Sony cuts $100 off PS5 consoles for Black Friday — big discounts across the lineup
Sony is offering a major Black Friday discount across the PlayStation 5 family: $100 off each model. That brings the PS5 Digital Edition to $399, the standard PS5 to $449 and the new PS5 Pro to $649 — making now a strong time to buy or upgrade.
The PS5 remains one of the most capable gaming consoles available, delivering fast load times, smooth frame rates and crisp visuals thanks to its custom AMD Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2 GPU. The main hardware difference between the Digital and standard models is the inclusion of a disc drive on the standard PS5.
Notable accessory deals
- DualSense wireless controller: $55 (multiple colors) — a solid discount for a core accessory.
- DualSense Edge: $169 — Sony’s premium, customizable controller with replaceable modules.
- PlayStation Portal: $179 — portable Remote Player for streaming PS5 games over your network.
Who should buy now?
If you’ve been waiting for a price drop, these Black Friday cuts make the standard PS5 and the Digital Edition particularly attractive for new buyers and those upgrading from older consoles. The PS5 Pro deal is notable too — it provides higher performance and enhanced ray tracing for players seeking top‑tier graphics.
Considerations before you buy
- Check retailer availability (Sony, Amazon, Walmart and others) — stock can move quickly during Black Friday.
- Think about whether you need a disc drive (standard PS5) or prefer an all‑digital library (Digital Edition).
- Compare bundle offers that include games or subscriptions — sometimes bundles offer better overall value than standalone discounts.
