11 can’t miss Playstation Black Friday discounts if GTA 6 isn’t for you
Black Friday may not be until November 27, but PlayStation has already launched its Black Friday sale on the PlayStation Store with all included deals running until November 20.
The sale includes thousands of deals across PS5, PS4, and PS VR2 titles, with something for all tastes and budgets.
You can’t mention November without bringing up Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar Games’ behemoth launches on November 19 and while you won’t find a discount on that title here, you may find an alternative play.
You see, GTA VI isn’t going to be for everyone, with some perhaps simply waiting for the game to drop in price.

If you don’t plan on visiting Leonida later this month, here are 11 games we wholeheartedly recommend that have unmissable deals in the current PlayStation Black Friday sale.
Little Nightmares I & II Bundle (PS4 & PS5) - Now £13.49/$14.99, Was £44.99/$49.99
Little Nightmares I & II Bundle is too good to pass up on, with an enormous 70 percent discount. The bundle includes, as the title suggests, both Little Nightmares I and Little Nightmare II, both developed by Tarsier Studios.
The recent Little Nightmares III, developed by Supermassive Games, lacked some of the magic of Tarsier’s classics, so our recommendation is to go back to where it all began. These cozy horror icons see you navigate child protagonists through unsettling, cruel worlds with gameplay consisting of platforming and puzzle solving. They’re family-friendly enough for certified scaredy cats, and both are single-player games.
Valheim (PS5), Now £19.99/$23.99, Was £24.99/$29.99
There’s no better time to try out Valheim given that Iron Gate Studio’s acclaimed survival title finally departed early access in September of this year, launching its 1.0 build. Valheim spent almost six years in early access, so it’s certainly perfected and refined its formula over the years.
Playable solo or with friends, Valheim is set in a Viking-inspired afterlife where players simply build, battle, and explore. It’s the perfect sandbox, with the Norse inspirations certainly sure to appeal to God of War fans, even if the gameplay is an entirely different kettle of fish.
007 First Light - Deluxe Edition (PS5), Now £34.99/$39.99, Was £69.99/$79.99
007 First Light is one of 2026’s very best releases, most definitely earning its place as a GOTY contender. Here at GAMINGbible, we awarded the title a score of nine in our review, writing, “007 First Light is an exquisite taste of slick spy action and blockbuster storytelling, and is fully what a Bond game should be, but rarely is.”
Developed by IO Interactive, 007 First Light is a near-perfect origin story for James Bond, with its gameplay formula unexpectedly filling the gap left behind in the industry by the absence of Uncharted. The Deluxe Edition nets you bonus outfits and weapon skins and at 50 percent off, it’s a steal.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PS4 & PS5), Now £19.79/$25.19, Was £59.99/$59.99
Sackboy: A Big Adventure is easily one of PlayStation’s most underrated console exclusives in recent years, although it did eventually land on PC two years after its 2020 launch. It’s your classic 3D platformer, with players running, swinging, jumping, and gliding their way through an array of creative and unique levels.
If you play the title on PS5, it takes full advantage of the DualSense controller’s features. There are also some great co-op levels if you want to play with a friend, although the game is predominantly single-player. The highlight: a selection of platforming rhythm levels to songs like ‘Uptown Funk’, ‘Let’s Dance’, ‘Toxic’, and more. Pure whimsy and joy.
The Quarry - Deluxe Edition (PS4 & PS5), Now £7.49/$7.99, Was £74.99/$79.99
You can currently save a huge 90 percent on The Quarry - Deluxe Edition - and we’d argue that it was one of 2022’s most underrated games. The Quarry hasn’t quite received the same cult classic status of Supermassive Games’ former release Until Dawn, but it’s just as good.
The Quarry sees a group of teens terrorised by bloodthirsty werewolves after they rebel and stay at a summer camp following their last day as counsellers, contrary to advice. It features all of Supermassive’s classic traits, including branching decisions, quick-time events, and a ‘don’t breath’ mechanic.
