Cyber Monday gaming deals may have officially drawn to a close but there are still plenty of savings to be had. Whether you're after a new console, some games, or just some new gadgets we're still seeing a range of offers on the shelves. 

It's true, some of the best and brightest discounts have been stripped from the digital aisles. Xbox Series X bundles have suffered in particular, as have straight discounts on the original PS5 console. However, if you're in the market for a Nintendo Switch or some PC tech there's still a wide range of offers to choose from. On top of that we're seeing some of our favorite accessories holding firm on their record low prices today as well. 

These offers won't be around forever. If those rising prices and out of stock messages are anything to go by, these Cyber Monday gaming deals are fading fast. If you spot a discount you like, then, we'd recommend jumping straight in.

FAQ

When will Cyber Monday gaming deals start?

Cyber Monday gaming deals tend to kick off around the Sunday after Black Friday. While the official date in Monday November 27 this year, we often see retailers switching their Black Friday offers to Cyber Monday over the course of the weekend.

Where will I find the best Cyber Monday gaming deals?

You'll find a number of retailers offering Cyber Monday gaming deals, but there are a few that bring extra value and plenty of stock to the party. You'll find our favorite stores listed below.

USA

Amazon: Usually the best for gaming discounts overall
Dell: Sales on a good variety of accessories and hardware
Best Buy: Offers surprisingly good PC peripheral deals
Walmart: Great for game discounts
Microsoft: Save on PC and Xbox games and accessories
CDKeys: Regularly offers big savings on digital games
Newegg: Excellent for PC component deals
Gamestop: Great for merch, bundles, and games

UK

Amazon: Traditionally the most reliable for variety and price-cuts
Currys: A source of regular console bundle discounts
Dell: Good variety on accessories and gaming hardware
Very: Console bundles often stay in stock longer here
Argos: Best for budget accessories with same day delivery
The Game Collection: Physical games receive excellent discounts
CDKeys: Super cheap digital PC games
Game: Save on merch, pre-owned games, and accessories

Are games discounted on Cyber Monday?

Video games themselves rule the roost on Cyber Monday. This is where you'll find the majority of download discounts and even some record low prices on physical copies as well. We've seen this time and time again, so while we don't recommend waiting past a record low price on a new release over Black Friday, you're likely going to have plenty to choose from if you do miss out on the main event. 

Do consoles go on sale on Cyber Monday?

Consoles are a little trickier to predict than games. After all, this is the first year we're heading into Cyber Monday gaming deals with both the PS5 and Xbox Series X having already dropped to record low prices in the past. We would expect these consoles to go on sale for Black Friday, but we anticipate stock might not hold out for Cyber Monday. 

Is Black Friday or Cyber Monday cheaper?

Both Black Friday and Cyber Monday are cheap, as retailers often run pretty much the same deals for both events. However, there's far more choice available on Black Friday - stock hasn't run out yet and retailers are attempting to compete in a much more cutthroat arena. The sale is far more popular, which means flash sales, bundle offers, and extra gift card temptations will be more widespread. That tends to make Black Friday the cheaper sale overall, even if many prices stay the same over Cyber Monday. 

What to expect from Cyber Monday gaming deals in 2023

The easiest Cyber Monday gaming deals to find are usually games themselves, and even though a few old favorites are sure to be discounted again in 2023 (we're looking at you, Witcher 3), the best offers will be on titles a little less long in the tooth. Big hitters like Hogwarts Legacy, Final Fantasy XVI, and Baldur's Gate 3 will likely see some of their lowest prices yet - especially if they were released at the start of the year. Meanwhile, newer titles like Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake 2 might be a little more resistant to larger savings (but should still see a few pennies off). 

If you're after a new console, though, we'd recommend keeping a close eye on Black Friday PS5 deals and Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals. This is when we expect the larger offers to land, and they might not stick around for Cyber Monday. We're expecting PS5 deals to return to a record low price set over the summer ($449 / £399), and Nintendo Switch bundles to drop back to that $299 / £259 price point with free games and accessories included. 

The Xbox Series X will likely take part in its own Cyber Monday Xbox deals as well, potentially dropping its MSRP to $449 / £429 with the Series S returning to last year's price of $219 / £189. 

SteelSeriesArctis Nova Pro Wireless gaming headset

If you're after Cyber Monday gaming headset deals, we'd recommend keeping an eye on the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro and Razer BlackShark V2 models for the highest value discounts. The former usually runs at a hefty $349 / £329, but dropped to $249 in the US last year, giving us plenty of hope for a return to a record low price. The BlackShark V2 is better suited to the everyday player looking to invest in a sturdy headset. It's a little older, but that $99.99 / £99.99 MSRP has been wavering for some time, even dropping as low as $59.99 / £54.99 in the past. This is where we're hoping to find it come Cyber Monday. 

For Cyber Monday monitor deals, we'll be watching the Samsung CRG9 for some premium action, but MSI Optix, LG UltraGear, and Alienware ranges offer up some good action as well. These brands are all responsible for some of the best gaming monitors on the market, and some of these displays have spent enough time on the shelves to be primed for some heavier discounts.

What about controllers? Well, we're expecting both Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals and Cyber Monday Xbox Series X deals to offer up some savings on official gamepads. The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and Joy-Con sets have started dropping $10 or so off their MSRPs over the last couple of years, so look set for a slightly larger saving in November.

Meanwhile, on Microsoft's side, the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller released for Xbox Series X and S has already seen some significant discounts since its first year of release. Even during 2022's Black Friday Xbox controller deals, this model dropped down to $99.99, so we're keeping our fingers crossed for a return to a record low price this year.
