makes it easier to swap in new Joy-Con so you can keep playing if the battery dies. Alternatively, you can offer your extras to buddies for multiplayer play.
-
Hori Split Pad Pro for Nintendo Switch: $42.49 at Best Buy (was $50). The Hori Split Pad Pro sometimes feels like a downright necessary upgrade for playing the Switch in portable mode, making it far more comfortable to hold over extended periods.
-
CRKD Nitro Deck+ for Nintendo Switch: $50 at Amazon (was $70). This alternate Joy-Con replacement acts as a full external shell for the Nintendo Switch, essentially giving it a much more Steam Deck style look and feel.
-
8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller: $48 at Amazon (was $70). This is a reliable third-party alternative t
