Best Black Friday gaming deals from GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, and more
Has Black Friday ever not been good for gaming deals? Not that we can remember — and this year is definitely going to be par for the course (perhaps even better if we see a lot of restocks on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X). But even if you end up not being able to score a next-gen console this time around, there's still plenty of gaming-related deals to be excited about this Black Friday.
Those deals will be dropping in the form of individual games for cheap, console bundles (we like this Nintendo Switch one a whole lot), accessories for consoles and PCs, plus plenty more. As for those next-gen consoles we mentioned, the only retailer we know that is for sure getting a restock during Black Friday is Best Buy, but we expect that others will follow suit with less advance notice — we'll be sure to keep an eye out and make sure you have the most updated information (UPDATE: We now know that Walmart will also be getting next-gen console restocks at 12 p.m. EST Nov. 19 and 7 p.m. EST on Nov. 25.)
For now, here are the best Black Friday gaming deals that we know of, some of which are already available — we'll be updating this list as the deals keep rolling in, so be sure to check back often.
GAME DEALS:
OUR TOP PICK: Star Wars: Squadrons — $17 (save $23 at GameStop)
If you miss the days of the retro Star Wars dogfighting games, Star Wars: Squadrons was basically made for you. The perfect mix of nostalgia and current-gen elements, Squadrons puts you in the cockpit of your favorite ships from the franchise as you work your way through its exhilarating campaign and high-octane multiplayer battles. Mashable Senior Entertainment Reporter Adam Rosenberg gave the game a glowing review, which you can read here. Star Wars: Squadrons will only be a measly $17 during GameStop's Black Friday event, so that'll be your time to pick it up.
