In addition, existing PlayStation Plus subscribers who wish to upgrade from PlayStation Plus Essential/Extra to PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe will also be able to save 33% on the remainder of their membership.

If you have been saving up for PlayStation merchandise, PlayStation has announced a site-wide discount on PlayStation Gear for Black Friday. This is a great time to purchase that PlayStation jacket or Helldivers t-shirt, considering the PlayStation Gear website is being shut down next month.

Black Friday is also a great time to expand your game library, as several titles will be discounted. PlayStation has revealed that hundreds of PS4 and PS5 titles will be discounted starting on November 21. Titles such as Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Lost Soul Aside, Astro Bot, and God of War Ragnarök will be available at discounted prices.
