Forget Christmas, Black Friday is the most wonderful time of the year! In one month, we see everyone united, from gamers to gardeners, from parents to teenagers, all just trying to find that perfect bargain.

Which is where we come in: our Technology team has been sifting through hundreds of deals this November, trying to find the best use of your hard-earned cash. From the best John Lewis Black Friday offers to Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals, we've been searching high and low for the savings you can really boast about.

This time, we're looking at the elusive and expensive PlayStation 5 (PS5). As you probably know, PlayStations only ever seem to drop in price when the next model comes out, leaving the last one on a never-ending pile of irrelevance.

But, we’re happy to say that that’s all changed today as the PS5 can now be bought for an all-time low of £389.99. That’s right, the price of the PS5 has been reduced by a whopping £90 at PlayStation and other stores.

Plus, we've seen other great bundles appearing across multiple retailers such as Currys, Very, GAME and more. From discounts on the hottest games like Spider-Man 2 and EA SPORTS FC 24, to deals on headsets and charging docks.

And as we creep ever closer to the big day – by which we mean 24th November of course – we’ll be sure to keep updating this guide with the best deals we find.

How much will the PS5 cost on Black Friday 2023?

You can never be sure that big consoles like the PS5 will actually go down in price during the Black Friday period. But, this year we’re so happy to be proven wrong.

From Friday 17th November, the PS5 is now on sale for just £389.99. This has been reduced by £90 from its original RRP of £479.99, making it cheaper than the PS5 Digital. You can find this at PlayStation, GAME, Box.co.uk and more.

If you want to get it for even less, we’d also recommend looking at second-hand models. For this, you should check out GAME or Back Market.

Best PS5 Black Friday deals we’ve seen in UK sales so far

Get £90 off the PS5

Is PS5 worth it

What’s the deal: The PS5 has been reduced by £90 (or 19 per cent) in the Black Friday sales. It’s now available for £389.99 rather than £479.99.

Why we chose it: This really is a no-brainer. It’s so rare to see popular devices like the PS5 dropped to this low, so to see a whole £90 off is truly special.

We’d suggest snapping this up fast because the last PS5 Black Friday deal we saw (which took the price down to £409) went in a matter of hours. But, if stock does run out, we'd also suggest looking at smaller sites like Box.co.uk, as their stock tends to last longer.
