I had a great time playing video games in 2024 — and I hope you did too. Let's talk about it.

This past year was challenging for some, including myself, but the silver lining is that 2024 produced a bunch of excellent games to play. The RPG genre, in particular, saw a modern renaissance, with an overwhelming number of releases from studios big and small.

Of course, there were plenty of other games, ranging from big-budget productions to ones created by a single developer.

However, unlike most years, there isn't a single standout on this list that I consider to be better than all the rest. Why introduce competition when it's not needed? That's why this list is unranked. You should play all of these games if you can.

Here are the best games of 2024, in no particular order.

The best video games of 2024

Again, fair warning: There are a lot of RPGs on this list, but at least they're all really good.

Metaphor: ReFantazio

In a year that was comically bursting at the seams with RPGs to play, Metaphor: ReFantazio has a real case as the best one.

This game looks so awesome. Credit: Sega/Atlus/Steam

At the very least, it’s the most striking and unique of the big ones, thanks to a dazzling art style full of funky fantasy designs and a soundtrack overflowing with operatic rapping. 

It also has a neat hybrid real-time/turn-based combat system and a compelling calendar-based gameplay structure that keeps things moving forward at all times. Metaphor’s main story may be overly simplistic at times with its "fiction can change the world" message, but strong character work and worldbuilding in the margins help this game become one of the very best of 2024.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the only game of 2024 — and probably of all time up to this point — that made me emotional during a karaoke cutscene.

The boys! Credit: Sega/RGG Studio/Steam

Sure, it’s a great turn-based RPG with a fun, real-world setting, a party full of unemployed 40-somethings, and fully fleshed-out Animal Crossing- and Pokemon-inspired side games. But Infinite Wealth’s real strength lies in its ability to bring you in touch with the inner lives of its characters.

It opens strong, with protagonist Ichiban Kasuga going on the (heartbreaking) first date of his adult life, and continues with longtime series hero Kazuma Kiryu suffering from a terminal illness. All along the way, you’ll meet a bunch of quirky freaks with shockingly relatable problems. One of the most touching moments in the entire game involves a bunch of guys who wear diapers and act like adult babies. If any of that sounds good to you, go play Infinite Wealth with haste.

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth

If you had asked me just a few hours after finishing Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, I would have confidently called it the best game of 2024.

However, with some time to reflect, my enthusiasm has cooled due to its admittedly bloated length and a story that shines most when it’s not focused on the new elements added to it. But for dozens of hours, Rebirth is an incredibly fun and visually stunning JRPG, featuring some of the best combat of the year, a beloved cast of characters who each get their moment to shine, and one of the most diverse and impressive soundtracks in recent memory.

I still can’t believe there’s an original song about a dog that was written just for one optional side quest.

Dragon’s Dogma 2

Although it’s a big-budget, full-priced game published by industry giant Capcom, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is arguably the most "for true sickos" title on this entire list.

It's brutal, but it's worth it. Credit: Capcom

I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. This quirky open-world action RPG makes even the simple act of walking from one town to the next feel treacherous, no matter how powered-up your character might be. Sometimes, you’ll be strolling through the countryside, and a dragon and a giant ogre will start fighting you (and each other) all at once. 

Fast travel is limited by items. Entire optional quests and storylines can be easily missed. There’s an in-game disease that can eradicate entire villages while you aren’t playing — and it’s not easy to spot ahead of time. These things sound punishing and unfair, but thanks to brilliant game design and balancing, it’s all nearly flawlessly tuned to be more funny than aggravating.

Astro Bot

Astro Bot is, if nothing else, one of the best PlayStation commercials ever.

What's up, Ratchet? Credit: PlayStation

That may sound more derisive than intended, but it’s a factual analysis of Astro Bot: an incredibly tight, clever, and wonderfully designed 3D platformer that’s also a firehose of PlayStation nostalgia that doesn’t always hit right. Sometimes, you see references to Vib-Ribbon and Jumping Flash and smile, while other times, you see Detroit: Become Human and Fall Guys and feel a little weird about it because those are very recent games that don't have decades of fondness built around them. In the case of Detroit, it's not even a good game.

Astro Bot is such an incredible experience to play, watch, and listen to — especially in a genre that’s underrepresented these days — that I’m willing to overlook the fact that the nostalgia-driven elements don’t always land as intended.

Balatro

Balatro has the unique distinction of being the only game on this list that I’ve gone out of my way to avoid for most of this year because I like doing other things with my life on occasion.

It's getting its hooks in me just through this screenshot alone. Credit: LocalThunk/Steam

Everyone I know who likes Balatro comes off as a cautionary tale, especially since it became available on phones. 

