These are the best Black Friday deals for gamers in 2025: PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PC discounts tested, verified, and vetted by a deals expert
I've been scouring the shelves this Thanksgiving

Black Friday deals are hitting hard this Thanksgiving, with savings reaching across PS5 consoles and into Nintendo Switch games and accessories. Xbox controllers are seeing major discounts and both PCs and their associated accoutrements are dropping to some of the best prices of the year. Don't know where to start? Right here.
I've been tracking Black Friday deals for over six years now, but I've also been hands-on with all the latest and greatest releases in that time. I'm hitting every retailer, plucking out the deals on games and gadgets we actually recommend here at GamesRadar+. Then I'm scrapping anything that isn't at or near a record-low price.
That leaves us with a wad of discounts on the tech and titles I would actually buy myself, at the price I would actually pay for them. You don't get much better than that on Black Friday.

Deal hunting was my day job when I started at our sister site TechRadar and now, six years later, I get to combine that eye for value with real hands-on experience living, working, and playing with the newest hardware across PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC. That means I know which gadgets are actually worth their sales prices this Black Friday and where to find the biggest offers.

Save $20 - This is one for those with the original Nintendo Switch still safely tucked away in its case.

When does Black Friday officially start?
Black Friday will begin as soon as the clock hits midnight tonight, but I've seen Black Friday deals popping up for months at this point. The biggest discounts have all been landing in the last few weeks, but I'm seeing a lot of gadgets also returning to previous sales positions from the season as well.
I keep this sub-$30 controller on my desk at all times
I feel like I'm shouting about this controller every Black Friday, but considering you're spending less than $30 it's excellent value. I grabbed the EasySMX X10 for its clicky mechanical face buttons (just one look at Razer's prices for the same feature will explain why), but it's quickly become my go-to for all my PC gaming.
It's also compatible with the original Nintendo Switch (there's rumblings about it working with Switch 2, but I haven't been able to get it up and running), but I've found it can struggle when too far away from its receiver. This is a controller best positioned at your desk, then.
EasySMX X10 | $49.99 $26.79 at Amazon
Let's get some more Switch accessories going
Two of the best accessories I ever bought for my OG Nintendo Switch are on sale for Black Friday this year; the Razer Barracuda X and Hori Split Pad Pro. If you're giving your handheld a new lease of life while waiting for the Switch 2 to drop its price, this is where I'd start.
Straight off that Barracuda X headset offers fantastic audio for its price point, as well as a no-fuss wireless connection, sleek subtle design and a sturdy build quality. You're getting it for $5 cheaper than I usually see it during major sales events as well, at $64.
Next up we've got a Joy-Con alternative that made my Switch OLED feel all the more comfortable and kept my inputs precise and accurate. That's because the Hori Split Pad Pro offers a much chunkier set of grips and a larger control scheme. You do drop rumble, which I missed in Pokemon Legends Arceus, but this is still fantastic value.
Hori Split Pad Pro (Pikachu / Charizard) | $59.99 $39.99 at Best Buy
Razer Barracuda X | $99.99 $64 at Amazon
There's plenty more where that came from
I've been hunting down these Black Friday deals for weeks now, so I'm going back to some of my favorite gadgets have already found extra savings. You'll find all my top picks from my first trawl through those digital aisles above, but prepare for a whole load more.
