November 21 - Sony's official Black Friday deals have landed, and you can grab everything from up to $100 off PS5 consoles and bundles, up to $20 off the PS Portal remote player, and up to $30 off the premium DualSense Edge wireless controller over at PS Direct and select US and UK retailers.

With Black Friday little over a week away, PlayStation has announced its discount and deal plans leading up to the big sales extravaganza, which will run for a "limited time" on the PlayStation Store, at the official PlayStation Direct online store, and at select retailers worldwide - and the PS Portal is finally part of the plans.

While we can't confirm the time, we can confirm that the Black Friday PS5 deals will include the brand new PS5 Digital Edition 825GB Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle in the US, with its $399.99 MSRP and the 1TB Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle available for $449.99. Both include in-game goodies for Fortnite, as the name suggests, along with 1,000 V-Bucks. However, in the small print, PlayStation states that these bundles will remain exclusive to the official PlayStation store until November 26, 2026.

Out of that long list, it's the discount on the PlayStation Portal that has most caught my attention. The remote player has been available for two years now, but deals and discounts are a rarity, so even the small $20 / £20 saving will be a nice sight to behold. I've had mine for almost a year now, but it'll be nice to see it be all the more accessible to others, even if its saving is not as dramatic as I'd hope it'd be.

Not to mention, the device recently received an upgrade, which equipped the handheld with new features, including a new redesigned UI, 3D audio support, the ability to complete in-game store purchases, and most notably, the ability to stream games straight from your game library. You still need to have a PlayStation Plus Premium membership in order to do just that, but fortunately, the upcoming Black Friday deals have you covered on that front, too.

Those in "participating countries" will be able to save up to 33% on a 12-month membership of PlayStation Plus. Current members will also be able to save 33% on the remainder of their membership when upgrading from PlayStation Plus Essential/Extra to the higher Premium/Deluxe tiers too.

One of the best benefits of PlayStation Plus is exclusive discounts on games, but according to the PlayStation Blog announcement, there will also be "various discounts" on PS5 releases, including Death Stranding 2 On the Beach, Lost Soul Aside, Astro Bot, and God of War Ragnarok, but their new prices haven't been revealed quite yet.

All the upcoming PlayStation Black Friday deals are expected to commence on November 21, however, you can check the official PlayStation Black Friday website to stay up to date with any and all available offers. Not to mention, don't forget to check in with our hardware team over the deals period.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
