The PlayStation 5 is the hottest console on the market and retailers have been regularly struggling to meet the demand. It remains hard to find a console, but some stores, including Walmart, will have restocks for Cyber Monday on November 29. 

Even if you can't snag a PS5, there are still plenty of deals to be found on PlayStation games and other accessories ahead of Cyber Monday . There are solid discounts on PlayStation exclusives like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Deathloop, sales on accessories like wireless headsets, and deals on subscriptions like PSN Plus.

Below, we rounded up the best PlayStation deals we've found so far. Be sure to refresh this page throughout Cyber Monday as we'll be updating it with all the latest discounts.

The best Cyber Monday PlayStation deals

PlayStation console Cyber Monday deals

It's extremely difficult to get a hold of a PlayStation 5, and Cyber Monday won't make it any easier. Walmart+ and Amazon Prime subscribers have received early access to PS5 sales from those retailers, while Best Buy and Target continue to use their standard online purchasing process.

The next PlayStation 5 restock will be available at Walmart's online store on November 29. Walmart+ members can access the sale at 12 p.m. ET. You need to have a paid membership to access the restock, so free trials to Walmart+ are not eligible.

New PlayStation 4 consoles are also relatively hard to find, and even pre-owned PS4s sell for $280 or more at GameStop. If you can't buy a PS5, we recommend investing in an Xbox Series S or Nintendo Switch for $300 instead of picking up an older PS4.

Though there are no discounts on PlayStation consoles right now, we recommend checking the stores listed below to see if PS5 stock gets added on Cyber Monday.

The PlayStation 5 offers the best console gaming experience thanks to its next-gen hardware, exclusives, and 4K Blu-ray drive. Note: The PS5 remains sold out at most retailers but stores do offer new stock on occasion.

More inventory for the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition is still being added to select retailers, though exact days and times aren't always announced.

Cyber Monday deals on PlayStation games

It's been a big year for PlayStation games, with the PS5 getting a full year's worth of exclusive games under its belt and quite a few new games capable of pushing the PS4 to the limit. During Black Friday and during the lead-up to Cyber Monday we're seeing healthy discounts on games that were released just a few weeks ago, like Call of Duty Vanguard and NBA 2K22. 

Some of the best PS5 games of the year are on sale too, like Deathloop and Resident Evil Village. Keep in mind that some games will give you the ability to upgrade from the PS4 to PS5 version after purchase, but the upgrade process may vary depending on the game. Typically, digital purchases are easier to upgrade, and many of these games are also discounted in the PlayStation store, though prices may vary.

Designed specifically for PS5, this shooter offers impressive graphics and fast-moving gameplay. The sci-fi story can take 30 or more hours to complete, drawing inspiration from movies like "Alien."

"Resident Evil Village" is a must-play for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X owners thanks to its unmatched graphics and tight gameplay.

The latest iteration in Ubisoft’s open-world first person shooter sets players loose on a Caribbean island to try and take down the regime of a dictator played by actor Giancarlo Esposito, from “Breaking Bad” and “The Mandalorian.” The game also supports online co-op play with another player.

The follow-up to the widely beloved Spider-Man, this game follows Miles Morales as he follows in the footsteps of his mentor.

Other PlayStation Cyber Monday deals and gift ideas

With the PlayStation 5 being so hard to find right now, it's a bit difficult to invest in accessories for the long term. Luckily there are quite a few accessories that will work for both PS4 and PS5, like wireless headsets.

PSN Plus, the subscription service needed to play most PlayStation games online, is available at a discount too. One year of PSN Plus normally costs $60, but you can buy a 12-month gift card for $40, and it will add time to any existing subscription.

PlayStation Cyber Monday FAQs

Will PlayStation 5 restocks be available on Cyber Monday?

Some retailers have restocked the PS5 during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping season, but stock remains extremely limited and sales have been exclusively online. Walmart is letting Walmart+ members get first access to PS5 restocks, while Amazon is prioritizing Amazon Prime members.

The next confirmed PlayStation 5 restock will go live at Walmart's online store on November 29. Walmart+ members will get access to the sale at 12 p.m. ET. You need to have a paid membership to access the sale.

Should I buy the all-digital PlayStation 5 or the standard version?

If given the chance, you should buy whichever version of the PS5 is available when you can. If you don't already have a collection of PS4 games on disc, you might appreciate the $100 savings from buying the all-digital console. However, having a Blu-ray player and being able to trade and share physical games is always nice. Ultimately, both versions of the PS5 function exactly the same, outside of the disc drive.
