Either developers have become lazy or they want to deliberately fill up your storage with just their own game, but many triple-A titles these days require a ridiculous amount of space, leaving little room for anything else – looking at you, Call of Duty. That’s why getting an additional PS5 SSD is a pretty good idea if you’re using your console for many different games.

For use with a PS5, you’ll want to look for NVMe M.2 SSDs with speeds of 5,500 MB/s or more. We’d strongly recommend the component to have a heatsink as well – you know how heated your hardware can get when you play high-performance games for a while. We’ve checked the offers on Amazon and compiled the best Black Friday PS5 SSD deals in 2023 for you below.

We’ve included PS5-compatible SSDs in a range from 1 to 4TB, so you can choose the product depending on your needs. Aside from temporary deals, you’ll also find one option below that can be purchased at a very reasonable default price for what it provides.

Taking Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which needs 234.9GB storage space, as an example, it becomes pretty clear that even a 1TB SSD can give you trouble quite quickly if you’re an avid gamer. If you like to have several triple-A titles installed at once, you should choose a larger SSD. If you’re alright with actively managing your storage and downloading games more frequently or primarily play smaller titles like indie games, then 1TB will carry you far enough.

For discounted PS5 titles to put onto that brand-new SSD, check out the best Black Friday 2023 video game deals, and you can choose a shiny TV to game on from our best Black Friday 2023 OLED TV/monitor deals.
