Best Buy is celebrating the summer with a massive Tech Fest sale this week, and I've spent the day sorting the wheat from the chaff. We get our paws on all the latest and greatest gaming tech here at GamesRadar+, which means I've got an eye for the products that are actually worth your time.

I started my hunt for the best gaming deals in this week's Tech Fest sale by opening up every tab I recognized from our top recommendations. That was a Chrome nightmare - there is some gold on these shelves.

Then I checked price history. I've been tracking major sales like this for over five years now, so I know retailers don't generally make their best offers in August. If anything from that initial shortlist has been cheaper in the recent past (ie over Prime Day) then it's likely to drop again in the near future. I've only kept the gadgets at or near record-lows that are actually worth hopping on.

Today's top Best Buy Tech Fest deals for gamers

1. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered | $49.99 $29.99 at Best BuySave $20 -

1. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered | $49.99 $29.99 at Best Buy

5. Seagate Game Drive for Xbox (5TB) | $149.99 $129.99 at Best Buy
Save $20 - It's a smaller saving on a larger hard drive, but the Seagate Game Drive generally only ever drops to this $129.99 sales price. If you're looking to back up a whole Game Pass library this is a worthy investment at a record-low rate.

6. WD Black SN770M 2TB SSD | $239.99 $169.99 at Best Buy
Save $70 - We're just on the cusp of eligibility here. The WD Black SN770M has been $10 cheaper in the last few months, but it only hit $157 over Prime Day. We're in spitting distance of that record-low, and even this $70 discount is rare on this internal handheld SSD.

8. Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 RTX 5060 gaming laptop | $1,799.99 $1,399.99 at Best Buy
Save $400 - The G14 has been $50 cheaper in the past, but considering discounts on these newer RTX 5060 configurations are still sparse it just sneaks into this list. Best Buy's Tech Fest sale has $400 off this mid-range rig - not bad considering there's 32GB RAM and an OLED display up for grabs.