The point is, as soon as you start playing this poker-based roguelike from a one-person development studio, you may not want to play anything else for a while. Be careful, folks.

UFO 50

If there’s any game from 2024 that stands above the rest in terms of ambition, it’s probably UFO 50.

There's a lot to see and do in UFO 50. Credit: Mossmouth

The result of a collaborative effort between several indie game developers, UFO 50 is a collection of 50 original games from a fictional company spanning several real eras of game design. Obtuse adventure games, classic-style RPGs, beat-'em-ups, tower defense games, and others are all represented here with endearing, era-specific accuracy. 

If you’ve ever liked a video game that came out in the '80s or '90s, UFO 50 might be your jam.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II

I have a group of friends I like to play multiplayer games with. Anything where we can team up is right up our alley. My favorites are the ones that don't require much tactical communication, so we can chat about whatever while playing. 2024 provided two nearly perfect examples of that, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II was one of them.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II comes from a fictional universe/board game I don’t care about at all, and that’s fine. It’s an incredible co-op experience for three players where you can use a chainsaw sword to mow through giant bugs. Every player is a 10-foot-tall monstrosity in power armor, and the only way for enemies to stand a chance against you is to swarm you by the dozen. It kicks ass.

Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 is also a co-op game about satirically fascist soldiers shooting bugs — but with an entirely different feel. Your character is weaker and more expendable here, and dying is often more funny than maddening. Managing supplies and finishing optional side objectives are also bigger deals in Helldivers II. But both of these games hold the same special spot in my heart as something I could play with friends while being able to have real conversations with them.

Silent Hill 2 remake

Blurb written by Mashable's Chance Townsend

Too creepy for me, personally. Credit: Konami/Steam

Silent Hill 2’s remake is a harrowing masterpiece of atmosphere and storytelling that strikes the perfect balance between reverence for its roots and modern sensibilities. Bloober Team has managed to take the haunting essence of the PS2 classic and reforge it into an experience that feels both nostalgic and groundbreaking.

From the moment you step into the fog world of Silent Hill, you’re plunged into a world of psychological dread where every shadow whispers untold horrors. The game’s sound design is a revelation, using eerie silences and dissonant crescendos to keep players on edge, while Akira Yamaoka’s haunting score wraps around the narrative like a suffocating mist.

James Sunderland’s journey through his fractured psyche is conveyed with visceral combat, chilling environmental storytelling, and unforgettable character encounters. Plus, it helps that the stunning visuals breathe new life into Silent Hill’s grotesque beauty, making it a sensory feast.

Despite some minor technical hiccups, Silent Hill 2's gripping narrative, terrifying atmosphere, and polished mechanics make it a shining example of how remakes should be done. It’s an experience that lingers long after the credits roll, earning its place as one of our best games of 2024.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink

I did not think I would ever become hopelessly absorbed by a spin-off to a Japanese phone game, but 2024 was full of surprises.

These boss fights are so, so good. Credit: Cygames/Steam

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a strangely named but undeniably excellent action RPG with a huge cast of a few dozen playable characters, each with their own elemental strengths and totally unique combat mechanics. Mastering a character in Relink is like a simpler version of mastering a character in a fighting game. The only difference is that you take them into co-op battles against giant monsters instead of using them to compete with strangers.

It doesn’t hurt that Relink’s fantasy sky pirate setting regularly produces gorgeous vistas, including the best-looking clouds I’ve ever seen in a video game. The music’s great, too. You should play this game.

Honorable MentionEA Sports College Football 25 SEE ALSO: Why 'College Football '25' means so much to its long-suffering fans

EA Sports College Football 25 has problems. The simulation is weird; it doesn’t have every feature that every player wants, like in-depth offseason player development or deep-in-the-weeds roster management features. I don’t really care, though, because this game’s release was a genuine event in a way that sports game launches rarely are. 

Travis Hunter can do amazing things in the real world and the virtual world. Credit: Electronic Arts

The first official college football video game in a decade was also the first to have real player names and faces. It also has a stunning amount of lovingly and accurately rendered pregame rituals, obscure campus landmarks, and everything else that college football fans could possibly want. The part where you play football is fun, too, but as a celebration of its subject matter, CFB 25 is premium-grade stuff.

SAVE $45: Upgrade your ROG Ally setup thanks to Best Buy's Black Friday event: The ASUS ROG 65W Charger Dock supports 4K HDMI output, fast charging, and peripheral connectivity, making it the ultimate accessory for gamers.

