As the holiday season approaches, gamers and those buying for gaming enthusiasts are in for a treat — Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to snag 2024’s top games at bargain prices, along with deals on controllers, game cards, and sometimes even consoles. Though the official Black Friday deals won’t commence until the early hours of November 29, many retailers have made a habit of unveiling their discounts ahead of time. In fact, some exciting offers are already live. We’ve gathered an extensive list of these early Black Friday treasures, covering everything from board games and books to various electronics. But here, we’re all about gaming.
Whether you’re coming back to update your wish list or checking these out for the first time, you’ll find some fantastic new offers. Notable among them are first-ever Black Friday reductions on Nintendo Switch consoles and first-party accessories, such as Joy-Cons and the Switch Pro controller, plus significant price drops on top Switch titles. Take “Tears of the Kingdom,” for instance, which is slashed to just $30 in digital form at Walmart — that’s a sweet 50% cut. Meanwhile, over at Best Buy, the Asus ROG Ally X is priced at $100 for the first time, and with the Meta Quest 3S, you get a $75 gift card bonus. Don’t miss the Genki Covert Dock 2, ideal for the Switch and Steam Deck, or the shiny 27-inch QHD OLED gaming monitor from Asus.
