The Best Black Friday Deals in Games for 2021
Even though it’s been a year since the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S came out, it’s still no easier to actually get your hands on either than it was at launch. Supply chain issues have continued to impact production of all consoles, including the new Nintendo Switch OLED and the ever-popular original and Lite versions, and so the console bundle deals you’d typically see during Black Friday just aren’t there this year. If you already own one of those systems, though, you’ll find widespread discounts on games for all three at most major retailers.
Discounts on Deathloop and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
The best game deals you’ll find across the board are for recent releases like Deathloop and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. You’ll find the PlayStation 5 exclusive Deathloop for $30 off at a variety of retailers, and the multi-platform Guardians also $30 cheaper on both the Xbox and the PlayStation. Given how recently they were released, how good both of them are, and the lack of bundles for the new consoles, getting $30 off either of these games is probably the best deal you’ll find this week.
Nintendo Switch Black Friday Deals
Games published by Nintendo rarely ever go on sale, but you’ll find many discounted this week at various retailers. Best Buy, whose main Nintendo Black Friday page conveniently includes links at the very top to different pages that filter out based on price point, is a good place to find deals on games like Paper Mario: The Origami King, Super Mario Maker 2, and more.

GameStop’s discounts on Switch games can go as high as 60%, although don’t expect that on most titles. Also, when searching their site for deals, make sure you select the “New” box under Condition, so you don’t wind up seeing “pre-owned” games that are only one or two bucks less than a brand new one.

Target has discounts on a variety of Switch games new and old. Most games are from $5 to $20 off, although you can find major discounts on some titles—at $15 Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, for example, is $45 off its standard retail price.

Walmart also has discounts on most Switch games, and actually beats Target by exactly 99 cents on that Mario + Rabbids deal. They’re also selling Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, the cool little Mario Kart spinoff with an actual remote control car, at a 50% discount—it’s $50 instead of $99.
