Prime Day PS5 deals are rolling on, and with a fresh day of savings come some casualties. I've seen a number of prices jumping back up the ladder this morning, including one of our top picks from earlier in the sale, Pragmata. That means things are certainly moving in Sony's world, if you see a price you like it's worth getting in there.
These offers officially close out at midnight tonight, but that's just the end of Prime Day PS5 deals as we know them today. In reality, we're likely to see a lot of these discounts repeated over the next few weeks as the run up to Black Friday PS5 deals intensifies.
Right now, there are plenty of offers still standing. First up, though, for those hunting down a PS5 console, there's very little chance of the devices themselves seeing any serious price cuts. 2026 has been plagued by inflated rates, which means the best way to buy a PS5 right now is to go refurbished via Sony itself. PS Direct has both disc and digital models for $100 less than their new MSRPs this week.
More of this year's Prime Day PS5 deals are going to serve those already with a console with the best PS5 accessories and the best PS5 games a lot better.
We prioritize value and performance in every gadget we feature, so this guide is free from cheap tat. Instead, we're focusing on the tech and games we've had in our own setups over the last few years and recommend everyday. Not only that, but we're concentrating our efforts around record-low (or the year's best) prices. That means you're getting Prime Day PS5 deals on the best tech at the best price.

I've been tracking Prime Day PS5 deals for years now, starting out originally as a Deals Editor at our sister site TechRadar, before moving over to GamesRadar+. That means I know where to spot the best prices, how much you should actually pay, and which games and gadgets are actually worth your time and money.

When to wait for Black Friday
Prime Day PS5 deals are into their second day now, but when should you actually hold off until Black Friday?
Well, if we're talking a game you want to play as soon as possible at its lowest price yet I'd jump right in. While we could see an additional $5-or-so off later in the month, if we're already at rock-bottom pricing on an older release it's well worth getting the extra time in.
If you're looking at a more recent PS5 release with only $10 off, it's time to weigh up some options. There could be additional savings that drop these kinds of titles down to $39.99 or $49.99 later in the year. Whether that extra discount is worth a couple months of playtime is up to you.
Accessories are a little easier to pin down. Most of the best PS5 controllers and best PS5 headsets will be pretty firm in their discount rates between now and Black Friday. Amazon's October Big Deals event generally kicks off his holiday shopping window. If something's at a new record-low price now, it's unlikely to see significant extra savings later in the month. Retailers tend to rotate through the same discounts all the way up to, and often including, Black Friday in November. If we do see extra price cuts on more expensive gadgets, they'll often only be by an additional $10 or so.
Amazon has a whole deals section for new offers...
... but it's looking pretty weedy.
I didn't expect a whole onslaught of new discounts this morning, but I had hoped PS5 players would get a second look at the stroke of midnight. Amazon has a whole section of its main deals page dedicated to new offers that have landed today, but there's very little here in the way of gaming, let alone specifics for Sony's console.
Strangely there's a lot of shoes...
An improvement on this PS5 controller discount from yesterday
The Razer Raiju V3 Pro is one of our favorite pro pads for the PS5, but it's not quite been hitting its margins this Prime Day. The $220 controller has been regularly on sale for between $170 and $200 over the course of the year, with a record-low of $129.99 back in February.
Yesterday, Amazon dropped a $180 price tag on this all-in-one controller, but it felt a little soft considering the spring's $169.99 position. I've just spotted the white version going for $161.12, which could give us a little more wiggle room.
See, it's not the lowest price of the year (so won't be making it into my top picks further up the page), but it is still a better price than you would have seen for 99% of the year. If you can hold off for the return of that $129.99 I would, but this is still a solid rate if you're in need of a new pad.
Razer Raiju V3 Pro | $219.99 $161.12 at Amazon
The Scuf Omega is at a record-low price, but it's a tad more expensive
The Scuf Omega is the brand's latest PS5 controller, only launching a few months ago. That means this smaller 15% discount represents a record-low price on the FPS-first device, though we've only been dropped off at $186.99 here. That's still $25 more than the Razer Raiju V3 Pro.
If it's between the two, I'd go with Razer. The Omega feels great in the hands and still keeps the Raiju's clackety face buttons, but it has these little nubbin side buttons that can be a little too easy to accidentally press. The Raiju on the other hand keeps many of the same features but relocates these extra controls to a small clicker next to the main triggers.
