It’s here: Walmart’s official Black Friday 2023 sale is now live for everyone. While the mega-retailer has been offering “early” Black Friday deals nearly all month (and the deals have been quite good) the official, final deals are finally here. So what’s on sale? It might be quicker to discuss what’s not on sale. Let’s take a look at all the best deals available in Walmart’s Black Friday sale.
Shortcuts
TV Deals
There really is no better time to buy a new TV than on Black Friday.

PS5 Console Bundle Deals for Black Friday
If you’re picking up a PS5 for yourself or someone on your list this holiday season, you’ll definitely want to grab one of these bundles. They’re the new “slim” model of the PS5, so they don’t take up as much room in your entertainment center. And they come packaged with a brand-new huge game at no extra charge. This is a no-brainer. If you’re interested in Walmart’s Black Friday video game deals, keep on reading, because we’ve got a lot for owners of all three consoles.
PS5 Game Deals
Speaking of PS5 games, a whole heap of them are on sale now. And while these deals are very good, it’s possible another retailer might drop the price lower on a game you want. Check out our PS5 Black Friday roundup to see the best prices at all retailers.
PS5 Controller Deals
You’re not going to find a lower price on DualSense controllers any other time of the year. Every color is on sale for $49 — including the brand-new metallic cobalt blue and volcanic red colors. This truly is the ideal time to pick up any extras you need.
Nintendo Switch Console Bundle Black Friday Deals
Just like the PS5 above, if you’re going to buy a Nintendo Switch this holiday season, you’ll want to get one of these bundles. You can choose either a standard Switch, the OLED model, or the more compact Switch Lite. Whichever you choose, you get a game at no extra charge. And if you get a non-Lite model, you also get three months of Nintendo Switch Online.
Nintendo Switch Game Deals
Lots of Nintendo Switch games are on sale now as well. Again, because game deals can vary quite a bit from retailer to retailer, you may want to peek at our Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals roundup to see if the game you want is cheaper elsewhere.
Nintendo Switch Online Deals
Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack gets you a good number of features that make the Switch a better system. You get access to classic games from NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and GameBoy Advance, plus cloud saves and expansions to popular Switch games.
Xbox Console Bundle Black Friday Deals
Grab one of these Xbox Series X console bundles, and you’ll have dozens, if not hundreds, of hours of play time right out the gate.
Xbox Game Deals
Plenty of other Xbox games are on sale now as well. See our Xbox Black Friday roundup for even more deals.
Xbox Controller Deals
This is a great price for Xbox wireless controllers, which normally run $64.99 and up.
Meta Quest 2 Black Friday Deal
If you’re in the market for a VR headset, the Meta Quest 2 is the most affordable option by far. It also has the biggest and best library of games and apps. You could get the Meta Quest 3 for a faster processor and sharper display (see it at Walmart), but it costs twice as much.
Laptop Black Friday Deals
Anyone in the market for a new laptop can find plenty of good deals right now. Grab whatever one suits your needs.
Apple Deals
If you’ve had an eye on basically any popular Apple product, you can find it on sale for the lowest price of the year during Black Friday. Some retailers may drop the prices lower, so check out our full rundown of Apple Black Friday deals to see if that’s the case at the moment.

Toy Deals
Now is the time to start your Christmas shopping, if you haven’t already. Stock up on items that will make the kids in your life happy over the holidays.
What Is a Walmart+ Membership?
If you want early access to theses deals, you’ll need a Walmart+ membership. A subscription costs $12.95 for a month (which is all you need to take advantage of the early sale), or $98 for a year. In addition to early sale access, members also get free shipping with no order minimum, returns from home, free delivery from the closest store, and more. It even gets you access to Paramount+, which is a pretty stellar bonus. You can learn more about the Walmart+ membership or sign up here.