$64.99 Save $45.00 Get Deal

Did you snag that awesome ASUS ROG Ally Black Friday deal? Now you'll need a solid travel charger that doubles as a dock for when you want to hook up to a TV or desktop setup, right? The ASUS ROG 65W Charger Dock is available in the Best Buy Black Friday sale for just $19.99. That's $45 off the best charging and docking solution for the ASUS ROG Ally.

Why pay $19.99 for a wall plug? This thing is packed with tech that knocks all third-party competition on its backside at this price point. The first socket has a HDMI 2.0 output, which means 4K at 60Hz or 1080p at 120Hz support. While ROG Ally isn't going to put out 4K, there's room for other tech to dock in this thing. ROG Ally plugs in via the USB-C input, and then the Charger Dock converts that signal and sends it out of the HDMI 2.0 port to your chosen screen. Imagine being on holiday and being able to chill out to some Diablo IV on your room TV with no issues?

This thing keeps your ROG Ally charged, too. It has a USB 2.0 socket to plug in memory card adaptors, controllers, keyboards, and mice (although a USB extender would be needed for multiple USB accessories to be used simultaneously). The USB-A socket supports data transfer speeds of up to 480 MB/s, so it's fast enough for most uses without banging your head against the wall for load and copy times.

The heart of this piece of tech is the 65W USB Type-C charger, which means you can run on Turbo mode while plugged in on the go. It also supports dual charging, splitting power between 60W via USB Type-C and 5W via USB Type-A, so you can charge a second device simultaneously. Is the phone running low on battery while gaming? Problem solved.

Compact and sleek, the dock makes it easy to set up your gear. Keep your peripherals and accessories pre-connected, plug the dock into the wall, and connect your ROG Ally with a straightforward cable whenever you're reayou'regame. It's a seaIt'ss way to transition from handheld to full-screen gaming.

Another big selling point for this Black Friday deal is its low profile and small size for a charging dock. Of course, it's nice that it's a stand with more inputs for ROG Ally, but it's not physical when commuting to work or on holiday. It's the best sidekick for your ROG Ally. It is usually a lot more expensive, so it's crazy that this deal is still available.

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is the best speaker we've tested under $100: it doesn't take up much space, has 14 hours of battery life, gets as loud as a larger speaker without losing much clarity, and can be taken on the go to pretty much any situation thanks to its IP67 rating. While it drops to $79.99 throughout the year, this is still a fantastic deal for a speaker that we think is well worth it at full price, and at the time of writing, each of the four colorways is available on sale. (At $78.96, you can get it for ever-so-slightly cheaper, but this price is only available on the black colorway).

If you're in the market for a new Bluetooth speaker, one of the only reasons we'd say to pass on this one is if you already own the Wonderboom 3 (it's incredibly similar) and want to pair up with another Wonderboom speaker to use stereo mode (none of the UE speakers are backwards compatible for stereo mode).

Best high-end Bluetooth speaker deal Sonos Move 2 $359.00 at Amazon
$449.00 Save $90.00 Get Deal Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Sonos Move 2.

Sonos speakers are expensive, and they really only go on sale during Black Friday. Even during both Prime Days this year, we didn't see price cuts on Sonos products, and especially not our favorite pick for smart homes, the Sonos Move 2. This speaker is big enough that it might be a hassle to move it around regularly, but it's not so big that you'll dread moving it if you're hosting a backyard barbecue.

The trade-off is that you get a speaker with 24-hour battery life and sound quality that shines across all genres of music. Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder wrote in his review, "It's capable of producing one of those effects where you play a song you know well (in my case, 'Roxanne' by The Police), and you hear details you never knew were there, like the (accidental?) touching of the drumsticks at the end of the song's intro." Plus, it has compatibility with Alexa and Sonos Voice Control.

Best budget Bluetooth speaker deal JBL Go 4 $39.95 at Amazon
$49.95 Save $10.00 Get Deal Why we like it

The JBL Go 4 is tiny and inexpensive, but it packs a punch. This speaker sounds surprisingly clear, and can get louder than you think (though you do start to sacrifice some of that clarity at higher volumes). During our testing, we found it got anywhere from seven to up to nine-and-a-half hours of playtime, making it an excellent option for taking on the go to the beach (where it's IP67 water and dust-proof rating will keep it safe), or for taking up minimal space in your home while still providing plenty of sound. $39.95 is the lowest price we've ever seen it at, beating its Prime Day price by about $5.

Black Friday is just around the corner, but major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart are already kicking off their programming. In other words: it's a pretty good time to pick up a pair of headphones on sale.

