From Software has become synonymous with challenging and beautifully crafted action-RPGs, and for Black Friday, you can get the studio’s very best game for just $20. Elden Ring typically sells for $60, and while we have seen it discounted several times in the past, this is the best price yet for an incredible adventure that’ll test your skills within its elegantly tragic fantasy world.
Only 29 games have earned a 10/10 score across GameSpot’s long history, and Elden Ring is one of them. Back in 2022, Elden Ring was praised for creating a massive open-world environment with substance and giving players an action-packed experience that has become the gold standard for all Souls-likes.
“In a genre that has become wrought with bloated and over-designed games, Elden Ring is defiantly contrarian in almost every way. Its commitment to design by subtraction and to placing the responsibility of charting a path through its world entirely on the player makes it stand head and shoulders above other open-world titles,” Tamoor Hussain wrote in GameSpot’s Elden Ring review. “Elden Ring takes the shards of what came before and forges them into something that will go down in history as one of the all-time greats: a triumph in design and creativity, and an open-world game that distinguishes itself for what it doesn’t do as much as what it does.”
If you’re looking for the complete experience, you can also pick up Elden Ring with its one and only expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. The expansion was released earlier this year and adds an absurd amount of extra content, like new weapons, equipment, skills, and magic not found in the base game, alongside new enemies, encounters, and plotlines. Normally $80, you can pick this up for $50 on Xbox Series X during Black Friday, or for $40 on PS5. There’s also a digital code deal for Xbox Series X|S, priced at $40.
