Prime Day deals for gamers LIVE: final hours for biggest PS5, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch sales
We're rounding up all those final Prime Day deals for gamers
Good morning deal hunters! It's a good day to score yourself a discount. This year's Prime Day gaming deals have taken me back a bit - to the days of decent savings and actually surprising price cuts. With plenty of kit on the shelves (including console discounts on PS5?!) there's certainly something for everyone here - and I'll be slinging you all my favorite discounts as soon as I find them. Stay tuned for some top picks, speedy lightning deals, and plenty of strange finds then!
PS5 God of War Ragnarok bundle | £539.99 £453.99 at Amazon
We'll kick off with the biggest offer we've seen so far today - but it's one for the UK crowd. Lucky console hunters can score an £86 discount on the God of War Ragnarok bundle right now. It goes without saying that's a record low price - we've only ever seen the bundle at £479 before today. When you're saving on the actual console price you know you've scored yourself a stunning discount.
Nintendo Switch | $25 Digital Credit | $299.99 at Amazon
The Nintendo Switch seldom takes straight price cuts, so today's offer of $25 free Amazon credit looks like it's as good as it's gonna get. That's still a great deal if you're after the standard edition console in the US though - especially considering we've only ever seen $10 off the final price in the past.
Buy it if:
✅ You're yet to dive into the Switch catalog
✅ You mostly play docked mode
✅ You're upgrading from a Switch Lite
Don't buy it if:
❌ You play mostly handheld
❌ You want to hedge your bets on a new console
❌ High performance Triple-A titles are a priority

UK: Nintendo Switch OLED | £319.99 £288.98 at Amazon
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro | $249.99 $199.99 at Amazon
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro is one of our favorite gaming headsets available right now. This is the Xbox version, but it's the one we recommend to the majority of multi-platform players. It's the only way to be able to switch easily between PS5 and Xbox Series X, and you're still getting that incredible SteelSeries audio and long-lasting comfort. With $50 off the price tag you're getting this set for a brand new record low price - we've never seen those numbers fall below $209 in the past.
Buy it if:
✅ You prioritize high quality audio
✅ You swap between PS5, Xbox, and PC platforms
✅ You don't need a wireless connection
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't need top shelf audio quality
❌ You only play on one platform
❌ A DAC isn't necessary

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 RTX 3060 gaming laptop | $1,399.99 $799.99 at Best Buy
We're heading over to Best Buy's competing sale now, for one of my absolute favorites. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is, and always has been, an incredibly popular rig. This RTX 3060 configuration from a couple of years ago has been doing the rounds with an $899 sales price during recent events - but Best Buy's latest sale has kicked that all the way down to $799. With the Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB RAM you're getting a fantastic deal here - one I'd make the most of myself if I was stateside.
Buy it if:
✅ You play moderately demanding games...
✅ ... but nothing too graphically intense
✅ Portability and travel are big priorities
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want the latest and greatest components
❌ You have the budget to spend on a newer version
Price Check: Amazon: $1,152.69
Elden Ring (PS5 / Xbox Series X) | $59.99 $39.99 at Amazon
It's taken its time, but Elden Ring is finally cheaper than its previous $49.99 sales price. While those numbers have dipped down to $35 in the past, that was during a particularly speedy Black Friday sale - and since then we've seen things settling at that $50 price point. Right now, though, you can save $20 on the 2022 blockbuster, across both PlayStation and Xbox.
Buy it if:
✅ You want a longer title to immerse yourself in
✅ You enjoyed Dark Souls but...
✅ ... want something more accessible
Don't buy it if:
❌ Higher difficulty can be a frustration
❌ Fantasy isn't your game
Price Check: Best Buy: $57.99 | Walmart: $44.99
Asus ROG Azoth | $249.99 $194.99 at Amazon
This is a personal highlight for me. The Asus ROG Azoth is the gaming keyboard to rule them all. It's my daily driver, and the set of keys on which I'm currently bringing these words to you. With a $40 discount and a further $15 coupon available on the page, you're picking up a particularly rare discount on this high-flying hot-swappable deck. I've been watching this price since release, waiting for a discount to shout about - and it's never dipped below $222 before. Today you're getting an excellent investment keyboard for just $194.99.
Buy it if:
✅ You prefer a lighter but still tactile typing feel
✅ Hot-swappable switches are a must
✅ Space is tight
Don't buy it if:
❌ You rely on dedicated macro buttons
❌ Hot-swappable switches aren't necessary
❌ You're on a tighter budget

