The 2024 PlayStation Black Friday sale start today. PlayStation was the last of the big three to unveil its Black Friday sale this year – the Xbox and Nintendo Switch digital game sales are already live, but everything officially kicks off starting today. As per our coverage of the 2024 PlayStation Black Friday deals announcement, we know the offers will be going live starting at some point today (likely very soon at retailers like Target) and running right through until December 2 for Cyber Monday. Head below for the details.

Sony’s announcement of its deals this year was somewhat vague – we aren’t sure exactly what deals are beginning tomorrow or not. There is a good chance that everything, from the PS5 console bundles and DualSense controllers right through to the digital game deals, will indeed go live today on direct.playstation.com, but again Sony hasn’t give precise dates or times for all of them.
The PlayStation Black Friday sale is starting to today nonetheless, this we know for sure, but it isn’t entirely clear when. If the PlayStation Black Friday offers are anything like its big-time product release and pre-orders across 2024, it is very likely that Sony is giving its direct.playstation.com storefront a head start before retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart start offering the deals. But then again, this is Black Friday and we are already seeing Target advertising upcoming PS5 console bundle deals for November 22.
Based on ad releases, it looks as though Target will have select PlayStation 5 console deals starting today, whereas Walmart will be giving shoppers another shot come Monday, November 25 at its PlayStation 5 deals when the retailer’s official 2024 Black Friday sale is set to go live. You can get a closer look at the official main event ad scans we have featured for both retailers to get a better look for yourself below:

Here are some of the console deals we have spotted on the consoles in the ads and elsewhere:
- PlayStation 5 Slim Fortnite Cobalt Star Disc Bundle $425
- PlayStation 5 Slim Fortnite Cobalt Star Digital Bundle $375
- PS5 Slim Digital $375 (Reg. $450)
- PS5 Slim Disc $425 (Reg. $500)
- PS5 Slim Digital + extra controller $475 (Reg. $505 value)
- PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle $350 ($250 off)
PlayStation Plus Black Friday deals
We know for sure, at least based on the fine print in the official DualSense controller imagery from Sony, the PlayStation Plus offers will go live at direct.playstation.com today, much like the PlayStation Gear store merch sale:
- New customers can save up to 30% on a 12-month membership
- PlayStation Plus Essential members save 25% on the “remainder of their membership when upgrading a current plan to PlayStation Plus Extra”
- Or Save 30% when upgrading from PlayStation Plus Extra to PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe
- PlayStation Gear store up to 40% off select merch: Apparel, drinkware, and more
As for the games, Sony somehow decided to omit any details on these, but we can safely assume 1,000+ ( likely even more) titles and DLC packs will be live on the PlayStation Store as early as today ahead of physical game deals at all of the major retailers. We will update this point and our social feeds when the deals go live.
