The Amazon Prime Day gaming deals are a pretty decent bunch this year, starting strong with discounts for PS5, Nintendo, PC, and Xbox players alike. While hardware discounts aren't as plentiful as we've seen in the past, I've already spotted some record-low prices on games and accessories to make up for that fact.
Amazon's store page is packed; however, it's worth keeping in mind that sometimes products can be artificially inflated before later savings, which is where I come in to let you know what's truly a good deal worth paying attention to. Below is a roundup of the best gaming deals currently live, covering both PC and console offerings. I'm keeping this page regularly updated as Prime Day goes on, so you'll find the latest live discounts here.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your wallets and get ready for savings. Here are the top Prime Day gaming discounts that are worth your time and attention.

I've tracked prices, compared products, and hunted for extra deals for six years' worth of Prime Days now, and with Big Deal events thrown in that's double-digit events spread across my time as a dedicated Deals Editor at our sister site TechRadar and as Managing Editor of Hardware at GamesRadar+. I've been hands on with the tech you actually need to know about and I know where to find the biggest offers.

This is a massive saving on the latest Metroid, which is only a few months old. While this is the original Switch version, a digital upgrade to Switch 2 at $10 makes this cheaper than the Switch 2 physical deal. This is one of the best looking games on the system, and features an alien world worth exploring. Especially at this price.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is the most recent game in the series, and this is the best price I've seen it for on Amazon yet. Even with the Black Flag remake on its way, it's not truly new like this feudal Japan-set adventure that mixes together ninja stealth with brutal samurai combat.
UK: £44.99 £27.99 at Amazon

I might be wrong, but I think this is a record low price! I've not seen Super Mario RPG for less, and price comparison suggests that the previous low was $34.73. With that in mind, now seems like a mighty fine time to grab a copy if you'd had your eye on this one.

This is the cheapest I've seen Amazon's iconic, exclusive Mario + Rabbids dual pack, giving you two fantastically silly strategy RPGs for an extremely low price. This might be a code in the box, but with savings this good, it's hard to complain.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a serious Mario Kart World competitor, and a great racer on Switch whether you're just looking to go fast, or you're a Sonic and Sega fan. This is the best price I've seen for it on this system, and a digital upgrade path is available for $10 for Switch 2 as well.

This delightful farming life sim comes from the creators of classic Harvest Moon, and it shows in the game's quality! It's perfect to take on the go or play handheld on Switch, too. This premium edition comes loaded with goodies, which makes this an even better offer.

Star Fox pre-orders have kicked off with a bang at Walmart, with a $10 discount on early copies. Considering how much hype there is for this remake, and the fact that other retailers are still at full price, that's a win.

Elden Ring remains one of the best games ever made, and this remains one of its best discounts. If you missed it dropping this low before, now is the perfect time to rectify that mistake and dive into a seminal open-world adventure from developer FromSoftware.

One of last year's best remakes (and that's saying something in a year stuffed with them), this enhanced edition of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is back to the second lowest price I've seen.

It's a modest reduction, sure, but it is on a game that was quietly one of last year's best. An open-world to follow up on Sucker Punch's already excellent Tsushima, Yotei was a front-runner in a whole host of award categories last year, and might have walked away with more if it weren't for those pesky Clair Obscur devs.

If you are an RPG fan who has a Switch 2, then you'll want to grab this record-low price on the 2025 Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake. Here you are essentially getting two games in one that look and play fantastic. There is another game to pick up after this if you want to experience the full Erdrick Trilogy, but this deal will keep you plenty busy while we wait for more bargains on Dragon Quest 3.

Considering how Pokemon Legends: Z-A only came out last year and Nintendo doesn't give out discounts on exclusives lightly, this is a great deal. It's the latest outing in the Pokemon Legends spin-off series and sees you battling trainers across Lumiose City. Personally, it's one of the best Pokemon games I've played in a while, and saving over $20 is very much worth it.

This is FromSoftware's latest game, and it's now discounted at a record low price on Amazon. It's also the lowest that I've seen the game go for on PS5 in general. So if you are looking to pick up a new multiplayer offering, this is it, friends.

