The best early gaming deals of Black Friday

Black Friday is a wonderful time of the year to be a gamer, or to shop for gamers in your life, because prices plummet on 2024’s best games, as well as on controllers, gaming gift cards, and sometimes consoles, too. While the official Black Friday deals will kick off before the sun comes up on Nov. 29, retailers have gotten into the habit of launching many of its deals early — and by early, we mean now. We have a big roundup of the best early Black Friday deals that covers a wide range of products, from board games and books to electronics. This one’s just about gaming.

What’s cool about these early deals is that, in many cases, they are actually the same low prices as we’ll see on the big day. Some retailers like Best Buy and Target even offer price matching through the end of the year (or close to it) if you notice a lower price on a product you bought already during the holiday shopping season.

Stay tuned for a big update coming Friday, Nov. 22, followed by more new deals this weekend.

As the Nintendo Switch has many exclusive games on, you’ll find multiplatform titles in the Xbox section even though, in most cases, the Switch version is selling at the same price. -->