Lightning Deal Alert! 87% Claimed
Roblox $50 gift card | $50 $40 at Amazon
This has to be a quick one, because this Prime Day Lightning Deal is already 87% claimed. You can grab a $50 Roblox gift card for just $40 right now - that's $10 for free! You'll need to be speedy here, though - we don't know how much longer this is going to last.
Samsung SSDs are up to 55% off at Amazon
Whether you're after a portable SSD or something to stick in your PS5, this year's Prime Day gaming deals is playing host to a massive range of discounts from Samsung. You can save up to $230 on this storage, with our favorites highlighted below.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Pandemic | $59.99 $28.99 at Amazon
Let's shake this up, shall we? Tabletop games also get noteworthy price cuts during the Prime Day sales, and this excellent strategy spin-off has dropped down a ludicrous amount in honor of the event. As we mentioned in our Star Wars: The Clone Wars Pandemic review, it's "an easy recommendation" due to deep layers of tactical teamwork and boss mechanics that really elevate it over the original. For more, check out our hub of Prime Day board game deals!
Price check: Walmart $47.99 | Target $35.99
UK price: £43.50 at Amazon
Apple iPad 9th generation | $329 $249.99 at Amazon
It's not strictly Prime Day gaming deals, but the 10.2-inch iPad is one of the best gaming tablets on the market right now and it's dropped down to its lowest ever price. This is an older release but it's still in Apple's current lineup as the budget option, and it's only dipped below its previous $269.99 record a handful of times. With $80 off the final price, it's an excellent buy for anyone after an everyday device.
Buy it if:
✅ You're after an everyday gaming and web browsing tablet
✅ You won't be multi-tasking too much
✅ Apple's other iPads are too expensive
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want to use the second gen Apple Pencil
❌ More power is necessary
Price Check: Best Buy: $269.99 | Walmart: $279.99
Logitech G29 racing wheel for PS5 / PS4 / PC | $399.99 $199.99 at Amazon
Yes, we have seen a $170 price tag on this Logitech racing wheel, but that was way back in August 2017. Since then, the flagship Force Feedback wheel has been sitting at this $199.99 sales price when taking part in these kinds of events. Whether you're on the hunt for Prime Day PS5 deals or you're after something for PC, that's still an excellent buy. With $200 off that $399.99 MSRP you're saving 50% overall here.
Buy it if:
✅ Racing games are starting to get boring with a controller
✅ Storage isn't an issue
✅ You want to play across PlayStation and PC
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't play on Xbox
❌ You need more immersive feedback features on more premium sets
Price Check: Best Buy: $199.99 | Walmart: $209.99
Acer Nitro KG241Y 23.8-inch gaming monitor | $179.99 $109.99 at Amazon
This is a brand new record low price on the Acer Nitro KG241Y, with previous discounts only ever hitting $112.48. Yes, you're only saving an additional $3 here, but it's still more for the piggybank. The Acer Nitro is a smaller monitor, measuring in at 23.8-inches, but for a hair over $100 you're getting some strong value in that 165Hz refresh rate and FreeSync compatibility as well.
Buy it if:
✅ You have a smaller desk setup
✅ You're after a second monitor
✅ 1080p is all you need
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want to split-screen
❌ Your budget allows for a higher resolution
Price Check: Best Buy: $129.99 | Walmart: $199.99
Razer Quick Charging Stand (PS5) | $39.99 $19.99 at Amazon
Razer's Quick Charging Stand isn't the most functional (there's only room for one controller on here), but it is certainly the prettiest on the market right now. Those sleek lines and PS5-esque designs fitting with a range of the official colorways make for an excellent centerpiece. That's why this $19.99 sales price is so good - and exactly why Prime Day PS5 deals can come in so handy. At $40 I wouldn't consider it a must-see, but at half that price it's certainly a neat addition to the setup. This is the first time we've seen the stand drop below $29.99 to boot.
Buy it if:
✅ You don't need two controllers on charge
✅ You want to match your charger to your PS5 color
✅ You've got a spare plug nearby
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want to keep a spare controller always charged
❌ You don't care about the aesthetic
Price Check: Best Buy: $39.99
Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 (15 Keys) | $149.99 $114.99 at Amazon
The Elgato Stream Deck Mk.2 is a staple of streamers (and productivity nerds) everywhere. This 15 button macro pad can be configured with a wide range of external programs via a wealthy user generated system of plugins and works particularly well with Twitch, OBS, Discord, and Twitter use. Smart home enthusiasts and content creators are served equally here as well. Not only that, but Prime Day gaming deals are offering up a brand new record low price - with that $149.99 MSRP giving way to a $114.99 rate for the first time. We normally see this model on sale for $119.99.
