PlayStation Store Black Friday Sale 2026: Dates, 75% Off

Sony's PlayStation Store Black Friday sale runs from Wednesday 4 November to Monday 30 November 2026, with discounts of up to 75% across thousands of PS5, PS4 and PS VR2 games, expansions and DLC. Sony announced it on PlayStation.Blog on 3 November. The start is 17 days earlier than last year's sale, and so far it covers software only: Sony's post has no console, accessory or PlayStation Plus offers.

What Sony has confirmed

Sony says the full list of games and the discounts will appear on PlayStation Store once the sale opens, so the percentages are not known yet. The post carries a caveat that the promotion and the size of each discount "may differ by region". It also warns that some deals will be replaced mid-sale, so a price you see on one day may not be there on another.

The dates below are Sony's own, written as 00:00 or 23:59 "PST/GMT/JST". Sony does not say whether that is one moment or midnight in each region. Our reading is that each region switches at its own local midnight, which would put the opening between 15:00 UTC on 3 November (Japan) and 08:00 UTC on 4 November (US West Coast), with the GMT start at 00:00 UTC (7:00 pm ET on 3 November). Treat that as our interpretation, not a Sony statement.

Which games are named

Sony published "a small preview" of the titles. VGC's list of the headline names includes Marvel's Wolverine, Astro Bot, Pragmata, 007 First Light, The Blood of Dawnwalker, Silent Hill: Townfall, NBA 2K27, UFC 6, Valheim, Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, Echoes of Aincrad, Beast of Reincarnation, Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition, Saros, Mortal Shell II and The Sinking City 2. VGC notes that Wolverine and Dawnwalker launched in September and Silent Hill: Townfall last month, so some of the sale is recent releases.

9to5Toys reproduced a much longer alphabetical list of several hundred titles from the preview, including God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Silent Hill f, Nioh 3, Mafia: The Old Country, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition and indie hits such as Balatro. A name on the list means a discount is planned, not what the price will be. GTA VI is not in the lists we could check.

How it compares with 2025

Sony's 2025 announcement was a single hardware-and-software campaign that started on 21 November. This year Sony is splitting it: the software sale comes first, and hardware, accessory and subscription offers have not been mentioned.

The wording matters for expectations. Sony's 2025 post named hardware discounts up front; the 2026 post does not mention hardware at all, and VGC points out that console prices have been rising this year. We have no confirmation either way, so any PS5, PS5 Pro or PS VR2 deal should be checked against the official prices on our Black Friday 2026 console price guide, which lists what each console costs today.

What is not confirmed

Sony has not published individual prices, the share of the catalogue that gets the full 75%, or which deals leave on 20 November. It has not said whether PS Plus, PS5 hardware or accessory discounts will follow. Last year those arrived around the time the main promotion began, so they may come later in November, but that is a pattern, not a promise.

Before you buy

Digital purchases on the PlayStation Store need free space as well as money. If your internal drive is short, our guides to playing PS5 games from USB storage and installing games on PS5 explain what an external drive can and cannot do. Keep room for Grand Theft Auto VI too: its pre-load, which opens on 10 November, needs up to 212 GB, as covered in our GTA VI file size guide. If you pre-ordered something and change your mind, see how to cancel a PS Store pre-order for a refund.

Sony's sale shows regional prices in each local store, so the percentage off will not be identical everywhere. For readers in India, prices appear in rupees on the Indian store; we have not checked which regional start time that store follows. Console details and current prices are on our PlayStation 5 page.

How this was made: drafted with AI assistance from the sources listed below, with the dates checked against Sony's PlayStation Blog posts on 4 November 2026 (IST). We have not tested the store pages, and individual prices will only be visible once the sale is live in your region.
