Every Christmas, my family refuses to believe that all I really want is a gift card for the PlayStation store or Nintendo E-Shop. A present needs to be more than an envelope or a voucher code, they tell me. Now don't get me wrong, the presents they end up getting me are lovely, and I'm always grateful to receive them, but I don't think they realize that a wallet top-up so I can get a hold of the games I've missed throughout the year is quite honestly the best Christmas present I could ask for.
With the Black Friday gaming deals hourglass slowly emptying, I've scoured the digital shelves for you. If you're a mother, boyfriend, wife, or sibling, these Black Friday gift cards are the perfect present for your gamer loved one this Christmas. It may not seem like much, but letting them decide what they'll get to spend that voucher on can be the best gift of all.
Now, there are two ways to go about it - you can grab a Black Friday gift voucher from a retailer that you know sells games and gaming accessories, or you can find wallet top-ups for the platform your gamer plays on. If they play on a Nintendo Switch, a voucher for the Nintendo E-shop is what they'll need. If they have a PS5 or Xbox, those have digital stores too. If they play on PC, things are slightly more open, but you often can't go wrong with a Steam voucher.
Regardless, the best deals are below, and outside of grabbing a last-minute Black Friday PS5 deal, a Black Friday Xbox deal, or a Black Friday Nintendo Switch deal, these can be some of the best value gaming discounts you'll find.
