We're nearing the end of this year's Amazon Prime Day gaming deals, and while we've seen some hot products come and go, there's still a little bit of time to find some solid savings – even as the end draws nearer. I've been covering gaming discounts for many years, dealing in everything from Switch games to VR headsets, so I've learned some good instincts for figuring out what deals are worth caring about.
On top of experience working different sales events, I regularly go hands-on with all the latest gear, so I'm here to make sure you not only get the best deals before Prime Day is over, but that you're actually buying the kit that's worth it.
We're at an interesting point with gaming, which might have had an affect on the Amazon Prime gaming deals this time around. After all, the Nintendo Switch 2 has just launched, all while the Xbox has been having price increases to its RRPs. There's a lot of volatility in the market, even as there are some great deals to consider.
Below, we've got a roundup of the best Prime Day deals we've found that you can snag before the event is over tonight, July 11, at midnight PT.

What to expect from Prime Day gaming deals 2025
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 Slim has already seen some fantastic bundles in the first months of 2025, with a $50 discount and a free copy of Astro Bot or Call of Duty.
But what about those who already have a console under their belts? Well, other gaming discounts have been strong. As we've seen in previous years, the biggest discounts are going to be reserved for those long-standing entries in the catalog, but we're excited to see some serious cash off the likes of the Final Fantasy collection. Older releases tend to do quite well in Prime Day gaming deals after all.
Accessories like controllers and SSDs are also always a Prime Day favorite, and we often see the official DualSense on sale during larger holiday events. That $74.99 / £59.99 MSRP often gives way to a sale price of around $54.99 / £44.99 which is what we're hoping for this year. On the storage side, the 2TB Samsung 990 Pro is the one to watch in the future. It's the best PS5 SSD on the market, and dropped as low as $139.99 / £129.99 over Black Friday last year. SSDs have been a little harder to discount in the first few months of 2025, but this is hopefully where we'll land in the summer.
Watch List:
Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch OLED and original Nintendo Switch are in a tough spot right now, and I've seen discounts dropping pretty regularly on the older devices. That means value favors those picking up an original handheld this Prime Day – I haven't been expecting any savings on the Nintendo Switch 2.
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 still expected 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 The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Wonder slowly shedding their price tags, we could be in for a treat in the summer.
There's also Nintendo Switch accessories to consider. Anything not compatible with the new Nintendo Switch 2 is already tanking in price. The Hori Split Pad Pro Attachment Set has dropped as low as $39.99 ($40 off $79.99) since the new device released, and the Genki Covert Dock is a Prime Day favorite ready to see similar savings. If you have upgraded to the new console, it's well worth keeping an eye on MicroSD Express cards, cases, and screen protectors as well.
Watchlist:
Xbox
We haven't seen too many Xbox Series X deals on the shelves in the last few months. Prime Day gaming deals might not be as kind to the flagship console as it will the cheaper S model, though. Microsoft's price increases have made these consoles particularly difficult to justify in 2025, and savings are few and far between.
That means the majority of this year's Prime Day gaming deals for Xbox players will be focused on that magic Game Pass code. While discounts haven't been too appealing recently (the best we're generally able to find was $5 off a three-month subscription), these really are the holy grails of Xbox deals.
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 are the stars of this year's show.

Amazon Prime Day gaming deals: FAQ
When will Amazon Prime Day gaming deals end?
Amazon Prime Day gaming deals will end today, on July 11 at midnight PT. That means we've had four days of savings on the calendar this time around – an additional two days compared to previous years.
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 summer sale. However, you can easily pick up a 30-day free trial to comfortably see you through the event without spending a penny (provided you cancel your subscription before the recurring payment). As well as that, it's also worth noting that many retailers like Best Buy and Walmart in the US (and Currys and Very in the UK) often attempt to price match Amazon's biggest Prime Day gaming deals.
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.
