The 2026 PlayStation Black Friday sale dates and console offers have not been announced in the official sources available as of October 8, 2026. The most recent confirmed dates are for 2025: PlayStation’s US sale ran from November 21 through December 5. That promotion included PS5 and PS5 Pro offers, but it does not confirm what will be discounted in 2026.
When did the PlayStation Black Friday sale start?
For 2025, Sony announced that PlayStation’s Black Friday promotion would begin on Friday, November 21. PlayStation’s US deals page listed it through Friday, December 5. Those are historical dates, not a schedule for 2026. Sony’s November 18, 2025 announcement and the PlayStation US deals page do not establish a 2026 start date.
Were PS5 and PS5 Pro discounted in 2025?
Yes. Sony’s 2025 announcement included PS5 console offers and stated that PS5 Pro consoles would be discounted by $100 USD. It also said shoppers in select regions could save $100 USD on PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition consoles. These were 2025 promotion details; they are not confirmed 2026 prices or discounts.
2025 hardware offers announced by Sony
- PS5 Pro: $100 USD savings, according to Sony’s 2025 announcement.

- Fortnite Flowering Chaos bundles: Sony listed recommended US retail prices of $399.99 for the 825GB PS5 Digital Edition bundle and $449.99 for the 1TB PS5 bundle. These were bundle prices, not general console discounts.
Sony also advertised discounts of up to 75% on selected PS5 and PS4 digital games in the PlayStation Store during the 2025 promotion.
