11 Black Friday Video Game Deals You Can Get Right Now

Nintendo

As most of us have been staying indoors more than normal due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we've been trying to find new ways to entertain ourselves. First, it began with doing puzzles, and then it switched to making banana or sourdough bread. And while those activities kept our attention for a little while, there's another indoor activity that's been gaining traction with people of all ages: playing video games.

According to The Washington Post, Nintendo announced back in May that its sales for the Switch console were up 24% from last year, and Microsoft (which creates the Xbox system) saw a 130% increase in multiplayer engagement between March and April of this year. With all of this in mind, it goes without saying that the video game industry is booming, and they're capitalizing on this by delivering the best Black Friday video games deals in 2020.

So whether you have a video game system already or plan on getting your hands on a sought-after new one, below is a list of Black Friday video game sales you can get check out this year.
