Major PS5 Price Cuts Incoming for Black Friday 2025
British gamers planning to buy a PlayStation 5 for Christmas should delay their purchase until late November, according to new leaks from a trusted industry insider. Substantial temporary price reductions are expected to hit all PS5 models across Europe, including the UK, making this the perfect opportunity for bargain hunters.
The Leaked Discount Details
According to renowned leaker billbil-kun from Dealabs, whose retail predictions have proven remarkably accurate in the past, Sony will implement significant price cuts starting November 21, 2025. This strategic timing positions the discounts perfectly for Black Friday, which falls on November 28 this year.
The price reductions will affect all current PlayStation 5 models available in the market:
- PlayStation 5 Standard Edition: Reduced to approximately £379.99 (down from £479.99)
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition: Slashed to around £279.99 (down from £429.99)
- PlayStation 5 Pro: Discounted to roughly £599.99 (down from £699.99)
These projected UK prices represent savings of £100 on the standard model, a substantial £150 reduction for the digital version, and £100 off the premium PS5 Pro.
A Welcome Reversal After Years of Price Increases
This news comes as particularly welcome relief for British consumers who have watched PlayStation 5 prices climb steadily since the console's launch five years ago. When Sony first released the PS5 in 2020, the standard version retailed at £449.99 while the digital edition cost £359.99.
Rather than becoming more affordable over time, both models have seen multiple price hikes. The digital edition now typically costs £429.99, while the standard version with disc drive has risen to £479.99. Despite these increases, Sony's recent earnings reports show strong sales performance, with current figures exceeding those from a year ago.
Special Fortnite Bundle Also Included
The Black Friday discounts won't be limited to standalone consoles. Dealabs also reports that the newly announced Fortnite Flowering Chaos bundle will receive the same price reductions when it launches on November 22.
This special package includes either a standard or digital edition PlayStation 5 alongside multiple Fortnite cosmetic items and 1,000 V-Bucks for the game's in-game store. Crucially, the bundle versions are expected to cost no more than the discounted consoles alone, representing exceptional value for Fortnite enthusiasts.
While these price cuts are anticipated to be temporary rather than permanent, they present a golden opportunity for early Christmas shoppers to secure a PlayStation 5 at its most affordable price point in years. Given billbil-kun's impeccable track record with retail leaks, UK gamers would be wise to mark November 21 in their calendars.
