PlayStation Store Black Friday Sale Starts 4 November With Up to 75% Off

PlayStation Store's Black Friday sale starts on Wednesday 4 November, more than three weeks before Black Friday itself, and runs until Monday 30 November. Sony says thousands of PS5, PS4 and PS VR2 games, expansions and DLC will be discounted by up to 75%.

Update, 10 November: the sale is live and the headline games now have prices. On the US PlayStation Store, 007 First Light Deluxe Edition is half price at $39.99 and God of War Ragnarök is 58% off at $29.39, but every headline offer below ends on 20 November, so don't wait for Black Friday week. Sony warns that deals and percentages differ by region.

The dates that matter

• Starts: 4 November at 00:00 in Sony's regional time zones (PST, GMT or JST)
• New deals: the sale refreshes on 16 November, when some offers are replaced with new ones
• Some deals end early: certain discounts finish on 20 November at 23:59, so check a game's store page for its end date
• Ends: 30 November at 23:59

If a game you want is in the first wave, it's worth checking its end date before waiting for Black Friday week.