Buy it if:
✅ You want to jazz up your streams
✅ Your desk could use some snappy smart home controls
✅ You want to streamline productivity and content creation workflows
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't use heavy duty software like Adobe or OBS
❌ You don't need 15 buttons (there are cheaper 6-button options)
Price Check: Best Buy: $114.99 | Walmart: $159.99
Razer Barracuda X gaming headset | $99.99 $66.49 at Amazon
The 2022 Razer Barracuda X sits at the bottom of the Barracuda line, but we reckon it's actually the best buy of the bunch. No it can't keep up with the active noise cancellation of the Pro model, but it does pack a bunch of features into a price point we rarely see. After all, this is our favorite Nintendo Switch headset - all because of its simple approach to high quality audio with a wireless connection that doesn't break the bank. You're still getting some nice to haves in there as well - Bluetooth connections and gesture controls, but at $66.49 (it's lowest price yet), this is a super streamlined pickup.
Buy it if:
✅ You want no fuss wireless audio
✅ Portability and commuting are big factors
✅ EQ settings don't interest you
Don't buy it if:
❌ Software support is important
❌ You want to fall back on a wired connection
Price Check: Best Buy: $69.99 | Walmart: $66.49
Razer Raptor 27-inch gaming monitor | $799.99 $349.99 at Amazon
Amazon Prime Day has given us a new record low price on the Razer Raptor gaming monitor. Isn't she beautiful?
We've never seen this unique display dipping below around $380, and even Best Buy still has it at $399.99 right now. That means you're getting an excellent offer here, with the 1440p, 165Hz refresh rate panel at an all-time low. This is a stocky screen, but it carries that classic Razer picture quality that made us fall in love with the brand's laptops. On top of that, you're getting Chroma RGB lighting built in as well.
Buy it if:
✅ You're after a statement piece for your setup
✅ You already have other Razer devices to hook up to Chroma
✅ Nvidia G-Sync is a must
Don't buy it if:
❌ You have limited depth to your desk
❌ You want a particularly speedy panel
Price Check: Best Buy: $399.99 | Walmart: $349.99
WD Black SN850X 2TB PS5 SSD with heatsink | $309.99 $142.99 at Amazon
Prime Day gaming deals are a sure bet for these kinds of PS5 SSD offers. This is the lowest price we've ever seen on the popular WD Black SN850X (yes this is the new version of the stick Mark Cerny uses in his console), coming in at just $142.99. With $167 off the final price you're getting a great discount here - even if we have seen that price tumbling down from $200 in the last six months.
Buy it if:
✅ You want top speeds from your console
✅ You don't want to faff applying your own heatsink
✅ You need more than 1TB to keep you afloat
Don't buy it if:
❌ You feel comfortable adding your own heatsink
❌ 1TB can see you through easily
Price Check: Best Buy: $142.99
Meta Quest 2 | $50 Amazon Gift Card | $299 at Amazon
Prime Day gaming deals are finally heralding some Meta Quest 2 discounts this year, with the retailer launching this $50 gift card offer in the last hour. With the price drop from the previous $399.99 MSRP taken into account you're getting bags of value here - essentially walking away with the best VR headset for the majority of players for just $249.99. This offer applies to both the 128GB and $349 256GB models as well.
Note that your gift card isn't digital - it's a physical card attached in a separate envelope upon delivery (like it's not 2023). That means you might not necessarily be able to use that $50 on future Prime Day deals.
Buy it if:
✅ You're intrigued by VR but don't want to break the bank
✅ PC tethering for Steam is a must-have
✅ You'll be spending more at Amazon at a later date
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want the latest and greatest VR experience
❌ You're banking on using that $50 in this year's Prime Day sale
Price Check: Best Buy: $299 with $50 gift card | Walmart: $299 no gift card
Genki ShadowCast | $49.99 $39.99 at Amazon
This is one for the Switch fans, but also the streamers looking to get started without breaking the bank. The Genki ShadowCast is essentially a budget capture card - which is perfectly fine for experimental streaming (it works nicely with OBS). But it's main place has come to be in the Switch cases of travelling players everywhere. That's because it also lets you connect your handheld to your laptop screen to play through - excellent for those sticky screen-less situations. You'll find it $10 off at Amazon right now, which is rare - this is the lowest price we've ever seen.
Buy it if:
✅ You regularly travel with your Switch
✅ You prefer playing in docked mode to handheld
✅ Your laptop supports USB-C
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're getting serious about streaming
❌ Picture quality is a priority