So far, we've seen the bulk of the deals at Amazon, with headphones and earbuds from Sony and Bose returning to record low prices. In addition to our top picks as of Nov. 20, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones and Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, we're also seeing markdowns on brands like Apple, Beats, Jabra, and Google.

With a few pairs already down at lows we saw during Prime Day, we're anticipating that the actual day of Black Friday (this year, it falls on Nov. 29) will bring new record lows. In the meantime, we'll keep you updated on the best noise-cancelling headphones deals live, from now through Black Friday.

Check out our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM5.

If you want headphones that have great noise cancelling and incredible (adjustable) sound, then the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones won't let you down. Out of the noise-cancelling headphones we've tested, these are our top pick for audiophiles. It can be a little annoying that the ear cups don't fold in, but with 30 hours of battery life, you'll probably find yourself wearing them more often than not. They've hit $298 a couple times this month, but it's just a dollar away from their low price of $297. With these headphones being a 2022 release, we're hoping to see them drop even lower on Black Friday, but if you want to pick up a pair early, this deal matches both their July and October Prime Day price.

Check out our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds.

For folks who want the best possible noise cancelling they can get in their earbuds, we like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. They do come with the price tag that reflects their top notch noise cancelling — but, on sale, they cost less than the full price of AirPods Pro. After testing out these earbuds, Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino was more impressed than she expected to be, writing, "Truthfully, I can't imagine a person that wouldn't appreciate these buds. The noise cancellation is the best I've ever experienced, and the music feels like it surrounds you thanks to spatial audio. Plus, the fit is like no other."

UPDATE: Nov. 28, 2024, 8:47 p.m. EST This story has been updated with the latest deals from Walmart's Black Friday sale.

The best Black Friday TV deals at Walmart Best 55-Inch Deal Samsung 55-inch Q60DB QLED 4K TV $498 at Walmart (save $150) Get Deal Best 65-Inch Deal LG 65-inch B3 Series OLED 4K TV $998 at Walmart (save $301) Get Deal

TVs being on sale for Black Friday isn't unique to any one retailer. Sure, that's news to no one. The less-known intel is that, while there will be a handful of price-matched deals on identical models at all of the big competing stores, each store also has a certain type of TV that they seem to really hone in on when it comes to Black Friday discounts.

Walmart's wheelhouse is simply the cheapest 4K TV possible at any given size between 50 inches and 75 inches. If you see Amazon and Best Buy plateauing at a certain sale price for a certain size (for instance, maybe the cheapest they're seemingly able to go for a 50-incher is $199.99), it's pretty safe to assume that Walmart will have an option that slightly beats both of those sale prices. This highly competitive vibe is the main reason why TV deals are typically better on Black Friday than on Amazon Prime Day.

SEE ALSO: The best Black Friday deals at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart

Because Walmart likes to release its most jaw-dropping TV deals as a handful of pre-meditated doorbusters, more shoppers will be waiting in the wings for the clock to strike a certain time (rather than calmly perusing several pages of TV deals) — which means TVs selling out is more likely and time is of the essence.

One way to make sure you get first dibs on any of Walmart's big Black Friday drops is by becoming a Walmart+ member. Paid Walmart+ members get early access to Walmart deals, often for several hours before the sale officially goes live to the public. Through Dec. 2, new, expired, monthly, and current Walmart+ trial members can sign up for an annual Walmart+ membership for $49 — 50% off the regular $98 a year that Walmart+ typically costs.

Along with this early access, Walmart+ members also get perks like a free Paramount+ subscription; 10 cents per gallon fuel savings at Exxon, Mobil, Walmart, and Murphy; Walmart Cash through Expedia; free shipping from your store; free online shipping with no order minimum; and more.

We're tracking all of Walmart's best TV deals throughout the Black Friday season below and will update the list as new ones drop — or as models sell out. On top of the ultra budget-friendly options we gushed about earlier, Walmart also has some good deals on premium models from Samsung and LG.

Note: Occasionally, a Walmart TV doorbuster will come in the form of a TV that's making its debut at a sale price rather than appearing as a clear-cut dollar discount off of an MSRP. Walmart will tag these drops as a "Special Buy" so shoppers know this is still a great price even if there's no previous list price crossed out to indicate a sale. To get an idea of what that size of TV is going for at other retailers, check out our general coverage of Black Friday TV deals which includes Amazon and Best Buy.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

UPDATE: Nov. 30, 2024, 11:00 a.m. EST This story has been updated with current pricing on robot vacuums still on sale during the morning after Black Friday, including ones at Amazon that are now being called Cyber Monday deals.

