PlayStation Black Friday wave two: PS Plus and DualSense

The second wave of PlayStation Black Friday starts on November 16. Sony's updated official Black Friday post confirms deals on PS Plus memberships, DualSense controllers and PS VR2, plus new games joining the PlayStation Store sale.

The first part of the sale opened on November 4, and we covered the dates and early list in our PlayStation Store Black Friday 2026 deals story. Sony says the new offers appear at midnight local time on November 16. The store sale runs until November 30.

Who gets the PlayStation Black Friday PS Plus deal?

There is a catch on the PS Plus side. Sony says the discounted memberships are for players who join PS Plus during the promotion. Push Square's report on the PS Plus offer adds that it runs for two weeks, from November 16 to November 30.

Existing members cannot extend their current tier at a discount. If you are on Essential or Extra, you can upgrade to Premium for less. If you already pay for Premium, there is no offer for you at all. Sony has used this approach for several years, and it only applies in "participating countries."

It is worth checking the library before you sign up. This month's Essential line-up is in our PS Plus November 2026 games round-up.

Which PS5 accessories are on sale?

Sony shared its accessory discounts in US dollars. They apply on direct.playstation.com and at participating retailers, and pricing may vary by region.

Push Square's accessory deals report also notes an extra 5% off for PS Plus members who order from PlayStation Direct in 10 European countries, including the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.

If you are after a new pad, the see-through designs from October are covered in our PS5 Prism Collection transparent DualSense story. The PS VR2 discount lands at an odd moment, too. The headset made news when PS VR2 was pulled from Sony's stores in the US and Japan, so the deal may show up mostly at participating retailers.

Which games join the PlayStation Store sale?

Sony shared a short preview of new games joining the sale on November 16. Their discounts will be revealed that day. The preview includes:

• Marvel's Wolverine and 007 First Light
• EA Sports FC 27, NBA 2K27 and Madden NFL 27
• Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
• Resident Evil Requiem Deluxe Edition and Crimson Desert Enhanced
• Forza Horizon 5, Halo: Campaign Evolved and Call of Duty: Black Ops II
• Control Resonant, Dune: Awakening, Marvel Tōkon and Baldur's Gate 3 Digital Deluxe Edition

If you want to try before you buy, the 007 First Light PS Plus Premium trial is still an option. Sony is also running discounts of up to 40% on films in the Sony Pictures Core app from November 20 to 30, where the app is available.

What does it mean for players?

This wave matters most for new releases. Big 2026 games like Wolverine, FC 27 and 007 First Light join a wide sale for the first time. Lapsed PS Plus subscribers can also save, while current members only get the Premium upgrade deal. Check your local store on November 16 for exact prices.
