PlayStation Confirms Black Friday 2025 Sale with Major PS5 and Accessory Discounts

PlayStation has set the stage for one of its biggest retail moments of the year. On 18 November 2025, Sony officially announced its Black Friday 2025 sale, confirming that discounts on PS5 consoles, accessories, games and subscriptions will begin on 21 November. The announcement has already pushed a wave of demand across PlayStation retailers and the official PlayStation Store.

PS5 Consoles See Their Biggest Price Drops of the Year

This year’s sale includes significant price cuts on multiple console models. UK and US pricing varies, but early confirmed deals include:

• PS5 1 TB Console reduced by around £90 or US $100 in select regions.
• PS5 Digital Edition discounted by as much as £135 depending on the retailer.
• PS5 Pro receives a rare price cut of around £90 or US $100.
• PS5 bundles include limited-time game add-ons such as Fortnite “Flowering Chaos”.

These discounts are confirmed for participating retailers and direct.playstation.com during the promotional window.

Accessories and Hardware Deals

Alongside consoles, Sony is also discounting a wide range of accessories across all major regions. Confirmed offers include:

• PULSE Elite Headset and PULSE Explore Earbuds discounted in most markets.
• PlayStation Portal Remote Player reduced by around US $20.
• PS VR2 receives its largest discount this year at around US $100 or £90.

These deals are expected to sell out quickly, particularly the headset and VR categories, which now have wider support across the PS5 library.

PlayStation Plus and Digital Game Discounts
