The best Black Friday PS5 deals include bundles with popular games.
Playstation/Insider
PS5 bundles are on sale today at multiple retailers as part of Black Friday 2023. These are the best Black Friday PS5 deals we’ve seen since the console launched in 2020, and the discounts even include the newly released slim PlayStation 5 model.
Discounted PS5 bundles cost $500 and include the disc-drive version of the console and a digital copy of either Call of Duty Modern Warfare III or Spider-Man 2 for $60 off. The disc-drive PS5 is usually $500 on its own and games typically cost $70, so this Black Friday PS5 bundle essentially gives you a game for free and an extra $10 discount. We’re also seeing deals on PS5 accessories, like $20 off the DualSense controller.
We expect these Black Friday PS5 deals to last through today, November 24, and could extend to Cyber Monday on November 27. However, discounts like this tend to sell out, so we recommend snagging them while they’re still in stock. For more savings across all product categories, check out our Black Friday deals hub.

PS5 Black Friday FAQs
What’s different between the PS5 Slim and the original PS5?
The PS5 slim has 30% less volume than the original and the internal solid state drive has been upgraded from 825GB to a full 1TB of storage. The standard PS5 slim also features a removable 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive.
Sony says the new slim PS5 model will eventually replace the original, but in terms of in-game performance they’re identical. The standard PS5 slim costs the same as the original PS5 at $500; the PS5 slim digital edition will cost $450, which is $50 more than the original digital-edition PS5.
In another small difference, the slim PS5 doesn’t come with a vertical stand, though it can stand vertically without one. Sony’s included stand for the original PS5 works both vertically and horizontally. A separate slim PS5 vertical stand is available for $30.
How is the PS5 Digital Edition different from the standard PS5?
The digital-edition PS5 has no disc drive, meaning you’ll need to purchase games digitally from the PlayStation store and download them to play. The original digital-edition PS5 costs $400, so it’s $100 cheaper than the standard PS5.
However, a new digital-edition PS5 slim will allow gamers to purchase a separate disc drive attachment if they decide they want the 4K Blu-ray drive in the future. At $450, this redesigned model will cost slightly more than the original digital-edition PS5, but it’s not yet available at retailers. The add-on PS5 4K Blu-ray drive will cost $80.
