Best Buy's Memorial Day sale has been flying its banner for a couple of weeks now, but with the holiday weekend coming up fast, things are really starting to heat up. I've spent my morning scrolling through the retailer's entire sale, saving every piece of gaming tech we personally recommend here at GamesRadar+ for further investigation.

That's because I'm not just bringing you the biggest discounts or the lowest prices. Each one of the 12 Best Buy Memorial Day deals just below has been handpicked for two reasons: 1) it's scored highly enough in our reviews to be recommended every day, and 2) it's at, or near, its lowest ever price.

I started tracking deals at our sister site TechRadar seven years ago, working out where to find the biggest discounts, how to get the best value, and when to dive into major sales. I've since taken that experience over to GamesRadar+, where I also go hands-on with all the latest gaming gadgets to find the products you really need to be watching out for when the sales hit.

Top Best Buy Memorial Day deals

PS5: games from $8.49
Switch: games from $11.99
Xbox: $100 off ROG Xbox Ally
Controllers: starting from $14.99
Retro: handhelds from $27

This one's slightly different. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni is now our number one gaming headset, but this is the model it had to beat to get there. With both devices sitting in the same family, this is an excellent opportunity to secure a discount on a top-rated set of cups. The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless has been $30 cheaper in the past, but I've only seen those numbers drop to $289.99 in 2026 so far.

Price check: Amazon: $289.99 | Walmart: $299.99