UK: £39.99 at Amazon
Logitech G Pro X Superlight gaming mouse | $159.99 $109 at Amazon
The Logitech G Pro X Superlight is our favorite left-handed gaming mice so whether you're a leftie or you prefer an ambidextrous shape, this $50 discount is well worth checking out. That's the lowest price we've seen on the super-fast fps-style pointer, with Prime Day gaming deals kicking the $159.99 MSRP all the way down to $109.
Buy it if:
✅ You're left-handed
✅ You're looking to drop as much weight as possible
✅ You don't want to think about charging too often
Don't buy it if:

❌ You prefer more buttons over lighter weight
Price Check: Best Buy: $109 | Walmart: $109
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PS5 / Xbox Series X)| $69.99 $43.99 at Amazon
This is one of Amazon's sneakier Prime Day gaming deals. You'll need to tick the coupon for a further $11 discount on this copy of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but when you do you're getting an excellent $43.99 sales price. Considering we were excited about the $53 record low yesterday, this is an excellent additional saving.
Buy it if:

Sonic Frontiers (PS5) | $59.99 $34.87 at Amazon
Sonic Frontiers is a classic, but you might have slept on it the first time round. Thankfully, Prime Day is here to entice you with a record low price on this PS5 copy. That's a return to a $34.87 price point we've only ever seen once before, so if you missed out the first time we'd recommend jumping in here quick.
Buy it if:
✅ You miss the good old Sonic days but...
✅ ... are looking for something new from the series
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're expecting old school Sonic
Price Check: Best Buy: $34.99 | Walmart: $39.97
Nintendo Switch Lite (Refurbished) | $170 $149 at Walmart
Sometimes the best Prime Day gaming deals are where you'd least expect them. This Nintendo Switch Lite is technically $50 off the standard $199.99 MSRP, because it's refurbished. Walmart is offering its usually $170 stock of renewed consoles for just a hair under $150 right now, and with a year's warranty and a guarantee that each device will look and work like new, now's a great time for a budget buy.
Buy it if:
✅ You only want to play in handheld
✅ You don't want to break past $150
✅ You're buying for younger kids
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want to play in docked mode
❌ Screen quality is a priority
Price Check: Best Buy: $179.99 | Amazon: OOS
Xbox Series S (refurbished) | $269.99 $199 at Amazon
While we're on the topic of refurbished, Amazon also has some excellent renewed offers up its sleeve. This Xbox Series S is down to just $199, and comes with the 90 day Amazon Renewed Guarantee. That means it's passed a whole host of tests and conditions - and the best part is it's $70 cheaper than a new device. We've only ever seen these renewed consoles at $241 in the past, so breaking past $200 is a big deal.
Buy it if:
✅ You don't need the bells and whistles of the Series X
✅ You still want to make the most of the Game Pass catalog
✅ You don't want to use physical games
Don't buy it if:
❌ 4K resolution is a priority
❌ You have a large physical game collection

Of course, if you did want to grab a new console, Walmart has a particularly strong bundle offer right now. This $289.99 package offers up a $10 discount on the $299 MSRP of the console and sends you home with a free additional controller (worth $50).
HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless gaming headset | $199.99 $149.99 at Amazon
The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is $50 off in Amazon's latest Prime Day gaming deals, which means you can bag yourself that massive 300 hour battery for just $149.99. That's an excellent price on a set of cups that holds special place in our guide to the best gaming headsets on the market. They're not just long-lasting in the battery arena, they also provide tremendous audio and carry that signature HyperX comfort to boot.
We did find one drawback in our testing. That mic isn't going to hold up to everyday multiplayer - so if you do play online with chat, this is one to miss.
Buy it if:
✅ Battery is everything
✅ You mostly play single player
✅ You don't want to break past $200
Don't buy it if:
❌ You play online with chat
❌ Charging isn't a chore for you

Buy it if:
✅ You like having plenty of multiplayer options
✅ You also need a controller for mobile gaming
Don't buy it if:
❌ You need a serious long term Switch controller

Samsung 55-inch QN90B Neo QLED TV | $1,697.99 $1,097.99 at Amazon
This is a stunning TV for anyone looking to invest in a high-end panel in this week's Prime Day gaming deals. From its crystal clear Mini LED display to the Dolby Atmos audio, everything about the Samsung QN90B is tailored towards an immersive cinema experience. Of course, that can only be great for gaming and with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 you're all set for the latest consoles.

Buy it if:
✅ You want to invest in a luxury TV
✅ You're running a PS5 or Xbox Series X

Don't buy it if:
❌ You're just looking for an everyday 4K TV

If you're after one of the latest and greatest gaming laptops on the market, you've come to the right place. We've just spotted this excellent $300 discount on a premium Asus ROG Strix G16 - a rig sporting an RTX 4070 GPU and a powerful Intel i9-13980HX. That's bags of power, and excellent value at just $1,699.99. Considering we were seeing RTX 3070 rigs at this price just a few months ago, things are really looking up. You'll also find 16GB DDR5 RAM under the hood and a 1TB SSD.

Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro gaming mouse | $89.99 $59.99 at Amazon
Those with larger hands will certainly appreciate this $30 discount on the Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro. We found it to be particularly comfortable for longer sessions during our testing, but its ergonomic button placement and snappy feedback make it an excellent all-rounder as well. At $59.99 we're within a few dollars of a record low price here - perfect for anyone after an upper mid-range pointer at an affordable price tag.
Buy it if:

Roccat Pyro mechanical gaming keyboard | $79.99 $39.99 at Amazon
The Roccat Pyro is already a particularly well priced gaming keyboard, but today's offers have struck it all the way down to just $39.99. That's almost unheard of for a mechanical deck and considering this one still feels great for work and play, this is an excellent discount. It goes without saying this is the lowest price we've seen on the Pyro - and it's only been spotted a few times before today.
Buy it if:
✅ You want mechanical keys without the price tag
✅ A wrist rest is a necessity
✅ You need a full sized deck

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart | $69.99 $29.99 at Amazon
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was an early PS5 title, but it's still held onto its MSRP for a while. That means we've only ever seen this $29.99 sales price once before today - and it was only a few weeks ago. If you've been curious or simply holding out for a more affordable price point, now's the time to jump.
Buy it if:
✅ You enjoyed Ratchet & Clank on PS4
✅ You want to see exactly what that PS5 can do

