The PlayStation Black Friday sale 2026 is live now on PlayStation Store, with up to 75% off thousands of PS5, PS4 and PS VR2 games until November 30. The best price in the headline line-up is 007 First Light at $34.99, half its usual $69.99, and that one lasts until the sale ends. Most of the other big discounts finish sooner, on November 20, so I wouldn’t leave them until Black Friday itself.
Key takeaways
- The sale started on November 4 and runs until November 30, with new games joining on November 16.
- Most of the headline PS5 deals end early, at 11:59pm PST on November 20.
- On several big games, the deluxe edition on sale costs less than the standard edition at full price.
When does the PlayStation Black Friday sale 2026 start and end?

The promotion refreshes on November 16, when new titles join and some deals are swapped out. It ends at 11:59pm on November 30. Prices and percentages differ by region, so the prices below are the US PlayStation Store’s, checked on November 13.
What are the best PS5 game deals in the PlayStation Black Friday sale?
These are the games Sony picked out to lead the sale, with their US prices on November 13. The biggest cuts are on NBA 2K27’s Deluxe Edition and 007 First Light.
| Game | Usual price | Black Friday price | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| NBA 2K27 Deluxe Edition | $99.99 | $44.99 | 55% |
| 007 First Light | $69.99 | $34.99 | 50% |
| 007 First Light Deluxe Edition | $79.99 | $39.99 | 50% |
| Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition | $19.99 | $11.99 | 40% |
| ASTRO BOT | $59.99 | $39.59 | 34% |
| UFC 6 Ultimate Edition | $99.99 | $69.99 | 30% |
| Echoes of Aincrad | $69.99 | $48.99 | 30% |
| Marvel’s Wolverine Digital Deluxe Edition | $79.99 | $59.99 | 25% |
| SAROS Digital Deluxe Edition | $79.99 | $59.99 | 25% |
| Beast of Reincarnation | $59.99 | $44.99 | 25% |
| Mortal Shell II | $49.99 | $37.49 | 25% |

| The Sinking City 2 | $49.99 | $39.99 | 20% |
| Valheim | $29.99 | $23.99 | 20% |
If I were picking one, it would be 007 First Light. It’s the only one of these at half price on its standard edition, and it’s the only one on this list whose deal runs to the end of the sale. ASTRO BOT at $39.59 is the other easy pick, a third off until November 20.
Is the deluxe edition cheaper than the standard edition on PS5 right now?
On several of the biggest games, yes. The sale cuts the deluxe editions but leaves the standard editions at full price, so the deluxe is now the cheaper way to buy the game.
Marvel’s Wolverine Digital Deluxe Edition is $59.99, while the standard game is still $69.99. SAROS works the same way: the Digital Deluxe Edition is $59.99 and the standard edition stays at $69.99. NBA 2K27 is the biggest gap. The Deluxe Edition is $44.99 and the standard edition is still $69.99, so you’d pay $25 more for less.
PRAGMATA’s Deluxe Edition is $55.99 against $59.99 for the standard game, and The Blood of Dawnwalker’s Eclipse Edition is $63.99 against $69.99. UFC 6’s Ultimate Edition comes down to $69.99, the same price as the standard edition. Before you buy any of these, check every edition on the product page, because the cheapest one isn’t always the one at the top.
Do the PlayStation Black Friday deals end early?
Many of them do. Sony says some discounts finish at 11:59pm on November 20, before the promotion ends, and some are replaced with new offers. On November 13, the PlayStation Store listed November 20 as the end date for every headline deal above except the standard edition of 007 First Light, which runs until November 30.
That gives you until November 20 for most of them. If you’re waiting for Black Friday on November 27 to buy Wolverine, ASTRO BOT or NBA 2K27, those prices may already be gone by then. New games join on November 16, so it’s worth checking the Black Friday page on PlayStation Store again after the refresh.
How many games are in the PlayStation Black Friday sale?
Sony says thousands of games, expansions and DLC are discounted across PS5, PS4 and PS VR2, and its announcement names 472 of them. They run from big recent releases like Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Anno 117: Pax Romana to older series like Yakuza and Ys. Sony only gave prices for its headline picks, and the full price list sits on the sale page itself, where it changes with the November 16 refresh.
The cut on most of the big 2026 releases is 20% to 25%. The deepest cuts in the headline line-up are on NBA 2K27’s Deluxe Edition and 007 First Light. Sony’s 75% figure is the maximum discount anywhere in the sale, so expect it on older games rather than this year’s.
