Black Friday lands on November 27 this year, and the sales are already creeping in. Here’s what we’d put in the cart: the biggest games of the past year, the accessories that are actually worth upgrading, and the gear for anyone spending the holidays in training mode.

We list what’s worth buying, not what’s cheapest on the day: prices move every few hours over the holiday weekend, so hit “Check price” for the current one before you buy. We’ll update this list as the deals change.

Switch 2 games

The Switch 2’s first full holiday season brings its first big batch of discounts. Physical copies tend to drop furthest at big retailers; these are the ones we’d pick up first.

PS5 and Xbox games

This year’s heavy hitters are old enough to see their first real price cuts. Resident Evil Requiem and 007 First Light are the ones we’d jump on.

Controllers and storage

If you bought a Switch 2 and you’re already deleting games to make room: it only takes microSD Express cards. Older microSD cards won’t work for games. A sale is the best time to grab one.

A few tips before you buy

  • Check the seller. On Amazon, look for “Ships from and sold by Amazon” or the publisher’s own store. Third-party listings sometimes ask more than the list price over the holidays.
  • Physical vs. digital. Some Switch 2 releases ship as a “game-key card”, a cartridge that only unlocks a download. That’s fine if you have the storage; check the box if you want the full game on the cart.
  • Skip the key resellers. Unofficial key sites can sell revoked or region-locked keys, and the developers see none of the money. We only link official stores.
