All the best Presidents Day deals for gamers are officially here, as the annual holiday has ushered in discounts at Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, Dell, and more. Everything from consoles and controllers to more expensive setup enhancements like the latest gaming monitors has been given the chop, and I've picked out the top offers to save you the trouble.

You're not just getting any old discount in this treasure trove, though. No - instead, I've kept my search limited only to the Presidents Day sales offering record-low prices. If it's been cheaper in the past, you won't find it on this page. That way, you won't be left wondering if you should wait for other sales in 2026 or take advantage of appealing gaming deals happening right now.

FAQ

When will Presidents Day sales start?

Presidents Day sales start on Monday February 16 this year, though I'm already seeing discounts on the shelves a week out from the main event.

How long do Presidents Day sales last?

Presidents Day sales generally run for a few days after the actual holiday, before tapering out towards the end of the month. However, supplies can start to run low on more popular offers by the time even the big day arrives.

What usually goes on sale for Presidents Day?

Presidents Day sales are best known for their heavy discounts on larger items like kitchen and laundry appliances, TVs, and laptops. However, we're seeing more and more gaming tech featured in these annual discounts, with PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo all getting involved. Laptops and PCs are also particularly well served, as they are often featured within the same sites that run larger Presidents Day sales across general purpose devices.

We're also rounding up all the latest PS5 bundles and Nintendo Switch deals for those after a specific console. Or, take a look at the best Meta Quest deals on the shelves right now for more savings.
