Cyber Monday PS5 deals 2022: what can we expect this year?

October 06, 2022 , , , , , , , , , ,

The Cyber Monday PS5 deals will officially take over from their Black Friday brethren on Monday, November 28, 2022. Or will they? As we've seen in recent years, the Cyber Monday PS5 sales actually blend right in with the Black Friday listings that came before. This means that one that weekend in the middle of the two days there's a plethora of offerings to be snapped up, and then the Monday comes and we do it all over again with even more gusto. 

Now, will these Cyber Monday PS5 deals that are still running include the console, I hear you ask. Well, we just don't know. Although general levels of PS5 stock has been decent in the back half of 2022 t this point, a lot of retailers are taking to the approach of putting it behind invitations or times events - that means we could still be in a situation where a retailer or two is planning to 'hold' some stock back to go large during the Cyber Monday period when they know folks are ready and willing to splash the cash on cool stuff. However, what we will say is that the rest of the PS5 hardware landscape is incredibly well-populated now and is set to be rife with deals.

Alongside games - though deals on these are not always truly bombastic - we reckon the best of the Cyber Monday PS5 deals will be on excellent gear like PS5 headsets, PS5 SSDs and PS5 external hard drives, the best TVs for PS5, and PS5 monitors. These kinds of PS5 accessories are the items that are closely aligned with seasonal deals. SSDs and hard drives, particularly, really went off last year.

Until we get to the point of seeing the deals however, we'll be keeping this page updated with some relevant information to prepare you for the event, as well as looking back at last year's sales for some insight.

Check PS5 stock right now

As always, it's never a bad time to check stock if you're still chasing the console itself. Here are the best and most direct quick links to check stock with right now.

When will the Cyber Monday PS5 deals start?

With Black Friday now being a dead cert of a date every year - the Friday after Thanksgiving - we can then easily and clearly say when Cyber Monday will be. And that is Monday November 28 - that's when the cascade of Cyber Monday PS5 deals will start this year. Though, in reality, they might well just roll on from the Black Friday and continue a lot of the same offerings too - which is great!

Where will the best Cyber Monday PS5 deals be?

Aside from saying that we think you're already in the best place to find the Cyber Monday PS5 deals - we will be constantly curating and hunting out the best for you on this very page - it is of course the big players in the retailer game that will be the most reliable for discounts. Here are the best quick links right now at the ever-faithful places to get you going right now.

Cyber Monday PS5 deals in the UK

Samsung 980 PRO | 1TB w/Heatsink | £195.98 at Novatech
Only two left! At long last, the much-coveted Samsung 980 PRO with its brand new heatsink is finally - finally - available in the UK. This is a pretty keen price given it's only just become available and, for comparison, the lowest ever price on the SN850 was around £170 - as a result, this is a good deal for something so premium. It's also available at Amazon but for a heftier investment of around £250.

Turtle Beach Recon 500 | £59.99 £43.99 at Amazon
 Save £16 - Our top PS5 headset of 2021 is down to its lowest ever price, and that makes it a cracking deal for anyone needing to upgrade their audio - and who doesn't mind a wire. Its 60mm drivers deliver supreme audio though, and you can connect it to anything else as well as your PS5.

WD BLACK P50 SSD | 1TB | £240 £197.99 at Amazon
 Save £42 - Our favourite external hard drive for PS5 (and other consoles, really). It's as close as you'll get to an NVMe SSD attached to a USB cable, and its performance demonstrates exactly that.

Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 | £130 £104 at Amazon
 Save £25 - Turtle Beach makes some of the best gaming headsets, and the refresh (hence Gen 2) of the Stealth 700 has proved that again in the past year or so. Brilliant for those looking for some wireless, premium audio. And this is so nearly a lowest ever price too, to make the deal sweeter.

LG OLED C1 4K TV | 48-inch | £1,199 £999 at Currys
 Save £200 - LG returned with some of the top OLED and gaming TVs of 2021 with the C and G ranges, but it's the C1 that caught our eye most given it's slightly lower price tag. This price cut makes it as close to a no-brainer recommendation for anyone looking for a new PS5 TV this year as it gets. Great value.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales | £44.99 £29.99 at Currys
 Save £15 - Spider-Man: Miles Morales took a long time to shake off its RRP after launching alongside the console last year. Currys has changed that, though, and right now you'll find it for £5 less than we've ever seen it before.
View Deal

Sackboy: A Big Adventure | £51.99 £34.99 at Argos
 Save £17 - Sackboy launched alongside the PS5 console last year, but it's taken a while to shed some of its RRP. This is pretty close to the best price we've seen on the burlap lad's latest adventure.
