Sony Prepares Black Friday PS5 Bundle Amid Leaks and Early Deals
San Mateo, California — Sony is set to release its 2025 Black Friday PlayStation 5 console bundle ahead of the holiday shopping season. Although an official announcement is still pending, GameStop is already promoting its deals for the PS5.
This year, Sony’s holiday bundle features the 1TB PS5 Console Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle. Typically, the company launches special offers during Black Friday month, but the specifics of this year’s deals have begun trickling out through leaks.
Industry insiders anticipate that Sony’s Black Friday discounts will go live on Friday, November 21. These deals are expected to include significant price cuts on both the PS5 consoles and bundles, as well as discounts on PlayStation games, DualSense controllers, and the PS VR2. In a recent leak, GameStop advertised Black Friday prices that included $100 off on PS5 bundles featuring NBA 2K26 and Ghost of Yōtei.
The DualSense Edge Controllers are predicted to drop from $199 to $169.99, although early listings on Amazon suggest some may already be available at lower prices.
In addition to GameStop’s offerings, rumors indicate that discounts may also apply to the PS5 Pro and other models in Europe, with potential price cuts of up to €150. If similar deals are rolled out in the U.S., it could mean a PS5 with a disc drive could drop from $550 to $450 and the all-digital edition could decrease from $500 to $400.
As Black Friday 2025 approaches, gamers can expect further updates from Sony and retailers regarding the final pricing and bundle details. Deals will likely extend throughout the weekend, leading up to Cyber Monday.
Billbil-kun, a reliable source for gaming leaks, has suggested that the Fortnite disc drive bundle will be priced at $450, while the digital bundle may go for $400. These prices represent the introductory price of the consoles five years ago.
While many retailers are gearing up for Black Friday, observers recommend monitoring stock availability as sales dates approach, ensuring consumers can capitalize on the best deals.
