Best PS5 Cyber Monday deals
Sony's PlayStation 5 just got crowned as our gaming hardware product of the year for 2023, so it's an amazing time to pick one up - and there's a new slim version to get, too.
Sony PlayStation 5 Slim
This bundles the new version of Sony's console with the simply superb Spider-Man 2, a brand-new release that you get at no extra cost, making this a great way to jump into the world of PS5 gaming.
Sony PlayStation 5 Slim
If you prefer shooting to superhero action, then you can get the exact same price for the newer PS5 console bundled with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, again the latest release making for a really good saving.
Best Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday deals
The Switch is a brilliant console, and with three different versions to pick from we're sure to see some great deals this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For now, it's the Switch Lite that has the pick of the bunch.
Nintendo Switch Lite - Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bundle
This is a brand-new bundle for Black Friday and Cyber Monday from Nintendo - New Horizons is such a brilliantly zen game, endlessly calming and soothing, so to get it completely free alongside the excellent Switch Lite is a real treat.
Nintendo Switch OLED
The Switch OLED is the best version of the Nintendo Switch - and this deal from Dell (of all places) gives you a $75 gift card at no extra cost, so it's a great option if you need some other computing bits.
Nintendo Switch OLED
If you'd rather get a gaming bonus with your Switch OLED, this bundle throws in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at no extra cost, along with three months of Nintendo Switch Online, a great bargain.
Best Xbox Cyber Monday deals
If you're more of an Xbox gamer, there's already a choice saving that you can grab on the Xbox Series X, as you'll see below.
Xbox Series X Diablo 4 Bundle
If you're into Diablo then Diablo 4 is a treat - and it's also really new, so it's a brilliant game to get bundled in with an Xbox Series X at more than $100 in total savings.
Microsoft Xbox Series S
This starter bundle for the Xbox Series S is a really great way to get into this console generation for way less money, and at under $250 it represents pretty tremendous value. You get 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate into the bargain, too.
WD_Black C50 Expansion Card for Xbox
If you want more storage for your Xbox Series X or S (and you probably will) this is the best value you're going to find for an extra 1TB of space. It's a welcome Black Friday and Cyber Monday discount of $25.
Best gaming accessory Cyber Monday deals
Of course, it's not all consoles - there are plenty of deals to be had on accessories like headsets, extra controllers or much more.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7
A simply fantastic headset for PlayStation or PC gamers, this is one of our favourites ever, and it's got a really nice Black Friday and Cyber Monday discount to take advantage of.
PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller
If you need a new controller to go with your PS5, or just want an extra to swap to when the battery runs out, you can currently get a very welcome discount on a range of colors.
PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller
A great alternative to Nintendo's own wireless controller, PowerA's offering is really sturdy and reliable, and thanks to this nice deal it's also a good chunk cheaper.
Meta Quest 2
The 128GB Meta Quest 2 deal from Amazon comes with a $50 Amazon Gift Card, so this deal is a double win for those wanting a VR headset.
Logitech G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals
There's 30% off the Logitech G923 racing wheel, bringing it down to its lowest price. There are discounts on both the PS5 and Xbox versions - and both work with PC too.
What you should know about shopping for gaming hardware on Cyber Monday
Which console should I buy?
If you're not yet sure of which console you actually want, there's plenty of deliberation to do. For us, the PS5 is the top choice right now with the combination of future-proof power and a roster of existing games that are simply fantastic.
However, thanks to Xbox Game Pass, the Xbox Series X or Series S are both really attractive too, with many of the same cross-platform games and a really easy way to access a big library at a low monthly cost.
Of course, there's always the Switch, too - a brilliant family console that is now coming toward the end of its life cycle, but still has a huge roster of amazing exclusive games to offer.
So, the truth is any of these would be a great buy, and there's no wrong answer if you see a good deal.
Should I buy a console on Cyber Monday?
That brings us to the question of the deals we're seeing, of course. We always get some console deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but it's quite rare to see more than around $50 off a console - making this year's slate of deals pretty impressive.
We haven't yet had a repeat of last year's stunning $200 Xbox Series S, but with modest deals on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, alongside some solid Nintendo Switch bundles, things are looking solid at the moment.
Still, any sort of discount is worth grabbing if you're waiting to buy a console this year, so it's definitely still a very sensible time to buy, especially as Cyber Monday is coming to a close, we can confidently say the deals won't get any better.
