Black Friday had some of the best game console bundle deals we’ve seen. The good news is, nearly all of the main PS4 and Xbox bundles are available at some of the national retailers, such as Best Buy and Walmart. And just as good, GameStop has a decent Switch Lite offer, with a $25 gift card. We’ve rounded up the best offers below, along with some great discounted games for each console, too. Those come and go as well, so don’t delay if you find a game you want.
Now, remember that one reason the PS4 and Xbox are discounted so deeply is that new models — the PlayStation 5 and next Xbox — will be hitting this time next year. But in the meantime, these are some of the best offers ever on these systems, and the games will be playable on the respective future platforms, too.
If you missed Black Friday proper, don’t worry — we’ve organized the bundles and discounts still available below by console. Have a look. And while you’re shopping, we have ideas for how to keep your stress level manageable: Visit our Holiday Survival Guide for tips on how to get through the holidays without too much strain on your emotional state and your pocketbook.
Black Friday PS4 deals still available
Walmart
The current flagship Sony PS4 Pro will be on sale for $300 at multiple online retailers and physical locations including Walmart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop and Amazon. With games and movies displayed in full 4K resolution, this is the best option if you have the budget for it. And this bundle comes with a free copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which is $40 on its own at Best Buy right now. This sold out earlier but is back in stock online at Best Buy and GameStop.

Sony
This is the best we’ve seen this season. Last year, you got the same console plus Spider-Man at this price, so this is a pretty big ramp-up.
- God of War
- Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition
- The Last of Us Remastered
That pulls together three of the best PS4 exclusives — albeit ones that are not for younger kids. This sold out earlier but is back in stock online at Best Buy and GameStop.

Sure, you can get an Xbox One S for about $200 less than the Xbox One X, but if you do that you’re sacrificing native 4K gaming, and these days, why would you want to do that? For Black Friday, Best Buy is bundling the Xbox One X with the deluxe edition of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for $350. If you’re a Star Wars fan, this is the bundle to get — Fallen Order got enthusiastic reviews, and the deluxe edition adds bonus skins for the BD-1 and Stinger Mantis as well as a digital art book and 90 minutes of behind the scenes footage from the making of the game. You can whet your appetite by reading CNET’s Sean Keane’s extensive look at the game. Oh, and the bundle also includes three months of Xbox Live Gold.

The Xbox One S may not have all the horsepower of an Xbox One X, but given the price difference between the consoles, it might be a worthy compromise (especially if your TV isn’t equipped to handle HDR anyway, for example). We love this deal because it lands you Jedi: Fallen Order and a new Xbox for almost half the cost of the Xbox One X bundle.
You can also get it at Target with $40 in Target bucks thrown in.

Switch Lite deals are popping in and out this year, but GameStop has just stepped up with a $25 gift card deal when you buy it at full price, $200. Unlike the full size Switch available for $100 more, this one can’t connect to a TV — but it’s a great portable gaming rig for 1/3 less.
