Though Black Friday deals usually start ahead of the actual date, there are always still deals that only appear on the day itself, which is why it's still worth keeping your eye out for deals and waiting for the actual day. Well, anyone who was patient enough to wait for it to actually be Black Friday in order to take advantage of deals on video games has been rewarded, because there's a slew of games, all of which were released in 2025, that you can grab for $40 or less on Amazon.
Of course, you can find older games for cheap as well, and some other 2025 releases on sale for more than $40, but no one is able to grab everything they want in a given year right at launch, so there's likely a few games in this list of 20 titles released in 2025 that you can pick up for cheap now.
Starting from the top-end of the pricing, with games that you can pick up for $40 that were released in 2025:
- Assassin's Creed Shadows - Xbox Series X - $40
- Hell is Us - PS5/Xbox Series X - $40
- Cronos: The New Dawn - PS5 - $40
- The First Berserker: Khazan - PS5/Xbox Series X - $40
- Wuchang Fallen Feathers - PS5/Xbox Series X - $40
- Revenge of the Savage Planet - PS5/Xbox Series X - $40
- Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - PS5/Xbox Series X/Nintendo Switch - $40
All seven of these games are strong titles, with some of the more notable ones including Hell is Us and Cronos: The New Dawn, two of 2025's best games, by Wccftech's standards.
Moving down the pricing list, here are the games you can get for $30 and up:
- EA Sports F1 25 - PS5/Xbox Series X - $35
- EA Sports FC 26 - PS5 - $30
- EA Sports NHL 26 - PS5/Xbox Series X - $30
- Monster Hunter Wilds - PS5/Xbox Series X/S - $30
- Elden Ring Nightreign - PS5/Xbox Series X - $35
- Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - PS5 - $30
- Once Upon a Katamari - PS5 - $30
Both Elden Ring Nightreign and Monster Hunter Wilds were two of the top-rated titles for Wccftech in 2025. Grabbing them for less than $40 each is a solid pick-up for anyone who has been keeping an eye on them and holding out for a good deal.
Lastly, here are the games you can grab for under $30, all of which were new titles that released in 2025:
- EA Sports Madden NFL 26 - PS5 - $28
- EA Sports College Football 26 - PS5 - $28
- NBA 2K26 - PS5 - $23
- Just Dance 2026 Edition - Nintendo Switch - $25
- Killing Floor 3 - PS5/Xbox Series X - $20
- Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii - PS5 - $25
- Shadow Labyrinth - PS5/Nintendo Switch - $20
- MLB The Show 25 - Xbox Series X - $20
Of course, these 22 deals are just the tip of the iceberg for Black Friday sales. There's still plenty more you can check out across video games and other areas of tech. Battlefield 6, for example, is only $35 at GameStop for a limited time. You can also get everything Square Enix has put out as part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy for just $50.
