The official Black Friday sales have been going on for a full week already, but today is finally Black Friday time for real now. Thanksgiving is traditionally when all of the sales go live, and arguably the best time to get some deals shopping in.
The IGN Deals team has been hard at work finding the best deals happening today so we can deliver them to you at your leisure. We've gathered discounts from across major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and more to help you get the best prices possible.
Our picks for the top deals today include a mix of tech, games, movies, and toys that all have one thing in common: They're really good deals! The one exception to that is the Nintendo Switch 2 bundle, which is really only there because stock is going fast. We've also included couple of notable promotions here that are worth checking out. The fist is Amazon's usual "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" sale that includes tons of 4K movies, books, and vinyl. You can also get Audible for only 99 cents right now for three months (on top of a $20 credit).
If you're looking for deals on games, our Senior Commerce Editor Robert Anderson has been all over these deals so far. Both the PlayStation and Nintendo Black Friday sales have been going on all week and some games have gone in and out of stock at various retailers. Here's the best Black Friday video game deals that are still live and where to find them:
The most notable discounts are on Mario Switch games, but there a few other really good deals in here. There aren't and new Switch 2 console deals, unfortunately, but you can still pick up the Switch 2 bundles from a few different retailers and save a little bit.
PlayStation has really done the most for Black Friday this year and pretty much everything is on sale, including a ton of popular PS5 games. Almost every DualSense controller is on sale right now, and you can even get a rare discount on the PlayStation Portal everyone seems to love. There are also console deals available on both the PS5 Pro and special edition bundles. PlayStation fans are feasting on discounts this year.
The Xbox Black Friday sale hasn't been quite as good as PlayStation, but there are still a lot of discounts to be had. There are quite a few Xbox games on sale right now as well as price cuts on Xbox controllers. Unfortunately, there have yet to be any sort of console deals available.
If you're looking for PC games specifically, there are are number of places to go. Most notably, Steam launched its first Black Friday sale this year, so that's definitely worth a look.
Almost all of the Apple devices are on sale right now, with the exception of the iPhone 17. All of the AirPods have been dropping to new low prices all week and MacBooks and iPads are getting price reductions as well. The best prices are at major retailer like Amazon and Walmart, but Apple did announce its own Black Friday sale plans for 2025 as well. Starting tomorrow, you'll be able to get up to $250 in Apple gift cards when you make select purchases fromt eh Apple Store.
There are already a ton of great LEGO deals going on all over the internet right now, and our official LEGO Editor Chris Reed has hand picked the best of the best. One of our favorite discounts so far is on the LEGO Ideas Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory set that is only available at Target. We built this set back in September when it first came out and it's absolutely awesome. There are also a ton of LEGO sets set to retire soon that are seeing final disocunts before they're gone.
Black Friday is one of the best times of the year to buy 4K and Blu-ray discs and that's on full display this year. There's recent releases, like the new Superman movie, that have dropped all the way down to only $12.49. You can also get full trilogies like The Lord of the Rings or the Harry Potter movies for surprisingly cheap.
If you're looking for PC gaming hardware deals, our Commerce Manager Eric Song has been actively looking for the best discounts all week long. There are some great prices available for PCs and gaming laptops equipped with the latest GPUs as well as massive discounts on gaming monitors. Here are the best deals we've found for each category in 2025 so far:
Some of the best discounts are on hardware direct from Lenovo and Dell, both of which are currently having their own sales. You can also find some surprisingly low prices at Walmart and Best Buy for iBuypower and CyberPowerPC gaming rigs.
Similar to gaming PCs, almost all of the best discount here are direct from the manufacturer's own Black Friday sale. The Dell sale has the Alienware 16 Aurora for under $1,000 and Razer has the 2025 Razer Blade 14 down to its lowest price ever as well. There's also some good discounts from HP, Walmart, Lenovo, and Best Buy worth checking out.
There are quite a few gaming monitors available, with some prominent Alienware options available directly from Dell. LG Ultragear monitors are seeing some solid price reductions across various retailers, and there are som good budget monitor options available on Amazon. Some of our favorite gaming monitors are included in this sale.
