There are some pretty attention-grabbing recent releases for both PS4 and PS5 in the list, including Deathloop , Far Cry 6 and FIFA 22 . PS5 exclusives Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Returnal are even in there, too. Best PS5 games : the PlayStation 5 games you need to play The best cheap PS5 game

Aside from recent releases, there are some other great games in there that
you might have missed when they were first released but should definitely experience at some point. Titles like Hitman 3 , Demons Souls , Dishonored 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2 really stand out. And, hey, if youre a fan of The Sims 4on console then its a good time to pick up some expansion packs as
there are plenty of them up for grabs13 in total.

Of course, while its exciting to see it confirmed that such recent releases are going to be discounted in a mere matter of hours, the post doesnt
actually confirm exact prices for the games. Instead, it says that all discounts will be revealed on PlayStation Store tomorrow, so right now its a case of keeping your fingers crossed and hoping that the games you have your heart set on will get the deepest discounts. The sale will last until
November 29, 23.59pm local time, so theres a fairly decent window of time in which you can consider your purchases.

PlayStation Direct will also have deals to look out for, with a promise that these will include the DualSense wireless controller + NBA 2K21 Jumpstart Bundle as well as numerous PS5 and PS4 titles. Away from games, the blog post mentions a 20% discount on apparel, accessories, collectables and more at the PlayStation Gear Store. Getting that discount is just a matter of using the code "BLACKFRIDAY20" at the checkout. Opinion: A good time if you've been holding out

Black Friday is generally a pretty good time to pick up games that youve had your eye on for a while or games that you don't want to take a chance on unless you're getting money off them. Its not everyone that can pick up every game as soon as its released, whether due to constraints on time or money. If you have been holding out for a title, Black Friday is generally the time to go for it as, on top of finally getting a game you want, often youre also getting the added bonus of a small (or maybe even large) discount.

Its not just games that are good to pick up on Black Friday, either. For PlayStation owners especially, its a great time to renew your PlayStation
Plus membership . The blog post does state that therell be deals on PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now memberships so it could be a pretty good time to pick up a 12 month membership and not have to worry about it again until next Black Friday, when you can usually be pretty sure youll get it for a decent bit of money off again.
