Black Friday PS4 deals are in high demand this year. The PS5 might be Sony’s flagship gaming console, but its predecessor still has plenty to offer.
In fact, with so much attention being given to PS5 restocks throughout 2021, the PS4 has flown under the radar. Don't forget, the majority of high-profile games are still being released on the older system, and are often available for significantly less than on the console's next-gen counterpart.

While the PS4 debuted in 2013, it’s still proving itself capable of running some of the most graphically demanding titles around. Furthermore, unlike the PS5 we may see a range of price cuts among this year's Black Friday deals. If you’re on the hunt for a gaming console at a bargain price, then the PS4 really could be the system to keep an eye out for.
It’s not just the console itself that may see Black Friday discounts, a wide variety of the games and accessories are also expected to receive deep price cuts. With a library that spans eight years, there are hundreds of PS4 games worth checking out and many of them could be available in the sales event at lowest ever prices.
Whether you’re looking to getting into console gaming for the first time, picking up a second PS4 for a family member or friend, or just hoping to kit out your console with a load of new games and accessories, Black Friday PS4 deals should have something to offer you.

Black Friday PS4 deals: What to expect in 2021
There’s no denying that the PS4 is entering its twilight years, but that doesn’t mean the console isn’t still worthy of a spot in your entertainment center. If you have a shelf to fill, the good news is we expect to see significant money off the machine this Black Friday.
In previous years the PS4 Slim has dropped down to just $200 with three included games, and even the 1TB model with up to three games has been available for around $400. We don’t necessarily expect the console to drop to an even lower price this year, but it’s likely there will be a range of tempting bundles available in the $200 ballpark.
The PS4 Pro on the other hand has generally maintained its price since its 2016 launch. Previous Black Friday sales have seen it bundled with a game and slashed by $50, but even this year the demand for the supped-up PS4 has outstripped supply. Last month Best Buy had a restock of the PS4 Pro that sold out in two minutes!
Unfortunately, the PS5 restock nightmare has started to impact the supply of the PS4. Many gamers frustrated at not being able to purchase a PS5 have instead opted for a PS4, which in turn is creating a stock shortage of PS4s. Because of this, the deals on PS4 consoles might not be quite as plentiful as in previous years.
What we can be very sure of is big money off a range of the best PS4 games. The console’s library is stuffed to bursting with must-play titles so Black Friday will be the ideal time to pick up enough new games to last you until next summer. Remember that the PS5 can play PS4 games as well, so next-gen console owners should also keep an eye on these deals.
PS4 accessories is another area that is almost guaranteed to be fruitful for deals. The usual suspects like headsets, extra controllers and streaming gear should all receive discounts. It’s also very likely that the PSVR headset will be on sale. The entry-level virtual reality device has dropped to as low as $200 before in previous Black Friday sales — expect a similar discount this year.
