The Best Black Friday Deals We’ve Found for Thanksgiving Day 2025

By Eric November 27, 2025

As the official Black Friday sales kick off, shoppers are met with a plethora of deals that have been rolling out since Thanksgiving. The IGN Deals team has been diligently scouring major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target to curate a list of the best discounts available. This year, shoppers can expect significant savings across various categories, including tech, video games, movies, and toys. Notably, the Nintendo Switch 2 bundle is generating buzz as stock dwindles, while Amazon offers a compelling “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” promotion on a wide selection of 4K movies, books, and vinyl records. Additionally, new subscribers can enjoy three months of Audible for just 99 cents, along with a $20 credit.

The deals span several product categories, with standout offers in video games, Apple products, LEGO sets, and 4K Blu-rays. For gamers, the PlayStation 5 is particularly well-represented this year, with discounts on popular games and accessories, while Xbox deals, though not as extensive, still provide solid savings. Apple enthusiasts can find discounts on a range of devices, excluding the iPhone 17, with special promotions set for the Apple Store starting tomorrow. LEGO fans can also rejoice, as many sought-after sets are on sale ahead of the official LEGO Black Friday event. Furthermore, the market for 4K Blu-rays is thriving, with recent releases and classic trilogies available at unbeatable prices.

As shoppers navigate the Black Friday landscape, it’s essential to remain strategic. Setting a budget, creating a shopping list, and comparing prices across retailers can help ensure that consumers get the best deals without overspending. While many discounts will carry over into Cyber Monday, shoppers should be aware that online deals will dominate that day, particularly at retailers like Best Buy, which will offer both in-store and online discounts. For those looking to stay updated on the latest offers, following the IGN Deals team and signing up for their newsletter can provide valuable insights into the best shopping opportunities available this season.

built this set back in September
when it first came out and it’s absolutely awesome. There are also a ton of LEGO sets set to retire soon that are seeing final disocunts before they’re gone.
Note
: We’re expecting more LEGO deals to drop tomorrow when the official
LEGO Black Friday sale begins
.

best times of the year to buy 4K
and
Blu-ray discs
and that’s on full display this year. There’s recent releases, like the
new Superman movie
, that have dropped all the way down to only $12.49. You can also get full trilogies like The Lord of the Rings or the Harry Potter movies for surprisingly cheap.
PC Gaming Deals
If you’re looking for PC gaming hardware deals, our Commerce Manager
Eric Song
has been actively looking for the best discounts all week long. There are some great prices available for PCs and gaming laptops equipped with the latest GPUs as well as massive discounts on gaming monitors. Here are the best deals we’ve found for each category in 2025 so far:
Gaming PCs
Some of the best discounts are on hardware direct from Lenovo and Dell, both of which are currently having their own sales. You can also find some surprisingly low prices at Walmart and Best Buy for
iBuypower
and CyberPowerPC gaming rigs.
Gaming Laptops
Similar to gaming PCs, almost all of the best discount here are direct from the manufacturer’s own Black Friday sale. The Dell sale has the Alienware 16 Aurora for under $1,000 and Razer has
the 2025 Razer Blade 14 down to its lowest price
ever as well. There’s also some good discounts from HP, Walmart, Lenovo, and Best Buy worth checking out.
Gaming Monitors
There are quite a few gaming monitors available, with some prominent Alienware options available directly from Dell. LG Ultragear monitors are seeing some solid price reductions across various retailers, and there are som
good budget monitor options
available on Amazon. Some of our favorite gaming monitors are included in this sale.
Gaming Chairs
We’ve found some pretty solid Black Friday gaming chair deals so far this year on some of IGN’s top-reviewed gaming chairs. Our top pick, in terms of overall value, is the
Razer Iskur V2 X
. It’s the best budget chair and is discounted an extra $50 on top of that. Both Secretlab and Andaseat also have their sales live and you can save a decent chunk of change there as well.
TV Deals
While we expect thee to be
more Black Friday deals tomorrow
and through to Cyber Monday, there are a lot of great options available right now, especially if you’re looking for a
good gaming TV
. You can get a 77-inch LG TV for under $2,000 and receive a free soundbar right now when you buy directly through LG. There are also a handful of discounts at Best Buy and Walmart on some truly massive televisions.
Headphone Deals
The Black Friday deals on headphones are as good as it gets this year. You can currently get the latest pair of Apple AirPods for only $69, and even the recently released AirPods Pro 3 are getting discounted. For over-ear headphones, there’s the Beats Studio Pro headphones that have dropped to only $150. And for top of the line, there’s the new
Sony WH-1000XM6
headphones now at the lowest price we’ve ever seen (outside of used models).
Streaming Deals
All of the best streaming deals are now live for Black Friday, and our
streaming expert Blythe Dujardin
has been tracking them all. The most popular deal is the
Disney and Hulu bundle
, which drops the price down to $4.99 per month for an entire year. There are also discounts on standalone subscriptions like
Crunchyroll
,
Apple TV
, and
HBO Max
that are definitely worth checking out. For anyone looking for a sports streaming option, Disney also still has the discount available on the
ESPN Unlimited bundle
as well.
Board Game Deals
There are some really good board games on sale right now, with a spread of deals on
family board games
and modern classics. The latest edition of
Catan is only $24.99
and a must-have for anyone starting a board game collection. There’s also classics like Sorry! and Connect 4 selling for only $5 each.
Book Deals
There are a lot of individual books on sale, but the best overall book deal right now is Amazon’s buy 2, get 1 free sale. Most notably, this
sale includes popular box sets
like The Lord of the Rings books and Harry Potter. It’s worth diving into the sale yourself and just searching for the books you’d want.
When Do Black Friday Sales End?
Black Friday start dates were pretty scattered this year, but the actual end of the sale is the same for pretty much every retailer. Black Friday sales end when Cyber Monday sales begin. That means you have until November 30 to shop the deals before the inevitable switchover to Cyber Monday happens on December 1. There are a lot of similarities between
Black Friday and Cyber Monday
, but you can expect exclusive new deals for each sale.
Cyber Monday Deals Begin on December 1
It’s true that a lot of the discounts will be the same on
Cyber Monday
as they were during Black Friday, but you can expect one major difference: Cyber Monday deals will mostly be online. Brick-and-morter locations like Target and Costco will only be offering these deals online. The exception to that rule is Best Buy, which will have discounts both in stores and online that day.
Tips for Black Friday Shopping Online
It may seem silly to start planning your Black Friday shopping right now, but doing so can help you save a lot of money when it comes time to actually start making purchases. Here are a few
Black Friday tips
that you should consider ahead of the event:
Set a Budget
– Keeping track of how much money you can actually spend is important to avoid overspending. When everything is on sale, it can be easy to buy more than you really should just because things are at their lowest price of the year.
Create a Shopping List
– Knowing exactly what you’re trying to find discounts on is a great way to avoid making unnecessary purchases. It can also make it easier for you to compare prices between retailers or set price drop alerts ahead of time.
Compare Prices
– Retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart make it really easy to do all of your shopping there. That being said, those retailers don’t
always
have the best price on the items you’re looking for. Make sure to compare prices across the web before you buy something for more than you have to.
Research Before You Buy
– If you’re making an expensive purchase, make sure you do at least some research before you buy it. This means looking for
independent reviews
or testimony from trusted sources about those products. You shouldn’t necessarily trust Amazon reviews, for example.
Be Wary of Search Results and AI Summaries
– Search platforms, such as Google, have a tendency to be flooded with sponsored links in the results as well as AI summaries that are potentially biased. Be careful to avoid clicking on a sponsored ad if you’re looking for reviews or searching for specific products by price.
