Black Friday is never not good for gaming deals, and we’re thinking that this year is going to be par for the course (perhaps even better if we see a lot of restocks on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X?).
But even if you end up not being able to score a next-gen console this time around because of bots and supply chain scaries, there are still plenty of gaming deals to be excited about.
If last year is any indication, expect to see a lot of individual games on sale, console bundles (there were a bunch of great Switch deals in 2020), and accessories for both consoles and PC. As for those next-gen consoles, we’ll be keeping an eye out and making sure you have the most updated information on restocks.
Below, our favorite Black Friday gaming deals so far.
