TL;DR – DualSense Black Friday Deals

DualSense Special Edition controllers for $59.99

If you’ve been eyeing special edition Chroma DualSense controllers, now’s the time to grab them. These models typically retail for $79.99, which means the Black Friday price of $59.99 immediately results in a $20 discount considering they were released just a few weeks ago.

The fact that we are getting a deal on these variants so quickly is great news. Additionally, there are also deals on the Volcanic Red and Sterling Silver controllers. Please note: Popular colors and special editions often sell out during major sales, so acting quickly is your best bet to secure your preferred design.

DualSense controllers for $54.99 (save $20)

This is why the deal isn’t getting any better

If you think back to Black Friday last year, you may remember that DualSense controllers were actually $5 cheaper during the sale season, at $49.

There’s a good reason why they’re not that cheap this year, and that’s simply because Sony quietly raised the price by $5 this year. But it’s not unusual for retailers like Walmart and Best Buy to undercut the price, so we’ll also keep an eye on any additional discounts.