We've found some pretty solid Black Friday gaming chair deals so far this year on some of IGN's top-reviewed gaming chairs. Our top pick, in terms of overall value, is the Razer Iskur V2 X. It's the best budget chair and is discounted an extra $50 on top of that. Both Secretlab and Andaseat also have their sales live and you can save a decent chunk of change there as well.
While we expect thee to be more Black Friday deals tomorrow and through to Cyber Monday, there are a lot of great options available right now, especially if you're looking for a good gaming TV. You can get a 77-inch LG TV for under $2,000 and receive a free soundbar right now when you buy directly through LG. There are also a handful of discounts at Best Buy and Walmart on some truly massive televisions.
The Black Friday deals on headphones are as good as it gets this year. You can currently get the latest pair of Apple AirPods for only $69, and even the recently released AirPods Pro 3 are getting discounted. For over-ear headphones, there's the Beats Studio Pro headphones that have dropped to only $150. And for top of the line, there's the new Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones now at the lowest price we've ever seen (outside of used models).
All of the best streaming deals are now live for Black Friday, and our streaming expert Blythe Dujardin has been tracking them all. The most popular deal is the Disney and Hulu bundle, which drops the price down to $4.99 per month for an entire year. There are also discounts on standalone subscriptions like Crunchyroll, Apple TV, and HBO Max that are definitely worth checking out. For anyone looking for a sports streaming option, Disney also still has the discount available on the ESPN Unlimited bundle as well.
There are some really good board games on sale right now, with a spread of deals on family board games and modern classics. The latest edition of Catan is only $24.99 and a must-have for anyone starting a board game collection. There's also classics like Sorry! and Connect 4 selling for only $5 each.
There are a lot of individual books on sale, but the best overall book deal right now is Amazon's buy 2, get 1 free sale. Most notably, this sale includes popular box sets like The Lord of the Rings books and Harry Potter. It's worth diving into the sale yourself and just searching for the books you'd want.
Black Friday start dates were pretty scattered this year, but the actual end of the sale is the same for pretty much every retailer. Black Friday sales end when Cyber Monday sales begin. That means you have until November 30 to shop the deals before the inevitable switchover to Cyber Monday happens on December 1. There are a lot of similarities between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but you can expect exclusive new deals for each sale.
It's true that a lot of the discounts will be the same on Cyber Monday as they were during Black Friday, but you can expect one major difference: Cyber Monday deals will mostly be online. Brick-and-morter locations like Target and Costco will only be offering these deals online. The exception to that rule is Best Buy, which will have discounts both in stores and online that day.
It may seem silly to start planning your Black Friday shopping right now, but doing so can help you save a lot of money when it comes time to actually start making purchases. Here are a few Black Friday tips that you should consider ahead of the event:
The creator of Dragon Quest, Yuji Horii, believes Final Fantasy X was "ultimate perfection" when it released back in 2001.
In an interview with Game Informer, Horii talked about his experience developing Dragon Quest, which at the time was up against the Final Fantasy series as Square and Enix had yet to merge. While he didn't really think of Final Fantasy as "competition" per se — while they're both RPGs, their approaches to storytelling are quite different — he did acknowledge that he was "definitely paying attention to it."
"Way back then, when Final Fantasy originally came out, I was definitely paying attention to it because it was something we needed to look out for," Horii said, reflecting on how the games differ. "But there's one key difference that I really saw back then: the protagonists in the Final Fantasy titles, they speak a lot. Whereas for Dragon Quest, the key objective for [the games], or the experience it offers for the player, is that the player becomes the protagonist themselves.
"In Final Fantasy, you kind of observe the protagonist, but you're not necessarily becoming the protagonist in the games. So I thought that was a really interesting and stark difference between Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, but I didn't necessarily see them as a rival back then."
That may have changed when Final Fantasy X came along, however.
"Final Fantasy, again, [the protagonists] just talk a lot," Horii added. "I do like Final Fantasy, though. When I first saw Final Fantasy X, I recall feeling this was the ultimate perfection of Final Fantasy."
