Playstation Store

Black Friday deals can get chaotic, but as a PS5 owner, this is the one time of year I actually get excited about the deals. Not just for the savings, but because this is when I finally commit to the games that truly deserve my time and attention. If you are building your must-play list or just want one great reason to switch your console back on, these three PS5 games deserve a spot in your library.

Silent Hill 2 – $50 $30

Silent Hill 2 is the kind of horror that gets inside your head, and I felt that from the very first walk through the fog. The remake nails that eerie quiet where you hear nothing but your footsteps and the distant crackle of static. I love how the game makes me sit with the tension instead of pushing me forward. Even simple hallway exploration feels like a test of nerves at times. Combat is clumsy in a way that feels intentional, almost human. If you want a horror game that stays with you even after you turn off your PS5, this is the one I recommend.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – $70 $50

When I plunged into Death Stranding 2: On the Beach on my PS5, I was hooked from the first hour. I am drawn to it because it does not feel like a typical action game. The world feels vast and unpredictable, with terrain hazards and enemies that force you to plan each move carefully. The improved combat and smoother traversal add weight to every delivery run. I appreciate how the story feels heavier as each mission carries real emotional stakes, and the feeling of connection and isolation hits harder than before, making this sequel one of the most immersive games I’ve played.

God of War Ragnarok – $70 $20

In my opinion, God of Ragnarok is one of the most complete games on PS5. The way the sun cuts through snow-covered trees, how snow crunches under my boots, makes the world feel alive. Combat is brutal in the best way. Every swing of the Leviathan Axe, every crash of the Blades of Chaos, hits with weight, letting me feel the fury. I found myself exploring ruins and forests long after the main fight was over, drawn in by lore and secrets. What truly grabbed me was the story. The bond between Kratos and Atreus is raw and real, and their relationship gives every fight purpose.

No matter which one you choose to buy this Black Friday, each of these games will remind you why owning a PS5 still feels special.

AMD is quietly building a frame generation mode that beats Nvidia at its own game
AMD's next frame generation trick might make your GPU pump out seven extra frames for free.
AMD RX 7800

AMD has been hinting at Multi-Frame Generation for its Radeon cards for a while now, and it looks like the company is further along than it has let on. Preliminary support quietly showed up in the ADLX FidelityFX SDK back in April with the FSR Redstone update, letting users pick a frame generation ratio for the best mix of performance and image quality.

Since then, AMD has shipped several big driver updates, including FSR 4.1.1. As reported by Wccftech, a user on the Chiphell forums used a tool called RadeonTuner to dig through the Adrenalin 26.6.2 WHQL drivers and found options AMD has not talked about publicly. RadeonTuner is a cleaner, more user-friendly take on the Adrenalin software, and it can surface features that live inside the driver but never appear in the official app.

I wouldn’t have recommended this Nintendo Switch 2 accessory before, but this deal changes everything
Nintendo Switch 2

Buying a Nintendo Switch 2 isn't exactly cheap these days, especially after Nintendo's recent US price adjustments. That's why it's refreshing to see one of the console's accessories getting an unexpectedly deep discount.

If you've ignored the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera because it seemed overpriced, now might be the perfect time to take another look. GameStop has slashed the accessory to just $10, a huge drop from its regular $55 asking price. That's roughly 82% off, making it one of the best Switch 2 deals we've seen in a while. To put that into perspective, the camera now costs less than many Switch 2 carrying cases or screen protectors. At this price, it's much easier to take a chance on an accessory you may have skipped at launch.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc
Santa Monica Studio quietly confirmed the upcoming adventure won't be download-only.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release
