Gaming Consoles and Games (15–30% off)

Gaming consoles and games historically feature their strongest bundles on Black Friday, with PlayStation and Xbox pairing hardware with 2–3 game titles and sometimes a year of online service for up to 30% off the total. Individual games from the current year frequently drop to 40–50% off their $70 launch prices, netting a $35 saving per title. For instance, a $500 PS5 bundle with three games and a year of PS Plus retails for $700 but costs $490 on Black Friday. This outperforms #2 Laptops and Tablets in terms of per-item game discount percentage, though console discounts are lower. In 2024, 60% of console bundles included a digital credit worth $20–$50.
