I have been writing about games for more than three decades and we've never had it so good. The PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro are the pinnacle of home consoles and, when matched with one of the best TVs, they are capable of gaming experiences we could only have dreamed of back then.
The only problem is that gaming's not exactly a cheap hobby these days. Thankfully, that's where Black Friday and Cyber Monday come in. Whether you're looking for a new PS5, a game or an accessory for your existing console, you can currently get them all with big discounts.
That's why I've been scouring UK retailers to find the very best gaming deals, which you can check out below. The T3 team will also be updating this round-up regularly with their own recommended products from PlayStation or third-parties. So have a gander at the biggest bargains and come back often to see what other offers we've found.

Cyberpunk and its excellent DLC
Treat your ears
Arguably the best game of 2024
It's not often that you get a Miyamoto /. Nintendo-quality platformer on a rival console, but Astro Bot is undoubtedly exactly that. It is easily the best platform game on the PS5 and arguable the best game on the console this year, full stop. So it's a must with 20% off.
The darling buds of November
While many gamers prefer over-ear headphones, Sony also makes its own dedicated wireless earbuds for use with the PlayStation 5. The PlayStation Pulse Explore buds feature up to 5 hours of battery life, with a further 10 in the charging case. And you get 19% off the usual price for Black Friday.
Taking back control
As well as the controllers we recommend above, the Victrix Pro BFG controller is highly regarded and also on offer right now. Game.co.uk has it in stock for just £130 – almost £50 off the usual price..
Racing to the finish line
Although the 2024 Formula One season is coming to an end, you can keep the action flowing with the official game. F1 2024 is now less than half price on Amazon and is constantly being added to with new content and challenges.
A deal to drive you crazy
Driving games are always more fun when played with a wheel and pedals, and the much-loved Logitech G29 Driving Force pair are available with a decent discount on Argos. You can get £50 off the PlayStation-compatible accessory bundle.
When is FIFA not FIFA?
If you haven't taken the plunge already, now's the best time to get involved in EA Sports FC 25 – Ultimate Team is hotting up, with much better cards hitting the games, while the huge discount on offer here takes a massive 40% off the price.
Who needs a PlayStation Portal?
While the PlayStation Portal is readily available these days, sadly it's not part of the Black Friday sales – you'll still have to pay full whack for one. However, there is a cheaper alternative that does have a big discount right now. The Backbone One PlayStation Edition effectively changes your own smartphone into a PS Portal, as long as it has a USB-C port (ie. iPhone 15 and above or most modern Android phones).
Houston, we have a great headset deal
Sony's own Inzone gaming headsets aren't specifically designed for PS5 but are an ideal match. They are also high-end headphones, with noise cancelling and NASA controller stile looks. The Sony Inzone H9 is at the top of the tree too, which is great with 21% off.
Time to upgrade your TV to the best
LG is renowned for making TVs considered among the best OLEDs you can buy, and the LG OLED B4 is an ideal upgrade for a gamer. That's why it's an excellent choice this Black Friday, especially with this very tempting offer.
Solving HMDI woes
If you want to use your PS5 or PS5 Pro at its best (ie. in 4K 120Hz) but have limited HDMI ports on your TV, you might want to get yourself a HDMI 2.1 switcher. Capable of passing through up to 8K 60Hz visuals, plus Dolby Atmos sound, the Llano HDMI 2.1 Switch allows you to connect four compatible devices to just the one TV port.
Beauty is in the eyes of the holder
The DualSense Chroma Pearl is arguably the best-looking PS5 controller available today. It's also flying off shelves with its Black Friday price, and has sold out in a fair few places. Very still has it in stock though, so be quick if you fancy bejazzling your setup.
A Stellar offer
Stellar Blade is one of the best PS5 exclusives to have released this year and PS5 Pro owners are in for an even bigger treat – extra graphics modes having been added to give the action-adventure an even smoother ride. It's certainly a great deal with £25 off right now. Just make sure you have a disc drive if you want to make use of this deal on the disc version.
Get back to your game faster
There are plenty of DualSense charging docks on the market, but this one by Ovio is capable of recharging your controllers faster than most. It uses the USB-C connection to feed more power to the unit (or a dual USB-A cable if you don't have the spare ports). This, claims the manufacturer, allows you to charge a controller in just two hours.
Can you feel the pulse
Sony followed up its first official PlayStation 5 headset with this – the Pulse Elite – which introduced a more comfortable fit and ultra low latency. It's got a great deal on now, with £25 off the price.
Is there a deal on the PlayStation Portal?
Many have asked me if there are any Black Friday deals on the PlayStation Portal, and most of the time I'd say "no". However, if you're willing to call a bit over a quid off a deal, then I suppose I have found one. The best news is that it's in stock and available.
For power PlayStation users
As well as its own best-in-class SSD cards, WD_Black also makes versions officially approved by PlayStation – and that includes a truly mammoth 8TB edition. The WD_Black SN850P has everything you need for great operation with a PS5 or PS5 Pro – and the 8TB is quadruple the size of the internal SSD in the Pro (let alone the original PlayStation 5).