Yet another Black Friday is technically in the rearview, but we all know that the vibes will be alive and well through Cyber Monday. This chaotic shopping weekend often brings flashbacks to last year's frantic shopping — including the items that you didn't end up buying, and then wished you had all year. If a robot vacuum didn't make the cut last year, let Black Friday 2024 be the time to finally ditch your current clunky vacuum and treat yourself to a significantly shorter chore list.

Black Friday deals make high-end robot vacs super accessible

The robot vacs getting attention this Black Friday are packed with high-end features — ones you may have previously been fine to settle without just because, at full price, they're a really intimidating investment. I'm personally eyeing the number of options that bring home smart mapping and small obstacle avoidance (no more eaten phone chargers) and self-washing and drying mopping pads in the $500 to $700 range.

Considering the latter two features I just mentioned were once so newfangled that they were only available in the $1,000+ range, these sale prices are ones to hop on without hesitation. FWIW, most of the robot vacuums still on sale for Black Friday are the cheapest they've ever been. Many are even beating their previous record-low pricing that we just saw during October Prime Day — and unlike Prime Day, no membership is needed to access these deals, aside from a few random ones at Amazon.

SEE ALSO: I've tested over 20 robot vacuums and these are the best for every budget in 2024

Below, I'm tracking the best Black Friday robot vacuum deals still live through Cyber Monday and beyond. (Amazon is already officially referring to deals as Cyber Monday deals now, even if they're identical to Black Friday deals.) While nothing has really changed about the sales yesterday versus today, it's not unlikely for a few new robot vacs to go on sale as more retailers enter Cyber Monday mode — so if you've held out this long, I recommend waiting to see what deals the weekend brings.

Deals are organized into three sections: robot vacuums that don't mop, robot vacuum and mop combos, and vacuum and mop combos that also wash and dry their own mopping pads. Within each category, all robot vacuum deals are ordered by price from cheapest to most premium. (Need help deciding which robot vacuum to buy? I have some guidelines.)

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing. Any deal marked with a 🔥 has dropped to a record-low price at Amazon, or matches Amazon's lowest price.

Best Black Friday robot vacuum deal Opens in a new window Credit: iRobot iRobot Roomba Combo i5+ $299.00 at Amazon
$549.99 Save $250.99 Get Deal Why we like it

This nearly 50% off discount on the Roomba Combo j5+ is stellar at first glance, but it looks like an even sweeter deal when compared to the current deal on the cheapest self-emptying Roomba, the Roomba Vac 2. For $249.99, that bare-bones Roomba doesn't mop and can't smart map your house. For $299 — just $50 more — the Roomba Combo i5+ can mop and can smart map to clean specific rooms in your home on command. If $300 is your budget cap for a new robot vacuum, spending that extra $50 is a no-brainer.

The only downside to choosing the Combo i5+ over the more advanced Combo j5+ is that the i series Roombas don't have small obstacle avoidance technology, so they can't dodge things on the floor like charging cords or pet waste. However, if your home is already pretty tidy as it is, or you're down to deal with tidying up ahead of vacuuming, the Combo i5+ is a total steal at this price. Otherwise, the fantastic Black Friday deal on the Combo j5+ is also still live: grab it for 50% at $399.99.

We all know that Black Friday is the best time of year to buy a TV. Where to find those stellar TV deals is less obvious, and for many, a question that boils down to one simple question: Amazon or somewhere else?

While Amazon does have its fair share of stellar Black Friday doorbuster TV deals, we have to be honest: Best Buy and Walmart bring some serious competition in this space. Before pulling the trigger on a cheap TV at Amazon, it's worth checking the selection elsewhere. Of course, Amazon will have the lowest price on its own Fire TVs as well as Fire TVs made by TCL, Toshiba, Hisense, and Insignia. And now that Amazon's Black Friday sale is officially underway, most have dropped to all-time low pricing. In fact, some of those TVs are already low in stock, considering Amazon kicked off its Black Friday sale on Thursday, Nov. 21.

Amazon is a good place to find an affordable 4K TV with a smooth smart TV interface. That's especially true now that Amazon has debuted new versions of its Omni TVs, including its very first mini LED TV. However, you can also find some good deals on premium TVs at Amazon, especially if you've been eyeing Samsung's art TV The Frame or an award-winning LG OLED TV. As of this writing, Amazon has the best prices on these flagship TVs, though only by a few dollars.

For the biggest selection of QLED or OLED models, check Best Buy's Black Friday TV deals. It has a bigger selection of large-screen premium options from Samsung, Sony, and LG, and that selection isn't riddled with questionable third-party sellers like Amazon's. And if you're looking on the other end of the pricing spectrum, Walmart is offering the cheapest possible 4K TVs in 2024.