Razer Wolverine V2 Pro wireless PS5 / PC controller | $249.99 $179.99 at Amazon
The Razer Wolverine V2 Pro is now at its lowest ever price, with a massive $70 off the original $249.99 MSRP. That's a lofty starting cost, so this is still an investment piece, but if you're after super speedy mecha-tactile buttons and six remappable clickers your cash is particularly well placed here. We did note it was a little heavier than we're used to in our testing, but if you're after a wider gamepad and a solid feel it's an impressive gadget.
Buy it if:
✅ You prefer a more substantial controller feel
✅ You'll make the most of those remappable buttons
✅ You need extra speed in mecha-tactile switches
Don't buy it if:

Morning everyone! Benj here for another round of Prime Day gaming deals. How are we all holding up? While a lot of the best offers will already be in place, a few new ones are popping up so it's worth staying frosty. In addition, be wary of prices suddenly changing for the worse by a couple of dollars or pounds - I've seen that already a couple of times, and it's super annoying. Although it sounds like a line, this makes me feel it's a good idea not to hang about if you see a decent price.
Official PS5 Pulse 3D headset | £89.99 £74.09 at Amazon
Let's kick off with something for the UK crowd, shall we? This official PlayStation 5 headset has taken a tumble in price for day two of the Prime Day gaming deals, and that's its best price all year. I have this headset myself and use it every time I boot up my console, and it never ceases to amaze/freak me out with that 3D audio. There's 'surround sound', and then there's "oh god is something in the room with me?" surround sound. This has the latter, which I'm a big fan of. As we said in our PS5 Pulse 3D headset review, it's a "seamless way to get the most from your new console's audio."
Buy it if:
✅ You want immersive surround sound
✅ You want a reliable wireless headset
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want an adjustable headstrap
❌ You need a best-in-class mic
Price check: Very £77.99 | Currys £79.99
Logitech G29 steering wheel | £349.99 £169.99 at Amazon
Here's another excellent UK deal for you - the brilliant G29 steering wheel and pedals for PlayStation and PC. While there have been more recent entries from Logitech, this still stands the test of time and we've not seen it this cheap in years. As such, it's well worth jumping on if you want to get the full experience in the likes of Gran Turismo.
Buy it if:
✅ You want immersive Force Feedback
✅ You don't have a massive budget
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want the latest and greatest
❌ You want to use it on Xbox
Price check: Argos £199.99 | Currys £229.99
Nintendo Switch OLED Tears of the Kingdom Edition | £319.99 £292.04 at Amazon
Here's another superb Switch deal for you. While it doesn't show the original price and isn't technically part of the Prime Day gaming deals, we've kept an eye on this particular console and it started at around £319.99. With that in mind, this almost-£290 price point is really rather good. Just bear in mind that the game is not included with this bundle - rather, you're getting a Tears of the Kingdom design on the console and dock instead.
Buy it if:
✅ You want a unique, Zelda-themed Switch
✅ You want the best available Switch model
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're expecting it to include Tears of the Kingdom
❌ You don't love Zelda

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor | $69.99 $43.99 at Amazon (with coupon)
Jedi: Survivor is hands down one of the best games of 2023 so far, and it just hit its lowest ever price for the Prime Day gaming deals. So long as you tick the coupon box below the price, you'll get a massive $16 off a game that our Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review said was "more ambitious, confident, and heartfelt." Crucially, this offer is available on both PS5 and Xbox.
Buy it if:
✅ You love Star Wars stories and action-adventure games
✅ You dream of saving the galaxy as a Jedi
Don't buy it if:
❌ You didn't play Fallen Order
❌ You don't like more open worlds

Meta Quest 2 (128GB) + $50 Amazon card | $349.99 $299 at Amazon
This offer on the VR marvel that is the Quest 2 is one of the best we've seen during 2023's Prime Day gaming deals. Although that's a standard price for the headset itself, the fact that you're getting a $50 Amazon gift card to go along with it (which you can then spend on accessories for your new device) is pretty stellar. As we said in our Meta Quest 2 review (back when the unit was still called Oculus), it's "an undeniable improvement on the previous model."
Buy it if:
✅ You're trying VR for the first time
✅ You don't want to spend too much
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want a super high-end device
❌ You want easy compatibility with PC out of the box

If you're joining us fresh, you might be wondering exactly what you've walked into. As we know, Amazon likes to move its prices around during this second day of its Prime Day gaming deals, so let's quickly take a look backwards and what's still live and which discounts might not last much longer.

