Cyber Monday PS5 deals are live — here’s the best sales on PlayStation consoles, accessories and games

This sounds like a good deal to me

Cyber Monday is discounting the PlayStation Pulse Elite headset which is the perfect choice for PS5 gamers looking for an audio experience worthy of the powerful console. At Best Buy, the Pulse Elite Gaming Headset is on sale for $129 — that’s a solid $20 off this official PS5 accessory.

The successor to the Pulse headset, which launched alongside the PS5 in 2020, the Pulse Elite is a slick and well-designed accessory that we rated 4 stars in our review. We praised its build quality, excellent sound, customizable sound and long battery life. But did find the mic to be a little underwhelming.

Silent Hill 2 is about to sell out

Silent Hill 2 is $39 at Best Buy. Usually, I’d give a little intro before jumping straight into the deal, but in this case, there’s no time. Best Buy notes that stock levels of Silent Hill 2 are dwindling (there are just 3 copies left at my local store) and Amazon previously sold out this deal, so if you want to pick up the best horror game of 2024, and one of the finest remakes in years at a discount, secure your copy of Silent Hill 2 right now.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a bargain at this price

You’ll certainly get your money’s worth with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The second chapter of the Final Fantasy VII Remake project offers a ludicrous amount of content. It was good value at full price, but now with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on sale for $39, which is a 43% discount on one of 2024’s best games.

You once again play as Cloud and pals as they leave the confines of Midgard and step out into a larger world on a quest to find Sephiroth. Expect a cinematic narrative, plenty of action spectacle and characters who are iconic for good reason.

Demon’s Souls is still a must-play

Demon’s Souls launched alongside the PS5 in November 2020, and more than four years later, it’s still one of the console’s best games (and one of its few true exclusives!). Right now, Demon’s Souls is on sale for $29 at Best Buy.

This from-the-ground-up remake of the PS3 original is a stunning technical achievement. The dark world of Boletaria has never looked this good, and this new version of Demon’s Souls plays better than ever with several small, but impactful, quality-of-life tweaks. This challenging action-RPG was the progenitor to the Dark Souls series, and thanks to a new PS5 Pro patch it actually looks and runs even better in 2024 than it did at launch (assuming you have a Pro console).

A fantastic remastered re-release for just $29

Prepare for Shadow’s big screen debut with Sonic x Shadow Generations, a must-have game for fans of the Blue Blur’s franchise. In our review, we said that Sonic x Shadow Generations is exactly what a remastered re-release should be. 2011’s Sonic Generations looks and performs much better, while the new Shadow Generations puts Shadow in the limelight and gives his story closure. With bosses and stages old and new, it’s a fantastic action platformer with just the right dash of nostalgia.

Released just a couple of months ago, Sonic x Shadow Generations is already down to just $29 at Best Buy — and it’s a deal too good to pass up.

A heavenly PS5 game deal

God of War Ragnarök had some big shoes to fill as in the successor to 2018’s critically acclaimed God of War reboot, but remarkably this sequel managed to live up to the hype. If you foolishly missed out in 2022, God of War Ragnarök is on sale for $29 at Best Buy. Don’t pass up the chance to score $40 off this titan.

In Ragnarök, Kratos and Atreus set out on a new journey with the Norse Realms in turmoil, and the fabled apocalypse on the horizon. Venturing through each of the Nine Realms, you take on the role of the God of War as you explore stunning locations, battle mythic foes and enjoy a blockbuster story with a grand finale.

Epic PSVR 2 deal sticks around for Cyber Monday

PlayStation’s awesome discount on the PSVR 2 is still live on Cyber Monday. You can pick up a PSVR 2 headset for $349 at Amazon, that’s more than 40% off and offers a total saving of $250. It’s a PS5 deal that is hard to beat this year.

Even better, you’re not just getting a VR headset for $349 because this deal also applies to the Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle, which includes the PSVR 2, two Sense controllers and a copy of the Horizon VR game which is among the most cinematic experiences you can have on the PlayStation VR platform.

Upgrade your PS5 storage for a whole lot less this Cyber Monday thanks to these deals on the WD_Black SN850X SSD. The drive in up to 8TBs is on sale, but the best value pick is the 1TB SN850X SSD for $89, down from $129, at Amazon.

I’ve recently been using the WD_Black SN850X in a PS5 Pro and can confirm first-hand that it functions flawlessly with a PS5 console. It takes minutes to slot the drive into your machine and gives you plenty of extra room to play with. I also didn’t notice any major drop in performance or loading time when playing a game directly from the drive.

Astro Bot is a fantastic platformer that offers creative levels and celebrates PlayStation’s rich history with a cast of 100+ V.I.P bots (essentially little robots dressed up as iconic gaming characters). It’s a must-play experience for PlayStation fans of just about any age, and right now Astro Bot is on sale for $49 at Walmart. Yes, that’s only $10 off, but considering the PS5 exclusive only launched in September it’s a great deal.

In my super positive Astro Bot review, I said “Astro Bot is a joyful platforming experience that soars thanks to inventive level design and countless loving nods to PlayStation’s rich history. It also takes full advantage of the PS5 and its use of the DualSense controller remains novel.”

Step into the world of the blockbuster James Cameron movies in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. This visually stunning open-world action game feels an awful lot like Far Cry but with more blue-skinned people. Right now, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is on sale for $19, and that’s a huge 60% discount.

You play a young Na’vi who is on a mission to protect their homeworld from the destructive forces of the human RDA, and to do this you must master multiple combat styles – from basic bows to high-powered assault rifles – and also soar through the skies on your own personal banshee.

There’s still time to pick up a discounted PS5 DualSense. This massive sale on PlayStation controllers launched ahead of Black Friday, and it’s still available as we enter Cyber Monday. Score a DualSense controller for $54 at Best Buy. Even better this $20 saving is available across various colorways from the super popular Midnight Black to my personal favorite, Volcanic Red. If you need a second PS5 pad or an extra controller for co-op play, now is the time to buy.

Returnal is a stunning PS5 exclusive that will hook you with its bullet-hell gameplay and its mysterious sci-fi setting. Returnal is on sale for $29 at Amazon, which is an almost 60% saving compared to its list price of $69. I’ve argued it’s worth buying at full cost, so at this discounted price, it’s an absolute steal.

In this challenging rougelike experience, you play an astronaut who has crashlanded on an eerie alien planet, and a very hostile one at that. Setting out to explore, you find yourself stuck in a time loop and are transported back to the beginning upon each death. You must fight for survival and for some answers.

Sonic Superstars is one of those PS5 games that is practically always on sale, so its Cyber Monday price drop was largely expected. However, for the seasonal sales event, it’s dropped an extra $5 off its usual on-sale price. Right now, Sonic Superstars is on sale for $19 at Amazon – that’s its lowest price yet.

Pitched as a “new spin on a classic”, Sonic Superstars is a blend between modern sensibilities and traditional 2D side-scrolling. It’s the perfect entry point for newcomers to the Blue Blur. but will also delight longtime fans.

Let’s start with the real front page deal: The PS5 Slim is currently $75 off, and you have a choice of the standard Disc Edition (which sports a disc drive) and the Digital Edition (which, you’ve guessed it, doesn’t have a disc drive).

The PS5 Slim is the current flagship PlayStation console, and it’s a smart refresh of the gaming machine launched in November 2020. Its look may be divisive but its performance power is unquestionable, and its innovative DualSense controller still feels next-gen even in 2024 with features like haptic triggers.
