Black Friday 2025 is now official in the UK, although it's nearly been a month-long event if we're being honest. But it looks like some deals have been waiting until Black Friday proper to get going. So I thought this is the best time to go over some of the best deals I've come across so far mixed in with some awesome deals that have gone live today.

Graphics cards, Gaming PCs, Gaming Laptops, PS5s, Xboxs, Gaming Monitors and a cracking deal on three months of Audible. Oh and don't forget swinging by the Disney Store for some stocking fillers. It's actually really hard to write about all of this whilst leaving my bank account alone, so I hope you all appriciate the sacrifices I make to save you money this Black Friday. Thanks in advance.

The Top 10 UK Black Friday Deals

So here's some of the highlights, which had to be a top 10 because it sounds so much cooler. Audiable Premium is currently having a cheeky three month trial for 99p for Amazon Prime members right now and includes a free £10 Audible voucher. The best part of this deal is it's commitment free, just cancel after three months if you don't fancy it, nice and simple.

There's a couple of brilliant gaming monitors available right now too, with the beast that is the Alienware 32-inch 4K AQ-OLED Gaming Monitor. It's curved too, and for £262.79 off, i'd be happy paying £646.21 for this gorgeous 240Hz 0.03ms panel every day of the week.

I'm currently running a 1440p MSI ultrawide and it's a cracking bit of kit, but it would be nice to have an OLED panel and a higher refresh rate to hit above 144 FPS on Fortnite. I'd happily slap the MSI 34-inch MPG 341CQPX underneath my existing one for those accurate and deep colours and to smash 240 FPS in anything I'd like.

If you don't have anything to run through either of these monitors yet, EE has the best price on a PS5 Digital Edition for £285, a massive £144.99 off the usual £429.99 price tag and includes FC 26. You can also pick up a PlayStation Portal to play you PS5 games and PS+ Premium games remotely for £175, down from £199. Finally, you can also grab a DualSense Edge for 25% off, down to £147.99 from £198.

If you're wanting a gaming PC setup instead, there's a great deal on a RTX 5080 16GB build on Amazon for £1,999. It's backed up by a more than capable Intel Core i9-12900KF and 32GB DDR5 RAM with a 1TB SSD to gewt a good chunk of your gaming catalogue on. It's not a typical discounted Black Friday deal, but the value for money here is fantastic for a 4K-Capable build.

Need more convincing? Well the best deal on a RTX 5080 right now is the MSI 16GB Inspire 3X OC for £939, knocked down from £999.99. So when you add up this prebuilt gaming PC then chuck in a few extra quid for the no hassle prebuild option and you're there.

If you fancy hopping on the Game Pass train and grabbing an Xbox, the Series X has been knocked down to £469.99, which also has a disc drive so you have the best of both worlds. That's £30 cheaper than the usual £499.99 price point, and Elite V2 controllers are also down to £112.99, £57 off RRP and arguably the best controller to hit gaming. If you're looking for a cheaper Xbox option, i've found even more deals below.

More Xbox Black Friday Deals

Roughly £12.99 for Game Pass Ultimate? Yes please! Considering it's just gone up to a lofty £22.99 per month, this is a cracking Black Friday deal and stackable. Yep, feel free to buy multiple and sort yourself out for a few months!

If you fancy a bit more colour on your controller, there's plenty of Black Friday deals on Velocity Green, Pulse Red, Deep Pink and the Storm Breaker Special Edition. There's a cheaper option for Elite Controller with the £88 Series 2 Core in white. It still has loads of features, but it's a nice middle ground price wise for a premium controller option.

If you're planning on being all digital with your games, save yourself some money and just grab the digital edition of the Xbox Series X for £419.99, knocked down from £449.99. Not bothered about 4K resolutions and higher framerates? Series S is down to £329.99, £20 off from £349.99, but just bear in mind that some Xbox games are Series X games only.

EE Has The Best PS5 Black Friday Deals This Year

Looking for a decent deal on a PlayStation 5? Well the online EE Store has the best deal on a PS5 overall right now, and there's plenty more where that came from. There's a ridiculous amount of console, PSVR2, PS Portal, DualSense and accessory deal in their Early Black Friday offers, so you might aswell get yourself sorted right now. If you'd sooner pay monthly, there's plenty of discounted deals live right now too.

