With the football season in full swing, Madden NFL 22 might be a bit more attractive purchase for Xbox and PlayStation users. The good news is that, with the holiday season right around the corner, it's time for most major retailers to start divulging what kind of Black Friday deals are going to be available in the coming days. Indeed, it appears that there are going to be plenty of places keen-eyed shoppers can look in order to get a really cheap copy of the game, whether talking about the Xbox One and PS4 or the Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

Madden NFL 22 has had a bit of an up and down run since it launched in August. While there's been very little doubt that the graphics and performance are better than the previous iteration, there have also been bugs and glitches that have plagued the title, though EA has seemingly been studious in trying to stamp out those problems with multiple updates. With those updates and improvements over the last few months, Madden NFL 22 is almost certainly going to be worth a look, especially on the deep discounts that are going to be offered up for Black Friday.

The Black Friday sales are all kicking off around the same day with those lucky enough to have a Meijer in their area getting a one-day jump the other sales, as it will go live on November 21 and running the whole week. Shoppers at that store will be able to get Madden NFL 22 for the Xbox One and PS4 for just $29.99 a piece.

While that's certainly quite a deal, offering $30 off the regular price, Meijer is actually getting beat out during the Black Friday period by Walmart. Walmart is in fact going to be discounting both the previous and current generation versions of Madden NFL 22, with the Xbox One and PS4 copies selling for just $26 and the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions for $35. Target is also getting in on the action, offering the PS4 and Xbox One versions for $29.99, but it appears Walmart is the only store that's featuring the current-gen console versions for sale.

Those who are wanting to get jumping on their holiday video game shopping don't have to wait until these Black Friday sales go live in order to save a pretty penny on Madden NFL 22. Walmart is allowing customers to save about $20 on both the last-gen and current-gen versions of the game. Amazon has joined in the fun, though its deals only apply to the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions of the game as of this writing.

With this many deals either already active or going live in short order, one thing is clear. There's really no excuse not to save some serious cash on the latest Madden NFL installment.
