▼ Summary

– GameStop’s full 2025 Black Friday ad aligns with Nintendo and PlayStation announcements, lacking Switch 2 console deals and focusing on older games and amiibo.
– PlayStation deals begin on November 21, including a $20 discount on the PlayStation Portal and DualSense controllers under $60, while Xbox Black Friday deals are currently unavailable.

Finding great video game deals during the holiday season is still possible at GameStop, even as its prominence has shifted. For those curious about the retailer’s 2025 Black Friday offerings, the official ad is already available to view. An early sale on games, accessories, and other items is also underway, continuing through November 22.
The current early promotion includes a variety of video game discounts, some accessory markdowns, and numerous toys and merchandise. The most highlighted section on the website features games for $20 or less. While the overall selection isn’t vast, there are a few worthwhile discounts on PS5 titles such as Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Hellboy: Web of Weird. Moving up to the “Under $30” category reveals a few more solid options, including NBA 2K26 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, each priced at $30. It’s worth noting that Xbox titles are scarcely featured in these video game promotions, with the majority of discounts focused on PS5 and Nintendo Switch games.
Beyond video games, GameStop is offering the same price on Meta Quest headsets that you can currently find at Amazon or Best Buy. There is also a $30 discount on the new Backbone Pro, which is an attractive offer for anyone shopping for a high-end mobile controller.
GameStop’s early sale is just one part of its broader 2025 Black Friday advertisement. The ad incorporates discounts already announced by Nintendo and PlayStation in their recent sale previews. To see the full ad, you can browse a scanned version shared on the Black Friday subreddit.
The Nintendo Switch deals align with expectations, though there is a notable absence of any Switch 2 games or console bundles. Nintendo has moved away from its traditional Black Friday Switch and Mario Kart bundle, opting instead to discount older games and amiibo figures. While the GameStop ad does dedicate a page to the Switch 2, it makes no mention of any price reductions.
In addition to the early promotions on Borderlands 4 and NBA 2K26, several other notable video game deals are scheduled to begin on Thursday when Best Buy and Amazon launch their Black Friday sales. These will include Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 for $50 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for $30.
Most of the PlayStation deals are set to start on Friday, November 21, coinciding with the official beginning of the PlayStation sale. This will feature a $20 discount on the PlayStation Portal and all DualSense controller colors priced under $60. A complete list of PlayStation Black Friday discounts is available directly on the PlayStation Blog.
At this time, there is no indication of any Black Friday Xbox deals at GameStop or other major retailers. Following multiple price increases from Xbox this year, it remains uncertain whether Microsoft or its retail partners will offer any significant discounts in 2025.
