Black Friday is just around the corner. This year\u2019s huge sale event will be packed with gaming savings across games, consoles and accessories from a huge range of brands and retailers. In this article, we\u2019ll help you cut through the noise and find the best bargains out there during Black Friday 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our experts will have their ears to the ground for the latest deals and stock updates right through the sales period to Cyber Monday 2021 and beyond. If last year\u2019s sales are anything to go by, there will be an amazing range of discounts.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019re on the hunt for a next-gen console, it\u2019s worth bearing in mind that ongoing stock shortages have limited the availability of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. This situation was caused by a global semiconductor shortage and is likely to take a while to resolve. This means that for some consoles, availability is the issue at hand rather than pricing. However \u2013 if you can get hold of one \u2013 there\u2019s still no shortage of games and accessories.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t lose hope either \u2013 if you are on the hunt for a console \u2013 there are one or two interesting alternatives on the market, and we regularly update our PS5 stock<\/a> page to give you the best chance of bagging Sony\u2019s next-gen console.<\/p>\n

Should you wait for Black Friday to buy new games, consoles and accessories?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Ultimately, this depends on what you\u2019re looking for. If it\u2019s a new PS5 or Xbox Series X, it\u2019s a question of buying when there is stock. If it\u2019s games, gaming chairs, displays and other accessories you\u2019re looking for, then Black Friday could be a brilliant opportunity for a discount.<\/p>\n

When can you expect to see games on sale for Black Friday this year?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The seasonal sales are approaching, and this year the big day falls on the 26th of November. Sales then run through until Cyber Monday 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, because of the competitive nature of the sales, we\u2019re likely to see some discounts offered before Black Friday itself. Retailers will be keen to offer discounts in order to attract attention to their sites and away from competitors.<\/p>\n
