Cyber Monday PS5 deals 2024: everything we expect to see this year

Cyber Monday PS5 deals could save you plenty of cash on console bundles, games, and accessories last year and 2024 should prove no different. With the Slim having spent an additional 12 months on the shelves and all those releases dropping their prices over the next few months, there's plenty to look forward to this year. 

We're optimistic for these Fall sales - last year brought us two of the most value-rich PS5 bundles we've seen yet, with either Spider-Man 2 or Call of Duty Modern Warfare included for free with the new PS5 Slim model. That, plus record low prices across official and third party games and accessories made for a particularly compelling sale. 

While these offers aren't going to compete with the full whack of Black Friday PS5 deals, they can still offer up plenty of record low prices. We've been covering Cyber Monday PS5 deals for years now, and we're rounding up everything we've learnt in that time just below. 

What to expect from Cyber Monday PS5 deals in 2024

The big question on everyone's minds is whether the PS5 itself will see any discounts over Cyber Monday this year. Unfortunately, the straight price cuts we saw on the original model last year may have been paving the way for the Slim's release at the end of 2023. That means we're not as sold on the idea of savings on the newer release as we were last year. Still, we are expecting the return of PS5 Slim bundles at a similar price to last year's, packing a free recent release into the standard MSRP. Anything more than that is certainly optimistic, but only time will tell. 

We will likely see more stability in cheap PS5 games and the best PS5 accessories. PS5's 2023 releases saw some excellent discounts over the course of last year's Cyber Monday PS5 deals, with Hogwarts Legacy, Final Fantasy, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Resident Evil 4 offering up new record low prices over the course of the sale. We would, of course, expect similar if not heavier savings on these games - especially considering many have already been cheaper in 2024. However, newer releases are going to be more interesting. We're looking to the games released in the first half of 2024 for the biggest savings here.

If you're after extra kit you'll want to get in there early. While we did see record low prices on both the DualSense controller and Pulse 3D headset lasting into Cyber Monday last year, they were quickly snatched off the shelves. We've only seen similar $49 / £39 sale prices on the controller a couple of times since then, so we'd expect to find it at a similar price this year. The Pulse 3D headset, meanwhile, has been a little more stubborn. We anticipate a $20 / £20 saving on that $99.99 / £89.99 MSRP, then.

If you're after something a little more pro, you've got two options. The DualSense Edge is far more Sony aligned, but its $199.99 / £209 MSRP hasn't seen any discounts in the US so far, and has only dropped £10 off its price in the UK. While we will likely see a little extra cash off this device in 2023's holiday sales, we may only see it dip down to $179.99 / £179.99.

Unfortunately for PlayStation, that's where the Victrix Pro BFG (the best PS5 controller we've tested yet) starts life. While that $179.99 / £179.99 is still hesitant to drop its rates, we've seen it down at around £130 in the UK before. That means there's a little more wiggle room in this price.

FAQ

When will Cyber Monday PS5 deals start?

Cyber Monday PS5 deals will officially kick off on Monday December 2 this year, which means we'd recommend watching for retailers turning their Black Friday sales around over the course of the weekend before.

Where will the best Cyber Monday PS5 deals be?

Certain retailers are better equipped to offer out high quality Cyber Monday PS5 deals. We've been watching the retailers below for years and they rarely disappoint.

US
Amazon:
expect some of the day's finest discounts
Best Buy: headsets and storage deals usually stand out here
Walmart: big discounts on some of the year's hottest games again?
Newegg: we're hoping for some discounted PS5 SSD options
CDKeys: PSN top-ups should feature

UK
Amazon:
we're expecting some of the cheapest deals for all things PS5
Very: could be a contender for surprise console stock
CDKeys: PSN wallet top-ups, and maybe some games too
Argos: often saves some of its best deals for this time
Currys: one to watch for gaming and electronics in general

Will the PS5 be cheaper on Cyber Monday?

While the PS5 will likely be cheaper over the full Black Friday weekend, it might not be too much cheaper over Cyber Monday. That's because retailers will often slowly raise their prices as their deal-allotted stock runs out. With so much competition snapping up those discounted consoles on Black Friday, the weekend after might be too late. 

Should you buy a disc or digital PS5 on Cyber Monday?

The majority of players will be better suited to the disc version of the PS5 on Cyber Monday. Not only does it allow you to run a whole library of cheaper PS4 games on your new device, but if pricing remains inline with previous record lows the disc version represents greater value overall. We haven't seen the digital edition taking any price cuts so far - and we're not anticipating anything too groundbreaking over Cyber Monday either. Considering the discounted PS5 comes so close to the price of the digital edition it's worth the upgrade.