At a 50% discount, now is the best time to pick up the Silent Hill 2 Remake for the PS5. This is still one of the best horror games ever made, and while we wait for Silent Hill: Townfall to release later this year, it's the perfect way to pass the time.

The best Prime Day gaming tech deals
The Scuf Nomad is half price at Amazon this week, perfect for iPhone users looking for a little more from their mobile titles. This Bluetooth-connected controller is a mainstay in major sales, and hasn't been up at that full $69.99 since last year. Still, this is the cheapest it ever goes.

It's not cheap as controllers go, but I got one of these recently, and it was a huge upgrade - nice and clicky, a good weight, and no issues with drift. Granted, I was previously using an Xbox 360 controller, but when I say this was a worthy replacement to my GOAT, hopefully that means something.

This Scuf pad is at the best price I've seen it, and it's one of the best PS5 controllers as far as I'm concerned, offering a twist on the standard controller layout with a bit of extra heft and functionality.

Even though it's a relatively small saving in the grand scheme of things, ; this Acer Nitro V 16S AI was at $1,200 at the start of the year, so this is a solid saving on a very competitive RTX 5060 laptop build.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova is one of the best gaming headsets, and saving $30 is always welcomed. I will say that we did see these go for $16 cheaper back in January. So, it may be worth waiting until Black Friday to see if prices drop further. But if you are after a quality headset right now, 27% is very decent.

We have seen this old faithful mouse for less before now, but the fact it's jumped up in price recently makes it worthy of attention. That usually means a bigger discount is on the way, so watch this very closely over the 2026 Prime Day gaming deals.

A massive $575 discount has hit the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 in Best Buy's competing sale this week, dropping the RTX 5070 configuration down to $1,574.99. With current gaming laptop price soaring for the new generation that's a solid offer worth investigating.

This massive 57-inch 4K curved gaming monitor may still be pricey, but with a $600 discount, it's a great deal if you want to take your gaming session to the next level. I have seen the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 go for around $100 cheaper on Amazon before, but this is still one of the best premium gaming monitor discounts currently available.

What to expect from Prime Day gaming deals 2026
Those on the hunt for Prime Day gaming deals this summer are casting a wide net, so to help you narrow your catch, we're rounding up everything we expect to see on a platform basis. You'll find our predictions for the biggest discounts in the worlds of PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch/Switch 2, and PC just below.
PS5
The recent US price increases for Sony hardware have put the Prime Day deals in an awkward spot. So much so that, following the brand's console-less Days of Play sale in May, I'm not expecting to see any discounts on the PS5 Slim, Digital, or Pro consoles this summer.
Those who don't already have a console would do best to keep a close eye on refurbished stock available direct from PlayStation, while those in the lucky position of already owning a device will be looking to games and the best PS5 accessories.
As we've seen in previous years, the biggest discounts will be reserved for long-standing entries in the catalog, but I'm excited to see major debut discounts on newer games like Saros, Resident Evil Requiem, and Ghost of Yotei.
Unfortunately, some accessories will suffer the same fate as the consoles. SSDs have shot up in price over the last six months due to current component shortages. While you could previously find extra storage for about $100, rates have tripled in some cases. We'll still be hunting for the lowest SSD prices this month, but unless you absolutely have to upgrade, I'd recommend holding off for as long as possible.
Instead, the vast majority of PS5 action will take place in the gamepad arena this Prime Day. Razer and Scuf have both recently launched premium PS5 controllers and the Raiju V3 Pro has seen significant discounts already. The Scuf Omega is a little newer, but could see its first price cuts in Amazon's sale. Not only that, but the official DualSense Edge has been a little more lenient in recent months as well, offering a $30 discount during Days of Play.
In audio, there are three of the best PS5 headsets I'd be looking out for in particular. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless has just been superceded by the Nova Pro Omni and is ripe for heavier discounts. The Turtle Beach Atlas 200 is fantastic value in the budget price range, and has been seeing its own wobbles recently. Finally, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 offers an unrivalled mobile EQ preset experience with all the trappings of the luxury audio afforded to its more premium siblings.
Watch List:
Razer Raiju V3 Pro
MSRP: $219.99 / £199.99
Expected Price: $129.99 - $169.99 / £179.99
Buy it if:
✅ You need as many buttons as possible
✅ You prefer symmetrical thumbsticks
✅ TMR is a must
Don't buy it if:
❌ You need Sony's haptic features
❌ You prefer a heavier feel

