Black Friday gaming deals are already underway, even if the big day is still days away. We’ve been seeing gaming deals crop up all week, with more breaking cover every hour. We’ve seen steep discounts on Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch OLED, and, well, not on the PS5 itself yet, but PS5 SSDs are down to the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

We’ve spun up this live blog to share the best Black Friday deals with you as we spot them, as well as occasional advice and warnings about what you should and shouldn’t impulse buy when it comes to gaming hardware.

If you have a particular platform in mind, we have hubs for the best Black Friday PS5 deals, Xbox Series X Black Friday deals, and Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals. We’ll be updating those consistently over the next few days but for the most up-to-date feed of deals, keep your eyes here on the live blog.

The single, most important piece of advice I'd like to leave you with is that while we are seeing steep discounts on gaming hardware, accessories, and the games themselves, it is easy to get carried away and spend more than you mean to. Make a list of what you think you need, be it new games, more storage space on your console, or a second gamepad to play co-op games, and try to stick to it.

Hi folks! It’s Vic Hood, TRG’s Associate Editor. I’ll be bringing you the best Black Friday gaming deals for the next few hours before handing over to my esteemed colleague Rhys Wood. So let’s get cracking.

If you’re on the hunt for a great PlayStation 5 headset then you’re in luck. We’re already seeing discounts on some of the best PS5 headsets right now, in both the US and UK, at a variety of retailers.

In the US, you can save just over $30 on the PlayStation PULSE 3D Wireless Headset, $20 on the Razer X Kaira, $50 on the Astro Gaming A50, and over $90(!) on the EPOS H3 Hybrid.

In the UK, too, there’s £18 off the PlayStation PULSE 3D Wireless Headset (and £20 off the Midnight Black edition), $70 off the Astro Gaming A50, nearly $30 off the Razer Kaira X, and a whopping £70 off the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+.

While I expect some of these headsets will come down in price closer to the big day on Friday, if you’re wanting a discount on a great PS5 headset then you can’t go wrong with these deals.

US

PlayStation Pulse 3D Wireless Headset: Was $100 now $69 at Amazon
Save $31 -
The impressive Pulse 3D headset has now reached its historic lowest price. It's our pick for the best PS5 headset, too, so you can rest assured of its quality for the budget price.View Deal

ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Gaming Headset: Was $299.99 now $249.99 at Amazon
Save $50 - This is the lowest the ASTRO gaming headset has been. While the price is still pretty high if you can splash out, it's well worth it for the peerless audio and comfort.View Deal

EPOS H3 Hybrid Wired Gaming Headset: Was $179.99 now $87.48 at GameStop
Save $92.51 - This is the lowest price for this headset yet, it's a bargain considering its crystal clear audio. With such an aggressive price we'd recommend looking at it sooner rather than later before the stock is all gone. View Deal

UK

Pulse 3D Wireless Headset: Was £89.99 now £71.99 at Very
Save £18 - Thanks to the latest PS5 update this headset is now a must-buy. This is a good deal to have on such a great headset but it is worth keeping it in mind and waiting to see if it gets lower toward Black Friday. View Deal

PULSE 3D Midnight Black Wireless Headset: Was £91.60 now £69.99 at Amazon
Save 24%
- The Pulse 3D is our number one PS5 headset as, at full price, it's an affordable way of significantly adding 3D audio to your games, so a £20 discount makes it even more appealing. Sony really pushed immersive sound when it revealed the PS5 and, in our experience, it genuinely does enhance games. View Deal

ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Gaming Headset: Was £319.99 now £249.99 at Amazon

Seagate Expansion Card with a 'Don't Miss' Badge beside it

(Image credit: Future/Microsoft)

It can be a real pain having to delete games off of your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, in order to make space for new ones. The Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card makes that less of a problem, letting you expand your Xbox storage without hassle – simply slide it into the back of your console. 

