Black Friday offers some eye-catching discounts on SSDs, micro SDs, and storage expansions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Behind the flashy Black Friday deals for consoles and games you’ll find other important gear that makes gaming more enjoyable, even if a memory card isn’t as exciting as a new game.
Games are getting bigger and bigger – and there are just so many of them to play in the first place – that extra storage can go a long way, especially if you’ve just picked up a £190 Xbox Series S which only has 512GB storage.
We’ve looked through Black Friday deals for micro SD cards for Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, as well as external hard drives and expansion cards for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and there are some very handy bargains out there.