Don't forget that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake released at the end of October. We thought it was Amazing, awarding it 9/10, writing: "Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake beautifully concludes this trilogy, recapturing the retro magic of the originals while giving them a modern facelift."
And as for the latest on Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3? Director Naoki Hamaguchi recently confirmed the upcoming game would "strike a balance" when it came to pacing and be "more concise," but insisted didn't mean he would cut any content from the game.

Halo fans, here is something for you today. Modders ‘Froddoyo’ and ‘Lydran’ have released a mod that brings the Halo 3 multiplayer experience to Counter-Strike 2. This is a must-have for all Halo and CS fans. So, let’s take a closer look at it.

World of Warcraft: Midnight will release globally on March 2, 2026.
The second part of the Worldsoul Saga and the 11th overall expansion for Blizzard's MMORPG, Midnight will take you to new and reimagined zones, let you try out new abilities, and face "all-new Delves, dungeons, and raids."
Applications for the beta test are now open, and over the course of the test, Blizzard will be "inviting community veterans, press, fansies, friends, and family" to check out the upcoming expansion.
Players who have bought the Epic Edition will also get the chance to participate in the beta, as well as get three days' early access, which means they can get stuck in from February 27.
You also don't have to wait until March to set up home if you've purchased any edition of the Midnight expansion — don't forget that Housing Early Access will kick off next week on December 2, so you'll be able to select a neighborhood, choose a house, and start making it cosy weeks before the expansion drops.
Blizzard provided a roadmap to its expansions plans back in BlizzCon 2023. The second of three expansions announced at the time, Midnight follows last year's The War Within, and will take place in Azeroth's "Old World" in Quel'thalas, where Void forces have invaded and are trying to destroy the Sunwell and plunge the world into darkness.
We played the first 10 hours last month, writing in IGN's World of Warcraft: Midnight preview: "There's still a lot of the Midnight alpha to see. Try as I might, they wouldn't even let me into the mysterious realm of Zul'Aman! But having played it basically every waking hour since I got access, which was about 10 hours ago as I write this, I am certainly impressed with the new zones and the customization housing allows, and I'm excited to see where the story of the Worldsoul Saga goes next."

Battlefield 6 has dropped to just $35 at Amazon in the Black Friday sales (see here). That's 50% off, and an almighty $28 less than the previous best discount this week. Now that's more like it.
If you're looking for an excellent multiplayer shooter to play over the holidays, this is it, and it's the best price we're likely to get on it for a long while.
Snap it up ASAP, as I don't see this deal lasting until the rest of Thanksgiving, let alone the Black Friday sales weekend. Sorry, Xbox fans, this is a PlayStation 5-only deal for now, as Battlefield 6 is still just under $60 for Xbox consoles. But, we'll also keep an eye out for any changes.
Only releasing in October this year, Battlefield 6 has offered a true return to form for the long-running shooter franchise and has pretty much finally outdone Call of Duty at its own game, selling some almighty big numbers.
While we didn’t love the campaign, there’s no denying it’s a gorgeous-looking shooting gallery, but as with any Battlefield game, the real draw is multiplayer. Whether you’re looking for infantry combat, the opportunity to fly a jet or helicopter, or you just want to pile into a tank with your friends and bring down buildings, there’s something for everyone.
Reviewer Justin Koreis gave the multiplayer an 8 out of 10, saying, “Battlefield 6’s multiplayer action is expertly crafted, wrapped in a wonderful layer of destructibility that both looks great and materially affects the flow of combat. The gunplay is excellent, with weapons that are accurate enough to reward skilled shooting, but have just enough sway to promote a bit of careful thought while you take aim.”
Battlefield 6 is currently in the middle of its first season of post-launch content, including new maps and modes, while the RedSec Battle Royale mode is also available as a standalone free-to-play game. Given how successful the game has been for EA, you can likely expect new seasonal updates well into the future.
