Black Friday game deals 2020: top offers on FIFA 21, Watch Dogs Legion from GAME, Argos and more

It is the time of year that gamers love when all the biggest games came out – which also conveniently coincides with the Black Friday deals.

The PS5 and Xbox Series X and S have finally been released onto the world, and whether you were lucky enough to get a next-generation machine or are still using current hardware, one thing’s for sure – there’s plenty of great new gaming deals whatever platform you’re on.

Blockbuster video game season is already in full swing following the release of new 2020 games such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, and luckily all the Black Friday sales have started early also – big 2020 releases such as Marvel’s Avengers are already getting discounts of nearly 50%.
