Amazon Prime Day PS5 deals are officially back again this June 23 through to June 26.
This year's Prime Day is another four-day extravaganza where you can expect to see plenty of markdowns on everything, from the best PS5 games to the best PS5 controllers, headsets, and more. But before you get trigger-happy with your shopping fingers, don't anticipate finding any massive savings on PS5 bundles or standalone consoles now or when July 23 rolls around. Due to the recent wave of PS5 price hikes, any discounts you see on the console are not going to be as valuable as they once were.
That doesn't mean you can't get excited. The PS5 is celebrating its sixth anniversary this year, and that means that there's a smorgasbord of physical games that are bound to see new record lows. In fact, it's already happening, with Ghost of Yotei dropping down to just $49 at Amazon and Death Stranding 2 down to $39 at Amazon already.
PS5 games get cheaper each month regardless of Prime Day, but prepare to see more major savings on late 2025 and even newer 2026 releases where they came from. I've been covering Prime Day PS5 deals for years now, and have gathered all you need to know about the upcoming Sony savings on games and everything else that counts (early deals included) down below.
Today's best PS5 deals
- Games: 2025 releases from $49

What to expect
Prime Day PS5 deals can be the perfect chance to finally make the next-gen Sony upgrade, grab some new accessories, bolster your physical game collection, or just give your existing PS5 a well-needed storage boost. This year, the PS5 is celebrating its sixth anniversary, which is a major milestone. But most importantly, it means that there's six whole years' worth of games and accessories that are more than due for some significant price drops.
As with most consoles, you would expect to see some markdowns on the console itself during sales events like Prime Day, but I wouldn't hold out hope to see that this coming June. Sony announced on May 27 on the official PlayStation Blog that due to the "continued pressures in the global economic landscape" the PS5, PS5 Pro, and PS Portal remote player would receive price increases. These went into effect as of April 2, 2026, and saw the PS5 Pro go from $749.99 / £699.99 to $899.99 / £789.99. Meanwhile, the PS5 Slim disc edition went from $549.99 / £479.99 to $649.99 / £569.99, and the digital version from $499.99 / £429.99 to $599.99 / £519.99.
These new prices have put a damper on the expectation that we'll see any great discounts on consoles this time around. While I don't think console savings will be unheard of, any price cuts are likely still to be higher than the original prices of the console the year before. With that in mind, I'd only recommend picking up the Sony console if you can grab one for as close to their original MSRP as possible.
While consoles are likely not to feature any star-studded discounts this year, there's no question that games will. I'm a physical game collector, and one of the reasons why I adore the Sony console as much as I do is that you only have to wait a month or two until even brand-new titles drop in price. That happens with or without Prime Day, but for the best deals, I recommend keeping an eye on the latest releases.
For me, I'm keeping track of Saros and 007 First Light in hopes of seeing some juicy price cuts. Both games are still at their full $69.99 MSRPs, but with Prime Day right around the corner, it's the perfect occasion to see some debut discounts of at least up to $10 / £10 off. The biggest and best differences will be found with releases that are a few months old, much like Resident Evil Requiem. It launched on February 27, 2026, and has already dropped as low as £47.99 in the UK. While it hasn't budged from its full $69.99 price in the US, Prime Day will mark the first big sales event that has kicked off since its release, so it's bound to be a shining star of this summer's savings.
What to expect from Amazon Prime Day PS5 accessory deals
Prime Day is always an opportune time to grab some PS5 accessories in an effort to breathe new life into the now six-year-old console. This year, I recommend more than ever to check out the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. The premium headset is not immune to sales events, and so I fully expect it to feature during this year's Prime Day simply as it does every year. However, there's a bigger reason as to why I suspect it'll be discounted more than ever this June, and that's because of the existence of the new SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni.
The Omni is the new best PS5 headset that myself or the rest of the hardware team has tested. It's essentially almost identical to the Pro Wireless that came before it, but it features some welcome upgrades from a new Midnight Blue colorway, a better out-of-the-box sound, and a newly upgraded Game Hub that can connect to the PS5 and an additional three consoles. As it's so new, it has yet to shift from its $399.99 MSRP, but its existence alone as the new shiny flagship SteelSeries headset will likely result in the Pro Wireless getting even cheaper over time. Heavily discounting the Pro Wireless this June would be a great method for the brand to get rid of old stock, and that's exactly what I think is going to happen this Prime Day and during every major sales event in the near future.
If you already have a great headset, then Prime Day is also an opportune time to grab a new PS5 controller. During October's Prime Day 2025 sales, the PDP Victrix Pro BFG dropped as low as $149.99, $50 off its full MSRP. It doesn't have the patented haptic feedback of Sony's first-party pads, but it's still equipped with customizable modular sticks and buttons, and four mappable back buttons, which make it a worthy pickup even in 2026. Turtle Beach has launched a new "reloaded" version of this pad, and much like the Omni, this could push the stock of the older iteration to get even cheaper. As a regular fixture of sales events, it's bound to make a return, though don't expect to see the same for the best SSDs for PS5.
The rising SSD prices, as a knock-on effect from the RAM Storage Crisis, have meant that grabbing a hold of PS5-compatible drives is a bit of a challenge. Sure, you're likely to at least find stock of top-performing drives like the Samsung 990 Pro, but you're also likely to find it with an eye-watering price tag attached. The 2TB version of the drive used to sit around the $200 price mark according to my handy CamelCamelCamel price tracker, but it's now as high as $478 at Amazon as of typing. With there seemingly no end to the escalating SSD prices, I wouldn't recommend you spend your time hunting for a new PS5 SSD this June.
