We're in the final few hours of this Fall Prime Day gaming deals event, so it's time to scout out those last minute offers and head to checkout. We've seen plenty of excellent offers across PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC this week - and with some of the more impressive offers already leaving the shelves due to low stock it's time to get down to business. These Big Deal Days offers are landing on everything from controllers to games, so whatever platform you're on you'll find plenty of record low prices. That means you've got another chance to secure a discount before Black Friday gaming deals take off in November.
This isn't dejavu, Amazon is bringing back many of its summer Prime Day gaming deals for the fall season, and you'll still need to be a Prime member to access the bigger savings. However, this is a timely event. This is generally when we start to see early holiday offers hitting the shelves, which means other retailers are also getting in on the action. In the US we're seeing competing sale prices on some of the biggest products from Best Buy and Walmart, and the UK is enjoying plenty of additional discounts from Currys, Very, and Argos.
We're bringing you all of today's best Prime Day gaming deals, so you can sit back and relax as we do all the web trawling for the biggest offers.

FAQ
When will the October Prime Day gaming deals end?
This wave of Prime Day gaming deals will finish up at midnight tonight, with Amazon's Big Deal Days event coming to a close on October 11. If you do run out of time, though, it's worth noting that Black Friday gaming deals are just around the corner, so we should be seeing more offers live shortly.
Do you need a membership for Prime Day gaming deals?
Yes, you will need a Prime membership to take advantage of the majority of this year's fall sale. You can easily pick up a free trial to comfortably see you through the event without spending a penny, though, and it's also worth noting plenty of other retailers are looking to compete. That means we'd recommend keeping a close eye on Best Buy and Walmart in the US (and Currys and Very in the UK), who will no doubt be price matching Amazon's biggest Prime Day gaming deals.
What to expect from Prime Day gaming deals in October 2023
Those on the hunt for Prime Day gaming deals are casting a wide net so to help you narrow your catch, we're rounding up everything we expect to see on a platform basis. You'll find our predictions for the biggest discounts in the worlds of PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC just below.
PS5
The PS5 has been holding its position on the shelves for months now, and we've even been reaping some discounts as well. Amazon has dropped the console to $49 / £399 (usually $499 / £479) since July's Prime Day gaming deals, which bodes particularly well for anyone looking to save some cash in Prime Day PS5 deals round two. Over in the UK, bundle prices have fallen since the summer sale, typically sitting at between £479.99 and £519.99 for the highest value offers. We've even seen cheaper games included in the discounted £399.99 rate for free, so look out for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga over at Currys over the next couple of weeks. That means it's all to play for come the summer.
But what about those who already have a console under their belts? Well, games are already looking strong as well. As we've seen in previous years, the biggest discounts are going to be reserved for those long-standing entries in the catalogue, but we're excited to see some serious cash off the likes of Horizon: Forbidden West, God of War: Ragnarok, Elden Ring, The Callisto Protocol, The Last of Us Part 1, and Dying Light 2. The previous year's releases tend to do quite well in Prime Day gaming deals after all. However, if you're after something a little newer, it's well worth keeping a close eye on Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Resident Evil 4, Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Island 2, and Atomic Heart. We've already seen discounts on some of these games in the July sale, so hopefully Dead Island 2 and Atomic Heart will follow suit in October.
This October Prime Day is also a great opportunity to kit out your setup ahead of the Fall release slate. As far as official Sony gear goes, we're optimistic. The $69 / £59 DualSense itself dropped to $59.99 / £56.99 in last year's offers, but fell further to $49 / £39 over Black Friday. While this year's July sale wasn't quite as kind to us, we'd still be on the look out for some record low prices.
If you're after some quality audio, though, we'd recommend keeping a close eye on the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. It's the best PS5 headset we've had around our noggins and, while it's pricey at $349.99 / £329.99, we have seen that cost start to shift. July's Prime Day gaming deals had this device at £269 in the UK so while US prices weren't quite as wobbly we're optimistic for some more savings on both sides of the pond.
Xbox
Despite winning the stock race, we haven't seen too many Xbox Series X deals on the shelves in the last few months. October's Prime Day might not be as kind to the flagship console as it will the cheaper S model, though. Over Black Friday last year we saw record low prices on this budget system, $219.99 in the US and £189.99 in the UK (was $299.99 / £249 respectively). This is where the bargain offers really come in handy, and where we're expecting both Amazon and Microsoft to place their discounts in the summer. Be sure to keep a close eye on other retailers here as well, last year we saw a $75 gift card available at Dell, which technically made it the best value on the shelves.
That said, the majority of this year's Prime Day gaming deals for Xbox players will be focused on that magic Game Pass code. While July's discounts weren't too appealing (the best we could find was $5 off a three month subscription), Black Friday last year offered up an $18 discount on a three month membership via CDKeys in the US (£11 off in the UK). The resulting $26 / £21 sales prices may well repeat themselves in the now that we're in the fall months.
Thankfully, there's no shortage of kit. Official controllers are going to be the most interesting sellers here; the cheaper Xbox Wireless Controller, mid-range Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller, and premium Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller will likely be the stars of this year's show. The basic gamepad has been happy at a $39 / £35 sale price for a few events now, including Black Friday last year. Prime Day has never quite reached these discounts before, but we're hopeful that the age of these buttons might prevail. If you're looking to spend a bit more on one of the best Xbox Series X controllers on the market, the Elite Series 2 is where you should be looking. Unfortunately, it's not the best buy right now.
Last year the $179.99 / £159.99 customizable gamepad actually raised its price from $140 to $150 over Prime Day sales. That's not a good look. Things have remained steady at $150 / £140 for some time now, and don't look likely to drop further - thanks to the new Core version with its $129.99 / £129.99 MSRP. We saw that Core controller shave $10 / £10 off its price in July's Prime Day sale, but since then costs have dipped to $99 in the US so there should be more wiggle room come October.
Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch OLED hasn't been performing quite so well in the first half of 2023. Last year we were seeing early discounts saving you up to $30 on the console in the US, whereas you'd be lucky to find a $10 saving so far this year. With Black Friday only kicking that $349.99 MSRP down to $319.99 in particularly speedy flash sales, we're not too confident in headline savings here. We're expecting to see bundles taking the forefront, with Amazon offering a $349.99 console and an additional game free or heavily discounted. The same is likely to be true of the standard edition console, though we have been seeing official bundles holding onto the shelves a lot longer in recent months. The Mario 'Choose One' bundle has stuck around for weeks now, much like the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle did over Black Friday.
Over in the UK we are seeing discounts kick the OLED model down to £299 (was £309) with a lot more regularity, however the biggest value is found in bundles. With gift cards, free Switch Online memberships, and heavily discounted games, these package offers are going to be where the greatest savings are found.
Of course, Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals are a lot more reliable when it comes to games. While we generally don't see the kinds of discounts we would expect from Black Friday here, we're still expecting to see some $20 / £20 discounts on the likes of Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart, and Super Mario Odyssey. Newer games walk a finer line, but with more and more titles like Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Kirby and the Forgotten Lands slowly shedding their price tags we could be in for a treat in the summer.
We did see Tears of the Kingdom take some tasty discounts in the July sale as well, which means we'd recommend keeping a close eye out in October.
There's also Nintendo Switch accessories like Ring Fit Adventure, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, and other gadgets and gizmos to consider. The former options regularly come in at around $59.99 / £59.99 during these larger sales events, which is a price we would be aiming for ourselves. However, if you're after the best Nintendo Switch controllers on the market we'd recommend veering away from Amazon. We typically see far better Nintendo Switch Pro Controller prices at Walmart and additional bundle deals at Best Buy in the US, whereas Amazon has yet to drop $10 off the $69.99 MSRP. Over in the UK, things are a little kinder - we could see prices get closer to that £45 record low set during the summer last year.
PC
The world of the best gaming laptops is changing right now. With the advent of RTX 40-Series graphics cards and AMD and Intel's latest processors, things are getting much more powerful incredibly quickly. That means RTX 30-Series laptops are going to be excellent value in this year's fall Prime Day gaming laptop deals. Options like the Asus TUF Dash F15 and Alienware M15 R7 (if you can find any) are going to be particularly well placed for anyone looking to spend $700 - $1,200 (£700-£1,200) and still pick up some decent performance. However, if we do see prices on RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 rigs dropping ahead of October's event, these newer machines are going to represent better value for money. The jump in performance from these cards already makes these options better value for money, and with a few hundred dollars or pounds knocked off there could be a real steal out there next month.
Gaming PCs are going to be a slightly different story. We rarely see too many high quality offers going on Amazon itself, however we'd heartily recommend anyone on the hunt for a permanent desktop take a look around the web in October. Retailers like Newegg and Microcenter in the US (and Ebuyer, CCL, and Overclockers in the UK) regularly look to compete during these sales. There, you'll find prebuilt machines and a range of components likely at some solid prices. Just be sure to price up a parts list before picking up an offer, just to double check you can't get it cheaper in another form.
We're anticipating some of the most tempting offers to come from accessories, though. If you're after a new set of keys, the Asus ROG Azoth is our top contender. It's the best gaming keyboard we've tested so far, and it's only just started to ditch its $249.99 MSRP. The keyboard dropped to $209 in the summer sale, and we're hopeful for a return to this price (if not a slightly larger discount) in October. If you're after something a little cheaper, the HyperX Alloy Elite 2 is always a solid $100 or less option in the sales.
Those after a new rodent will likely find plenty of the best gaming mouse models on the shelves in this year's Prime Day gaming deals. We'll be keeping a close eye on the Razer Viper V2 Pro as it's our favorite pointer available, and it's just starting to dip down to $119 (usually $149). The Razer Basilisk V3 is also a fantastic all-rounder, which we expect to see at around $50, but actually dropped to $40 in July's Prime Day gaming deals.
If you're fully kitting out a setup, we'd watch out for any discounts on the AOC 24G2 / 24G2U - it's the best gaming monitor you can find for under $250 right now, and is regularly found for far less than that. However, the Asus TUF VG27AQ is always a solid shout during Prime Day as well.
VR
We can already say with some certainty that 2023's Prime Day VR deals will be better than last year's. That's because of that Meta Quest 2 price drop, returning the 128GB headset to its previous $299 / £299 MSRP and kicking the 256GB model down to a record low $349 / £349. Whether we see further discounts on these new prices come October's Prime Day Meta Quest deals is another story, but you're already getting excellent value here. We could, however, see additional games and accessories thrown in for free, usually offering around $50 / £50 of value. These are the offers that we saw over Black Friday over the last two years, and they're sticking around longer and longer as the Quest 2 ages.
We're not holding out too much hope when it comes to Prime Day VR deals on the PSVR 2, however. The headset has only recently made its way to Amazon in the US (and we're still waiting in the UK), and hasn't seen an improvement on that $549 MSRP in its entire life. If Prime Day gaming deals do hit this newer system, they will likely be in the form of bundles with additional games.
We tend to see the widest Prime Day VR discounts across accessories. Charging docks, Meta Quest straps, and earbuds will all see their own savings come the summer as well.
Of course, we're also rounding up all the staples like the best Prime Day Kindle deals and Prime Day tablet deals as well. We're also getting you prepped for this year's Prime Day iPad deals and Prime Day TV deals as well.
