Early Black Friday deals are upon us. Read on for a peek at the best early Black Friday gaming deals of the year, no matter what console you use.
Best gaming deals for Black Friday 2023:
Black Friday is always a wonderful time for gamers. Console bundles, massive game discounts, extra perks with your purchases — the retail world really takes care of us during the holiday shopping season.
And this year isn’t going to be any different. In fact, it may even be better, because the supply chain issues that plagued new-gen console production for the past few years are seemingly over (knock on wood). Yes, that means if you want a PlayStation 5, you can actually get one now. We never thought we’d see the day.
The best handheld gaming consoles of 2023
As we do every year, we’ve started rounding up all the best deals that you can get ahead of Black Friday, from individual games to accessories, and everything in between.
Just make sure to keep checking back occasionally, because we’ll be updating this page with new deals as they come in throughout the big shopping event.
PlayStation deals
Why we like it
The original Resident Evil 4 is one of the most beloved games in the RE series, and Capcom’s latest remake unquestionably does it justice. In fact, it might even be better than the original. Get one of the best games of 2023 on sale ahead of Black Friday for $21 off the usual price, and enjoy RE4 in all of its survival horror glory.

13 years later, Alan Wake II is finally here — and it’s a masterpiece. The urge to jump right into one of 2023’s best titles may be strong, but we highly recommend checking out the game that started it all, especially now that it’s gotten a remaster. Alan Wake Remastered is on sale for just one more day at just $9.89 (that’s $20.10 off), so grab your copy while you still can.

Why we like it
Nintendo’s go-to holiday bundle gets you a standard (non-OLED) Switch, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership (you’d spend almost $370 if you bought each piece separately). The bundle went live two months earlier than usual this year, and it’s still in stock at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Walmart, and in the My Nintendo Store. That will probably change as we get closer to the holiday season, so consider yourself warned.

The first-generation Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is the comfiest gaming headset we’ve tested: With FlowKnit memory foam ear cushions and a padded headband, you can wear it for hours at a time without getting a headache. It comes equipped with immersive THX Spatial Audio, intuitive on-ear controls, and a crystal-clear mic, and it works with PlayStation and Nintendo Switch consoles in addition to PCs.