Backbone One | $99.99 $69.99 at Amazon
This is a particularly exciting discount. While Project Q is promising a Remote Play device for - likely - hundreds of dollars, the Backbone One can get you there for just $69.99 right now. This is our favorite iPhone controller of the moment - and completely revolutionized mobile gaming when we tested it last year. Both the standard and PlayStation edition are included in this super rare $30 discount to boot.
Buy it if:
✅ You want more from your mobile gaming
✅ You regularly play through Remote Play
✅ You have an iPhone
Don't buy it if:

Anker 737 Power Bank | $149.99 $99.99 at Amazon
You might not have come searching for Prime Day gaming deals on the hunt for a portable charger, but this $50 discount is too good to pass up. Whether you're keeping a phone, tablet, laptop, or Nintendo Switch charged up, this 24,000mAh Anker 737 power bank can keep all your gadgets afloat. We've only ever seen this beast dip to $99.99 once before, back in March. Otherwise, this is a strictly $150 affair.
Buy it if:
✅ You have the bag space - this thing is chunky
✅ You want to charge all your devices on the go
✅ You want to keep tabs on how much juice you have left
Don't buy it if:

❌ Bag space is a concern

Elgato HD60 X external capture card | $199.99 $139.49 at Amazon
With $60.50 off the final price, this popular Elgato capture card is down to a brand new record low price. That's a sudden dip from the $180 position we've been seeing over the last six months, and one we've never seen before today. The HD60 X can offer up to 4K60 picture passthrough with HDR10, but is better suited to streaming at 1440p max, with a plug and play connection to OBS, Twitch, StreamLabs and more.
Buy it if:
✅ You want high quality streams of next gen consoles
✅ You're looking for a solid mid-range upgrade from an entry level model
✅ 1440p is plenty resolution
Don't buy it if:
❌ You only need 1080p streaming
❌ You want a true 4K capture card
Price check: Best Buy: $139.99 | Walmart: $178.49
Samsung Odyssey G5 27-inch gaming monitor | $399.99 $249.99 at Amazon
It's rare to find a 1440p gaming monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync for under $250, so this $150 discount on the Samsung Odyssey G5 is certainly pulling its weight. While the Odyssey line has made a name for itself in its curved panels, this flat display manages to pack those more premium features into a lower price point by keeping things old school. You'll find it available for just $249.99 in Amazon's latest Prime Day gaming deals - its lowest price yet.
Buy it if:
✅ 1080p isn't enough
✅ You don't want a curved display
✅ Nvidia G-Sync is a must
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want a larger 32-inch panel
❌ Desk depth is a problem - that stand goes pretty far back

Sony INZONE H7 gaming headset | $229.99 $148 at Amazon
The Sony INZONE H7 has crashed back down to a record low price at Amazon today, ditching the $229.99 MSRP for a fantastic $148. That's just over $80 off the final price, the largest discount we've seen yet on Sony's middle of the pack headset. We loved the H7 in our testing, it impressed across sound quality and comfort - but we didn't quite agree with that starting price. Thankfully, that's not a problem today though.
Buy it if:
✅ You play mostly single player games
✅ Dual connectivity is a must
✅ You want to maintain an all-Sony PS5 setup
Don't buy it if:
❌ You regularly play online with chat - the mic doesn't hold up
❌ You commute (the H9s have ANC)
Price check: Best Buy: $149.99 | Walmart: $149.99
Xbox Wireless Controller - Stellar Shift Special Edition | $69.99 $56.99 at Amazon
This is the lowest price we've seen on the Stellar Shift Special Edition of the Xbox Wireless controller. Whether you've had your eye on this glimmering colorway for a while or you're looking for something a little different this Prime Day, that $56.99 final price is looking pretty tasty. You're saving $14 here overall.
Buy it if:
✅ You're after a controller for Xbox or PC
✅ You don't need any additional back buttons
✅ Black or white colorways are too boring
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't mind picking up a cheaper standard edition
❌ Customizability is a must

The Last of Us Part 1 | $69.99 $49.99 at Amazon
Whether you've been living under a rock or you're new to PlayStation, The Last of Us Part 1 is an essential piece in every PS5 collection. It's the second remaster of the blockbuster original game, but brings the full power of the latest console to one of PlayStation's greatest stories. We've only ever seen this $20 discount once before - during the holiday period last year - otherwise this is a strictly MSRP title.
Buy it if:
✅ You're yet to play The Last of Us
✅ You played the original and want a taste on PS5
✅ You enjoyed the HBO show
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're running a PS4

Samsung 980 Pro 1TB SSD | $79.95 $49.99 at Amazon
Picking up a 1TB SSD for under $50 is a turn out for the books. Prime Day gaming deals have dropped this Samsung 980 Pro stick down to just $49.99 - an excellent price for a 7,000 MB/s drive. Amazon is listing the previous price as $79.95, but this was a $109.99 drive on release. This is the lowest price we've ever seen by $10 - and you're getting two months of Adobe Creative Cloud Photography for free as well.
Buy it if:
✅ You just want a cheap storage boost
✅ You don't need the latest and greatest speeds
✅ You'll make the most of that Adobe membership
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're need something a little more powerful
❌ You want a stick with a heatsink applied