EA and Battlefield Studios have also recently launched the first Battlefield 6 free trial week, giving new players on PC, PS5 and Xbox the chance to try Season 1 multiplayer maps and modes from November 25, at 4 a.m. PT / 7 a.m. ET to December 2 at 4 a.m. PT / 7 a.m. ET.
Wait? Not for deals like this. Black Friday might come with a few surprises of its own, but today, Battlefield 6 for just $35 is a Black Friday quality deal, and well worth snapping up before it inevitably goes out of stock.
Only Amazon has the deal right now, so if the deal gets nuked, then I'm afraid it'll be Black Friday FOMO for you. Fingers crossed Walmart and Best Buy price match it soon. Apologies for the tough love, but if BF6 has been on your wishlist, this is the best possible deal we're getting, and blows any other deals out of the water.
It's such a good offer, it properly rivals my previous best PS5 game deal recommendation in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater for $30 at Amazon and Walmart. You might have already seen my $20 or less roundup, which is still packed with heavy hitters from the last few years and perfect if you want maximum bang for your buck. I also recently covered the best games under $30 right now, sporting MGS as my top pick.
Just like BF6, that's likely to sell out fast as well. I've also got you covered if you're looking for a more comprehensive roundup of the best video game deals for Black Friday. In summary, snag these games as soon as you can, and have a great Thanksgiving.

The release of the first volume of episodes for Stranger Things Season 5 sparked such interest that it briefly crashed Netflix.
Users report the streamer went offline for a few minutes at 5pm PT on Wednesday, November 26, as the first four episodes went live. Some have experienced bugs on Netflix throughout the evening.
The error message shown to users included a background image of a terrible cake baked on Netflix’s reality cooking competition show Nailed It!, which feels appropriate. Social media was awash with the error message as fans desperately tried to jump into Stranger Things Season 5.
Netflix confirmed the outage in a statement issued to Variety: “Some members briefly experienced an issue streaming on TV devices, but service recovered for all accounts within five minutes.”
Stranger Things has done this to Netflix before, of course, back in July 2022 when the final two episodes of Season 4 went live. The live-streamed Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight also caused problems in November 2024.
Here’s the official blurb on Stranger Things Season 5:
The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.
Stranger Things Season 5 debuts on Netflix in three parts, with the first four episodes arriving for the Thanksgiving holiday on November 26. The next three episodes premiere on Christmas, and the series finale will debut on the streamer and in over 350 theaters nationwide on New Year’s Eve.
Check out IGN’s Stranger Things: Season 5, Vol. 1 spoiler review to find out what we think of the first batch of episodes.

CD Projekt has ruled out an appearance from The Witcher 4 at The Game Awards this year, despite its cinematic reveal trailer premiering during last year’s show.
While acknowledging The Witcher 4’s nomination in the Most Anticipated Game category at The Game Awards 2025, joint-CEO of CD Projekt, Michał Nowakowski, took to social media to manage expectations, confirming its hotly anticipated sequel is being kept under wraps for now.
“I’m very happy to see The Witcher 4 nominated in the Most Anticipated Game category at The Game Awards,” Nowakowski began. “Thanks to everyone who has already voted — your support means a lot to us. We won’t be bringing any new content to TGA this year, but we’re, as always, excited to watch the show and celebrate this amazing industry’s great night alongside all of you.”
So, that rules out more of The Witcher 4, last seen via a hugely impressive Unreal Engine 5 tech demo in June, any time soon. When might CD Projekt have more to show? Given CD Projekt has indicated The Witcher 4 won’t be out until 2027 at the earliest, perhaps The Game Awards 2026 is a safe bet. According to CD Projekt's latest financial report, 447 people are currently working on The Witcher 4, up slightly from the number reported at the end of July. Clearly, it is CD Projekt's focus right now.
And don’t go expecting anything from Cyberpunk 2, either. CD Projekt recently said it’s still “laying the foundations” for the sequel while ramping up staff at its development studios. That one’s even further out.
Still, we do know of one title that will be at The Game Awards this year: Exodus. The official Twitter page for the game confirmed that a new Exodus trailer will be shown at The Game Awards on December 11. Exodus is a new sci-fi RPG in development at Archetype Entertainment, a studio founded by former BioWare developers James Ohlen, Chad Robertson, and Drew Karpyshyn, and published by Wizards of the Coast.
