While we love PS5 games, they can be a little on the expensive side at times. As games continue to push the boundaries of what is possible on a console, prices are starting to align with these advancements, leading to the introduction of $70 launch games. Thankfully, these prices don't last forever if you have a bit of patience, and now PlayStation Cyber Monday deals are already here to help with a few top discounts.
We've had our eye on the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for a while, but now as this is probably your last chance to secure a discount, it's time to stick down our metaphorical flag and declare: these deals are good. We've found Cyber Monday deals from a variety of retailers for the very best games like Final Fantasy 16, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Diablo 4, and more. But, watch out, as the countdown to the end of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales is now on, and these deals will be gone by the end of the day on November 27.
You can pick up 2023's entry into the Final Fantasy saga for just $34.99, that's a fantastic 50% off right now. If you've yet to play this game, then you should move fast to snap it up. We gave it a 9/10 back in June when it first came out - stating: "Featuring fast, reflex-driven, action-heavy combat, Final Fantasy 16 is certainly a departure from what fans may expect out of a Final Fantasy game, but its excellent story, characters, and world-building are right up there with the best the series has to offer, and the innovative Active Time Lore feature should set a new standard for how lengthy, story-heavy games keep players invested in its world."
There are a couple of wonderful Cyber Monday deals for the Harry Potter game we've always dreamed of. It's down to $30 on PS4, or $40 on PS5, and these are both tremendous discounts going into the holiday season. This is the perfect gift for any fan of the wizarding world. We gave Hogwarts Legacy a 9/10 in our review - stating: "In nearly every way, Hogwarts Legacy is the Harry Potter RPG I’ve always wanted to play. Its open-world adventure captures all the excitement and wonder of the Wizarding World with its memorable new characters, challenging and nuanced combat, and a wonderfully executed Hogwarts student fantasy that kept me glued to my controller for dozens of hours."
Here's one where you get to go: 'It should've been that price in the first place!' -- Well, we'll let you have your fun. The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Cyber Monday deal isn't something to write home about, but it's the best way to play the classic games on modern consoles right now, and it does come with a lot of content. So, at $39.99, you're getting a reasonable deal here. It's not getting any cheaper, either, so this is the best offer you're going to get.
Yes, we gave Modern Warfare 3's campaign a 4/10 (and its multiplayer a 6/10). No, that doesn't mean this specific IGN writer (hi!) is going to tell you not to buy this game -- you can make your own minds up. But, if you are interested, the latest Call of Duty entry is over $10 off in the Cyber Monday sale, which is likely the best deal we're getting if you're looking to play the game over your winter break.
All these new games are going to take up loads of storage on your PS5. This Black Friday, consider adding another 2TB SSD into the mix. We've found one of the best PS5 SSD deal ever this year -- down to $94.99.
The latest game in the long line Sonic titles is Sonic Superstars, and while this latest entry isn't getting the same attention as last years break from the formula Sonic Frontiers, it's still one of the top selling games on Amazon right now during the Cyber Monday sales. At $35, a $25 discount compared to the $59.99 MSRP, this is a great deal. We gave Sonic Superstars a 7/10 in our review - stating: "Sonic Superstars has a mix of both interesting and ill-advised new ideas, making it an enjoyable Sonic game but not exactly a Super one."
Walmart is currently the king of Black Friday discounts, as it also has Star Wars Jedi Survivor for just $30, which is a whole $4.99 less than every other retailer right now. This puts Jedi: Survivor at over 50% off, which is one of the best Cyber Monday deals we've seen this year. If you haven't had the chance to pick up Cal's latest adventure, this is a great opportunity to do so. We gave the game a 9/10 in our review.
One of the best games of the year, Diablo 4, is down to just $50 this Black Friday. It's not a huge discount, but it's still a significant one. If you haven't had the chance to pay the incredible ARPG just yet, well this is the perfect opportunity. We gave the game a 9/10 in our review - stating: "Diablo 4 is a stunning sequel with near-perfect endgame and progression design that makes it absolutely excruciating to put down."
One of the standout games from 2022 was God of War Ragnarok. If you haven't played this game yet, then you're missing out -- it's truely incredible. We expected this title to pop up among the deals for Cyber Monday this year, and we're just very excited that the 50% discount has gone live so early. Pick up your copy over this weekend for the crazy price of just $35.
Here us out, as this is a great deal. If you're interested in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered but haven't bought the core game yet -- you should get this deal. It's down to $19.99 for the physical copy from PS Direct, and this is $20 less than every other retailer right now.
This is a big deal as those who already own The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4 will be able to upgrade to a digital remastered version on PS5 for just $10 on January 19. Save files will also be able to be imported into Part 2 Remastered. Naughty Dog also clarified that upgrades for disc copies of the PS4 version are only available if you have a PS5 with a disc drive.
We might complain about it, but FIFA and now EA Sports FC are some of the best-selling games every single year -- so there's definitely still an appeal out there for happy gamers. If you haven't had the chance to pick up the world-leading soccer sim just yet, well you're in luck as it's 57% off in the Black Friday sales.
Currently available for just $29.99 at retailers like Best Buy, this is a great deal and likely the best offer we're getting on the game until it inevitably ends up on EA Play and Xbox Game Pass come May or June 2024. If you don't want to wait until then, we suggest bagging this deal this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For digital owners, the game is down to $34.99 on PS5 but you can also save 10% on PS credit right now; so ensure you use that before making any purchases.
Let's be honest, this is probably the price it should've been in the first place, rather than a whole -- checks notes -- $70? Well, at least it's come down quite heavily in price now to $39.99. If you were hoping for any further discounts, you're out of luck as this is the best we're getting. Still, we think this is quite a good deal for the perfect version of one of the best games ever made. We gave the game a 9/10 in our review - stating: "A gorgeous and well-honed remake of one of the biggest boppers in the PlayStation pantheon, The Last of Us Part I is the best way to play – or replay – Naughty Dog’s esteemed survival classic."
Assassin's Creed Mirage has dropped to just $39.99 in the Black Friday sales across most retailers. This is the best deal we're getting on Mirage, otherwise you can always opt for the Deluxe edition at $44.99 instead. We gave the game an 8/10 in our review - stating: "Assassin’s Creed Mirage's back-to-basics approach is a successful first step in returning to the stealthy style that launched this series."
What can we say, Capcom has been releasing some absolute gems lately, and the Black Friday deals are good as well. Just like its Capcom brother RE4, Street Fighter 6 is down to $30 at Walmart. We gave the game an amazing 9/10 in our review - stating: "Street Fighter 6 is the most feature-rich a Street Fighter has ever been at launch, but even beyond that, it's roster of 18 characters is excellent, the new mechanics revitalize the one-on-one fighting formula, and it absolutely nails all of the little things that make for a stellar fighting game."
If you prefer your fighting games to feature significantly more blood and gore, then Mortal Kombat 1 is the one for you. It features fast-paced fighting, plus significantly more murder than you'll find in the likes of Street Fighter 6. It didn't come out long ago, but it's already on sale for just $40. See our 8/10 review for all the reasons why it's worth your time.
Walmart's Black Friday sale is now on, and boy it's brought with it some incredible discounts. $30 for a Game of the Year contender is a great deal, and this is absolutely the best offer we're going to get this Black Friday weekend. We gave the remake a Masterpiece 10/10 in our review - stating: "The Resident Evil 4 remake is the series' most relentlessly exciting adventure rebuilt, refined, and realized to the full extent of its enormous potential." This is such a great deal on such a great game, and we're convinced it's going to sell out before the Cyber Monday sales next week. RE4 is also our top pick for the best Xbox games for Black Friday as well.
