Walmart's Christmas sale is here, and with it comes some considerable savings on some of the best gifts for gamers in the business. Whether you're shopping for someone who already seems to have it all or a new player two, there are plenty of games, accessories, and merch options out there at the moment.

I've been tracking these Christmas sales for years now, and gifting all manner of gaming paraphernalia for much longer than that. I've combed through Walmart's offers to bring you my favorite discounts on the most giftable items on the site. Whether you know everything about your recipient's play habits or you don't even recognize their platform, there's something for everyone here. 

If you want to skip straight to the sale you can do so via Walmart's dedicated deals page for all things video games. Or, you can take a look at my highlights just below.

When will Walmart's Christmas sale end?

There's no official end date to Walmart's Christmas sale this year, so we expect it to run all the way up until the big day itself with a final push around those last shipping dates. These discounts may then turn into 'after-Christmas sales' once the holidays are over. 

Will Walmart's Christmas sale ship in time for the holidays?

At the moment you will more than likely receive your goodies before the holidays, though that time can stretch on more in-demand items so we'd always recommend double-checking. 


We're also rounding up all the best Nintendo Switch gifts as well as the best PS5 gifts and Xbox gifts for more inspiration as well.

Managing Editor - Hardware

Managing Editor of Hardware at GamesRadar+, I originally landed in hardware at our sister site TechRadar before moving over to GamesRadar. In between, I've written for Tom’s Guide, Wireframe, The Indie Game Website and That Video Game Blog, covering everything from the PS5 launch to the Apple Pencil. Now, i'm focused on Nintendo Switch, gaming laptops (and the keyboards, headsets and mice that come with them), PS5, and trying to find the perfect projector.
