GameStop has consistently offered some worthwhile deals for Black Friday. This year’s event should be similar to what we saw last year, with discounts on PS5 and Xbox gear, deals on headsets and controllers, and markdowns on collectibles and apparel. Based on what was offered last year, here’s everything what you can expect, including when to shop and what might be worth grabbing.

Likely Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates & Format

GameStop’s 2025 Black Friday sale will probably begin on Saturday, November 22, 2025, both in stores and online at gamestop.com, based on last year’s start date. They haven’t officially confirmed the ad or start date yet, but this timeline would follow their recent pattern. The full Black Friday ad usually gets released about a week before the sale, giving you a chance to look over what’s coming.

In-store hours can vary depending on your local location, so it’s a good idea to check with your store a few days before the event. GameStop used to open early on Black Friday itself, but more recently, they’ve focused on spreading out the sale starting from the weekend before.

Keep in mind, some deals are typically marked “in-store only,” so you’ll want to watch out for those notes. And remember — everything is while supplies last.

Discount Levels You Can Expect

GameStop’s Black Friday deals are typically a mix of percentage-based discounts and flat dollar amounts. Based on last year’s pricing, here’s a breakdown of the kind of markdowns we might see again:

• Video Games: Starting at $19.99

• PS5 Consoles: Up to $125 off select models

GameStop Pro Member Benefits

GameStop Pro members usually get a few extras during Black Friday. In 2024, this included the ability to stack their 5% discount on top of clearance deals, and sometimes early access to limited-time bundles or drops.

If you’re planning to shop more than once or looking to save across multiple categories, the $25/year membership can pay for itself pretty quickly. But it’s not essential — all the base deals are available to non-members too, unless specifically marked.
