We are once again expecting Walmart to include the PlayStation 5 as a headline item in its main Black Friday 2025 sale. This means the console (Slim model, digital and/or with disc drive) will show up in bundles, with extra controllers or games mixed in. There will also be discounts on accessories (controllers, headsets, storage), and perhaps last-year or lightly older games thrown into bundles. Stock will be limited, especially for the best deals, so things may sell out fast.

Also, Walmart usually gives early access to Walmart+ members for some deals before the official start. That means if you are a member you’ll have a better shot at PS5 deals before the general public.

When the Sale Will Likely Happen

• The online sale will probably begin Monday, November 24, 2025 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time / 2:00 PM Pacific at walmart.com.

• Walmart+ members will possibly get a head-start online at 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT that same day.

• The in-store deals will likely begin on Friday, November 28, 2025.

• The official ad (showing exact bundles, prices, etc.) should drop a few days before, likely Friday, November 21, 2025.

These dates are based on past patterns, including last year and announcements, so there may be small shifts, but this is a good guide.

Discount Levels to Expect

From what we saw last year and what industry watchers are saying, here are realistic discount ranges:

• PS5 Slim (Disc Edition): Expect somewhere between $75-$100 off the regular price in a good bundle. In 2024, for example, Walmart had disc edition bundles dropped from about $499 to around $424 in some cases.

• PS5 Digital Edition: Might drop more, since MSRP is lower. Last year the digital version in a Fortnite bundle was about $374 (roughly $75 off its standard bundle price).

• Controllers: DualSense controllers tend to fall in price by $15-25 depending on color or edition.

• Bundles with games: These can add value; if you buy a PS5 with a new, popular game, the bundle might cost more up front but you save compared to buying both separately. Might save $50-$80 in some bundles.

• Accessories/headsets/storage: Discounts here can vary widely; sometimes 20-40% off, depending on how old or popular the item is.

You’ll find a number of deals on accessories for your PS5 at Amazon’s Black Friday sale this year. It’s always worth comparing the sale prices you come across to those available right now at Amazon (note, as an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases).
