The official early Black Friday PS5 deals are live at retailers - save on games and hardware

Now, we are well and truly in the week of Black Friday With Sony itself breaking cover on what's going to get the discount treatment this summer, it's fair to say that, as of today, the official Black Friday PS5 deals have now begun.

Sony has clearly taken the lead in determining what hardware (no, not the consoles, before you ask or skip ahead) and games are getting their prices cut in celebration of the sales season, and all the major retailers have quickly updated their listings accordingly. We've found the best retailers, predictably, to have you covered are Walmart and Amazon, which are well stocked and showing the price cuts up and down the hardware and game lines.

The DualSense controller - of all colors and kinds - has also taken a big price cut. You'll now find basically all colors of the controller at the $49.99 mark, which is fantastic and marks a new record low. The default white version is $49 on the nose at Walmart (was $69.99) which shows a 20 dollar drop in price, but more unusual colorways such as the Cosmic Red beauty have suffered heavier price cuts to come down to $49 at Walmart, given their higher starting point of $74.99.

And then there are some Black Friday PS5 deals in terms of games, and in particular those first-party games. There's a first-ever discount on The Last of Us Part I (now $49.99, was $69.99), a massive discount on Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut which has stubbornly held its price since its release (now just $29.99, was $69.99), and there is a near-half price offer on this year's Horizon Forbidden West (now $39.99, was $69.99).

You'll find more information on all the headline offers we've picked out below, and plenty more PS5 deals further down the page.
