Prime Day Steam Deck deals are here for a bit longer before Amazon's four-day sales event ends today at midnight PT.

While we knew from the jump that all the best gaming handhelds would be included in Prime Day gaming deals in 2025, all eyes have and will continue to be on the Steam Deck. So far, we've seen discounts on several of our favorite Steam Deck accessories get even better over the past few days.

It helps that the Steam Deck is an extremely customizable machine, and having the exact right gadgets to go with it can really take the lovely little handheld from an enjoyable time to a great one.

As usual, you'll need to head directly to Valve for discounts on the handheld hardware proper. But if it's accessories, storage, and even rivals you're after, Amazon has you covered until tonight.

In the meantime, there are plenty of Steam Deck accessory deals going around, and many of them don't even require a Prime subscription.

But don't take our word for it – see for yourself below.

Jsaux 65W USB-C charger | $25.99 $16.99 at Amazon
Save $9 - Trust me, even though the Steam Deck comes with a charger, you'll want a spare. That's especially true if you have a dock since you won't want to disrupt your setup when traveling constantly, and this 65W adapter is ideal for under $20. It also happens to be a record low price, so well worth jumping on while it's down.

Buy it if:  

✅ Your default charger is attached to a dock
✅ You need a spare for travelling
✅ You prefer having chargers in every room

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You have other 6W chargers (check your phone plug)

Jsaux Sling Bag for Steam Deck | $39.99 $31.99 at Amazon

FAQ

Do you need a Prime membership for Prime Day Steam Deck deals?

You'll only need a Prime membership for the Amazon offers exclusively reduced for members, but we often see plenty of discounts pop up that technically don't require a monthly fee. That said, if you're new, you'll be able to sign up for a 30-day free trial, get access to every offer, and take advantage of free delivery.

Amazon Prime 30-day free trial

Amazon Prime 30-day free trial
Amazon has a 30-day free trial available for its Prime membership, meaning you don't even need to pay to take part in Prime Day deals this year. Be sure to set a reminder, though – this subscription will auto-renew at a rate of $14.99 / £7.99 a month

When do Prime Day Steam Deck deals start?

Prime Day 2025 kicked off July 8, and the event took place over four days until today, July 11. Originally, the sale used to take place on a specific "day," but it has evolved into a week-long event that even ends up with a sequel in October.

What to expect from Prime Day Steam Deck deals 2025

Last year, Valve got somewhat ahead of the curve by offering up to 15% off the Steam Deck 64GB and 512GB models weeks before Prime Day. The likely reason for this was to clear space for the Steam Deck OLED, so it makes sense that such discounts haven't yet emerged this year.

That said, it's highly likely that Valve will offer up discounts in line with Prime Day, as they serve as a nice way to win back attention following the Nintendo Switch 2 launch. Last year, the 64GB and 512GB dropped to $296.65 and $381.65 respectively, which could mean the cheapest LCD model and new 512GB OLED will drop in price instead. If that happens, we might end up with the former coming in at under $300, whereas the premium model is more likely to sit under $500.

As for what you'll be able to grab using your Prime subscription, you should be able to grab sweet savings on docking stations, cases, and more. Our current favorite dock, the Baseus 6-in-1, dropped to just above $30 last year, setting a new record low for the add-on. Jsaux also showed up to the bargain bin party, with its dock diving from $39.99 to $25.99.

The Prime event has also proven to be a good time to look out for things like wireless earbuds, and we were digging discounts on Asus' ROG Cetra buds that brought them down to $79.99.

Just like when your grandma calls every vacuum a Hoover or every console a Nintendo, sometimes the best Steam Deck deals aren't on Steam Decks.

By that, I mean Amazon's sale could be a perfect opportunity to pick up an alternative like the Asus ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion GO. Both are now available for about $500, which makes sense, since a new generation of devices like the ROG Xbox Ally are en route.

Fresher portables like the MSI Claw 8 AI+ may eventually end up cheaper at a bunch of retailers, including Amazon, while the Asus ROG Ally X already is, but I'd advise putting any price cuts into perspective. The last thing you want to do is to invest heavily in a premium portable only for it to be succeeded by a higher-spec variant a few months later, and that's incredibly likely since next-gen AMD chips are now making their way into devices.


Looking for more Amazon-related savings? Swing by Prime Day gaming laptop deals and Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals for more portable offers. Alternatively, take a peek at Prime Day iPad deals if you're feeling a little fruity.

Hardware Editor

Phil is the Hardware Editor at GamesRadar+ who specializes in retro console setups, choosing the latest gaming handhelds, and navigating the choppy seas of using modern-day PC hardware. In the past, they have covered everything from retro gaming history to the latest gaming news, in-depth features, and tech advice for publications like TechRadar, The Daily Star, the BBC, PCGamesN, and Den of Geek. In their spare time, they pour hours into fixing old consoles, modding Game Boys, exploring ways to get the most out of the Steam Deck, and blasting old CRT TV visuals into their eye sockets.
