I’ve helped 130,000+ people find a PS5 or Xbox in 2021, and while, yes, I’ll send more restock alerts on Twitter and do more deep analysis and tips on The Shortcut during Black Friday weekend, for all of those lucky enough to get a console, there are hundreds of video games deals today.

I’ve compiled a list of 200, which I’ll constantly update today in the web version of this article, with the latest prices and availability. Games, like Call of Duty: Vanguard, are already on sale for $39.99, while FIFA 22 and Madden NFL 22 are down to $26.

Black Friday quick links

• Walmart Black Friday deals

• Best Buy Black Friday deals

• Amazon Black Friday deals

• GameStop Black Friday deals

• Walmart will have a PS5 Disc and PS5 Digital for Cyber Monday

  • No word on Walmart’s Xbox Series X page yet

What you need to know

• Disclosure: Deals contain affiliate links, and I may earn a small commission (paid by the retailer, never you). This helps me in my journey to be independent.

• Walmart seems to have the best prices this year, but it has sold out of certain games. Often it beats rival stores by four cents, a way to appear at the top of the aggregated deals lists (clever, Walmart).

• If something is sold out, check back on Cyber Monday

• Disc games – for PS5 Disc and Xbox Series X owners – are often cheaper than digital games. Why? Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, Amazon, Sony, Microsoft, etc. all sell disc games. Sony and Microsoft own the digital stores [monopoly]

• But in a few cases, the digital version of games will be cheaper

• There are several PS4 games that can be upgraded to the PS5 version for free, and the standalone PS5 copy is more expensive. Even more Xbox games can be played on Xbox One or an Xbox Series X. It’ll save you a few bucks.

• Special and Ultimate Editions of games are often available for a higher price, but for the most part, I’m linking to the cheapest versions I can find.
