Black Friday 2025 officially lands next week but Sony PS5 deals are already starting to launch. As an eagle-eyed tech critic, I’ve already spotted early deals on consoles, bundles and accessories across a range of UK retailers, giving gamers a head start on the discounts before the big sales weekend arrives.
EE, Very and Currys have all gone live with early Black Friday discounts, and while the price cuts are only small, you can still save some cash on Sony’s latest consoles. So far, retailers have slashed prices on PS5 bundles, including one with EA Sports FC 26, and there are discounts on the PS VR2.
However, a new leak from a reputable PlayStation insider suggests Sony’s Black Friday 2025 sale will be its biggest yet, kicking off later this week on 21 November. The leaked prices are in euros, but every PS5 model will reportedly get up to €150 (£132) off, including the PS5 Pro. If accurate, the PS5 Slim digital edition could drop to around £279 for Black Friday, with the discounts expected to roll out across third-party retailers, too.
I’ll be tracking every offer as it goes live, from console bundles to PlayStation games I’ve tested at IndyBest, so check back throughout the rest of the month for the latest and best PS5 Black Friday deals.

The upgraded version of the original PS5 launched in 2024 and gave Sony’s console a massive spec bump, including double the internal storage and more rendering power. “Featuring 8K graphics, more internal memory, improved ray tracing and upscaling, the PS5 Pro is the best console out right now, blowing the Xbox Series X out of the water,” said senior tech writer Alex Lee in his PS5 Pro review. You can currently save more than £25 on the console at Amazon.

It’s the natural next step for a PlayStation controller and it’s arguably the best thing about the console.”
