It’s time to get prepared for some of the year’s biggest discounts and if you’re wondering what time you should be shopping for video games, here are Gamestop’s Black Friday hours; and if it closes for Thanksgiving. Given that it is one of the biggest gaming retail outlets, GameStop is no stranger to Black Friday deals—with heavy discounts across PS5 and Xbox consoles as well as games and accessories.

GameStop’s history dates back to 1984 when the company was founded under the name Babbage’s in Dallas, Texas. Babbage’s specialized in software and games for PCs. Over the years, the company went through various changes, acquisitions, and expansions. In 1999, Barnes & Noble acquired Babbage’s, and the company became a subsidiary of the larger bookstore chain. The name was changed to Babbage’s, Etc. It was rebranded Gamestop a year later.

Like we said, for one of the country’s biggest video game and tech retailers, they’re familiar with holiday deals and while stores will be closed to Thanksgiving, Gamestop’s Black Friday Hours begin bright at early at 5 am in select locations. But you can always shop deals online, too, because Gamestop’s Black Friday sale began on November 13, 2023 with up to 75 percent off some of gaming’s biggest titles.

Tons of PS5 games are included in GameStop’s Black Friday event, including titles such as Far Cry 6, Forspoken, and Battlefield 2042. There are also great deals on Xbox, including A Plague Tale: Requiem, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2, Saints Row, Madden NFL 23, and dozens of other great titles are on sale for some of the lowest prices of the year. And while Nintendo Switch games are usually immune to sales or discounts, GameStop is running discounts on Zelda, Pokémon and Mario titles.

So we now know Gamestop’s Black Friday hours, how about some of our favorite deals on video games? Without further ado…
