PlayStation 4's Best Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2018 Deals
Black Friday 2018 is gone but not forgotten, as the vast majority of deals on PS4 consoles, games, and accessories are still available to take advantage of, and Cyber Monday deals are rearing up to replace them. We've already compiled all of these deals, spanning retailers like GameStop, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, but this gallery is designed to bring together what we think are the best of those deals all in one place, making it easier for you to pick out what you want and get it.
If you're eager to start shopping, the PSN Black Friday sale is live, and the PS4 Spider-Man bundle that will be on sale seemingly everywhere is discounted to $200 in a lot of cases. We thought Fallout 76 wasn't going to be on sale, which would be no surprise considering it only just released, but it turns out that it will go for $35.
PlayStation has seen more acclaimed triple-A console exclusives this year than Xbox, and many of them are on sale this Black Friday. This includes games released earlier in the year--like Detroit: Become Human and God of War--as well as more recent titles. Like last year, the PS4 Slim is also being sold at a discounted price, but surprisingly there are fewer deals for the more powerful PS4 Pro.
This Cyber Monday, third-party titles are also on sale, like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey. PSVR is also getting a discount, and with the recent release of Tetris Effect and upcoming addition of Beat Saber to the system's game library, there's never been such a good time to invest in a headset.
Specific pricing on some deals may fluctuate depending on where you choose to shop this year. We've listed all the discounted prices for each product at each store, so you can have a back-up plans. We will update this gallery if better deals become available.

PlayStation 4 Consoles
There are currently two versions of the PS4 console being sold in stores, the Slim and the Pro. The Slim is essentially a thinner variation of the original PS4, while the Pro is a more powerful console that can support 4K for certain games.
Most of the Black Friday deals on the PS4 Slim have evaporated, but there are still a few deals out there if you can snag them before they're sold out. If you do decide to go for a PS4 Pro, regardless if it's on sale or not, consider taking advantage of a Black Friday deal on a TV or computer monitor that supports 4K. It really makes a difference with games like God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man.
PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB and Spider-Man
PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB
- $320 -- Google Express (with code CM18)
PlayStation VR
VR hasn't been able to reach as many people as some other forms of gaming tech, most likely because of the high price tag and lack of quality games. However, PSVR library's now includes titles like Tetris Effect--one of the best games of 2018--and Beat Saber. Plus, you save $100 if you decide to buy a PSVR bundle from Best Buy or Target this Black Friday.
There's an even cheaper PSVR bundle at Walmart if you don't want Creed: Rise to Glory and Superhot VR, two games that come included in the bundle at Best Buy and Target.
PlayStation VR Bundle with Camera and Move Controllers + Creed: Rise to Glory and Superhot VR
PlayStation VR Astro Bot and Moss Bundle
Detroit: Become Human
In our Detroit: Become Human review, Peter Brown gave the game a 7/10, writing, "I played with my best intentions. Things didn't always go the way I wanted, but that was a burden I chose to bear, and the story benefitted from my commitment, flowcharts be damned."
This PS4 exclusive currently sells for $40 on the PlayStation Store, and while the game was seriously discounted on Black Friday, most of those deals are over. Walmart's Black Friday price persists--$25, the best deal on Cyber Monday. You can also take advantage of Target's 15% off sale for Cyber Monday, which applies to Detroit, bringing the price down to $33. If you happen to miss out on this deal, both Target and Walmart also have a fairly large discount on the game.
Doom VFR
In our Doom VFR review, Justin Clark gave the game a 7/10, writing, "For the most part, shooting your way through Hell's armies feels just as brutal as it does in the 2016 game. Demons explode into bloody, fleshy messes. ...The big missing element here is the Glory Kill system, where hitting the melee button on a blinking enemy let you demolish them with a quick, gruesome fatality."
In Doom VFR, you experience the pulse-pounding first-person shooter action of one of 2016's best shooters in an immersive VR experience. The game at a discount but the sales end with Cyber Monday, so hurry on over if you're looking for another title for your PSVR.
Dragon Ball FighterZ
In our Dragon Ball FighterZ review, Peter Brown gave the game a 9/10, writing, "FighterZ is complex and distinct enough to be enjoyed by fighting game competitors, but there's no question that it's been designed to tap into the hearts of Dragon Ball's most dedicated fans, and no doubt those same qualities will win people over who've never given the series a chance."
The Black Friday sales on Dragon Ball FighterZ are over for the most part, unfortunately, but you can still grab the game for $20 at Gamestop.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes Of An Elusive Age
In our Dragon Quest XI: Echoes Of An Elusive Age review, Heidi Kemps gave the game a 9/10, writing, "Innovation in games is talked about a lot, but it's also great to see traditional gameplay formulas that have been around for decades presented exceptionally well. Dragon Quest XI is one of the best modern examples of this; its beautiful presentation, both visual- and story-wise, combines with a tried-and-true gameplay formula for a journey that’s full of heart and soul."
You can purchase Dragon Quest XI from Best Buy at half price through Cyber Monday, which is quite the deal for one of 2018's longest and best RPGs. Target has the game down to $35 with another $5.25 knocked off for its Cyber Monday sale, which makes it slightly cheaper than Best Buy's price.