Lightning Deal Alert! 95% Claimed
ColorCoral cleaning gel | $11.99 $5.94 at Amazon
Hear me out on this one - I use this exact dust cleaning gel to keep gaming keyboards looking fresh for review photographs. It's currently 50% off in Amazon's Prime Day lightning deals - but it's already 95% claimed so you'll need to be fast to take advantage of that excellent $5.94 sales price.
Divoom LED Light Display Panel | $59.99 $38.99 at Amazon
A unique addition to any gaming setup, this smart light panel can be configured to a range of designs and controlled via its own app. Draw your designs on your smartphone and they'll be displayed within the frame - making for an excellent addition to a stream. You'll find just over $20 off this set at Amazon right now, leaving us within $1 of the lowest price ever.
Buy it if:
✅ You want to jazz up your livestreams

✅ You're after something unique this Prime Day
Don't buy it if:
❌ You need something with Alexa compatibility
Redragon K585 One-handed keyboard | $54.99 $29.59 at Amazon
This is a weird one, but if you've been waiting to give one-handed keyboards a go then now's the time to jump. This Redragon model is far cheaper than the more premium devices out there which can often run you hundreds of dollars - so if you just want to tinker this $29.59 sales price is a great place to start. It might be better positioned as an additional macro pad than a fully fledged gaming keyboard though.
Buy it if:
✅ You want to spice up your setup
✅ You curious but don't want to break the bank
✅ You're after a substantial macro pad solution
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're expecting the latest and greatest build
MSI Thin GF63 RTX 4050 gaming laptop | $999 $859.99 at Amazon
There's only $140 off this MSI Thin gaming laptop, but it's already at the bottom of the RTX 40-Series price spectrum. If you're after a moderately powerful rig that takes advantage of Nvidia's latest graphics cards you're in for a treat here, though. At $859.99 you're getting a fantastic price on a slimline MSI gaming laptop with an i7-12650H processor, 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. That's especially impressive considering we've never seen this price drop below $970.
Buy it if:
✅ You want an RTX 40-Series rig without breaking the bank
✅ You don't mind sacrificing other components for a lower price
✅ You play casually with a few more mid-range games thrown in
Don't buy it if:
❌ You need a super fast display
❌ You want a 13th generation processor to support that GPU
Amazon Fire 50-inch 4K TV | $449.99 $289.99 at Amazon
Amazon Fire TVs always do well over Prime Day, but this 50-inch 4K display is looking particularly strong. We'd recommend this set to anyone after an everyday TV that won't break the bank and considering there's HDR10 and HDMI 2.1 baked in you're getting solid specs for a budget gaming TV as well. All in all, you're grabbing this set for just $289.99 - a $160 discount from the $449.99 MSRP and a record low price by $20.
Buy it if:
✅ You want next-gen console specs at a budget price point
✅ You have other Alexa-enabled devices
✅ You need plenty of HDMI ports
Don't buy it if:
❌ You have the budget for a more sophisticated panel

Seagate Firecuda 530 1TB PS5 SSD | $119.99 $99.99 at Amazon
The Seagate Firecuda 530 is our favorite PS5 SSD, so scoring a record low price on the 1TB model with a heatsink attached is a solid move. If you're looking to boost your console's internal storage, there's no better way to do it in our books - especially for $99.99.

The WD Black P40 is a go-to for expanding your console's storage - be it PlayStation or Xbox. At $169.99 we're $10 away from a record low price on this $300+ external SSD, but you're still saving $160 overall. You're getting speeds of up to 2,000MB/s here, with RGB lighting and a shock resistant bumper shell to boot.

Alienware x15 R2 RTX 3070 Ti gaming laptop | $2,699.99 $1,699.99 at Dell
We're heading over to Dell for a look at Alienware's competing Prime Day gaming deals this week and the Alienware x15 R2 is looking particularly enticing. The $2,699.99 gaming laptop has had a full $1,000 kicked off its price tag - now sitting at just $1,699.99. That's exactly the kind of offer we were hoping to see this sales season - now that the RTX 40-Series has bedded in on the shelves. This configuration packs an Intel Core i9-12900H processor, RTX 3070 Ti GPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB SSD into a premium luxury chassis.
EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid wireless gaming earbuds | $169 $109 at Amazon
It's always great finding Prime Day gaming deals on some of our favorite tech, so this $60 discount on the EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid earbuds has us beaming. You're getting our pick for the best gaming earbuds available right now for just $109 - that's a brand new record low price. Perfect for console, mobile, and PC, these dual Bluetooth and 2.4GHz buds are powerful, versatile and incredibly well priced today.

Logitech G735 wireless gaming headset | $229.99 $159.99 at Amazon
We've only ever seen the Logitech G735 dipping to $168 in previous sales, which means you're saving an additional $10 today. That's impressive considering this recent headset is generally found on the shelves for around $199.99. We were impressed by the slick design and seemingly endless comfort of these particularly well designed headphones, and only really griped at the end price. Today's discount fixes that, though, which means you're getting excellent value overall.

