I've been doing this for 18 years and these are the Black Friday PC gaming deals I'm into right now

Anticipation continues to build as gamers are eagerly awaiting updates on the forthcoming Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. In the meantime, the base game is currently available at a discounted price in the UK. Select retailers are offering the game for a reduced rate of at least £29.99, a noteworthy markdown from the £49.99 RRP. Given the expansive nature of the game, this discount should be deemed substantial, particularly when contrasted with the potential £69.99 price tag that other publishers might command for a similar gaming experience in 2023.

I was genuinely surprised to see this RTX 4070 gaming laptop still available for less than a grand—then super-surprised to see that it was even cheaper today. Okay, so another $20 off the already excellent discount price isn't exactly earth-shattering, but damn, a proper RTX 4070 gaming laptop for just $980?

You can add a disc drive to the PS5 Slim Digital.

Imagine this: A roaring fire, neutral hues on every wall, plants hanging all around you, and books galore. This is the cottagecore dream, and this Black Friday it can become a reality. I've been off looking for the most cottagecore gaming gear and accessories so you can get the aesthetic in your study this deals season.

Every Christmas, my family refuses to believe that all I really want is a gift card for the PlayStation store or Nintendo E-Shop. A present needs to be more than an envelope or a voucher code, they tell me. Now don't get me wrong, the presents they end up getting me are lovely, and I'm always grateful to receive them, but I don't think they realize that a wallet top-up so I can get a hold of the games I've missed throughout the year is quite honestly the best Christmas present I could ask for.

Here's my best pick of the Nintendo switch accessories for Black Friday 2023 under $25. You know, it's been a great year for the system thanks to awesome new games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, and so many more. That means it's likely that there's plenty of new Switch owners out there right now looking for some great quality accessories that won't rupture a hole in your bank balance. 

You won’t find Baldur’s Gate 3 on sale this Black Friday. And yet, we believe it’s still one of the best video game deals this holiday season. Across the Polygon team, we’ve collectively put hundreds — if not thousands — of hours into the CRPG. Considering the current bleak forecast for big video game releases in 2024, we expect to invest a few thousand more.

Alienware Aurora R16 | Core i7 13700F | RTX 4070 Ti | 16GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB SSD | $1,949.99$1,749.99 at Dell (save $200) You can score an RTX 4070 Ti PC for less than this, though usually with an older CPU than the Core i7 13700F here. This Alienware delivers a rather modern package, with a Raptor Lake processor (13th Gen, not 14th Gen, but that's fine), a big enough boot drive at 1TB, and a 1000W PSU. It's also liquid cooled and comes with two sticks of DDR5 memory.

I’ve been keeping my eye firmly on Black Friday gaming PC deals all week, and I’ve just spotted an Alienware rig that’s well worth considering. While you’ll find plenty of Aurora R15 builds with RTX 4060 and RTX 4080 graphics cards within, Amazon has got a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti build that’s down to its lowest price. If you’re itching to get your hands on a machine that can provide 1440p max settings in the latest games and dabble with 4K, this might be the system for you.

It's rough to search for PC swagger on a budget—even on Black Friday. We've got some killer Black Friday deals, sure, but that doesn't make the spending anxiety any less real, especially when your wallet's thinner than usual. Luckily for you, I've found a couple of great steals for under $500. Don't say uncle Harvey never gave you anything.

As Black Friday 2023 rages on and the pandemic and supply-chain induced price spike for all things PC related all but fades from memory, I can't help but notice some good deals on gaming monitors. Some very good deals, indeed.

Call of Duty Black Friday deals are surprisingly rare, but when we find one, it's incredibly exciting. Sure, Modern Warfare 3 didn't get the best reviews this year, but that's not going to stop hoards of people buying it. If it's your guilty pleasure, let that guilt slip away and consider this amazing Black Friday deal. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is currently down to just £51.96 when using code BUYBETTER20 at eBay via The Game Collection Outlet. You need to be signed into an eBay account to redeem the offer.