Scuf Omega | $219.99 $186.99 at Amazon
Of course if you want to spend as little as possible, Nacon's my top recommendation
Neither the Razer Raiju nor the Scuf Omega are sitting in my top recommendations list today, but the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is.
This is an older PS5 controller, but it's still got plenty of remappable options, Hall effect sticks, and easy app configuration. It's always been a go-to for a more budget-friendly pro pad, and it's at its lowest price of the year right now.
You're saving a wad of cash compared to both Scuf and Razer here, with a $123.48 sales price attached to this camo version. It's been a few bucks cheaper back in 2025, but so far this one's been a little difficult to nail down in 2026.
Just note the new Nacon Revolution 5 Unlimited is heading our way as well.
Nacon Revolution 5 Pro | $199.99 $123.48 at Amazon
Enough controller talk!
We went into a bit of a rabbit hole there, but if you're on the hunt for a pro gamepad in this week's Prime Day PS5 deals at least you've got a wad of options. Still, let's move onto another aspect of your PS5 setup; audio.
My top pick is still the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni today. It's the best gaming headset we've tested overall and it's dropped to a brand new record-low price. We're still looking at $300+ here, though, so I'm going running through the aisles to see what else we recommend in today's offers.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni | $399.99 $344.99 at Amazon
A much cheaper alternative to the Omni Pro Wireless
SteelSeries has far more horses in the stable, and the Nova 3 is the littlest of them all. It's still got this brand's pedigree audio that puts it well above other similarly priced models, while offering that same ski-band style comfort found on more expensive iterations. Throw in a slick EQ preset app, 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, and a 40 hour battery life and you've got a sturdy mid-range buy here.
Right now Woot is back down to the lowest price I've ever seen on this PS5 headset. That $109.99 MSRP usually only dips to the $70s and $80s at Amazon, but you'll find the blue version for $59.99 here today.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P | $109.99 $59.99 at Woot
Just need a budget PS5 headset?
That's where the Turtle Beach Atlas 200 comes in. This is a budget-friendly headset even on a bad day, starting life at $59.99. However, it's frequently on sale and has dropped to a record-low $34.99 for Prime Day.
That's a great price for those looking to spend as little as possible while finding a better audio solution than their TV's speakers. The wired cups deliver a surprisingly robust audio profile and connect easily to the DualSense controller.
We were impressed by the value on offer when we reviewed the Atlas 200 earlier this year, and it even carries across that super comfortable mesh headband from the Atlas Air as well.
Turtle Beach Atlas 200 | $59.99 $34.99 at Amazon
A quick PSA for my Dragon Quest pals
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is down to its lowest ever price on PS5. We're more than $30 off the $59.99 MSRP, and doing $10 better than other retailers right now. This is a must-see for any fans of the classic JRPG series, especially those yearning for more in the absence of DQ12.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined | $59.99 $28.69 at Amazon
One new deal for PS5 racing fans
The Thrustmaster T248R is a fantastic entry point into sim racing on PS5, and it's now cheaper than ever. This force feedback racing wheel took its time joining Prime Day PS5 deals, but this morning dropped from $299.99 to $229.99. That's a record-low by more than $40. This one generally hovers between $280 and the full $349, though it's been pretty locked in at $299 for a couple of months now.
Thrustmaster T248R | $299.99 $229.99 at Amazon
Don't like the look of the Stage Tour guitars?
Stage Tour isn't due to land until December, but the $129.99 Kramer guitar bundle is already up for grabs. Don't like the look of the standard guitar? The game will also be available separately for $39.99 and you can pick up the PDP Riffmaster (compatible on PS5) for $85.49 this Prime Day.
That's about $15 cheaper than we see it day to day, this one's usually found for $99.99 rather than the full $149.99 whack. However, it's not up with my top picks. While we gave it a fairly sturdy rating in review, it's been $10 cheaper this year so far - back in June when it hit $75.49. Still, we're in a better position than most days here.
