Amazon hasn't announced any big sales for 2026 just yet, but based on last year's calendar, it's likely they will very soon.
The beginning of the year is usually dry when it comes to big bargain blowouts, but this time last year Amazon held its Big Smile Day sales between March 17 and March 23. It's possible they'll do so again in 2026.
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.
When Amazon has a sale, a lot of the good deals require an Amazon Prime membership. That's OK: if you don't have one, you can sign up for a free one-month trial below.

When is the next big Amazon sale in 2026?
Amazon hasn't announced a sale for 2026 just yet. Using 2025 sales as a guide, Amazon ran its Big Smile Sale from March 17 to March 23 last year. That means we could see another sales event any day now.
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 winter sale. However, you can easily pick up a 30-day free trial to comfortably see you through the event without spending a cent (provided you cancel your subscription before the recurring payment).