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5
MSRP: $149.99 / £129.99
Expected price: $79.99 - $119.99 / £89.99 - £99.99
Buy it if:
✅ Wireless is a priority
✅ You prefer a ski-style headband
✅ You want easy EQ settings
Don't buy it if:
❌ You also need Xbox compatibility

Samsung 990 Pro (1TB)

✅ You absolutely have to upgrade now

Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch 2 is a two-sided coin right now. On the one hand we've got looming price increases pushing rates up to $499.99 for the handheld alone in September. On the other, the brand's choose-your-own game bundle is offering excellent value ahead of that deadline. It's unlikely we'll see a better offer than this on the latest release.
Of course, Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals are a lot more reliable when it comes to games anyway. While we generally don't see the kinds of discounts we would expect from Black Friday here, I still expect to see some $20 / £20 discounts on older Switch releases like Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart, and Super Mario Odyssey. Newer Switch 2 games walk a finer line, but with holiday titles like Pokemon Legends Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond aging a little further there could be some newer savings up for grabs.
There's also Nintendo Switch accessories to consider. Anything not compatible with the new Nintendo Switch 2 is already tanking in price. The Hori Split Pad Pro Attachment Set has dropped as low as $39.99 ($40 off $79.99) since the new device released, and the Genki Covert Dock is a Prime Day favorite ready to see similar savings.
It's still a little too early to expect discounts on first party Nintendo Switch 2 accessories - the Pro controller and Joy-Con will likely hold firm to their rock-solid MSRPs as they have done since launch. However, third party gadgets have started to see their rates slip recently. The Belkin Charging Case is far more amenable right now, thanks to the release of the newer Charging Case Pro.
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 has seen its price chopped as low as $59.99 (at Woot) in recent months, representing excellent value from an audio perspective.
Watchlist:
Belkin Switch 2 Charging Case
MSRP: $69.99 / £49.99
Expected price: $49.99 - $59.99 / £39.99 - £49.99
Buy it if:
✅ You regularly travel with your handheld
✅ You need a portable charger anyway
Don't buy it if:
❌ You just want a cheap storage solution

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless
MSRP: $109.99 / £99.99
Expected price: $59.99 / £69.99
Buy it if:
✅ You have a spare receiver slot
✅ You need a detachable mic
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're happy with a wired connection

Xbox
We haven't seen too many Xbox Series X deals on the shelves in the last few months. Microsoft's price increases have made these consoles particularly difficult to justify and savings are few and far between.
That means the majority of this year's Prime Day gaming deals for Xbox players will be focused on that magic Game Pass code. While discounts haven't been too appealing recently (the best we're generally able to find was $5 off a three-month subscription), these really are the holy grails of Xbox deals.
Thankfully, there's no shortage of kit. Official controllers are going to be the most interesting sellers here; the cheaper Xbox Wireless Controller, mid-range Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller, and premium Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller are the stars of this year's show.
Watchlist:
Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller
MSRP: $139.99 / £114.99
Expected Price: $99.99 / £99.99
Buy it if:
✅ You want more customization options
✅ You're tired of constantly charging
✅ You want a PC controller as well
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want all the attachments from day one

Amazon Prime Day gaming deals: FAQ
Do you need a membership for Prime Day gaming deals?
Yes, you need a Prime membership to take advantage of the majority of this year's fall sale. However, you can easily pick up a 30-day free trial to comfortably see you through the event without spending a penny (provided you cancel your subscription before the recurring payment). As well as that, it's also worth noting that many retailers like Best Buy and Walmart in the US (and Currys and Very in the UK) often attempt to price-match Amazon's biggest Prime Day gaming deals.
Amazon Prime | 30-day free trial
You will need an Amazon Prime membership to take part in this year's sale, but the retailer regularly offers free trials to get as many eyes on its site as possible. This 30 day offer will see you all the way through the sale without paying a cent!
