Polygon’s best Black Friday 2021 gaming deals will show you where to get the discounts on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC gaming hardware and accessories, TVs, and gaming monitors. We’ve compiled the best deals from retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and more.

Finding deals during Black Friday 2021 can be a bit of a challenge this holiday season. Last year’s shortage of brand new consoles hasn’t improved at all since we reported on it in 2020. While we’ve been tracking where you can buy a brand new Nintendo Switch OLED, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X, you may have better luck buying accessories for those consoles.

For PC gamers looking for accessories and gaming monitors, you’ll do well this year. The same goes for anyone looking to buy a brand new gaming TV.

Below are some of the best Black Friday 2021 gaming deals we could find this year.