Don't want to price-check TVs across all the different retailers? That's why you've got us. In this guide, we'll curate the best Black Friday Amazon TV deals. We're confident you won't find these TVs at a cheaper price anywhere else.

Having covered so many Black Friday events in the past, we can tell you this: TCL is the king of Black Friday doorbuster TV deals. That goes for Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. And while TCL has expanded its lineup in the mid-range and near-premium categories, it still makes budget TVs for the masses. And that's exactly what this is. We won't lie and say this is anything but a basic TV with a basic LED display. However, it's hard to argue with $349.99 for a 65-inch smart TV, and we're not going to try.

Amazon put its new Mini LED Fire TVs on sale for the first time mere days after announcing them, but that doesn't automatically make those the best deal on a QLED TV at Amazon this Black Friday. We have to give up that prize to this huge 75-inch Hisense TV, which is already ridiculously affordable at full price. Its $549.99 sale price looks even sweeter when compared side-by-side with Amazon's cheapest in-house Omni QLED, which is on sale for $599.99. This TCL gets you 10 more inches of screen for $50 less.

If you need to replace your old, slow TV and are looking for a happy medium between the cheapest possible TV and the fanciest possible TV, then TCL's base-tier QLEDs hit the sweet spot. Even as one of the more basic QLEDs on the market, you'll immediately notice the improved brightness and color of the Q65. The difference comes from a layer of quantum dots laid over the LED backlight, which provides an overall punchier picture that's much better for gaming or watching sports.

You can buy a lot of amazing TVs on Black Friday, but Samsung's The Frame has a legit claim on being the best TV in the world right now, full stop. Mashable was there when Samsung debuted the new iteration of the famous art TV in New York City. The Frame isn't just a 4K TV with a pristine QLED display; it's also an art gallery for your living room wall. When you're not streaming, The Frame's screen displays classic works of art, contemporary photography, or your own photos. It's also got an AI processor and an incredibly unique "matte display," which makes glare disappear.

One more thing: If you're getting rid of an old TV to make room for this Black Friday purchase, take it somewhere that recycles old electronics (like Best Buy) rather than trashing it.

We know it's hard to stomach, but the holiday shopping season has begin. The Thanksgiving Turkey isn't even in the oven, but the sales are here, and who are we to ignore good deals? Think of it this way: get all your online shopping done now, so you can shop in-store on Black Friday.

Holiday deals have kicked off at Best Buy, Target, and of course, Amazon. One of the better sales out of Amazon is on the retailer's Fire Tablets. Amazon's answer to Apple's iPad is significantly cheaper, even at full price. During this early Black Friday, find Amazon Fire Tablets for their lowest prices ever, up to 50% off.

Amazon's Fire HD 10 tablet is a lot friendlier on the wallet than an iPad. With a 10.1-inch screen, it's similar in size, but it's also a fraction of the price. In our review of the Amazon Fire HD 10, we delighted in its lightweight design and long-battery life. The biggest downside to Amazon's Fire tablets are the limited selection of apps offered, especially compared the the Google Play or Apple stores.

That being said, it's still not a bad choice for those who want a tablet for streaming or reading through the Kindle app. And ahead of Black Friday, the Fire HD 10 is down to its lowest price ever of $74.99. That's a generous 46% off for $65 in savings.

Unlike Apple, Amazon makes tablets designed for kids. Not only does it come in a hefty case that can certainly withstand a temper tantrum, but it limits content so you don't have to worry about kids stumbling into inappropriate territory.

The Amazon Fire 7 Kids Tablet is now 50% off and down to $49.99. Plus, it comes with 6 months free of Amazon Kids+, a subscription service that offers age-friendly books, games, and videos for kiddos. Plus, just just $5 more, you can get a whole year of the service free.

Black Friday proper may be gone, but deals still abound (and probably will through Cyber Monday, at least) — and Black Friday Kindle deals are no exception.

Amazon has a knack for launching new devices around Prime Day, so it was no surprise when they dropped a new batch of Kindles post-October Prime Day. We've tested our way through most of the latest models, and they're improving upon already great tech for the fastest, brightest Kindles yet. Our favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite, and yes, it's on sale.

Because these items are so new, we weren't expecting to see amazing discounts, but Black Friday 2024 proved us wrong. Early on we saw Kindle bundles go on sale, but now, single devices are marked down up to 27% off.

Here are the best Kindle deals to shop on Black Friday. We'll be tracking prices throughout Cyber weekend, so if any new Kindle deals pop up, you'll find them here.

