Black Friday

Today is Black Friday 2024, but let’s face it, most of the sales have been happening for a week now, and they may not be as great this year. Nevertheless, tech-savvy gamers will be searching the internet for the best deals on games, accessories, and upgrades for their gaming passion. It’s also a good opportunity to do some Christmas shopping if you already have gift ideas in mind.

We’ve scoured the internet to find some of the top UK Black Friday deals on PS5 games, accessories, and SSD upgrades.

Score the PS5 DualSense for just £36

The PS5 DualSense controller has been officially discounted to £45 by Sony, but you can snag it for £36. ShopTo is part of eBay’s Black Friday promotion – use code BLACKFRIDAY20 for 20% off the listed price – bringing the price down to £36 from £45. This is a great deal considering the RRP is £60! Act fast before it’s gone.

You can also get the DualSense Edge for £170, compared to Sony’s sale price of £190

Need a new DualSense? ShopTo via eBay has the best prices we’ve seen on Black Friday.

Enhance your PS5 storage with these SSDs

Feeling limited by the storage space on your PS5? PS5 compatible 1TB and 2TB SSDs are quite affordable nowadays, thanks to various chipsets and brands entering the market. Console gaming primarily requires good read speeds, so you can opt for DRAM-less drives and lower write endurance.

We’ve highlighted the Netac NV7000, a budget-friendly drive likely based on the InnoGrit controller, MSI Spatium M482 and Corsair MP600 both utilizing the Phison E27T chipset, and the in-house designs from Crucial and Western Digital – the SN850X remains one of the most highly rated NVMe drives.

Enhance your audio experience with a gaming headset

A gaming headset is a must-have for any horror game enthusiast, but it can also elevate the gaming experience across all genres, thanks to PS5’s built-in spatial audio.

The Sony Pulse Gaming Earbuds are discounted to £140 at Smyths Toys, while the newer Pulse Elite headset is £100 at Smyths if you prefer over-ear headphones.

For a more budget-friendly option, the new design Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 is a solid choice at £57 on Amazon, £58 at Argos, or £60 at Currys (with the Apple TV+ offer).

For a more premium option, the Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 range offers upper-mid-tier headsets. We recommend the 7X, officially compatible with Xbox consoles and also usable with PlayStation using the USB dongle. The all-black Nova 7 headset or the blue accented Nova 7P are also available. You can now purchase the 7X for £110 on Amazon or £129 at Steelseries.
