Amazon Prime gaming deals in Australia for 2026 — PS5 and Switch 2 games are up for grabs during Prime Big Deal Days
Amazon has several big sales a year. This is the fourth
Amazon's fourth major sale for 2026, in the form of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, is about to end tonight (October 5). While the current state of the industry means there aren't huge console sales, it's a decent opportunity to pick up cheap games and accessories.
Like Prime Day, Prime Big Deal Days is partially 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.
We've rounded up all the best Prime Big Deal Days gaming deals still available on the last day of the sale below.

Current noteworthy Amazon discounts
PlayStation
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.
Arguably last year's greatest RPG gets a decent discount. Its been as low as AU$59 before but this is still worth it, and our review bears that out: "an outstanding visionary debut from Sandfall Interactive", Alan Wen wrote. Definitely a good one to have ahead of the summer holidays.
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.
Nintendo
This is currently Amazon's top-selling Nintendo Switch 2 game, though that's probably got a lot to do with the fact that most first-party Switch 2 games are out of stock. If you're in the market for this long-awaited but polarising instalment in the classic series, this is the best price I've seen on it since launch.
Multiplatform accessories
This is a genuinely premium drift-free hall effect gamepad with a big 'ol screen on it. It has super tactile microswitches, glowing RGB, trigger stops, rear paddle buttons, and it feels marvellous. It's pricey, but worth it.
Considering the price, this GameSir pro gamepad is incredibly feature rich. It has a 1000 Hz polling rate, TMR analog sticks, face button microswitches, Hall Effect triggers, paddle buttons, 2.4 Ghz wireless and Bluetooth. If you were thinking you need to drop multiple hundreds on these pro additions, reality has changed. Also available in black/red at the same price.
Also:
GameSir G7 Pro Dragon's Dogma 2 Edition - AU$179 AU$143.20
GameSir G7 Pro Zenless Zone Zero Edition - AU$239 AU$191.20
If you're into fighters this 8BitDo unit looks pretty fit-for-purpose, especially with its very overt NES stylings. It's compatible with PC and Switch, the former via 2.4G wi-fi or wired. It's as programmable as you'd expect, with low-profile mechanical switches, and a footprint roughly the size of an A4 sheet of paper.
Here's a great entry level racing wheel that'll play nice with PS4 and PS5 (hello, Gran Turismo). It's also compatible with PC.
This wireless set of cans has a durable aluminium body, up to 300 hours battery life (!) and supports PC, PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.
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.
The wireless Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller takes after its predecessor, but this time is decked out with new re-mappable GL/GR buttons, and the new 'C' button to initiate the brand-new Switch 2 Game Chat feature. This discount makes it a touch more affordable if you want to give your Joy-Cons a rest.
