Best Buy’s Official 2025 Black Friday Sale Is Now Live, and Includes Some Incredible Discounts
Best Buy has officially launched its highly anticipated Black Friday sale, running from November 20 to November 29, 2023. This year’s event promises an extensive array of discounts on popular electronics and gaming products, with many deals expected to extend into Cyber Monday, which takes place from November 30 to December 1. Shoppers can expect significant markdowns on items such as 4K TVs, laptops, and gaming consoles. For instance, PlayStation enthusiasts can take advantage of $100 off PS5 consoles, alongside discounts on DualSense controllers and a variety of games, including recently released titles like “Silent Hill f” and “Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater,” both available for $49.99 after a $20 discount.
In addition to the tech deals, Best Buy is also offering enticing Doorbuster deals, particularly for Plus and Total members who can earn a $5 bonus reward for every $50 spent on eligible items. This includes substantial savings on popular EA Sports titles such as “FC 26” and “Madden NFL 26.” For those interested in virtual reality, the Meta Quest 3S is now priced at $249 for the 128GB model and $329.99 for the 256GB version, each purchase coming with a $50 gift card—perfect for gamers looking to dive into new VR experiences like the upcoming “Deadpool VR” game. LEGO enthusiasts will find standout sets like the Bumblebee Transformers and Fortnite Peely Bones set, both of which are available at their lowest prices yet.
As the holiday shopping season heats up, it’s essential to keep an eye on competing retailers like Walmart and Amazon, who are also launching their Black Friday sales. Walmart’s event kicks off on November 25, while Amazon’s discounts began on the same day as Best Buy’s. With major players like PlayStation and Xbox rolling out their own deals, and Nintendo’s Black Friday sale set to start on November 23, shoppers are encouraged to act quickly to secure the best prices. Best Buy will also host a Last-Minute Savings event from December 15 to 24, but with the potential for shipping delays and crowded stores, taking advantage of these early sales is advisable.

After weeks of teasing us with its collection of Doorbuster deals,
Best Buy has finally kicked off its
proper
Black Friday sale
, with all the big discounts you’d expect, alongside a few handy surprises as well.
Best Buy’s official sale runs from November 20–29, and will likely carry most of its deals to the Cyber Monday sale from November 30–December 1 as well.
I’ll leave some of my favorite deals in the sale just below, but it’s totally worth having a proper gander through
Best Buy’s full sale to ensure you don’t miss a thing
. There are discounts on 4K TVs, laptops, games, tech, and a whole lot more.
PlayStation’s Black Friday sale also just kicked off
, so there’s a whole bunch of new gaming goodies up for grabs in the sale at
Best Buy now as well
. That includes
$100 off PS5 consoles
,
$20 off DualSense controllers
, and a
whole bunch of games
discounted as well.
Discounts on recently released Konami games are another highlight, including
Silent Hill f
and
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
, both $20 off and down to $49.99 in the sales.
It’s worth checking out
Best Buy’s Doorbuster deals as well
, especially if you’re a Plus or Total member. Members get a $5 bonus reward for every $50 spent on Doorbusters, up to $25.
That includes $40 off EA Sports games, such as FC 26, Madden NFL 26, College Football 26, and more.
While it’s already been live for a few days, it’s also still worth mentioning that the
Meta Quest 3S 128GB model
has dropped to $249, while the
256GB
is down to $329.99.
On top of that,
Best Buy is throwing in a bonus $50 gift card
with your purchase of either headset. Great for those who are
looking to play the new Deadpool VR game
or Batman: Arkham Shadow.
LEGO is among the other killer deals
that are already available already at Best Buy. You can check out the
full sale here
, but the two biggest sets to consider for any LEGO aficionados out there are the Bumblebee Transformers set and the Fortnite Peely Bones set.
The Bumblebee set is great because you can actually transform it from robot to car form without having to take it apart and rebuild it. It’s also the lowest price we’ve seen yet. And it’s a killer set – just check out our experience
building it
.
If you’re hunting for toys in general, you should also keep an eye on
Walmart
. Its Black Friday sale starts November 25, and that’s usually when the bigger toy markdowns show up. In short, don’t panic about the empty shelves yet on other toys and LEGO, more deals are scheduled to hit next week.
Best Buy 2025 Black Friday Schedule
Amazon also kicked off its proper Black Friday sales from November 20
, so we can expect a lot of price matching going on between the two big retailers in the run up to Black Friday proper on November 28.
With PlayStation and
Xbox’s deals also now live
, the next big sale push will be from
Nintendo
, with its official Black Friday sale kicking off November 23.
Basically, don’t hold your breath for any meaningful Switch game discounts before that date.
If you miss the window in November, Best Buy will roll out its Last-Minute Savings event from December 15 to 24. Sure, it’s an option, but you’re better off wrapping things up earlier.
Stores get packed, deliveries get sketchy, and leaving it that late is asking for trouble.
