Black Friday 2018: best gaming deals

Black Friday 2018 is upon us and it seems like the whole internet is on sale. Just about every major manufacturers and retailer is offering some of the biggest discounts of the year (except for Nintendo, of course).

If you’re looking for discounts on consoles, the standout deal this year is the PlayStation 4 bundle with Spider-Man for $199.99. You’ll save $100 off the console, plus get the $60 game thrown in for free. Microsoft is offering a similar deal with the Xbox One S 1 TB Minecraft Creators bundle, which includes a copy of Minecraft plus some Minecraft DLC. Update: The Spider-Man bundle is sold out

The only new Switch deal is on a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle, which will save you about $60 off the racing game. It will be released on Black Friday at all major retailers, but Best Buy and Walmart have already set up landing pages for the bundle.

We’ll be rounding up these and many, many more gaming deals in the lead up to Black Friday through to Cyber Monday and beyond. Most deals start on Black Friday itself, though some, like the PS4 and Xbox One console bundles, are available now. Check our coverage of individual retailers for when specific deals will drop.

This post will be updated throughout the week with pricing updates or when products sell out. We’ll also be tweeting highlights over at @PolygonDeals.