PDP Riffmaster | $149.99 $85.49 at Amazon
RIP this tiny saving on Halo: Campaign Evolved
It only took a $5 discount for Best Buy to run out of stock on the PS5 version of Halo: Campaign Evolved The $49.99 release dropped to $44.99 in the retailer's competing TechTober sale but it's now been swept off the shelves. Amazon is also out of stock on the PS5 disc, so your best bet right now is Walmart.
Speaking of Walmart...
It's currently the only retailer you'll find discounting 007 First Light to compete against this week's Prime Day PS5 deals. The Bond blockbuster has held firm at $69.99 at Amazon and Best Buy since release, but Walmart (via Antonline) has the disc for $62.10 right now. That's not a massive saving, but it's certainly something.
007: First Light | $69.99 $62.10 at Walmart
Should you buy a PS5 Pro in 2026?
I first reviewed the PS5 Pro on release, and even then I didn't think it was worth the money to upgrade - unless you were particularly focused on getting the best experience possible and you played in a monitor setup. With all these price increases flying around, the Pro is even harder to justify.
You're looking at a $900 outlay for this boosted console. That's difficult from both an upgrader and a late-adopter's point of view. If you've already got an OG PS5 or a PS5 Slim, you're looking at a full $899 just for a little extra detail in your ray tracing.
If you're in the market for a new console, even the uptick over the digital edition's $599 price tag isn't going to be worth it overall.
Need a cheaper racing wheel?
The T248 featured earlier still strikes the right balance between features and price for beginners, but if you're going further into the budget realm its sibling is also taking part in Prime Day PS5 deals.
The Thrustmaster T128 P still brings force feedback into play but drops your pedals down to two and sacrificing a lot of power behind the wheel. This is the one to choose if you just want to drive, opt for the T248 if you're more interested in the next level of immersion.
Thrustmaster T128 P | $229.99 $149.99 at Amazon
Why are third party PS5 controllers so expensive?
In short, because Sony's pretty strict on what it lets its PS5 talk to. Hardware licensing around the system is pretty hardcore, a lot more restrictive compared to Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Everything that works with the PlayStation needs to go through Sony's own licensing process.
That's why you'll only generally find premium pro controllers on the shelves, from the likes of Razer, Scuf, and Nacon. If they're clearing a gamepad, they want to make sure it's going to be worth their while.
The cheapest PS5 upgrade you'll find this Prime Day
Don't want to break the bank in this week's Prime Day PS5 deals? That's where thumbstick toppers come in. KontrolFreek has a sturdy supply discounted at Amazon right now, with grippy, textured caps designed for better handling and precision in faster titles.
Of course, it's not all about function here. There's a range of game inspired caps to choose from here as well.
KontrolFreek thumbstick toppers | $16.99 $13.59 at Amazon
Best Buy's not looking great for games
I mean, Amazon only has a few bangers on the shelves this week but Best Buy is falling even further behind. We've got a share of discounts here, sure - Mafia: The Old Country has hit $29.99, you can get some Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound for less than $20, and Battlefield 6 is $15 off.
There's just nothing headline worthy in this lineup. Considering Amazon's chopping prices on the latest Resident Evil and newer releases like Blood of Dawnwalker there's a disparity here.
There are some particularly rough PS5 prices going right now
I can forgive Amazon for not discounting the PS5 this Prime Day, but charging over the odds for an OG device? That's pretty rough.
The digital edition Slim model will run you $599 brand new these days, but third party listings have the 2020 version for a whopping $750. Needless to say, this isn't worth your time - but if you're are hunting down a new console this week it's worth the PSA.
When will Prime Day PS5 deals officially end?
Amazon's current roster of Prime Day PS5 deals are due to close out at midnight tonight. That means these Prime-exclusive savings will start ticking up the price scale - but it's not the end of the world if you miss out.
Even in earlier summer sales, we often see many savings sticking around for a few days after the main event. The October affair? That's where things get interesting.
In previous years we've seen these Prime Day discounts essentially kickstarting the entire holiday sales season. Typically retailers will be rotating through similar offers in the next few weeks, culminating in November's big bash.
Yep, PS5 storage is a pain at the moment
Component shortages have pushed prices on SSDs sky-high this year, which is why you'll likely struggle to find a decent storage solution for your PS5 this holiday season. Amazon has a few offers out there, like a 2TB Lexar stick for $271.99 or a 1TB Acer Predator GM7 drive for $159.99, but if you were hoping for the kinds of prices we'd have seen last year it's best to maximize your own inbuilt storage before taking the extra SSD plunge.