Dell UK Black Friday Deals

You heard it right, Alienware and Dell UK just launched their Black Friday deals in the UK and the brand tax is gone. The amount of ridiculous deals on display right now is baffling, and I'm here for it (I've warned my bank account).
There's something for everyone here, from someone wanting a cheeky workhorse for their work from home job so absolute behemoths that can handle ray tracing and are loaded with the latest and greatest Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards.

Overclockers UK Black Friday Deals

It seems that Black Friday has officially started early for Overclockers UK, as you can't move for epic deals on all things PC gaming. From ridiculous Radeon and NVidia-powered prebuilt gaming PC and Graphics Card discounts to every kind of monitor you'll possibly want to choose from, there's a deal to be had for everyone here.

Lenovo Black Friday Sale

Lenovo has kicked off it's Black Friday sale, just make sure to double check that the promo code "MEGADEAL" in your basket before checking out, although when doing this myself the code automatically applied. It focuses mostly on laptops for all use cases, from gaming, to the efficient ThinkPads you've probbaly used in an office job before now and 2-in-1 efforts that are great for digital artwork and much more. There's also some monitors on offer, again there's everyday use cases and gaming covered.

Disney Store UK Black Friday Sale

The house of mouse has kicked off its Black Friday sale with up to 30% off toys, soft toys, clothing, pajamas and even adult loungewear. Of course there's some Christmas goodies thrown in for good measure, and most importantly, a shopping bag. That's right people, this bag for life bargain is going to blow your mind!

Best MicroSD Express Switch 2 Black Friday Deals

It looks like a great time to upgrade that Nintendo Switch 2 256GB internal storage with a MicroSD Express card this Black Friday, and deals have already surfaced. Express MicroSDs are the new standard for Nintendo Switch 2, with standard MicroSD cards not working, but this also bring faster read/write speeds and meets the demands of games amde specifically for Nintendo Switch 2.

Audible's Black Friday deal has already kicked off, and it's one of the best I've seen in quite a while. Starting now and running through December 1 (Cyber Monday), new and returning Audible subscribers can sign up for three months of Audible Premium Plus for just $0.99 per month. Even better, you also get a bonus $20 in Audible credit that you can use on any audibook of your choice. Finally, as part of the Premium Plus subscription, you also get a free audiobook of your choice every month, and you get to keep it indefinitely even after your subscription expires.

Since this is an Amazon Prime exclusive deal, you'll need to be logged into your Prime account to see this promotion. As long as you're not a current subscriber, you should be eligible. After the three months is up, your subscription will convert to the standard $14.95/mo, so make sure to cancel beforehand if you don't want to continue with the service. I haven't confirmed this, but you could potentially use your bonus Audible credit to get one more free month of Premium Plus.

Amazon-owned retailer Woot is stepping into the Black Friday fun with what it's calling a "Video Game Mega Sale!" As part of the deal, in addition to individual discounts on video games and accessories, shoppers can get an extra 20% off by buying through the Woot app for iOS and Android, for a total of up to $40 off.

This bonus 20% offer only lasts through the rest of Black Friday today, November 28. We've gathered a few of our favorites below covered under the offer - including a pair of Switch 2 Joy-Cons for just $72, Donkey Kong Bananza down to $55.20, and Tears of the Kingdom for Switch for $37.59.

Woot Video Game Mega Sale

Woot notes that the full discount will automatically appear on the final checkout screen when buying through the app. To take advantage of this bonus offer, here are some steps to follow:

Woot's sale is but one of many featuring great video game deals right now. For the latest discounts available for each platform, check out our individual breakdowns of the PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch Black Friday sales to see other offers we've discovered during the Black Friday sale. We've even got an overall breakdown of the best video game deals available during the sale so you can see some of our top picks.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been flying off shelves since it launched earlier this year, and ahead of its first Holiday season, those holding out on buying one will no doubt have an eye on potential discounts.

On that note, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that the Switch 2 isn't seeing any drastic discounts in the Nintendo Black Friday sale, but on the positive side, retailers appear to be getting creative with bundles.

From extra games, to sneaking in accessories like a Pro Controller, there are plenty of options - although we don't expect them to last long.

So, while the system hasn't budged from its $449.99 MSRP during Black Friday (I must not have had my fingers crossed hard enough!), there are perhaps more choices than ever heading into the holiday season.

Nintendo currently offers two bundles of its own, for example, with one including Mario Kart World and another offering Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Both of these are, at least in my opinion, rather good bundle deals, and I'd be very surprised if both aren't selling like hotcakes given the popularity of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the original Nintendo Switch, and the timeless popularity of Pokémon.

