Now that Black Friday is only a couple of weeks away, retailers such as Best Buy are now gearing up for the upcoming holiday season. Like Black Friday in previous years, players should expect tons of video game deals from most major retailers, and some of them will even have stocks of the highly coveted PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Among all the major retailers that will host Black Friday sales this year, Best Buy remains one of the top choices, given that the store also offers video game consoles and accessories apart from games themselves. Now, here is a comprehensive list of everything players should know ahead of Black Friday, including key dates, which games will go on sale, and how to acquire the PS5 or Xbox Series X during the holiday.
Is Best Buy Having A Black Friday Sale?
Yes, given that Best Buy is one of the major retailers leading Black Friday sales, it will offer almost everything in its store at a discount on Black Friday. However, players should note that Best Buy will not only hold a sale during the actual holiday, but it will also open a couple of smaller promotions before Black Friday. Now, here are all the key data that players should know. It’s worth noting that dates and times may change at Best Buy’s discretion.

Is Best Buy’s Deals Available Online?
Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Best Buy is one of the retailers that will transition a good number of its Black Friday deals online. However, Best Buy will also be open on November 27 for the actual Black Friday event for those who prefer heading into stores. Buyers should also remember that to reduce the number of people flocking stores on Black Friday, some of Best Buy’s deals will only be offered online. Buyers should check the Best Buy Black Friday Ad to see which deals are exclusive online before heading to the store during the holiday.

For the PS4, players should expect heavy hitters such as The Last of Us 2, Watch Dogs Legion, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. While the Xbox One deals are mostly similar to that of the PS4, Best Buy is also offering Xbox exclusive games such as Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5, Gears Tactics, and even a membership to the Xbox Game Pass. Meanwhile, Switch games will include first-party titles such as Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Mario Tennis Aces, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Splatoon 2, and more.

Best Buy: How To Get The PS5 and Xbox Series X on Black Friday?
Luckily for those unable to snag a PS5 and Xbox Series X at launch, Best Buy is offering players another chance to get their hands on these next-generation consoles. However, it is important to remember that Best Buy will not offer the PS5 and Xbox Series X in-stores, and they will only be available to purchase online. Given that both the PS5 and Xbox Series X are in high-demand right now, buyers should expect that stocks will go fast, which is why it is important to have everything needed to make a purchase, such as payment details. Unfortunately, Best Buy did not mention a specific time when the next-gen consoles will go live online, so players should check the store’s website as early as possible.
