PlayStation’s Black Friday promotion is now underway, bringing major savings on digital PS5 games. Sony confirmed the sale yesterday, and the PlayStation Store has opened it for a limited run from November 4 through 20, cutting prices on thousands of titles. The lineup includes older favorites you might expect to see marked down, plus new 2026 releases such as Wolverine, Control Resonant, Silent Hill: Townfall, and many others. Here’s what stands out.
Before getting into the offers, it helps to remember that these deals are only the opening wave of Black Friday season, and they may not end up being the lowest prices available for these games. With Black Friday still a few weeks away, other stores are likely to discount many of the same titles, perhaps at even lower prices as the month goes on. Remember this as you plan out your purchases. With that said, here’s a look at the current sale.
The standout first-party PS5 release of the season is Marvel’s Wolverine, created by Insomniac, the team behind the Spider-Man PS5 games. It is an entertaining, very violent single-player action game with a strong story, although our reviewer gave it a 6/10. Only the digital deluxe edition is discounted, but the reduction makes it $10 less than the standard edition. Along with the base game, it includes several exclusive suits, claw skins, and some in-game support through Technique Points.
If you have a PS5 equipped with a disc drive drive, though, a used standard edition is available at GameStop for $38.99 right now. That shows how other retailers may offer better prices than the PlayStation Store sale. The more open you are about format and store choice, the better bargains you may find this month.
Among the other discounted games, Control Resonant is another major fall release. Once again, the sale applies to the digital deluxe edition rather than the standard version. It includes an additional outfit, a starter resource pack, and a digital artbook plus soundtrack. The deluxe edition of 007: First Light is also discounted by 50%, and it comes with extra outfits and bonuses too.
If you prefer standard editions and enjoy horror, Silent Hill: Townfall is available for 20% off. Beast of Reincarnation is reduced by 25% as well. Plenty of other games are included in the sale, too.
Still, if your goal is the best possible price, you will probably see larger discounts in the coming weeks. For now, the smartest move may be to pick up only the games you plan to start soon. For everything else, make a wishlist and watch for the next round of PS5 game deals.
