The Annual Franchises
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War stood its ground at retail and kept its MSRP price — PlayStation 5? PlayStation 4? It didn’t matter, Activision Blizzard weren’t discounting that game at retail. Very strange to see.
Watch Dogs: Legion continued its discount journey from $49.99 of Black Friday to $39.99 for Boxing Day. Not surprising.
Other Releases
A whole $5 was chipped off Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time’s Black Friday sale price, but everything else was largely the same…

A handful of games may creep back up by $10 or so, but the likes of Sony don’t even bother changing sale prices between Black Friday and Boxing Day. It might as well have been a temporary price drop between end of November until early January.
