We've compiled a list of the 10 best deals on PS5 games under $30 and another 10 options of PS5 games under $20. Seriously, you won't want to pass these up.

The Best PS5 Game Deal Overall - The Last of Us Part I for $29.99​

Hands down, the best deal for PS5 games this Black Friday is for The Last of Us Part I, which is currently selling for $29.99 at Best Buy and Target — the lowest price we've ever seen this game sell for. You can't even find this deal on the PlayStation Store. With the much-anticipated Season 2 of the game's TV adaptation set for release in spring 2025, it's the perfect gift for any fan of the show who may not have yet played the original games. Or, just treat yourself to this action-adventure masterpiece, which scored a 9 among IGN's review team for its emotionally gripping storyline and satisfying gameplay.

The Best PS5 Game Under $20 - Elden Ring for $19.93​

This action RPG has been the subject of enormous hype since its 2022 release, and for good reason. Challenging combat, awe-inspiring visuals, and an expansive open world ripe for players to explore cemented Elden Ring as Game of the Year at the 2023 Game Developers Choice Awards, where it also won Best Visual Art and Best Design. It even scored a lofty 10 from IGN's review team. The game is currently selling at Walmart for a meager $19.93 — a 67% discount from its retail value — making it one of the best gaming deals this season. If this deal sells out (which it will), you can also find it at Best Buy for $19.99.

For even more gameplay, the Shadow of the Erdtree Edition of the game was just released earlier this year, which comes with the base game and DLC. This ultimate combo is $51.69 on Amazon right now, and as of publication, the slightly cheaper Best Buy deal on this game is already out of stock. Considering how new this DLC is, it's no surprise it's not as heavily discounted as the base game, but it's still a $28 discount from its standard retail value of $79.99.

More PS5 Black Friday Deals to Explore​

There's plenty of other Black Friday deals still going strong on popular games, though they're certainly not as reduced in price as what we've gathered for you here. Metaphor: ReFantazio, which is primed to take the title of Game of the Year, can be picked up right now for $20 off its retail value — its lowest sale price yet. Other standout offers include Star Wars Outlaws and Dragon's Dogma 2 on Amazon for $39.99 apiece.

If you're looking for more console accessories, we've also got you covered. Amazon's deals on DualSense controllers start at just $54.99 right now — a 28% discount from their retail price. Even special edition models are discounted to $59.99.

We've also seen some great discounts on PlayStation 5 console bundles, which were made available on November 23. Both the Fortnite Cobalt Star Bundle and the NBA 2K Bundle started at $374.99 for the Digital Edition and $424.99 for the Disc Edition on Amazon, but have since sold out. We're hopeful that these deals will return for Cyber Monay, and we'll keep you updated if/when they do.

But possibly the biggest highlight of all the PS5 deals out there is on the PSVR2 Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle, which is currently selling for $350 on Amazon. That's a $250 markdown from the bundle's market value, putting this virtual reality device on the same playing field as the Meta Quest when it comes to pricepoint. Plus, you get a great game to test drive your console with.

Will There Be More PS5 Game Deals for Cyber Monday?​

Although Cyber Monday officially starts on Monday, Dec. 2, many retailers have started posting these deals as early as November 30 to piggyback on the hype train of Black Friday. Make sure to read up on the sales schedules of your favorite retailers to take advantage of their deals while they last. But be warned: Some of these games are likely to sell out well before the sales even end. Don't take the risk and grab them while you can.