While you wait for that, check out all the nominations for The Game Awards 2025.

Publisher Paradox Interactive has today taken the blame for the poor sales of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2.
The long in development sequel launched in October and was met with a ‘mixed’ Steam user review response, with fans saying it failed to meet the expectations they had for the sequel to Troika’s 2004 cult classic Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. IGN’s Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 review returned a 7/10. We said: “Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 takes another flawed but unique and remarkable bite at the jugular, with plenty to love and loathe alike, but I certainly enjoyed my time as an elder vampire at the very least.”
Now, after 30 days on sale, Paradox has issued a note to financial markets signalling a write-down valued at 355 million SEK (approx. $37 million) of capitalized development costs for Bloodlines 2. This write-down, Paradox said, was based on an updated sales forecast now it has had a month to look at Bloodlines’ commercial performance.
Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive, said the blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2’s failure lay at the publisher’s door, not that of The Chinese Room, which had been drafted in to save the project after years of development hell.
“Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is a strong vampire fantasy and we are pleased with the developers’ work on the game,” Wester said.
“We’ve had high expectations for a long time, since we saw that it was a good game with a strong IP in a genre with a broad appeal. A month after release we can sadly see that sales do not match our projections, which necessitates the write-down. The responsibility lies fully with us as the publisher. The game is outside of our core areas, in hindsight it is clear that this has made it difficult for us to gauge sales. Going forward, we focus our capital to our core segments and, at the same time, we’ll evaluate how we best develop World of Darkness’ strong brand catalogue in the future.”
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has two expansions planned as part of the game’s Premium Edition, and Paradox said it remains committed to delivering them. “Our post-release plan remains firm; we will deliver updates and the promised expansions to the game in the coming year,” Wester added.
Swedish game company Paradox’s main focus is on grand strategy games, which have proven enormously successful over the years. Games such as Stellaris, Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings, and Cities: Skylines have all enjoyed big sales, and, in total, Paradox games have six million players each month.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, however, falls outside that core grand strategy genre, and always looked like it would struggle upon release. And while its development trouble began years ago, it suffered issues right up to launch. In September, a month before release, Paradox and The Chinese Room announced that the Lasombra and Toreador clans would be available in the base Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 experience following a backlash from players.
Paradox announced Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 all the way back in 2019 with then-developer Hardsuit aiming for a Q1 2020 release window. That, of course, never happened, as Paradox would go on to announce an indefinite delay alongside Hardsuit's departure from the project. The Chinese Room was then announced as its new developer in 2023.
In a recent interview with the Goth Boss podcast, former creative director Dan Pinchbeck said the development team tried to work out how to get Paradox to not call the game Bloodlines 2.
"The tricky question around it was Bloodlines 1," Pinchbeck said. "Are you making a sequel to Bloodlines 1? We used to sit there and have these planning sessions of how do we get them to not call it Bloodlines 2? That feels like the most important thing we do here, to come at this and say this isn't Bloodlines 2. We can't make Bloodlines 2; there's not enough time, there's not enough money.”

The holidays tend to be the busiest time of year for most folks, from shopping and parties to baking and wrapping, there’s a lot to get done. ECOVACS Robotics lets you check off a few items on the seemingly endless to-do list. Right now, a bunch of the brand's top cleaning robots are on sale via Amazon for Black Friday, and are the biggest deals we’ve seen all year. One robot is even discounted by over 60%. However, these killer savings won’t last forever as the sale ends on Cyber Monday, December 1st.
Editor's Note: This article is brought to you buy ECOVACS
ECOVACS Robotics delivers some highly capable robot vacuums. No matter which model you choose, whether it’s budget or high-end, just know that each vacuum's smart navigation, powerful suction, and easy maintenance all but ensure cleaner floors. ECOVACS doesn’t only offer vacuums; it also has robot window cleaners and lawn mowers for tackling even more chores.
