After weeks of retailers promoting Black Friday deals, we're finally approaching the end of the year's biggest sales period--but it's not over quite yet. Cyber Monday 2020 is here, bringing one last wave of steep discounts before the holidays. While some Black Friday sales are wrapping up today, most retailers have moved on to Cyber Monday already, with sales going live at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy.
Cyber Monday deals tend to be a mixture of recycled Black Friday deals and brand-new ones that retailers have saved for the post-Thanksgiving week. The best Cyber Monday offers are usually one-day-only, so you'll want to check out the big sales at Walmart, GameStop, and other online stores then.
As far as game deals, we're seeing quite a few great discounts on games for PS5/PS4, Xbox One/Series X, and Nintendo Switch this week, some of which are already live and continuing into Cyber Week. Unfortunately, the best Switch game deals may have been Black Friday exclusives--GameStop had several first-party games down to $27, and those are returning to $40 for Cyber Monday. Still, it's a great time to find anything on your wishlist before the holidays.
Though this roundup focuses on physical game deals, most sales happening on digital game storefronts right now cover both Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so you've still got at least another day to take advantage of the deals. Check out some of the top Cyber Monday deals available on Steam, PSN, Xbox Live, the Nintendo eShop, and more below.
Now, let's take a look at the very best Cyber Monday game deals available now and later this week.
