Black Friday always brings a treasure trove of game deals for Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation, and Black Friday 2021 is no different. There’s no need to wait until the event officially kicks off later this week, as retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, and GameStop are already offering tremendous deals on plenty of notable games, including popular hits released this year. We’ve rounded up the best Black Friday game deals.

Best Black Friday PlayStation game deals

Now’s a great time to bolster your PlayStation library, and even if you’re on a last-gen device such as the PlayStation 4 or the beefier PlayStation 4 Pro console, there’s no shortage of great games to try out. Discounts on some of Sony’s blockbuster titles are the norm here, and third-party support means that you can score big on titles from the likes of Ubisoft, Warner Bros. Interactive, and much more.

Even better, many of the more recent games on this list have free upgrades attached to them, so once you make your way to PS5, you’ll be able to download a newer and shinier version of your purchase. If you’re already on PS5, there’s no harm in grabbing a few last-gen titles to go with your current-gen acquisitions either.

Best Black Friday Xbox game deals

Like PlayStation, it’s a similar setup with Xbox regarding cross-gen purchases but arguably better thanks to the Smart Delivery feature on the Xbox Series X|S consoles that ensure you always get the best version of a game. When it comes to Xbox, you’ll typically want to pay close attention to deals on third-party games, since all first-party Microsoft games are included with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

Best Black Friday Nintendo Switch game deals

Now’s an excellent time to grab Nintendo Switch exclusives for less. There is no shortage of steep discounts on notable Switch games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Paper Mario: The Origami King, and plenty more.
