Get ready, PlayStation fans. The most wonderful time of the year for gamers is just around the corner, and if a new leak is to be believed, Sony is preparing an avalanche of deals that could make this Black Friday 2025 the best one yet to join the PS5 ecosystem or upgrade your existing setup.
The intel comes from the notoriously accurate leaker @billbil_kun, who has a stellar track record for predicting PlayStation pricing and promotions. According to their latest report, players in both Europe and the United States can expect significant savings on everything from consoles to premium controllers.
The Headliner: Unprecedented PS5 Console Discounts in Europe
While we already knew about the Fortnite bundles, it seems Sony has much bigger plans for Black Friday, at least across the pond. The leak points to a widespread price assault on the entire PS5 family starting around November 21st.
Here’s the breakdown of the expected discounts for Europe:
- PS5 Console (Disc Edition): A €100 price cut, reducing the cost from €549 to €449.
- PS5 Pro Console: A matching €100 discount, bringing the premium console down from a hefty €799 to a more palatable €699.
- PS5 Console (Digital Edition): The biggest discount of all. A massive €150 price cut is expected, slashing the price from €499 to an incredibly attractive €349. This is a particularly welcome move, as it more than compensates for the recent price hike the digital model saw in the region.
This strategic pricing makes the digital edition an undeniable bargain for gamers who are all-in on the digital marketplace.
As highlighted in their comprehensive report on Dealabs, these deals are also expected to apply to console bundles, meaning the upcoming PS5 Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle and others should see similar dramatic price reductions.
What About the United States?
For readers in the US, don't feel left out. The leak also contains some promising information for North America. While a similar across-the-board price cut on standalone consoles hasn't been specified for the US market yet, the Fortnite PS5 Standard Bundles are expected to receive a $100 discount.
This would bring the standard disc edition bundle down to $449.99 and the digital edition bundle to $399.99. Furthermore, if Sony's past behavior with events like Days of Play is any indication, it's highly likely that similar, if not identical, console discounts will make their way to the US.
Don't Forget the Controllers: DualSense Deals Incoming
A next-gen console is nothing without a great controller, and it seems Sony wants to ensure you have a spare—or maybe even upgrade to the pro model. The same leak suggests we'll see excellent deals on controllers as well.

According to a follow-up tweet from @billbil_kun, the standard DualSense wireless controller is in line for a €20 discount, while the high-end DualSense Edge, a favorite among serious gamers for its customization and back buttons, could see a €30 price drop.
These discounts are expected to originate on the official PlayStation Store, but as is common during Black Friday, major retailers will likely stack their own promotions on top, potentially driving the final price even lower for shoppers.
A Sweetener for VR Fans
In a final piece of exciting news for European gamers, the leak also mentions a potential €100 discount on the PS VR2. This would provide a significant boost to the premium virtual reality headset's accessibility, opening the door for more players to experience titles like Horizon Call of the Mountain.
The Bottom Line
While Sony has yet to officially announce its Black Friday 2025 promotions, the source's credibility makes these leaks difficult to ignore. For anyone who has been waiting for the perfect moment to buy a PS5, upgrade to the more powerful PS5 Pro, or invest in a premium controller or VR headset, holding out until the third week of November could lead to substantial savings.
Mark your calendars for November 21st and keep your eyes peeled for official confirmation from Sony. This Black Friday is shaping up to be a playground for PlayStation enthusiasts.