F1 2018
In our F1 2018 review, James Swinbanks gave the game a 9/10, writing, "F1 2018 is brilliant, and the most complete Formula One game to date. The changes to career mode make it the strongest and most appealing it’s ever been thanks to the revamped upgrade system, while the simulation-like additions to the driving model bring you closer than ever to the feeling of sitting on the grid with 1000+ horsepower at your feet, without overwhelming those who just want to jump in and drive."
Just as Xbox One has Forza Horizon 4, PS4 has F1 2018. Both racing games are on sale this Black Friday, and Best Buy and Target are offering the latter at half price. With Target's Cyber Monday sale, you can save another four bucks.
God Of War (2018)
In our God of War review, Peter Brown gave the game a 9/10, writing, "In many ways God of War is what the series has always been. It's a spectacular action game with epic set pieces, big-budget production values, and hard-hitting combat that grows more feverish and impressive as you progress. What may surprise you is how mature its storytelling has become."
God of War continues Kratos story in one of the most well-written video games of 2018, and its major discounts persist through Cyber Monday.
MLB The Show 18
In our MLB The Show 18 review, Eddie Makuch gave the game a 9/10, writing, "Sony's flagship baseball franchise has never been better. With its best-in-class controls and visuals, and impeccable attention to detail for the small stuff, MLB The Show 18 is worth catching for any baseball fan."
If you haven't gotten the chance to play the newest title in the MLB The Show series, Walmart is offering the game at a major discount through Cyber Monday. Target's Cyber Monday sale also affords some additional savings.
Monster Hunter World
In our Monster Hunter World review, Ginny Woo gave the game an 8/10, writing, "Ever since the title was first announced, it was clear that Capcom was gunning for something grander than Monster Hunter Generations. It has succeeded, and this is likely the biggest and best that the franchise has ever been."
Monster Hunter World brought a new generation of players into the Monster Hunter series, with its accessible gameplay. If you've ever wanted to play a Monster Hunter game, then try World. It's on sale through Cyber Monday at a fraction of its normal price.
Nier: Automata
In our Nier: Automata review, Miguel Concepcion gave the game a 9/10, writing, "Thanks to Platinum Games' knack for riveting and gratifying combat, Automata is Yoko Taro's most exciting game to date. The combat mechanics click after hurdling a low learning curve, and the end result is a skillful dance where balletic dodges complement wushu-inspired aggression."
The less you've been told about Nier: Automata before going into it, the better. Just know that this phenomenal 2017 RPG is on sale this Cyber Monday at Best Buy and Gamestop.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2019
In our Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 review, Richard Wakeling gave the game a 9/10, writing, "The lack of licences for top-tier leagues remains a disheartening sticking point, but PES continues to make brilliant strides on the pitch, building on what was already an incredibly satisfying game of football to produce one of the greatest playing football games of all time."
If you're tired of FIFA and Rocket League, but still want to play a soccer video game, then these Cyber Monday deals on PES 2019 might interest you.
Shining Resonance Refrain
Shining Resonance Refrain originally released on PS3 in Japan, before coming to the west on current generation consoles and PC. The game mixes together action-based combat and relationship forming conversations.
If you're at least interested in Refrain, but are wary of paying full price for something you've heard little about, then take advantage of these Cyber Monday deals on the game.
SoulCalibur VI
In our SoulCalibur VI review, Tamoor Hussain gave the game an 8/10, writing, "SoulCalibur VI is a fighting game that's easy to recommend. Like all the best titles in the genre, it has a low barrier to entry and high skill ceiling. For those looking to get in a few games with friends it's welcoming and immediately enjoyable. For those committed to ploughing the depths of its systems to get tournament ready, it has plenty to unpack and understand."
You can buy SoulCalibur VI for almost half off this Cyber Monday, with a little more thanks to Target's Cyber Monday sale.
PlayStation Plus
For Black Friday, Best Buy is selling a 12-month subscription to PlayStation Plus for $40, which is one of the lowest prices the service is sold at these days. Subscribing to PS Plus both allows you to play games online with others and provides you with new free digital games to download every month.
Fallout 76
Fallout 76 is the series' first foray into online multiplayer. It's a major shift for the franchise, as this is an online-only game. The critical reception has not been especially warm, but regardless, those interested will be able to pick it up for cheap despite it having only just released last week.
PS4
Marvel's Spider-Man
There aren't many in the way of discounts for Spider-Man PS4--the PlayStation exclusive mostly appeared in hardware bundles this holiday season to encourage fans to pick up the PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim. Still, it's a game you shouldn't miss in 2018. Edmond Tran wrote in his review that Spider-Man is "a fantastic experience that completely absorbs you into its unique slice of the Marvel universe."
You can take advantage of Target's 15%-off Cyber Monday sale to lessen the sting of paying full price for Spider-Man, which knocks $9 off the price. It's also on sale at Amazon.
Tetris Effect
Tetris Effect is another game so new that it isn't seeing much in the way of discounts for Cyber Monday. The game, which supports both standard TVs and PlayStation VR, is worth your attention, though. In his review, Pete Brown wrote, "Give Tetris Effect your complete, undivided attention, and you'll form a sympathetic bond to the notes and puzzle pieces alike and lose yourself in the flurry of color and energy that permeates every stage."
You can take advantage of Target's Cyber Monday 15%-off sale to knock the price of Tetris Effect down a few bucks.
$34 -- Target
