Black Friday is like a holiday for gamers and those shopping for them, as it brings some of the year’s steepest discounts on the hottest games of 2024, along with deals on controllers, gaming gift cards, and sometimes even consoles. Although the main deals kick off early on November 29, retailers are already rolling out many great offers — and when we say early, we mean right now. We’ve gathered a comprehensive list of the best early Black Friday deals to cover everything from board games to electronics, but this roundup focuses specifically on gaming.