I even had a chance to test several of ECOVACS’ robots, and can attest to the quality products produced by this innovative brand.
The ECOVACS Robotics lineup is extensive and features numerous models discounted for Black Friday. If you’re looking to upgrade an older robot vacuum or have a larger, busier home, the top-of-the-line X11 OMNICYCLONE is the perfect choice. It’s a vacuum and mop combo that’s fully automated with a premium base station for a totally hands-off cleaning experience. With a unique fast-charging system, the robot even cleans massive floor plans without requiring long charging breaks. For Black Friday, $500 has been knocked off its price, so it’s just $999.
The X11 OMNICYCLONE may be overkill for smaller households or different lifestyles, so finding a mid-tier or budget model could be a better, more economical option. The DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI offers almost everything the X11 OMNICYCLONE has, albeit in a more toned-down way. But, at nearly 50% off, costing just $699.99, it’s an absolute steal.
For something even more affordable, ECOVACS has DEEBOT N20e Plus for $299. You lose out on mopping, but it still delivers powerful suction and features a self-emptying base. It’s the ideal option for first-time robot vacuum users or those with smaller spaces.
Now, those are just a sampling of the many deeply discounted robot vacuums from ECOVACS for Black Friday. But the floors aren’t the only part of your home that may need a little extra attention; your windows might require some TLC, too. The WINBOT MINI attaches to your window and methodically cleans to get all that extra grime off the glass, and you can get it for over 20% off right now. For heavy-duty window cleaning, upgrading to the WINBOT W2 PRO OMNI is the way to go. It cleans large, hard-to-reach glass and features a multifunctional base station. Best of all, it’s an even better deal at nearly 50% off.

Amazon has almost every Ultra Pro Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy playmat on sale during its early Black Friday sale. A small number of popular mats, like fan-favorite Vivi, Stray Black Mage are sold out, but there are many other mats with incredible art to pick from at new discounted prices.
If you're new to TCGs, people use playmats as a way to show off their favorite art or accomplishments, and also for practical reasons: have you tried picking up cards off of a kitchen table? I assure you, it gets annoying fast.
With the Final Fantasy crossover set that launched this past June, TCG accessory maker Ultra Pro released tons of playmats featuring some of the most iconic characters and moments from throughout the game series' long history, including Y'shtola from Final Fantasy XIV and Lightning from XIII. Mats for Final Fantasy VII characters Cloud and Tifa feature the new art from their cards, and some mats, like those for Clive or Sephiroth, are double-sided to represent mechanics of the cards they're based on.
Whichever Final Fantasy character speaks to you the most, odds are there's a playmat for you to bring to your game night or local game store for some cardboard slinging. These also make great mousepads if you're in the market to spruce up your home office or gaming setup.
If you've been on the lookout for MTG Final Fantasy cards, Amazon has the Revival Trance Commander deck featuring Terra on sale for 53% off, and Final Fantasy play booster boxes (30 packs) are at their lowest price ever for Black Friday, down to $162.57 (22% off).
Be sure to check out our detailed Magic: The Gathering gift guide for inspiration while shopping for that special Planeswalker in your life. Everything from recommended deck boxes and dice packs, to card binders and even apparel, this guide covers everthing they'll need to protect their collection and give it some flare.

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X has been out for over a month now, and while it is an expensive device, you probably won’t see any real discounts for Black Friday. This is thanks in large part to Asus needing to ramp up production to meet demand, because even its high price wasn’t enough to stop people from buying it, apparently.
But while you won’t be able to save a bunch of cash on the system itself, that doesn’t mean it’s not a good time to get the Xbox Ally X or load up on accessories if you already have one
Unlike something like the Nintendo Switch 2, neither Asus or Microsoft offer any kind of bundle deal. Instead, you’ll be paying $999 for the Xbox Ally X or $599 for the Xbox Ally, which has a weaker chip and a white colorway, and it’s not likely either will get a Black Friday deal.
Black Friday itself isn’t here yet, of course, but at the time of writing, the only deal I can find on either system is the basic Xbox Ally for $580, $19 off of list price – but that’s only if you buy 5 units, for a total of $2,850. Not exactly what I’d call a great deal.
