The moment has finally arrived: the time of year to bag deals on everything on your wishlist – whether it’s a new flat-screen TV for Christmas viewing or an activewear set in preparation for your New Year resolutions. Of course, we’re talking about Black Friday.
One area we look forward to every year is gaming. From saving on the latest consoles (the Playstation 5 is discounted by £60 and there’s 20 per cent off the Xbox S) to add-on accessories and games, it’s the best opportunity to give your current set-up an update. Or, if you’re not into gaming yourself but know someone who is, it’s prime time for buying Christmas gifts ahead of December 25. One discount which has caught our eye is on FC25 for PS4 and PS5.
Previously known as FIFA, it’s the 2025-season take on the well-known EA Sports football game. Seeing as it was only released on September 27, it’s rarely included in any sales. When it comes to Black Friday weekend, though, nothing’s off limits, so John Lewis has slashed the RRP.
Like FIFA, FC25 has all the latest players, and career seasons across UEFA, Premier League, Bundesliga, and LALIGA EA SPORTS, as well as a new five-a-side addition, Rush Mode. There’s co-op and competitive play, so you can squad up with your friends to take on strangers, and FC IQ which delivers greater strategic control of your team. And, in signature FIFA style, it has one of the best soundtracks going, including tracks by everyone from Twenty One Pilots to Fontaines D.C and Charli XCX.
If it’s on your shopping hitlist, now’s the time to buy it while stocks last. We’re predicting a sell-out.
