We Rounded Up the Best Early Black Friday Gaming Deals We Found So Far. Save up to 42% on Editor-Tested Favorites.

2 min readBlack Friday gaming deals are already starting to surface. Right now, you can save $30 on the Switch 2—a rare deal. Select games and accessories are up to 42% off, too. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are always a great time to reinvigorate your gaming setup. Outside of the usual stellar Black Friday TV deals, I’d consider the holiday markdowns on consoles, video games, and gaming accessories a close second. We’re still a little ways away from the blockbuster day-of sales, but we’re already seeing some pretty insane markdowns a couple of weeks out. Right now, you can save up to 42 percent on Switch 2 games, wireless gaming headsets, controllers, and more. You can even nab the rarely marked-down Nintendo Switch 2 console for $30 off, which is always a win.I broke down some of my favorite early gaming deals so far, so you can get ahead of the holiday shopping craze. You should probably bookmark this page, though—the deals are only going to get better from here on out, and I’ll be updating it regularly. We’re only just getting started here, folks.Black Friday Console and Game DealsThe standout deal so far is $30 off the Switch 2 console, bringing it closer to its initial retail price of $450. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the device on sale outside of a tentpole savings event, so based on that alone, it’s worth grabbing. Select Switch 2 games are also marked down considerably, including 41 percent off the latest NBA 2K27 and 42 percent off No Sleep For Kaname. If you’re shopping for the kiddos, the Amazon-exclusive Junior Super Mario Edition Monopoly Board Game is also nearly 40 percent off and makes a perfect holiday gift.Black Friday Gaming Accessory DealsGaming accessories are probably the better buy this early in the game, and there are already significant savings. This GTPLAYER Gaming chair is nearly 40 percent off and under $100—a rarity in this economy. I also found a couple of editor favorites from one of our favorite gaming brands, SteelSeries. Right now, you can save nearly 30 percent on the Arctis Nova 5 Wireless Multi-System Gaming Headset and over 20 percent on the highly responsive Apex 5 Hybrid Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. Both are great entry-level options for those looking to upgrade to a more competitive setup. And just for kicks—the viral Pokémon Pikachu Puppetronic from Jazwares is also on early discount and is now 40 percent off. I’d still consider that in the realm of “gaming.”Tim Kohut is the Deals and Trends Editor for Popular Mechanics, Men’s Health, Best Products, and Runner's World.