The new batch of 2024 Kindles are the fastest yet, turning pages quickly and with less delay when switching between books in your library. The Kindle Paperwhite and Signature Edition both have bright, high-contrast screens, so you can read in any environment. While I prefer the Kindle Paperwhite over the Signature Edition most of the time, right now you can't beat the SE's Black Friday price.

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is 23% off, bringing it down to $154.99. That's some big savings ($45 to be exact) on a device that's usually $200. You get everything you love in the Paperwhite, lightweight and waterproof design, with the added benefits of double the storage, wireless charging, and auto-adjusting brightness.

Among the new Kindles is a redesigned Scribe, which comes in classic black or a flashy metallic jade and won't be officially available until Dec. 4. The new Scribe's screen got a makeover with added white borders to give it a more notebook-like feel. If the new model is anything like the current one, I'm excited to see what it offers.

If you're an annotator, the Kindle Scribe is the e-reader for you. The matte screen feels like writing on paper, and includes a notebook section so you can take notes in addition to annotating your e-books. Personally, I like writing with the Kindle Scribe far more than I do with an iPad and Apple Pencil.

This deal gives you a little extra off ahead of the Scribe's December release. The Essentials Bundle comes with the device, premium pen, folio-style case, and power adapter — everything you need to get started. Normally $539.97, you can find the bundle for $479.97, saving you $60 for 11% off.

UPDATE: Nov. 28, 2024, 5:46 p.m. EST This story has been updated with the current best Black Friday Roomba deals at Amazon as well as iRobot's website, including several budget-friendly mopping and smart mapping options.

A quick look at the best Black Friday Roomba deals Best standalone Roomba deal iRobot Roomba Combo j5 $299.99 (save $230) Get Deal Best self-emptying Roomba deal iRobot Roomba Combo i5+ $299 (save $250.99) Get Deal

So many robot vacuums go on sale for Black Friday that decision fatigue is imminent — unless you're specifically set on a Roomba, that is.

Roombas do tend to run slightly more expensive than competitors with the same features, so November is a wise time to buy one — Black Friday has been known to trigger new record-breaking discounts on several Roomba models. In terms of where that happens, Amazon is the best place to find a Roomba on sale despite the flop of the acquisition of iRobot by Amazon (though iRobot's own website has good options, too). Because iRobot doesn't debut new models for the year at CES in January like many other big robot vacuum brands do, you can also be confident that the Roombas on sale during Black Friday won't be phased out in a month or two.

So yeah, there are quite a few Roombas on sale for Black Friday — mainly at Amazon's Black Friday sale, with a few other deals scattered at iRobot's website (and a few matched deals at Target and Best Buy). But while most of those deals look good in terms of the percentage off that you're getting, many of them just aren't worthwhile when you consider the features you're securing, especially when taking into the bigger list of robot vacuum deals from other brands this Black Friday.

For instance, the base-tier Roomba Vac Essential being on sale for $149 sounds great until you realize that this Roomba doesn't have smart mapping, which means it can't clean specific rooms on command. When robot vacuums that do have smart mapping like the Shark IQ Ultra or Eufy L50 are on sale for $148 and $159, respectively this Black Friday, that particular Roomba Vac deal is far less exciting.

SEE ALSO: I've tested over 20 robot vacuums — here are the top 5 to shop on Black Friday

This doesn't mean there aren't any Roomba deals that I think are worth it this Black Friday. The i series and j series Roombas under $500 that are currently live are stellar — multiple models are nearly 50% off, with both self-emptying and mopping being optional depending on your needs. (As you get into the more expensive j series Roombas, the deals start to become less appealing. Premium robot vacuums from other brands simply do more than something like the Roomba Combo j9+ for less money.) For a deeper dive into these features, check out my guide that unpacks the differences between the main Roombas.

This story will be updated any time a new noteworthy Roomba deal drops between now and the end of Cyber Week. While you can be pretty certain that the Roombas on sale now are at their Black Friday pricing, Amazon or iRobot could very well drop completely new Roomba deals over the next few days — I'll keep you posted. Note: Any deal marked with a 🔥 has dropped to a record-low price at Amazon.

This nearly 50% discount on the Roomba Combo j5+ already looks great on its face, but it's an even sweeter deal when compared to the current sale price on the cheapest self-emptying Roomba, the Roomba Vac 2. For $249.99, the ultrabasic Roomba Vac 2 doesn't mop and can't smart map your house. For $299 — just $50 more — the Roomba Combo i5+ can mop and can smart map to clean specific rooms in your home on command. If $300 is your budget cap for a new robot vacuum, spending that extra $50 is a no-brainer.

