The clock is ticking if you want to make the most of Prime Day PS5 deals on either side of the Atlantic. We're keeping you up to date with all the biggest Prime Day gaming deals as they happen, but we decided with most video game purchases being so expensive, it's time we gave a shout-out to smaller deals that come in under $50 / £50.

In terms of Prime Day PS5 deals, there are plenty of savings to be had if you're looking for the console itself, a bundle with some games, or accessories. I wish I could write about a deal that gets you Sony's flagship for under $50, but alas, Jim Ryan and Jeff Bezos aren't that charitable. 

Nonetheless, here are some excellent last-minute Prime Day deals to upgrade your PS5 loadout that don't break the bank. If you have a spare $50 to spend on yourself this Prime Day, these essentials are always a good bet.

Last minute Prime Day PS5 deals under $50

1. Samsung 980 Pro 1TB$79.95$49.99 at AmazonSave $30

1. Samsung 980 Pro 1TB | $79.95 $49.99 at Amazon
Save $30 - To be completely honest, I cover SSD and storage for a living, and I'm shocked to see the 980 Pro this cheap for Prime Day. Samsung keeps its storage prices pretty high despite so many competitors being on sale so often, but in this deal, you're getting one of the best PS5 SSDs for so much cheaper than usual. This will give you faster load times, and way more storage space.

View Deal

UK: Samsung 980 Pro + Heatsink | £101.49 £65.83 at Amazon

Buy it if:

  • You find yourself running out of storage space on your PS5
  • You want quicker load times
  • You can't afford SSDs at their usual prices.

If you do go for that SSD, that deal is for the model without a heatsink, and you'll definitely need to pair it with a heatsink. Luckily enough, we have one of those on offer under $50 too.

2. Sabrent PS5 Heatsink | $19.99 $16.99 at Amazon
Save $8 - This is, all things considered, the best PS5 heatsink going if you go for a drive that doesn't have one pre-attached. It may seem like there are too many moving parts in the installation process if you haven't installed an SSD into your PS5 before, but trust me, it's nice and easy. In this deal, don't forget to check the $5 coupon box to get the full saving amount.

View Deal

UK: Sabrent PS5 Heatsink | £16.99 £13.08 at Amazon

Buy it if:

  • You're buying the Samsung 980 Pro deal above
  • You've bought another Prime Day SSD deal and the drive doesn't have a heatsink attached to it.
  • You have an additional PS5 SSD installed and you don't have a heatsink already.

Seriously - NVMe SSDs need heatsinks. Please, please make sure you get one. As you can see above, they really aren't expensive, and they'll ensure your drive lasts longer and operates to the best standards. 

3. JSAUX USB to USB-C cable 6.6FT$10.99$6.47 at AmazonSave $4.52

3. JSAUX USB to USB-C cable 6.6FT | $10.99 $6.47 at Amazon
Save $4.52 - If you're in need of a longer charging cable for your PS5 controllers, your headset, or whatever other device you need to plug into your PS5, a JSAUX one will do you right. I use these cables because they're so cheap, reliable, and offer fast transfers/charging times. In this deal, you get a 6.6FT cable for just $6.47. Say goodbye to annoying stretches to plug something in mid-game, this makes life a whole lot easier.

4. TISOFU 8K HDMI Cable$18.98 $11.98 at AmazonSave $7

4. TISOFU 8K HDMI Cable | $18.98 $11.98 at Amazon
Save $7 - If you're looking for a last-minute deal on an HDMI cable, this is a 6ft long UHD HDMI cable that will future-proof you thanks to its 8K compatibility. In this Prime Exclusive deal, you can get a 37% discount to bring it down to just $11. Not bad for a last-minute fixer-upper. It's also available in 10ft and 3ft variants.

View Deal

UK: AviBrex 8K 2m HDMI 2.1 cable | £10.99 £8.79 at Amazon

Buy it if:

  • You need a longer HDMI cable
  • You don't have an HDMI 2.1 cable for your PS5
  • You're wise and you don't want to overspend on HDMI cables that cost way more.
5. Razer Kraken$79.99$52.88 at AmazonSave $27

5. Razer Kraken | $79.99 $52.88 at Amazon
Save $27 - This was actually my headset of choice for a long time. I still have it as a backup if another of my gaming headsets fails me. In all honesty, I think this punches so far above its weight in terms of quality. The fit is so comfortable, and it has a strong-quality of mic that retracts into the headset. And yes, it is just slightly over the $50 mark, but it's close enough.

View Deal

UK: Razer Kraken | £79.99 £29.89 at Amazon

Buy it if:

  • You can't afford a better, newer gaming headset
  • You wear glasses and struggle to get a comfy headset fit.
  • You want a gaming headset with kitty ears on it - seriously, there's a quarts version with them on it, and it's incredible.

6. A Plague Tale: Requiem | $59.99 $37.99 at Amazon
Save $22 - The second installment of Amicia and Hugo's Plague Tale has been well-received by fans and critics alike. If you've been looking for a new AAA game to play, this has all the stealth, graphical, and story chops you could want for much cheaper.

View Deal

UK: A Plague Tale Requiem (PS5) | £49.99 £29.95 at Amazon

Buy it if:

  • You don't have a Game Pass subscription.
  • You liked the first game
  • You want a new game to play in the stealth, historical, action-adventure genres.
7. Atomic Heart$69.99$47.49 at AmazonSave $22

7. Atomic Heart | $69.99 $47.49 at Amazon
Save $22 - Fans of first-person shooters that aren't multiplayer have been a bit starved in recent years. Atomic Heart wasn't everything we wanted it to be when it launched back in February, but fans of games like BioShock, Wolfenstein, and Metro might get a real kick out of it. 

View Deal

UK: Atomic Heart (PS4) | £59.99 £37.99 at Amazon

Buy it if:

  • You want a new first-person action game to play
  • You don't have Game Pass
  • You like similar games

Ever since playing Journey at the age of 15, I’ve been desperate to cover video games for a living. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship over at Expert Reviews. Besides that, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel and Podcast for the last 7 years. It’s been a long road, but all that experience somehow landed me a dream job covering gaming hardware. I’m a self-confessing PlayStation fanboy, but my experience covering the larger business and developer side of the whole industry has given me a strong knowledge of all platforms. When I’m not testing out every peripheral I can get my hands on, I’m probably either playing tennis or dissecting game design for an upcoming video essay. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension. Location: UK Remote