The downside is this handy card is pretty expensive. That’s why I’m relieved to see some discounts on the 1TB version in the run-up to Black Friday. Right now there’s £35 off the Seagate Xbox Expansion Card at Amazon in the UK, bringing the price down to £184.99. In the US, there’s $20 off the Expansion Card, making it just under $200.

That’s still pretty pricey, but I’m hoping we see the price drop further towards the end of this week – especially as we’ve seen it reach £164.99/$189.99 previously. I’ve personally got one of these cards and find the extra 1TB storage it adds to the Xbox Series X’s 1TB means that I rarely have to delete games off my console (unless I go on an Xbox Game Pass downloading spree).

US

Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card | 1TB: Was $220 now $199.99 at Amazon
Save $20 - The Seagate Storage Expansion card for Xbox is a hassle-free, must-have accessory for those who want to increase their console's storage. While we've seen this card drop further in price than this, a $20 discount takes this handy storage device below $200.

Most comfortable gaming chair

The best gaming chairs are often expensive. I’ve been looking at picking one up myself this Black Friday, in hope of a decent discount, because I can’t justify to myself spending a huge amount of cash right now. Thankfully, our Hardware Editor Aleksha McLoughlin has scoured the web to put together a list of the best gaming chairs under $250 for Black Friday

While there’s currently not a huge selection, you can pick up the Respawn 110 Fabric for $212.49, the Razer Enki X for $229.99, or the AutoFull Ergonomic Gamer for $249.99

We expect a wider variety of gaming chairs to be discounted over Black Friday weekend, with some of these prices likely to fall even further. 

Respawn 110 Fabric | was $260 now $212.49 at Amazon
Save $47 - This is the lowest price that we're able to verify on this Fabric variant of the tried and trusted Respawn 110 gaming chair, as this particular model hasn't enjoyed a price drop until now. We rarely see fabric seats under the $250 mark, making this offer well worth considering.
View Deal

Razer Enki X | was $299 now $229.99 at Amazon
Save $69 - The Razer Enki X may have been $4 cheaper once in the past, but considering that was all the way back in March, and it's consistently hovered around $300 since then, we think that now is the perfect time to invest in the Enki X.
View Deal

AutoFull Ergonomic Gamer | was $300 now $249.99 at Amazon
Save $50 - This AutoFull chair features something that we rarely see in models under the $250 mark - a footrest. Combine that with the adaptive ergonomics in the lumbar region and you have a chair that's built for comfort first and foremost.

Black Friday PS5 deals

(Image credit: Future)

Unlike last year, we're seeing a decent number of PS5 consoles and bundles available in the run-up to Black Friday (more so in the US than the UK). While these consoles and bundles aren't seeing a discount, they're definitely worth considering if you're on the hunt for a PlayStation 5 this year.

US

PS5 Digital Horizon Forbidden West Bundle: $449.99 at Amazon

Hey everyone! This is Aleksha McLoughlin, TRG's Hardware Editor here and I'm running the live blog for the next few hours!

Do you like challenging games? Furthermore, do you enjoy deep discounts on exclusive titles? Well, I have one of the most aggressive PS5 game deals for you! That's because Demon's Souls has come crashing down to just $29.99 at Best Buy for a huge $40 saving (over half price!).

It's not just those in the US that can get the bleeding edge remake for a competitive price point. That's because Demon's Souls is also available in the UK for only £34.99 (was £70) at Game, too. If you've never played the original PS3 release, or are looking to jump back into the kingdom of Boletaria for less.

Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma

Are you someone who wants low latency for Esports titles at an equally competitive price? The Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma is currently selling for its historic lowest-ever price point at Amazon. You can get your hands on the latest wired high-tech Xbox controller for just $99.99 (was $150) for a $50 saving. It's a return to a price we've only seen once this year - but it's never been bettered! 

What we like about the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma for Xbox Series X is how adjustable it is. You can customize your layout with reprogrammable buttons and take advantage of hairline trigger stops for less travel time. A cool touch is the mechanical microswitches in the face buttons for that satisfying clickiness. 

Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma | was $150 now $99.99 at Amazon
Save $50; lowest-ever price - This is a return to the cheapest we've ever seen the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma which is one of the more in-demand Xbox Series X controllers on the market right now. If you want adaptability at a great price, then this one is hard to beat.

This iPhone-compatible controller is selling for $74.99 (was $100) for a $25 saving. It's the cheapest price we're able to verify. 

On the other side of the fence, there's the Nacon MG-X Pro which takes heavy inspiration from the Xbox Wireless Controller in approach. It's selling for only $79.99 at Amazon (was $100) and is compatible with Android phones, so we've covered both bases here!

Do you want to make the most out of some of the best fighting games without breaking the bank? If so, you're in luck. The Hori Fighting Commander Octa is down to just $39.99 (was $50) for a $10 saving at Amazon right now in the US. Don't fret if you're based overseas, though, as you can also pick up the fight pad for £39.99 (was £42) at Amazon UK, too. 

What we like the most about this fighting game controller is that you have an eight-way gate by the D-pad making certain 3D titles, such as Tekken 7, a little easier to play with analog movement instead of pure digital. This is the cheapest that we've seen the gamepad in the US and the UK, making now the ideal time to consider stepping up your game in the likes of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.

One of the better Black Friday gaming deals that we've come across is Battlefield 2042 selling at one of the lowest prices on record right now in the US. You can pick up the multiplayer shooter for just $14.99 (was $40) on PS5 and also $14.99 (was $40) on Xbox Series X at Best Buy. 

The game itself offers a ton of value especially at considerably under the $20 mark on Xbox Series X and PS5. There are not only your traditional multiplayer modes, which continue to develop with the game's recent Season 3: Escalation update, but also Portal mode, too. For the low price of entry, you can experience 128-player open warfare scenarios, which can't really be compared to other shooters on the market right now. 

Battlefield 2042 PS5 | was $40 now $14.99 at Best Buy
Save $25 - It's one of the lowest prices that we've seen on the PS5 version of Battlefield 2042, at better than half price. If you were holding out on playing the latest blockbuster shooter from Dice then this hefty discount could be what turns the tide. View Deal

Nintendo Switch OLED review

(Image credit: Future)

Heyo, this is a very sleepy Julian Benson, TRG’s Editor-in-Chief, logging on for the 2am to 10am shift here in the UK. What I may be lacking in energy, I am making up with in deals. I am driven by discounts, succored by savings. That’s not a turn of phrase I’d normally allow on the site, but, as I say, it’s very early in the morning.

I’ll have some fresh deals coming up shortly, but first, a little buying advice. We’re seeing some excellent bundles and discounts on the Nintendo Switch OLED, the upgraded spin on Nintendo’s hybrid console. It’s currently on offer for the lowest price we’ve ever seen it in the UK. And there are some great bundles available, too. 

Released last October and boasting a better screen, improved battery life, and snazzy color scheme, the Nintendo Switch OLED may seem like the default version of the console to buy. But, while we wait for what seems like an inevitable Nintendo Switch Pro (especially with the way recent Switch games are struggling to run on the hardware), our hardware writer Rhys Wood makes an excellent case for buying an original Nintendo Switch.

Essentially, if you plan on playing the console primarily in docked mode, then you will see none of the advantages of the Nintendo Switch OLED’s upgrades, and you’re better off getting the cheaper Nintendo Switch. Just look at the deals alongside each other (and note that the cheaper Nintendo Switches also come bundled with games and Nintendo Switch Online membership):

Nintendo Switch (Neon) + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 3 Months Switch Online: $299.99 at Best Buy
A very familiar Nintendo Switch bundle will return again for this year's Black Friday. It includes the Switch console, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 3-month Switch Online membership.View Deal

Nintendo Switch OLED (Refurbished) | was $350 now $314.99 at Best Buy
Save $35 -  This is one of the cheapest rates on the Nintendo Switch OLED model we've seen in the pre-owned market. If you're okay getting the console secondhand then you're knocking $40 off here.
View Deal

Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + Nintendo Switch Online (3 months): was £328 now £259 at Nintendo Store
It's an even stronger deal in the UK, as the bundle's price comes in at the cost of just the console itself. Essentially, you're getting Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and 3 months of Nintendo Switch Online at no extra cost.View Deal

Nintendo Switch OLED: was £304.99 now £269.99 at Smyths Toys
Save £35 - This is quite frankly the best discount we've seen yet for the Nintendo Switch OLED. While a marginal upgrade over the base model in docked mode, the console shines in portable mode thanks to its crisp, vivid 720p OLED screen. If you really want your games' colors to pop on the screen, then the OLED is the perfect console choice.View Deal

Walmart's selling $10 Nintendo eShop gift cards for $9. At a time where we're seeing $50 knocked off consoles, and games going for half-price, a $1 discount may not seem like much to shout about but when it's money on a gift card, you're looking at a kind of free money. A $10 game bought with a $10 gift card you bought for $9 is creating your own 10% discount on a game of your choosing.

Also, if you're looking to give a gift to the gamers in your life, this way you aren't running the risk of buying them a game they already own, you can give them a gift card and let them buy something for themselves.

Walmart's reduced the $20 and $35 gift cards, too, but the reduction isn't as good as the 10% off on the $10 gift card, so I'd recommend just buying multiple $10 gift cards.

Nintendo eShop $10: was $10 now $9 at Walmart

A $1 reduction may not seem like much, but if you were planning on buying something in the Nintendo eShop then using a reduced gift card is like applying your own discount to a game. View Deal

Xbox Elite Controller Series 2

(Image credit: Future)

There have been some excellent Black Friday Xbox controller deals over the past few weeks, but we're finally starting to see some deep discounts on the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2

The Elite is the highly-customizable pro controller that Microsoft released for the Xbox Series X|S and PC. It's a fantastic gamepad that feels wonderful in the hand and can genuinely improve your game, thanks to its hair triggers and rubberized grip.

Normally setting you back $179.99, you can get an Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 Controller for just $129.99 over at Newegg, so long as you enter the code 'BFFDAY22' at checkout.

While not as good as the Newegg deal in the US, you can pick up an Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 at a discount in the UK, too. Amazon is selling the pro gamepad for £142, down from £159.99.

This is a strange recommendation as it's not actually much of a saving, but it's more for if you're struggling to lay your hands on a PS5.

You may have been eagerly refreshing our PS5 restock page to grab one of the in-short-supply consoles. Currently, to buy one through Amazon and many other stores, you need an invitation.

However, there's a great bundle on AntOnline that will get you a PS5, a copy of God of War Ragnarok, and an extra DualSense controller in blood-like cosmic red. The bundle will set you back $609.98, which is basically what buying the God of War PS5 bundle and a discounted DualSense controller would set you back if bought separately. The advantage of this deal is that you can buy it without waiting on an invitation.

This is an appealing bundle. If I was buying a PS5, this is the game and accessory I'd be wanting to pick up, along with a discounted PS plus subscription.

PS5 + God of War Ragnarok + DualSense controller: was $634.98 now $609.99 at AntOnline
Save $25 -
While not much of a saving, this bundle comes with one of the best games on the PS5 and an extra controller. What you're really paying for here is the chance to skip the queues and the need for an invitation. If you've been waiting on a PS5, here's your chance to pick one up.View Deal

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

(Image credit: Activision Blizzard)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's been out for less than a month, but it's already enjoying a steep discount at Walmart, dropping from its box price of $69.99 to just $55 on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Activision Blizzard games, and the Call of Duty series in particular, tend not to see big discounts. Many of the older games are still being sold at full price years after release. So to see the new game drop down to $55 is a surprise.

The shooter is seeing a similar discount in the UK, with Amazon selling Modern Warfare 2 for £56.99, down from £69.99.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS5, PS4, XSX): Was $69.99 now $55 at Walmart