JBL Quantum 100 gaming headset | $39.95 $19.95 at Amazon
If you're after something a little more affordable, it doesn't get much cheaper than this. The JBL Quantum 100s already had a budget-friendly MSRP at $39.95, but they're down to $19.95 in Amazon's latest Prime Day gaming deals. The Quantum line is well known for its high quality audio - so while you're picking up a super entry level device you can still rest assured of its quality.

Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32-inch curved 4K gaming monitor | $1,499.99 $999.99 at Amazon
If the Samsung Odyssey G5 featured earlier looked a little weak, feast your eyes on this 4K 240Hz beauty. This is a luxury monitor, with a 1000R curve, 32-inch form factor, and Nvidia G-Sync built it. That means it commands a serious $1,499.99 price tag day to day. Thankfully, that's been slashed by $500 in this week's sales, dropping the powerhouse down to just $999.99. That's the best price we've seen all year and only $20 more than Black Friday's super rare $979.99 position.

Overall, you're saving $176 on this 6-core CPU - that's a full 57% saving dropping us down to $133.08.

Logitech G502 Lightspeed wireless gaming mouse | $149.99 $89.99 at Amazon
We featured the cheaper wired version of this excellent pointer earlier in the sale, but if you're after a cordless pointer, the Logitech G502 Lightspeed edition is one of the best on the market right now. That's not even taking today's $60 discount into account, a saving that brings to within $5 of a record low price. You're getting a tricked out mouse here, with 11 programmable buttons, Logitech's powerful 25K sensor, and the ability to wireless charge through the PowerPlay mouse pad.

Razer Wolverine V2 Pro | $249.99 $179.99 at Amazon
Here's your reminder that you can currently get one of the best (and most expensive) PS5 controllers a lot cheaper. And thank goodness, too, since this gamepad is the priciest of the PS5 bunch. In this deal, however, you get $70 off, which brings it down below the price of a DualSense Edge, and even the Victrix Pro BFG, which is our top pick.
The Razer Wolverine V2 Pro is an awesome choice of gamepad for anyone that likes a chunkier controller. It stands out from the competition thanks to its six extra mappable buttons (four on the back, two extra bumpers), its unheard-of battery life, and its PC compatibility as well.
At $179.99 this is a great time to pull the trigger.

You're saving $50 on this model in Amazon's latest Prime Day deals for gamers, scoring the PC and PlayStation compatible device for just $89.99. Considering this is usually found much closer to $120 that's a great price.

Up to 20% off select gift cards at Amazon
It's that time again - Amazon has cut 20% off a range of gift cards, spanning brands like Chipotle, Game&Grub, Fanatics, Old Navy, and even Uber. The vast majority of these are $10 off a $50 card, but there are cheaper options out there. Unfortunately, they're limited to one brand per customer, and you'll receive your credit within three days.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury | $59.99 $49.48 at Amazon
It's quite rare to get a good discount on Mario games, and that extends to the co-op delight that is 3D World + Bowser's Fury. If you've not tried it yet, you really need to do yourself a favor and pick it up - our Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury review praised it for being "quirky, creative, and constant good fun."
Buy it if:
✅ You want to play co-op with loved ones or friends
✅ You enjoy both 2D and 3D Mario games
Don't buy it if:
❌ You prefer fully 3D Mario games that let you explore
❌ You don't like time constraints

Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 OC | $279.99 $259.99 at Best Buy
This isn't the biggest saving, but this is a great opportunity to get a brand-new component upgrade for slightly cheaper than it has been until now. We haven't gone hands-on with the Radeon RX 7600 yet, but the RX 7900 XT and XTX are probably my favourite GPUs on the market right now.
More than that, if you hate the price of Nvidia's GPUs, the choice to go with an AMD card is a vote with your wallet. Don't be afraid, they offer incredible performance for their price, and shouldn't be dismissed as a lesser brand. AMD deserves more credit in the GPU arena in my opinion, and if you're in the market for a new mid-to-low-range graphics card, here's a solid option for $260.
Razer Blackshark V2 headset (wired) | $99.99 $59.99 at Amazon
Want a high-quality gaming headset without having to pay a metaphorical arm and leg? This is a great choice from some of the best in the business. Indeed, our Razer Blackshark V2 review calls it "comfortably one of the best headsets we've ever tested." To be honest, 'nuff said.
Buy it if:
✅ You want superb game audio
✅ You want something comfortable for long sessions
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't like 'gamer' style headphones
❌ You're expecting the best of the best

Hori Nintendo Switch D-Pad controller | $29.99 $20.99 at Amazon
Whether you've run into the dreaded Joy-Con drift or you're missing the D-Pad of yore, Hori's Nintendo Switch Joy-Con alternative is an excellent budget-minded left gamepad. Yes, you're dropping some of the Joy-Con specific features like rumble and NFC here - but you're getting a perfectly serviceable set of clickers for just $20.99 - that's nearly a third off the $29.99 MSRP.
Buy it if:
✅ You need to replace a Joy-Con cheap
✅ The D-Pad calls to you
✅ You want to up your Smash Bros. game
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're looking to add more multiplayer options
❌ You rely on rumble in-game
