Unfortunately for anyone hoping to abstain from buying stuff throughout November, Black Friday is nowadays a month-long event. And it looks like JB Hi-Fi has quietly pressed "go" on some of its Black Friday PS5 game discounts, because there are a bunch of really good deals on 2025 blockbuster releases live already.

I should be clear about this: these don't look like official JB Hi-Fi Black Friday deals. Currently the retailer is running Black Friday "teaser deals", and these game discounts aren't a part of them. But the deals are cheaper than what the competition is currently offering, and in most cases beat even Amazon's offering.

My pick for the best deal has to go to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for AU$59 (excl. shipping). It's an obvious contender for 2025's GOTY, and unless you really hate turn-based combat - Clair Obscur is basically a French take on the JRPG - I can unreservedly recommend it to just about anyone.

As far as bang-for-buck goes, Monster Hunter Wilds for AU$29 is a steal. Our reviewer Austin Wood called it "the new peak of the series and an early contender for game of the year" back in February. In this post-Clair Obscur world that last point might seem a little unlikely, but it's definitely neck-and-neck with Borderlands 4 - which is also on sale for AU$69 - as among the best PS5 co-op games.

Here are the five best PS5 deals on JB Hi-Fi at the moment:

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Save AU$25
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: was AU$84 now AU$59 at JB Hi-Fi

Arguably this year's greatest RPG gets a big discount ahead of Black Friday proper. For AU$59 this is an absolute steal, and our review bears that out: "an outstanding visionary debut from Sandfall Interactive", Alan Wen wrote. Definitely a good one to have ahead of the summer holidays.

Monster Hunter Wilds
Save AU$15
Monster Hunter Wilds: was AU$44 now AU$29 at JB Hi-Fi

Although the ticket price on this is AU$44 now, it was at least AU$89 upon release back in March, so AU$29 is extraordinarily cheap for a title released in early 2025. Sure, it's proven divisive since launch, but if you're a fan of the series or have a crew who want to stab a bunch of monsters to death in a gorgeous open world, it's a good time.

Borderlands 4
Save AU$50.95
Borderlands 4: was AU$119.95 now AU$69 at Amazon

Gearbox's newest open world looter shooter gets a tidy discount in the months after launch, despite Randy Pitchford suggesting it wouldn't happen. Despite some reservations our reviewer gave it four stars, writing that it's "undeniably an excellent looter shooter, but one that requires a bit of tunnel vision to full enjoy". It's also worth noting that Amazon is selling Borderlands 4 for AU69.

Silent Hill f
Save AU$30
Silent Hill f: was AU$119 now AU$89 at JB Hi-Fi

The season's biggest horror gets a welcome discount, making it the perfect gift for your fave scare enthusiast, or a nice quiet pre-Christmas treat for yourself. Our review was glowing, writing that it's the series' "most unsettling atmosphere and writing to date" though some people might not love the melee combat.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Save AU$50
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: was AU$99 now AU$49 at JB Hi-Fi

A substantial discount on what could be the best RPG of 2025 (don't read this, Clair Obscur). If you love your RPGs unforgiving and almost-sim-like in their dedication to reality, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is absolutely essential. It's also one of the most gorgeous games on PS5.

It's worth noting that JB Hi-Fi doesn't ship for free: It'll cost you at least AU$2.29 to have a game delivered to your doorstep, or if you have an outlet available you can click-and-collect. For fast shipping, that'll put you back a pretty reasonable AU$5.99, though that depends where you live.

Those aren't the only PS5 game deals at JB Hi-Fi at the moment - they're just our faves. Here are some others that might pique your interest.

We've got our eyes on the best Black Friday gaming deals in Australia so you don't have to do the hard yards.
