Black Friday is one of the biggest sales events where retailers offer the lowest prices possible. Last year, there were many brands offering gaming consoles at unbeatable discounts. Whether you are a gamer or looking to buy a console as a gift, there are many new consoles that support advanced games and keep you amused for hours. Check out the list below of the best anticipated Black Friday gaming console deals.
20 gaming consoles likely to have Black Friday discounts
PlayStation 5
Finding a PlayStation 5 in stock is a challenge, and any deals on the PS5 during the Black Friday sales will make it virtually impossible to buy. However, one way in which you can purchase this gaming console is by checking update lists, getting onto subscription lists, and looking for coupon codes from shops like Amazon or GameStop.
PlayStation 4 Slim 1 TB Console
Though the PlayStation 5 is here, the popularity of the PlayStation 4 has not reduced. Also, since the supply of PlayStation 5 is erratic and there may not be any major discounts, buying PlayStation 4 can still save you a few dollars. This Black Friday, you can expect to get incredible deals from major online retailers on PlayStation 4.
PlayStation 4 Pro
Since the release of PlayStation 5, the price of PlayStation 4 Pro has significantly reduced, and there are likely to be many deals for Black Friday. Check the deals page of major online retailers regularly so that you do not miss out on any deals.
Xbox series X
Last year, there were no significant discounts on Xbox series X, one of the year’s hottest products. Though it is unlikely to get great deals on consoles even this year, you might get a bundle offer deal on new consoles paired with games and accessories. The Xbox series X is currently one of the most powerful gaming consoles in the market and is available for $500.
Xbox series S
Currently priced at $289.99 on Amazon, the Xbox series S console is a good deal for those who do not want to spend $500 on a game console. Microsoft provides another way to buy consoles by signing up for a 24-month subscription to Xbox All Access, priced at $24.99 a month. With this, you will get a Series S console plus the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Xbox One S
If you are looking for an entry-level console, Microsoft’s Xbox One S is a go-to option. During the Black Friday sales, the Xbox One S is expected to be available at the lowest price. There might be other deals for Xbox One S bundles too.
Nintendo Switch Bundle with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
The Nintendo Switch is currently scarce, and there will be fewer standard Switch console deals in the Black Friday sales. Last year, the Nintendo Switch Bundle was available for $299.99 at major online retailers. This year, the deal is expected to be the same or better. So be sure to keep an eye out and get your hands on the Nintendo Switch Bundle before it is gone!
Nintendo Switch OLED
The Nintendo Switch OLED was released in fall 2021, and it is unlikely to be heavily discounted for Black Friday. The white version is currently available for $349 at Amazon and Best Buy. For now, it is a good deal as it may soon run out of stock.
Nintendo Switch Lite
Originally priced at $199.99, the Nintendo Switch Lite is likely to be available at a discounted price for Black Friday sales. In case you are paying more than this, make sure you are getting additional extras such as games or accessories.
Steam Deck
Valve’s Steam Deck is currently priced at $399 and comes with 64GB of eMMC storage. If you want a bigger hard drive, you can get a 256 GB SSD or 512 GB SSD for $529 and $649, respectively. Expect to see some good discounts for the Black Friday sale.
To avail of the best deals, you don’t have to wait till November 25, as most retailers have already started rolling out discounts for gaming consoles. Watch out for great deals at Gamestop, Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Target, and other shops.