With stellar graphics and a banging soundtrack, it’s a must-play, even if you don’t normally like horror. The Deluxe Edition nets you bonus character outfits, instant access to the death rewind system, a visual filter pack, and an additional Movie Mode setting.
Phasmophobia (PS4 & PS5), Now £10.84/$13.99, Was £15.49/$19.99
If you’re looking for something to play with friends, Phasmophobia is it and while the game is a little creepy, it’s good fun for all tastes as your bravery will be bolstered by the presence of your friends - or you can simply camp out as the van princess and watch your friends slowly lose their sanity.
Kinetic Games’ co-op horror sees players visit haunted houses where they must use tools to acquire clues and correctly identify the right ghost. Of course, the ghost usually isn’t very friendly and will try to unsettle you or kill you should you be caught. The dev team is constantly updating the game with new maps and rebuilds of old favourites. It’s a solid title to keep coming back to.
Cairn (PS5), Now £17.49/$20.99, Was £24.99/$29.99
Cairn is another GOTY contender for 2026, although perhaps one that might’ve flown under the radar for many gamers. It sees you guide a climber up a mountain, but the game features no UI, so you’re tasked with paying close attention so you don’t over exert your climber. Managing tiredness, injury, and hunger is just as important as the climb itself.
GAMINGbible’s Olly Smith awarded the game a perfect score of 10 in our review, writing, “Cairn has now become one of my favourite games of all time. I absolutely love the game’s reactive climbing mechanics, the tough-but-fair difficulty, and its entire presentation is simply gorgeous.”
Kena: Bridge of Spirits (PS4 & PS5), Now £13.19/$15.99, Was £32.99/$39.99
Kena: Bridge of Spirits is another game you’re going to want to play sooner rather than later as after a short delay, its sequel is due to arrive in 2027, Kena: Scars of Kosmora. Developed by Ember Labs, Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a brilliant must-play of a game, even if its formula is a little unusual.
On the surface, Kena: Bridge of Spirits evokes the charm of a Pixar or Studio Ghibli film. The platforming and exploration aspects of the title evoke fond memories of the PS2 era while the boss fights feel lifted straight out of Dark Souls, although don’t be put off by that. There are difficulty options. It’s really quite unlike anything else and we can’t wait to see where Ember Labs takes Kena next.
Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4), Now £3.99/$4.99, Was £15.99/$19.99
Having originally launched in 2015, there’s a good chance you’ve already played Rocksteady’s all-time great Batman: Arkham Knight. With a whopping 75 percent discount though, this deal is too good not to highlight for those yet to jump on the bandwagon.
If you enjoyed this year’s LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, it actually took a lot of inspiration from Batman: Arkham Knight. Yes, Rocksteady’s game isn’t quite so funny or family friendly, but you should feel at home with Arkham Knight’s gameplay systems. It’s one of, if not the, best superhero game of all-time - and it now costs less than the price of a coffee.
Spyro Reginated Trilogy (PS4), Now £12.24/$13.99, Was £34.99/$39.99
This is yet another one you’re going to want to catch up on. Spyro returns in 2027 with Spryo: A Realm Beyond, so you should use this as an opportunity to replay - or play for the first time - the franchise’s first three games.
Yes, you’re getting three games in one here with this bundle consisting of Spyro The Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. The trilogy perfectly combines 3D platforming gameplay with light combat, with the remastered visuals infusing new life into this childhood favourite that oozes nostalgia.
PowerWash Simulator 2 (PS5), Now £14.99/$18.74, Was £19.99/$24.99
PowerWash Simulator 2 is the game you don’t know you need in your life. It might not be your usual thing, but once you’ve jetwashed a dirty park clean, you’ll see why its formula is so moreish.
FuturLab has struck gold with this simple but effective formula, and it helps that the game boasts a ton of awesome crossovers. A Barbie themed DLC is on the way in December, but you can already get hands on with Star Wars and Adventure Time expansions which also happen to be on sale. PowerWash Simulator 2 - Star Wars Pack is £6.79/$8.49, down from £7.99/$9.99 while PowerWash Simulator 2 - Adventure Time Pack is £5.51/$6.70, down from £6.49/$7.99.