The vampire RPG so nice we recommended it twice
Yes, I recommended The Blood of Dawnwalker in yesterday's Prime Day PS5 deals live blog, and I'm doing it again today because it's just that good. Although way smaller in scope than Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, The Blood of Dawnwalker is one of those rare, masterfully written RPGs where every interaction feels substantial and rewarding, where immediately second-guess every dialogue choice you make, and where simply wandering around almost always yields a delightful surprise. Here, it's wrapped up in a deliciously gothic package that just sweetens the deal for horror sickos like me. Save $10 on it this Prime Day.
The Blood of Dawnwalker (PS5) | $59.99 at Amazon
Some would say Final Fantasy Tactics is the best game in the whole series. Its acclaimed remake is half off for Prime Day
Final Fantasy 7 is probably the most popular pick for best game in the series, but you'll find a loyal fanbase choosing the 1997 tactical RPG, Final Fantasy Tactics, with most in agreement that it features one of the strongest and most meaningful stories in the whole franchise. Its 2025 remake, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, received glowing reviews including our own 4.5/5-star writeup. That beautiful retelling is on sale for 50% off for Prime Day. It's not the lowest price we've ever seen, but if you've been waiting for a reason to play The Ivalice Chronicles, you could certainly do worse than this PS5 deal.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles (PS5) | $29.99 at Amazon
GOTY frontrunner (before GTA 6) Resident Evil Requiem has a scary-good discount for Prime Day
Horror fans are eating good this year, with Resident Evil Requiem and Silent Hill Townfall having both released to fantastic reviews. The latest Resident Evil game in particular has seen near universal acclaim, and as a lifelong fan of the series, I can confirm it's worth your time and then some. A genius balancing act between tension and catharsis with its dual protagonists, series darling Leon Kennedy and anxious newcomer Grace Ashcroft, Resident Evil Requiem is one of the best games in the nearly 30-year-old series, and it's 29% off for Prime Day.
Resident Evil Requiem (PS5) | $49.99 at Amazon
It's not too late to score a PS5 Prime Day deal... but it's starting to get late
If you've been pulling all-nighters in preparation for this year's Prime Day PS5 deals, but then you collapsed in exhaustion and slept through the last couple of days, and now you're frazzled and panicked that you missed all the good savings, fear not, intrepid deal hunter, I'm here to walk you through the final hours of Prime Day PS5 deals.
All that said, we are definitely in the late, late phase of the sale, which means if there's a discount that's caught you're eye and you're waiting for a lower price, it might be time to stop waiting. There's no guarantee it won't get lower as the night goes on, and there's always Black Friday around the corner, but if the price is right, you might want to consider pulling the trigger before it's too late.
Wrap yourself in a JRPG blanket with this huge discount on Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake
There's a lot of debate about the best Dragon Quest game, which is funny because it's obviously Dragon Quest 11, but Dragon Quest 3 makes an incredibly strong case for itself. I could definitely get down with ranking Dragon Quest 3 as the best of the original trilogy, but in the interest of avoiding getting into a debate with JRPG nerds, I'll just get straight to the deal on offer here.
For Prime Day, Dragon Quest 3: HD-2D Remake is going for 58% off its normal price of $59.99, which brings the price down to its 30-day low. It's been lower than that before, but not by much and not very often. If your idea of fall is wrapping yourself in a crisp JRPG blanket, you can't go wrong with this deal.
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D (PS5) | $24.99 at Amazon
90-day low price on one of the great couch co-op games
I'm wrapping up my time running the Prime Day PS5 deals live blog with one more game recommendation, this time one of my all-time favorite couch co-op games, Split Fiction.
Local co-op games are an increasingly rare commodity, with It Takes Two studio Hazelight really carrying the torch these days. Split Fiction is the studio's most recent release, and it is every bit as good as It Takes Two, even if it lacks a tiny bit of its heart. If you want to sit down with a friend and guarantee yourselves a good time, Split Fiction is your game. It's down to a 90-day low price during Prime Day, knocking the usual $49.99 price tag down by 35%.
Split Fiction (PS5) $32.49 at Amazon