The Mario Kart bundle, at $499, includes the console and Mario Kart World, at a $30 discount compared to buying each individually. While the Pokémon bundle is a similar deal, just a $20 saving instead, as the base game isn't as pricey as Mario Kart.

Those are two great games to kickstart your Switch 2 collection, and these are the best possible Switch 2 Black Friday deals we're getting without leaning too much on third-party retailers.

If you're waiting on something else, I wouldn't bother risking these going out of stock between now and December, because it's likely to be a hot item for the Christmas period.

We’re also already starting to see some retailers throw even more into things - although not without driving up the cost. Best Buy has a bundle including both Pokémon and Mario Kart, or even bundles that include microSD Express cards, Donkey Kong Bananza, or even The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Many also include cases, screen protectors, or even the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, and we’re still a few days away from the ‘real’ Black Friday window. With that in mind, it might be worth holding out a few days to see if any of these bundles see price drops, or if fresh bundles arrive.

Black Friday deals are more confusing than ever these days. Most retailers spend November teasing limited-time offers, but the reality is that the deepest discounts rarely arrive until about a week before what I like to call “Black Friday proper.”

Having tracked Nintendo sales for years, one thing is clear: once a Switch deal hits, it usually sticks for the rest of the sale. That means the prices you see now on consoles, games, and accessories are very likely the ones that’ll hold through to December. If you’ve been holding out for a solid deal, there’s no need to wait any longer.

These offers are reliable, worthwhile, and unlikely to get any better. Grab the games and hardware you’ve had your eye on, there’s no risk of Black Friday regret, only the satisfaction of finally getting exactly what you wanted at a price that makes sense.

HP just unloaded an excellent deal on one of the most powerful gaming laptops currently available. The OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 gaming laptop starts at just $1,899.99 with free shipping after a $1,400 off instant discount. This is one of few RTX 5080 equipped laptops I've seen so far priced under $2,000. The RTX 5080 is an absolute monster of a mobile GPU that surpasses the previous generation's top performer, the RTX 4090.

Hollow Knight: Silksong developer Team Cherry has confirmed it’s working on DLC — but it doesn’t know when it will come out.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Team Cherry co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen said that while the developers do not plan to take “an excessive amount of time” building this new content for Silksong, “we still are pursuing the same development philosophy, which sometimes can expand our timeframe.”

It took seven years for Silksong to come out, so who knows when this mystery DLC will be released? But Team Cherry did tease it will feature the Steel Assassin, a character shown in a prior trailer but who has yet to show up in Silksong itself.

Here’s the relevant exchange with Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier:

Do you want to do a mix of smaller updates like Lifeblood, or are you thinking bigger stuff like Godmaster and Grimm Troupe? Is there a cadence you have in mind?

Gibson: In simple terms yes, we’d be thinking about different things arriving at different scales. That might mean larger things like Godmaster. Certainly, we’ve noticed that people would like an expansion in that way, being able to enter pantheon spaces and refight bosses. And there is already a huge number of them.

Pellen: We were talking about the next project in general. We’re not thinking about the size. We just started making new stuff and working on bits and pieces. We’re still in this world, thinking about stuff to present to people.

Gibson: It is interesting working out how you expand an already huge game, to make sure you don’t completely overwhelm new players, because obviously new players will be experiencing the new stuff, very naturally integrated. It’ll just seem like the base experience. Some of that might mean finding ways to hide away the access, because otherwise potentially by the end of the our expansions and developments it would just be gargantuan.

Silksong remains one of the most-played games on Steam following its huge September 4 release. Here are some essential guides for your journey upwards: the Silksong Interactive Map, how to grind for Rosary Beads, our ever-expanding Walkthrough with boss videos and guides, how to get your first life bar upgrade (first four mask shards), and a great guide to the Simple Keys and the doors they open.

If you're hunting for the best offers this week, we're actively rounding up the strongest Black Friday deals on video games, tech, and more. You can find all our top picks and price drops in our full Black Friday hub, or check out our relevant pages for PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox deals.

We're in the endgame now for Black Friday deals, and with Thanksgiving over, our tummies filled, and the sale weekend proper underway. It's likely all the deals that are now available are what we are ultimately getting.

So here's how this is going to work: I'm going to run through the best Black Friday deals you can shop for over the Black Friday sale weekend, for PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox.

These are the standouts, all handpicked, and the ones actually worth your time this Black Friday. Every single pick has hit its lowest price of the year, so ignoring them would be a bit daft.

