Get an Xbox One S or PlayStation 4 for just $200 at GameStop starting Sunday

Black Friday is later this week, but if you’ve been itching to get your hands on a new game console for cheap, you don’t have to deal with the long lines. GameStop is offering an early Black Friday sale today, and it includes big savings on the Xbox One S and PlayStation 4.

From today through November 26, you can purchase the Xbox One S Minecraft Creators Bundle for $200, a full $100 off its standard price. The bundle includes a 1TB Xbox One S console with a full download of Minecraft, as well as the Creators Pack and Starter Pack DLC and 1,000 Minecoins. As a sandbox and creation game, the possibilities in Minecraft are nearly limitless, making it the perfect first title to play on your new system. Thanks to the Bedrock update, you can also enjoy the game with players on the Nintendo Switch, PC, and even mobile.

Want some games to go along with your system? Several new titles are on sale now, including Forza Horizon 4 for $40, Sea of Thieves for $30, and State of Decay 2 for $20. All three can be played with friends, so make sure you sign up for Xbox Live Gold — a free trial is typically included with new systems.

If you’re in the market for a PlayStation 4 instead, GameStop also has a great deal on that console. You can buy the 1TB PlayStation 4 “slim” model for $200 — also a $100 discount — and GameStop will throw in a copy of Marvel’s Spider-Man for free. It’s one of the best action games of the year, perfectly re-creating the hero’s web-swinging along with snappy, acrobatic combat and a well-written story. It’s also absolutely gorgeous, and if you own an HDR-enabled television, you’re in for a visual treat.

A number of games are going to be on sale at the same time, and if you spend at least $35, you’ll get free shipping on your whole order. Games priced at $40 include God of War and Detroit: Become Human, while Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will be available for just $15. If you’re looking to pick up some extra PS4 controllers to go along with your system, they can be yours for $39 each.

Xbox Games Showcase can succeed where the PlayStation Showcase struggled
Senua stares ahead wearing war paint.

If there’s one video game presentation happening over the next week that has the most to prove, it’s the Xbox Games Showcase. Despite a strong start to the year with Hi-Fi Rush and a solid Developer Direct showcase, Microsoft’s gaming branch has floundered in recent months because of struggles with its acquisition of Activision Blizzard and the rocky launch of Redfall. With the Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct Double Feature, Microsoft must reconfirm its commitment to gaming and to releasing high-quality first-party exclusives.

That said, Xbox is in an excellent position to do just that because of Sony’s underwhelming May showcase. As the first major gaming presentation of the summer, Sony had the chance to “win” the whole game reveal season early with its PlayStation Showcase. Ultimately, that live stream proved disappointing because of its focus on CGI reveal trailers and live service games.

PlayStation VR2’s best launch game isn’t the one you we’re expecting

With the PlayStation VR2 out now, all eyes are on Horizon Call of the Mountain. The action-adventure title is Sony’s first big exclusive for the platform, acting as its tentpole launch title. While it’s a must-buy for anyone picking up the device on day one, it's more successful as a strong technical showcase for the headset rather than as a fun game that stands on its own. If you’re looking for the latter, you’ll want to check out PSVR2’s real hidden weapon: Fantavision 202X.

PlayStation Plus just set a new first-party precedent with Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon: Forbidden West

Sony revealed the games coming to PlayStation Plus Premium and PlayStation Plus Extra this month on February 21, and it's the best month that the service has had since it launched in the summer of 2022. Not only are some great PS1 classics like The Legend of Dragoon and Wild Arms 2 coming to the service, but Horizon Forbbiden West is getting added as well.
Horizon Forbidden West coming to the service one year after launch is a big deal because Sony has been resistant to putting recent first-party PS5 games on its subscription service. While it's still not adding first-party titles on day one like Xbox Game Pass does, this is possibly our first indication of how Sony will handle adding its own games to the subscription. It's not the only PS4 and PS5 title coming to the service this month either, as the following strong lineup of games was also confirmed to be coming on February 21.

The Quarry (PS4, PS5)
Resident Evil VII Biohazard (PS4)
Outriders (PS4, PS5)
Scarlet Nexus (PS4, PS5)
Borderlands 3 (PS4, PS5) 
Tekken 7 (PS4, PS5)
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (PS4)
Earth Defense Force 5 (PS4)
Oninaki (PS4)
Lost Sphear (PS4)
I Am Setsuna (PS4) 
The Forgotten City (PS4, PS5) 
Destroy All Humans! (PS4)