There is a chance that some retailer cuts the price on the Xbox Ally X, but it’s incredibly likely that you’re going to have to pay full price. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any savings to be had.
When you take the Xbox Ally X out of its box, you get the console itself and a charger. That is basically all you need to play games to your heart’s content, but it leaves a little to be desired if you’re going to like, take it anywhere.
One of the first things I’d recommend anyone to get with the Xbox Ally X is a case, and it just so happens that my favorite case is on sale for Black Friday. DBrand’s Killswitch Case for the Xbox Ally X is down to $59 for the basic case, but if you travel, I’d recommend getting the travel kit for $79, which comes with a little travel cover that’ll stop buttons from being pushed in your backpack. This is the case I use on the Xbox Ally X every day, and I’d recommend it to anyone.
If that case is still a little too pricey for you, the excellent JSAux Carrying Case for the Xbox Ally X is also on sale for just $22. That’s more of a carry case rather than something that’s always on the system when you’re playing it, but it’s a great pick if you need something for traveling. It even has slots for MicroSD cards if you really want to carry your entire library with you.
While the Xbox Ally X doesn’t work with physical games like the Nintendo Switch 2, that doesn’t mean you can’t save some cash on games right now. After all, because this is a Windows handheld, every storefront works, so you can take advantage of seasonal sales to pack your PC gaming library.
For instance, Steam is throwing its first ‘Black Friday’ sale ever, even if it is just a reskinned Autumn sale. Some of my favorite games to play on a handheld are included in this sale, like Risk of Rain 2, which is just $8.24 right now. Dark Souls Remastered, which runs like a dream on the Ally X, is down to just $19.99 as well. This isn’t quite at the same scale as Steam’s annual Winter Sale, but there are a ton of cheap games right now.
The Xbox Store is also having a Black Friday sale, where you can get handheld-friendly games like Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake for $35.99 or Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii for $29. Plus, you can always tack on a subscription to PC Game Pass, which remains the most affordable way to get access to the most recent Game Pass games.
It would be nice if the admittedly expensive Xbox Ally X would go on sale for Black Friday, and while it’s unfortunate, that’s probably not going to happen. But, hey, at least you can save some money on all the extra stuff that goes with it – which is good news for everyone that already bought the handheld, too.

A quality chair is arguably one of the most important parts of any gaming setup. They get expensive quickly, but there is relief, thankfully, in the form of Black Friday deals on great chairs like Secretlab's Titan Evo, which has consistently been IGN's top recommendation for most gamers. This is one of the best times of the year to upgrade your setup is here, so don't miss out on a chance to save on a new gaming chair.
Below we've highlighted some of the top gaming chairs we've found on sale right now that we'd actually recommend you buy.
Secretlab Titan Evo has numerous features that make it our top recommendation, including a cold-cure foam mix that provides a perfect balance of support and comfort, a Pebble Seat Base designed to provide ergonomic support that slopes inwards, and more. But it's not the only good chair on sale; we found great deals on others from AndaSeat, Razer, and Logitech.
Take the AndaSeat Kaiser 3, which comes with built-in adjustable lumbar support, swappable magnetic armrest pads and a magnetically attached memory foam head pillow. The chair, available in synthetic leather or linen fabric, features a subdued design that's not far from our favorite office chairs and won't stick out if you happen to hop on a virtual meeting.
One of the cheapest gaming chairs on sale is the TC100 Relaxed from Corsair, a solid budget option that's just over $200. It features both neck and lumbar pillows, as well as adjustible-height, rotating armrests. Our top budget gaming chair pick overall, however, is the Razer Iskur V2 X we reviewed earlier this year. At only $249 during Amazon's Black Friday sale, it has the overall best value for the price tag.
If you're looking for a themed gaming chair instead something neutral, Secretlab has a ton of excellent options on sale as part of its Black Friday sale. You can score discounts on chairs themed after Star Wars, Final Fantasy XIV, Cyberpunk 2077, and more. Check out our favorite picks below.
