How to get the best Black Friday video game deals in 2023?
Keeping on top of the specific game you want by watching the store’s page is one of the best ways to stay in the loop on price drops, but you can also sign up for newsletters across online retailers. Additionally, this page will be updated consistently as the holiday sales season closes in and we will be adding new deals and specific discounts on all your favorite games as they arrive.
Features to consider when looking for Black Friday deals
Features themselves aren’t exactly important in the context of video games, but it really comes down to what specific console or shop you want to buy from. Are you looking for Xbox One or Xbox Series X games? What about PlayStation 4 or 5?
Nintendo Switch is arguably one of the hardest consoles to find deals for, as Nintendo is known for lowering its prices all that much (2017’s Breath of the Wild is still $60 at GameStop, for reference). Thus, know the console you are looking for and keep your eyes out for the best possible price across all of the varied retailers.
Are video games cheaper on Black Friday?
Discounts can be as high as 90% on select video games for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Nintendo is a bit more stringent on its sales season, but will otherwise have its own select discounts for games, as well. Even some PC games can be scooped up for free during Black Friday, while steep discounts will be had at select retailers, most prominent among them being GameStop, Amazon, and Best Buy.
Do digital video games go on sale?
Digital video games will be on sale throughout the year and can be picked up at rather affordable prices even a month or two after they release. This is all dependent upon the specific store and game in question, but for the most part yes, digital video games will be put on sale for Black Friday and beyond, as with most physical games, as well.
Microsft and Sony will host their own sales for the holidays on their consoles’ store pages, while Steam, GOG, and the Epic Game Store will all also have Black Friday discounts on digital games.
