Standard PS5 console drops to lowest UK price yet in early Black Friday deals

UK retailers are currently offering some of the best PlayStation 5 deals to date.

While Sony has cut the price of the standard, disc model PS5 to £389.99 as part of PlayStation’s Black Friday sale, other retailers are offering bigger savings.

Ahead of Black Friday on November 24, the price of the PS5 standard console has been cut to £379 (the cheapest price we’ve seen for the disc model), while it’s being bundled with a game for just £10 more.

EE and Very are offering the console standalone for £379, while Amazon has it for £379.99 and Game has the PS5 Final Fantasy 16 console bundle available for £389.99.

More widely, the console is being bundled with recent high-profile releases like EA Sports FC 24 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for £399.99.

PS5 has been dominating UK console sales over the past year, and in particular the last six months.

According to GfK data published on GamesIndustry.biz, PS5 accounted for 43% of total console sales over the 12 months ended in October 2023.

And in the past six months, PS5 accounted for over half (51%) of all UK console sales.
