As the holiday season approaches, Black Friday emerges as a shining beacon for gamers and those buying for them, offering unbeatable discounts on 2024’s hottest games, controllers, gaming gift cards, and even sometimes on consoles. Traditionally, Black Friday deals kick off just before dawn on November 29, but these days, retailers love to jump the gun, rolling out their deals well in advance—sometimes as early as now. We’ve put together a comprehensive list of the best early Black Friday deals, spanning various categories, like board games and electronics, but this one’s all about gaming.