There's a solid spread of offers here, and I'm keeping it lean by sticking to the stuff that genuinely earns its place. Let's get into it and see what gamers can actually score this Black Friday.

Best PlayStation Deals

PlayStation is having a fairly good Black Friday so far. Battlefield 6 is down to $35 at Amazon, a full 50% off, while Borderlands 4 is also $35, back in stock and ready to fly off those digital shelves.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has also dropped to $30 at Walmart and Amazon, making it another of the best bargains in the end of year sales. I'd snap each of games up ASAP to avoid Black Friday FOMO, as deals like these tend to go before the sale weekend is up.

Other big 2025 releases like Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and Assassin's Creed Shadows are also hitting $30, so there’s no shortage of must-grab titles.

PlayStation hardware deals are solid too, with the NBA 2K26 bundle at $449, free game included, and the PS5 Pro down to $649, likely the best price we’ll see for the world’s most powerful console anytime soon.

Best Nintendo Deals

Nintendo’s Black Friday is delivering better deals than expected, but the real standout is the Switch 2. The Mario Kart 8 Bundle saves you $30 compared to buying the items separately, and stock won’t last, Nintendo has officially said once it’s gone, it’s gone. If you’ve been holding off on a Switch 2, now is not the time to wait, especially with holiday demand set to skyrocket.

For Switch 2 owners, the Samsung 512GB microSD Express memory card is a no-brainer at $74.99, down from $99.99 at Amazon, the best storage upgrade you can get at the lowest price of the year.

Other deals are nice, like Final Fantasy 1-6 Pixel Collection for $39.99, Sonic X Shadow Generations for $15, Super Mario Odyssey for $29.99, and Zelda amiibo for $9.99, but the bundle and storage are the ones that really matter this Black Friday.

Best Xbox Deals

Xbox deals are a bit patchy this year, and there aren’t any standout console discounts. That said, there are still solid bargains if you know where to look. Just like PlayStation, the strongest deals are absolutely on the games, with price matches on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater ($30), Battlefield 6 ($35), and Borderlands 4 ($35) for Xbox.

For Game Pass fans, the best deal right now is the 3-month Game Pass Ultimate at Amazon for $59.99, down from $89.99. It’s the perfect way to dodge recent price hikes and stack some serious value into your membership.

Steam Black Friday Sale

Steam is putting on its very own Black Friday sale for the first time, so it is absolutely worth a brief mention as well. Note that you should always compare the prices with Steam key sellers like Fanatical and Green Man Gaming to ensure you're getting the best deal possible.

There is a fantastic range of games getting discounted at Steam, including 50% off EA Sports FC 26, 15% off Battlefield 6, a whopping 67% (6 7!) off Risk of Rain 2, 20% off Helldivers 2, 34% off the glorious Blue Prince, and 8% Dead by Daylight.

You can also grab Ghost of Tsushima for 40% off the recommended retail price, a huge 75% off the wonderful Red Dead Redemption 2, and an even bigger 95% on Warhammer: Vermintide 2.

That's not all, either. From now until December 1, 10am PT (1pm ET), you can also save 20% on the Steam Deck LCD 256GV model, that's the original model, not the fancy OLED one, and nominate your favorite games of 2025 in this year's Steam Awards.

You might have already seen my $20 or less roundup, which is still packed with heavy hitters from the last few years and perfect if you want maximum bang for your buck. I also recently covered the best games under $30 right now, sporting Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater as my top pick.

I've also got you covered if you're looking for a more comprehensive roundup of the best video game deals for Black Friday. I'd also highly recommend you check in with my best Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox Black Friday roundups, both of which I'll be updating daily with the best offers over the sale weekend. After that, I will rest. Have a good one!

The official Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals have gone live and, not surprisingly, there are no advertised discounts on the Nintendo Switch 2 console. That means there are really only two ways you'll be able to get one at considerably lower than retail price: buying a used one off a marketplace or getting an import model. AliExpress is offering a Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World console bundle for just $435.87 (normally $500) after you apply a $100 off coupon code "AEUS100" during checkout. It ships free locally from the United States (which means no tariffs and no obnoxiously long wait times).

The listing is for a Hong Kong import. Fortunately, all international Switch 2 consoles are region unlocked, so they be used in the US without any modification. You'll also be able to select English as your default language. This specific model will come with a Hong Kong style plug, but a US adapter is included. Imported consoles do not get a US-based Nintendo warranty. Fortunately, Aliexpress offers a generous 90-day free return window.
