Sony announce Black Friday PlayStation deals starting Friday

thesixthaxis.com:

Sony has announced that the PlayStation Black Friday 2024 sale will start on 22nd November and run until 2nd December, with the pretty familiar spread of offers across games, hardware and accessories, whether you’re buying direct from PlayStation or with participating retailers.

Possibly the most important part of this is the huge sale that will sweep onto the PlayStation Store for digital PS5 and PS4 games. Sony highlight that this will include EA Sports FC 25, Star Wars Outlaws and Hogwarts Legacy… and they’ll probably match the prices seen in the Xbox Black Friday sale that’s already underway.

Second most important for existing PS5 gamers is the annual PS Plus subscription discount. From 22nd November you’ll be able to save up to 30% across a 12-month membership. Existing subscribers can also save 25% when upgrading from Essential to Extra, or 30% when going from Extra to Premium/Deluxe – Premium members will now get cloud gaming for PS Portal.

If you’re after some new hardware, then you can look to PlayStation Direct, or your chosen retailer for discounts across PS5 consoles, PlayStation VR2, games, and PS5 accessories including DualSense wireless controllers, Pulse Elite wireless headset, Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. They’re also launching a special PS5 Fortnite Cobalt Star Bundle. These will take the form of an MSRP drop, but retailers are always able to compete and create their own bundles from it.

What will those discounts be? Sony ain’t saying just yet… but we do have the ever-reliable billbil-kun on French deals site Dealabs. They claim that following PS5 and PSVR 2 discounts:

That’s a huge up to €250 off a PSVR 2! And a more sensible €75 off on PS5 Slims.