The only downside to choosing the Combo i5+ over the more advanced Combo j5+, which is also at an amazing sale price of $399 for Black Friday, is that the i series Roombas don't have the small obstacle avoidance technology that helps dodge things on the floor like charging cords or pet waste. However, if your home is already pretty tidy as it is, or you're down to deal with tidying up ahead of vacuuming, the Combo i5+ is a total steal at this price.

UPDATE: Nov. 28, 2024, 6:15 p.m. EST This story has been updated to reflect the latest Black Friday sale pricing on self-emptying robot vacs as of Thanksgiving night, including a new Shark robot vacuum deal under $250.

A quick look at the best self-emptying robot vacuum deals ahead of Black Friday Best under $300 Shark IQ RV2303AE 248 (save $251.99) Get Deal Best Roomba deal iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ 399 (save $330.99) Get Deal Best hybrid deal with self-cleaning mopping pads Roborock Qrevo S 459.99 (save $340) Get Deal

The majority of robot vacuums you'll see on sale this Black Friday will be self-emptying ones, and there's a reason that feature is more common than not nowadays. Having a robot vacuum typically means you'll be vacuuming more often, and that means a fuller dustbin faster — but thanks to the universalization of the self-emptying dock, you won't have a hard time outsourcing dustbin duty for more than $300 or $400.

This wasn't the case even a few years ago, when automatic emptying was a feature reserved for the high-end robot vacs from a select few brands that were ahead of the game. Now, there are tons of options on both ends of the spectrum, including super affordable, compact options that barely take up more room than a non self-emptying option.

If your budget is a little more flexible, you can squeeze more out of your $500 to $1,000 during Black Friday and secure not only automatic emptying, but automatic water refilling and automatic mopping pad washing and drying. All of the big brands like iRobot, Shark, Roborock, and Eufy all have at least one robot vacuum and mop combo that deals with its own dust and dirty mopping pads all in the same dock, and nearly all of them have gotten a groundbreaking discount for Black Friday 2024.

And by "groundbreaking discounts," I mean new record-low prices across the board, giving you plenty of options to treat yourself to hands-off cleaning amid holiday stress. I'm tracking the best self-emptying robot vacuum deals below and will be refreshing this list as more options pop up throughout Cyber Monday. Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

I think of the Roborock Qrevo S as the diet version of my favorite self-emptying robot vacuum right now, the Roborock Qrevo Master. And unless you're one of the few open to spending $1,000 or more on a robot vacuum, you can probably deal with the Qrevo S skipping the Qrevo Master's fluff features like a livestream pet camera or extending side mop.

And anyway, the most important aspect about the Qrevo S is that it has that coveted self-washing and drying mopping pad feature baked into its self-empty dock. I also have to give Roborock credit for arming this Qrevo with the same dual spinning mopping pads as the Qrevo Master, which I feel do a more detailed mopping job than a singular pad that lays flat across the bottom of the vacuum.

If it sweetens the deal at all, just know that I had already honed in on the Roborock Qrevo S as one of the best early Black Friday robot vacuum deals when it originally went on sale for $549.99 in early November. Now, it's almost $100 cheaper than that.

If you have an endless appetite for books (guilty), then you know reading can be an expensive hobby. That's true whether you're a fiend for hardcovers or dedicated to the e-reader life. Luckily, platforms like Libby and Kindle Unlimited can save you a pretty penny on all the latest arrivals. However, if you want to read exactly what you want and not wait around for your library holds to come through, it pays to splurge on an e-book.

Whether you need to escape your family or are headed on a holiday vacation, the best Kindle is a fully stocked Kindle. Now that Black Friday is wrapping up and we're getting ready for Cyber Monday, you can stock your library with new bestsellers starting at just $0.99. We've found fiction and non-fiction books marked down by 93% at the Kindle store.

So, to find your next read, here are the best Black Friday deals on Kindle books. (And, yes, Kindles are on sale, too.)

Do you need a Kindle to read Kindle books?

Not necessarily, though we do have to say, Kindles are totally worth it. Your Kindle purchases may not work on other e-readers, but that doesn't mean you have to have a Kindle. Using the Kindle app, you can read your e-books on tablets and smartphones, too. The Kindle app gives you flexibility so you don't need to spend a hundred dollars on an e-reader.

The Kindle app is available on iOS and Android devices so you can start reading on your existing smartphone, tablet, or laptop. And if you want a Kindle, Amazon recently marked down nearly all of the new Kindles. You can find savings of up to 23% on the top-tier Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which is down to $154.99; the new 2024 Kindle is available for just $84.99.
