Amazon Prime Day officially kicks off tonight, but there are plenty of early discounts already hitting the shelves. From some of our favorite controllers to the year's biggest releases so far, early PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC deal hunters are reaping their rewards right now.
The main event launches at midnight tonight, when I expect we'll see a whole roster of new deals hitting the airwaves. If you're getting itchy for a saving, though, I'm rounding up all the best early Prime Day deals for gamers right here.
Amazon itself already has quite a few offers live right now, but competing sales from Best Buy, Walmart, Newegg, and others are also revving their engines. In fact, if you're using these summer sales to upgrade your gaming laptop or hunt down some PC parts I'd recommend prioritizing Best Buy and Newegg over Amazon entirely. Similarly, if it's games you're after, Woot (an Amazon-owned brand with free Prime shipping) is has prices well below the competition this week.
You'll find all the biggest Prime Day deals for gamers I've found already just below, and live updates throughout the entire sale further down the page.

When does Amazon Prime Day start?
Amazon Prime Day will start at midnight tonight, but I've seen early offers landing all weekend long. The biggest discounts will still be reserved for tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled for new savings later tonight.
When does Amazon Prime Day end?
This year's Amazon Prime Day sale is a four-day event, running all the way through from June 23 to June 26. That means we've got until the weekend to make the most of these offers.
Do you need a Prime membership for Amazon Prime Day?
You will need a Prime membership to take advantage of Amazon's biggest offers this week, and free trials are available. However, if you don't want to sign up there are still plenty of ways to save. Best Buy, Walmart, Newegg, and Woot are all running their own sales that often price match with Amazon's restricted offers. Not only that, but the retailer also runs plenty of non-exclusive offers this time of year as well.
Tired of controller software?
They might not feature touchpads or scream when dropped, but there are plenty of Steam Controller alternatives that take pain points and improve upon them tenfold. The Manba One is one of our favorites.
See, the Steam Controller will have you mapping all your game presets via its own software, on a per-game basis. That can get old pretty fast if you're hopping between genres regularly.
The Manba One takes all this customization (as well as deadzone and vibration controls) onboard, accessing everything via a built-in screen in the center of the gamepad. It's also a regular when Prime Day rolls around. While I'm not seeing any discounts available just yet - this is certainly one to keep an eye on this week.
Manba One | $69.99 at Amazon
A champion goes for its lowest ever price
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless was our best gaming headset for years, until its successor came along. The multi-platform cups sound fantastic, benefit from hot-swappable batteries, and offer a slick EQ/DAC hub that can swap easily between consoles. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Omni has come along at a slightly higher price point (there's $20 in it), with the ability to mix audio from more than two sources, a High-Res certification, and a boosted battery life.
If you ask me, though? The Pro Wireless still offers the best bang for buck value this Prime Day.
That's because it's now down to just $249.99 (compared to the Omni's $399.99 MSRP). At a good chunk of change less for the same core features it's well worth investigating.

PSA: Remember to check other retailers
Finding the best Prime Day deals comes down to knowing what you want and finding the right price. If you've already found your next device, though, it's always worth knowing your full options. Just because this is Amazon's showcase doesn't mean it's always going to have the biggest offers. Competing sales from Best Buy, Walmart and others can, and sometimes do, undercut Bezos's prices.
Even if another store can't beat Amazon's price, it often works hard in other areas to stay competitive. I see this most often with sites like Best Buy and Newegg, often running extra bundle offers with games, and subscriptions that can offer better value than the web's best price.
And we're off!
Amazon Prime Day officially starts at midnight, but I've been seeing early offers landing across the web for a couple of weeks now. In fact, Amazon has been running its discounts ever since it announced this year's dates at the start of the month. That's all come to a head in the last few days, with the weekend bringing life to additional savings on some of our top recommended tech.
That's where my focus is going to be this week, on the tech and gadgets we actually recommend every day.
