Black Friday is fast approaching on November 28, and leading up to the event, PlayStation has announced its upcoming deals on the PlayStation 5 (PS5) and accessories, which start on November 21.
Sony states these PS5 deals will be available directly on the PlayStation Direct Store and at "participating local retailers," which likely includes stores such as Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.
Earlier this year, Sony raised the price of each PS5 model in the US by $50 due to a "challenging economic environment," which many interpreted as code for the impacts of tariffs. So knocking $100 off the PS5 for Black Friday helps ease the sting a bit.
A reminder that while this sale is for Black Friday, the deals start on Friday, November 21, a whole week before Black Friday on November 28, so you'll have lots of time to take advantage of them. Sony has said its PS5 console sale will be on for a "limited time" but hasn't specified when it will end. You can check out links to the PS5 at various retailers below.

If you're planning to purchase a PS5 this holiday season, Black Friday is definitely the best time to do so. Since the PS5's price was hiked earlier this year, these deals help offset that increase.
