To buy on day one or wait for discounts? It's the eternal question surrounding each big game release, and 2023 has had its fair share of decisions. This year's Cyber Monday PS5 deals are rewarding your patience handsomely this week, whether you've been waiting months or weeks. We're seeing record low prices on some of the year's biggest games on the shelves right now, and these offers really are worth those months of holding out. 

Walmart and Best Buy are leading the charge in these Cyber Monday PS5 deals, but Amazon has managed to elbow its way in here and there as well. The former is has up to $40 off blockbuster games right now, like Resident Evil 4 (now $30, was $59.99), Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (now $30, was $69.99). However, Best Buy is undercutting many of Walmart's discounts, dropping games like Assassin's Creed: Mirage (now $39.99, was $59.99) and Dead Space Remake (now $34.99, was $59.99) down to record low prices. 

You'll find all these Cyber Monday PS5 deals on 2023's biggest games just below - but day one buyers be warned your bank balance may not like what you find.

Will these Cyber Monday PS5 deals go any cheaper?

Of course, Cyber Monday officially kicks off tomorrow - and if you've waited this long,  you might be concerned about jumping before all the offers are in. I've been tracking these deals for years, though, and I expect this to be the final resting position for most of these games in 2023's holiday sales. Yes, Cyber Monday's discounts could offer up a few bucks extra off towards the end of the day but that's unlikely. Retailers have been holding these savings throughout the entire Black Friday season so far (the majority of these deals only appeared on Friday which is rare) so further significant savings in the foreseeable future are unlikely. 

We're bringing you all the biggest Cyber Monday gaming deals available right now, across Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals and Cyber Monday gaming PC deals as well.
