The best Amazon Prime gaming deals in Australia for 2026: The big event kicks off on July 7
Amazon has several big sales a year, and the next is the biggest
Amazon's ramping up to hold its third major sales event of 2026, and it's the biggest one. Amazon Prime Day will take place from July 7 through to July 13 in 2026, and as is always the case, it's set to have the biggest range and deepest discounts.
During Prime Day, Amazon can usually be relied on to offer steep discounts on peripherals, including gaming headsets, during its sales. Dramatic discounts on consoles or up-to-date gaming laptops doesn't seem especially likely at the moment, though we saw some major PS5 discounts in the second-half of 2025, and even the Switch 2 got a chunk taken off its RRP, despite it newly releasing in June.
Unlike Amazon Big Smile sale or Amazon Mid-Year sale, Prime Day is very much geared towards promoting Amazon's Prime subscription service. So you're probably going to want to be a member, which is free if you use a month-long introductory trial. Just remember to cancel before your first billing.
Amazon Prime | 30-day free trial
You will need an Amazon Prime membership to take part in this year's sale, but the retailer regularly offers free trials to get as many eyes on its site as possible. This 30-day offer will see you all the way through the sale without paying a cent!
Current Amazon discounts
Savings on the PS5 DualSense controller are exceedingly rare nowadays, which is especially annoying since they're very prone to stick drift and trigger button problems. So if you want one this is a decent discount, albeit not anywhere close to an all time low. Prices vary according to colours; White and Black are currently the cheapest.
A nice price on the most recent mainline Assassin's Creed adventure, which after years of fan demand, is set in Japan. According to our reviewer, "its dual protagonists improve on the series' stealth-driven roots and modern RPG leanings, though they're let down by a vague story that fails to make full use of either character."
Gearbox's newest open world looter shooter gets a tidy discount in the months after launch, despite Randy Pitchford suggesting it wouldn't happen. If you're after a 50+ hour RPG sprawl that you can play with friends, this is well worth it at this price.
This is only borderline a deal: AU$99 is what Amazon is charging as a matter of course for this new PS5 exclusive, undercutting most of the competition by at least AU$10. If you're after another sumptuous open world in the prestige Sony mould, and loved Ghost of Tsushima, this is worth investigation.
If you're after a gorgeous crime drama set in early 20th century Italy, you could do much worse than Mafia The Old Country. This one's also good if you're over the trappings of modern blockbuster open world games: sure, there's a big ol' map, but this one keeps things very story focused.
Although the ticket price on this is AU$44 now, it was at least AU$89 upon release back in March, so AU$29 is pretty extraordinarily cheap for a 2025 title. Sure, it's proven divisive, but if you're a fan of the series or have a crew who want to stab a bunch of monsters to death in a pretty open world, it's a good time.
A nice price on this PS5 port of Stalker 2, which originally released as an Xbox exclusive. If you're after a gritty survival take on the first-person shooter, I can't recommend it highly enough. More than just a run-and-gun FPS, this one boasts complex RPG elements and unpredictable open world exploration. It's also pretty damn tense and scary.
Last year's biggest horror gets a welcome discount, making it the perfect gift for your fave scare enthusiast, or a nice quiet pre-Christmas treat for yourself. Our review was glowing, writing that its the series' "most unsettling atmosphere and writing to date" though some people might not love the melee combat.
Bloodlines 2 has been divisive, and our review was unambiguously on the negative side. Still, among people who've waited so long for this sequel, there will be a desire to play it anyway, and this is about the best price we've seen for the modern vampire RPG. We called it "a boring, linear action brawler" but maybe you will call it a "masterpiece"? (Doubtful, but let's see.)
A little over AU$20 off this modern classic (which, I feel inclined to add, has now released across three Nintendo generations). If you've never played it, this is obviously the best way to do so.
Yes, Tears of the Kingdom is getting the "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" treatment too, though if you're new to the Switch Zelda games you should definitely start with Breath of the Wild. This is a good price for a meaty open world adventure.
If you didn't buy the Switch 2 bundle, you're going to need Mario Kart World whether you like it or not. It is basically law that everyone with a Nintendo console needs whichever Mario Kart game releases for that gen. Think you can get away with it? I dare you.
Amazon has carved 19% off the RRP for this new Pokémon game. It's the first in the series to release natively for Nintendo Switch 2 (though it's coming to the older Switch too) so expect proceedings to be sharper and smoother than the famously ropey Scarlet & Violet. This one ditches turn-based combat for a live-action approach that's reminiscent of the Xenoblade Chronicles games.
Hazelight's two-player odyssey skipped the original Nintendo Switch, but here it is for the Nintendo Switch 2. This co-op game is perfect for the extremely co-op friendly new console.
The official charging grip can connect to your two Joy-Con 2 controllers and transform them into one gamepad. Better yet, it can also charge them in the process, which the original grip that came with the OG Switch was missing out on.
