The best Black Friday PS5 deals in Australia for 2025: The big sales events are over but PS5 consoles are still going cheap

The cheapest price we've seen on the PS5 Slim disc edition since the price hike in 2025. If you're in the market for a new PlayStation, now is absolutely time to bite.

Again, this is an absolutely brilliant price for a PS5 digital. If you later change your mind and want to play discs, a first-party peripheral is available for around AU$120.

You can fight until you're blue in the face whether PS5 Pro is worth it or not, but this price is the equal cheapest we've seen so far. As our PS5 Pro review points out: "The PS5 Pro only suits its price tag in niche circumstances, but it does deliver on its promise to improve both graphics and framerates." Note that JB was selling this bundled with EA Sports FC 26 at the start of Black Friday for this same price (AU$979), but that's now sold out.

If you've been reluctant to fork out nearly a grand for a brilliant-albeit-patchily supported peripheral, now is the time to bite. If you've already got a PS5 in the house, this is probably the best way to game in VR.

Savings on the PS5 DualSense controller are exceedingly rare nowadays, which is especially annoying since they're very prone to stick drift and trigger button problems. So: stock up! Stock is a bit patchy and we've seen prices as low as AU$78.99, but most other in-stock colours will set you back AU$85 (if they're on sale).

Sony's brilliant yet exorbitantly priced premium DualSense is a fine piece of kit, and this discount - albeit no record breaker - makes it ever more tempting. It has replaceable analog sticks, four back "paddle" buttons, changeable stick caps and a bunch of other lavish features that you'll regret not having once you've held one of these in hand.

Not as good a saving as we saw previously, let's not scoff at this small 7% discount. It's an excellent Remote Play handheld with DualSense functionality, which makes up for the fact that you could otherwise just use a cheaper controller attached to your phone. If you want one, you want one.

You don't hear much about these wireless buds made especially by Sony for PS5, but they exist, and our colleagues over at Techradar thought they were good. They're almost perfect for the PlayStation Portal, and can double as your commuting 'phones if you fancy the PlayStation branding. They feature multi-device connectivity, integrated mics (for both gaming and phone convos) and AI-enhanced "noise rejection".

This is the first substantial discount on Kojima's 2025 sci-fi epic. In our 4 star review we wrote that "this tarpunk delivery epic is more Metal Gear Solid than ever, for better and worse", alluding to its more action-centric approach compared to its predecessor. This is exactly the kind of cinematic blockbuster game that works well on muggy summer evenings.

Widely considered a return to form, Battlefield 6 reviewed very well when it launched last month. Now, just weeks later, many major retailers are offering a huge discount on the RRP of AU$109.95. Whether you're keen to jump in on the multiplayer action, or are just curious about the campaign, this is a significant discount for a game that only released recently, even though it was cheaper at AU$59 earlier in the week.

This year's soccer sim gets a brilliant discount as part of Black Friday, once again proving that buying a game on launch day can be a needless strain on one's bank account. Going into the summer holidays, this should be a good one to have around.

Lost Soul Aside only released in August, so this is a remarkable discount. It's an action RPG with some decent qualities, though our review isn't especially glowing. "With a transforming multi-weapon that's also a dragon, combo possibilities can be really fun to explore, but you often don't have enough reason to do so."

A substantial discount on what could be the best RPG of 2025 (don't read this, Clair Obscur). If you love your RPGs unforgiving and almost-sim-like in their dedication to reality, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is absolutely essential. It's also one of the most gorgeous games on PS5.

The season's biggest horror gets a welcome discount, making it the perfect gift for your fave scare enthusiast, or a nice quiet pre-Christmas treat for yourself. Our review was glowing, writing that its the series' "most unsettling atmosphere and writing to date" though some people might not love the melee combat.

This is only borderline a deal: AU$99 is what Amazon is charging as a matter of course for this new PS5 exclusive, undercutting most of the competition by at least AU$10. If you're after another sumptuous open world in the prestige Sony mould, and loved Ghost of Tsushima, this is worth investigation.

Gearbox's newest open world looter shooter gets a tidy discount in the months after launch, despite Randy Pitchford suggesting it wouldn't happen. If you're after a 50+ hour RPG sprawl that you can play with friends, this is well worth it at this price.

While Mario's new kart racer got all the attention in 2025, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds was a quiet achiever: it reviewed very well, with our own Justin Towell writing that it "has the mileage to be a karting favorite". If you've got family visiting for the forthcoming holiday period, this would also make a great way to entertain.

A pretty good price for this big open world adventure, which originally released for PS4 but looks great all glowed-up on PS5. This includes the Iki Island story expansion and the Legends multiplayer mode, so there's well over 50 hours of entertainment to be had here.

If you're after a gorgeous crime drama set in early 20th century Italy, you could do much worse than Mafia The Old Country. This one's also good if you're over the trappings of modern blockbuster open world games: sure, there's a big ol' map, but this one keeps things very story focused.

Bloodlines 2 has been divisive, and our review was unambiguously on the negative side. Still, among people who've waited so long for this sequel, there will be a desire to play it anyway, and this is about the best price we've seen for the modern vampire RPG. We called it "a boring, linear action brawler" but maybe you will call it a "masterpiece"? (Doubtful, but let's see.)

This standalone expansion for the original Spider-Man was a PS5 launch title, but it still looks brilliant, and at this price is well worth a look. If you're after the Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition—which packs in the whole original Spider-Man game—that's currently going for AU$69, though at the time of writing stock is low sorry folks, the latter looks to have sold out.

A bonanza discount on this highly regarded horror remake, which was met with unanimous praise when it released in 2022 (though presumably not enough sales for EA to quickly issue a Dead Space 2 remake). If you're an eBay Plus member, this game is yours for AU$19.60 using code BLKFRI.

Disney Epic Mickey is a brilliant and innovative platformer with a lot of old school Disney charm, and it's the kind of game that makes an easy Christmas gift for PS5 owners young and old.

A good price on this epic ye olde fantasy take on the Final Fantasy formula, which we said " stands alongside the series' greats" in our review. It's a big 60+ hour adventure that is incredible value for money at this price, with some of the most bonkers boss fights this side of Asura's Wrath.

It may be a PS4 game but Red Dead Redemption 2 still looks beautiful, even though it hasn't been updated to take advantage of the PS5 (not to mention the PS5 Pro). This is one of the most lavish videogame productions to date, with an epic 40+ hour narrative and a story that can rival the great westerns.

Another new Corsair low (it was AU$139 during Amazon Prime Day), this classy wireless affair nets you Dolby Audio 7.1, an omni-direcitonal mic, and 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity in addition to Bluetooth. It'll work on PC, PS5, PS4 and Mac.

This offer gets you a respected high-level headset which we praised for its good battery life, decent audience and comfort. In our 72/100 review we criticised its price and "unspectacular" mic, but perhaps those shortcomings are a little easier to bear with this whopping price cut.

The Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset offers low-latency 2.4Ghz wireless audio and Bluetooth connectivity, along with high-fidelity 24bit/96kHz sound and support for Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio. We saw them for AU$149 during Black Friday last year, though, so it might be worth waiting. Quick! Stock's low!
