Even though the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S have been out for a year, getting your hands on them is no easier, know the best games deals in the Black Friday Sale 2021
Because supply chain concerns have continued to affect the production of all consoles, including the new Nintendo Switch OLED and the ever-popular original and Lite versions, the console package offers that you’d expect to see during Black Friday aren’t available this year.
Black Friday Sale 2021: Best Deals On Games, Consoles And Where To Buy
Deathloop and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
Recent titles like Deathloop and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy have the finest gaming prices across the board. Deathloop, a PlayStation 5 exclusive, is $30 off at a variety of shops, and Guardians, a multiplatform game, is $30 off on both the Xbox and PlayStation. Given how fresh they are, how fantastic they are, and the lack of packages for the new consoles, $30 off either of these titles is likely the best price you’ll find this week.
Nintendo Switch Black Friday Deals
Nintendo games are rarely on sale, but you’ll find a number of them this week at various retailers. Best Buy’s main Nintendo Black Friday page, which contains links at the top of the page to multiple pages that filter out based on price point, is an excellent location to look for deals on titles like Paper Mario: The Origami King, Super Mario Maker 2, and others.
Discounts on Switch games at GameStop can reach 60 percent, but don’t anticipate that on most titles. Also, when looking for bargains on their site, be sure to check the “New” box under Condition to avoid seeing “pre-owned” games that are only a few dollars less than a brand new one.
PlayStation Black Friday Deals
Target is offering up to 60% off PS5 games, especially on third-party titles from last year, such as Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion. From 2021 onwards, most titles will be $20 off, including It Takes Two, Returnal, MLB The Show 21, and the fantastic new Ratchet and Clank game.
Best Buy divides their choices into three categories: new releases, games under $20, and games under $9.99—the latter is effectively the PlayStation Hits collection from the PS4 period, all of which are playable on the PlayStation 5, if you haven’t tried Bloodborne or God of War yet.
Xbox Black Friday Deals
When it comes to the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, most retailers will provide discounts comparable to what you’ll find with the PlayStation 4 and 5. From 2020 or early, Walmart will offer dramatic price reductions on some popular sports titles and games. Gears 5 and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice are two older Xbox One titles that can be found for $10 and are playable on both the Xbox Series X and S.
Target has the same basic deals, which is unsurprising. If you didn’t notice, these stores keep track on each other and aim to maintain pricing parity, especially on Black Friday. So expect discounts ranging from 20% to 60% on titles for both the Xbox One and the Xbox Series X|S.
