What can we expect from PS5 Cyber Monday deals in 2021? We’re rounding up all the early offers and everything you need to know.
Last year, PS5 Cyber Monday deals were hard to find, with the majority of discounts available on accessories, games, and storage solutions for Sony’s new console. We didn’t see any deals on the PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, which wasn’t surprising considering they only came out a few weeks before Black Friday and Cyber Monday took place. It also proved difficult to find any consoles in stock, too, which looks to be a reoccurring theme this year. Unfortunately, even 12 months on, demand remains astronomically high for the PS5, as consoles continue to fly off the digital shelves as soon as they appear. But could things be any different for Cyber Monday 2021? To be honest, we think it’s going to be a mixed bag. When Cyber Monday gets underway on November 29, those of you who are lucky enough to own the console already will have a great opportunity to expand your collection of PS5 games and PS5 accessories, both of which are likely to go on sale. Those still searching for a console will likely still struggle, however, and we can almost guarantee that there will be no discounts on the PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition. Of course, there’s still time between now and Cyber Monday to snag yourself a PS5. No matter your region, PS5 restocks still crop up every now and then at retailers like Best Buy and Walmart in the US, and Game in the UK. It can be a real challenge to secure a PS5 console still, but if you’re up for it, you should check out our handy guide on where to buy a PS5. While the console might prove elusive, then, we certainly expect there to be plenty of PS5 games and accessories on sale during Cyber Monday 2021. PS5 games can often veer on the expensive side, costing around $70 / £60 at launch, which is why you want a PS5 Cyber Monday deal or two to bring the price down. Cyber Monday could also be an apt time for you to build up a collection of PS4 games to play on your PS5. The PS4’s vast library is largely playable on PS5 thanks to backwards compatibility, with some PS4 accessories also being useable on Sony’s newest machine, like the best gaming headsets.
