Prime Day gaming deals - FAQ
When will Prime Day gaming deals start?
We don't have long until the 2022 Prime Day gaming deals get started - we can expect the discounts to arrive in mid-July. Actually, we're just a couple of weeks out; Amazon has now confirmed (opens in new tab) that the bargains will officially take place from Tuesday July 12 to Wednesday July 13. That's a full 48 hours of offers, so strap in.
Although we're happy to know when the Prime Day gaming deals are happening at long last (mainly so we can prepare our wallets), it's something of a surprise. Prime Day normally falls over a Monday and Tuesday, so a mid-week kick-off is unexpected.
Still, at least you can now save the date on your calendars. Which you'll want to do even if it's just to take advantage of free games like Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (opens in new tab), by the way - it's being released free for all Prime members on Prime Gaming.
Do I need a Prime membership for the Prime Day video game deals?
Yes, you will need a Prime membership to get the best Prime Day gaming deals. As this name would suggest, the best offers are normally set aside for Prime subscribers. That means you'll need to sign up (opens in new tab) ahead of the big day if you want to save the max amount of cash.
The competition always offer savings of their own
However, you aren't sunk if you don't have a membership. There are some price-cuts for non-members throughout the sales event, and it's worth pointing out that the competition always offer savings of their own. Best Buy, Walmart, and the rest commonly run discounts on their sites at the same time, and for the most part, they're actually good.
What to expect from Prime Day gaming deals 2022
While Prime Day tends to be more focused on laptops, Kindles, and Alexa devices, its gaming deals can be pretty good if you keep your eyes peeled. Namely, Prime Day video game deals make up the bulk of the discounts and allow you to catch up on anything you've missed for less. A great example is one of 2021's biggest releases, Deathloop. If previous years are anything to go by (where games that launched during a similar time-frame in 2020, such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla, got a massive discount of more than 50% for 2021's Prime Day gaming deals), it'll drop by a decent amount.
2022's big names should enjoy a fair reduction too. Last year's price cuts on early 2021 games like Returnal (which dropped by almost 30%) indicate that we can expect at least $20 off tentpole releases including Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
Nintendo Switch games could also join the party via Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals, but because the company is notoriously reluctant to discount new games, we wouldn't count on it. Judging by 2021, we suspect console bundles will get the lion's share of attention instead.
It's certainly plausible that a console drop will occur this July
On a similar note, we expect that the best gaming headsets (and other accessories ranging from keyboards to mice) will get major price cuts as well. For instance, 2021 saw the SteelSeries Arctis 5 RGB Wired headset drop from $99 to $66 during Amazon's Prime Day PS5 deals. Because Razer always comes out strong with Prime Day gaming deals on its latest headsets, we'd expect its entry-level Razer BlackShark V2 X to revisit its Black Friday low of $34.99.
Equally, console storage got a boon of offers - including a 22% drop for the WD My Passport external HDD - in 2021's Prime Day Xbox Series X deals. That means you should keep an eye out for savings on top picks from the best PS5 accessories and the best Xbox Series X accessories this time around, with a particular focus on SSDs now that the PS5 can use them. Namely, the Seagate Firecuda 530 has been steadily dropping in cost all year so could return to or better its lowest ever price of $189.99 for 2022's Prime Day gaming deals.
Will you be able to take advantage of a PS5 restock or an Xbox Series X restock, though? It's certainly possible. Despite the difficulty of getting either machine since launch, the Xbox is becoming easier to find and PlayStation's latest upgrade seems to be enjoying more regular drops these days. With that in mind, it's certainly plausible that a console drop will occur this July.
We're more certain of savings for Prime Day board games. Everything from party distractions to the best board games of yesteryear were slashed in price during 2021, including the famously expensive Twilight Imperium (it tumbled to $85). As such, keep a close eye on usually-expensive hobby games; these get the most worthwhile reductions.
