2025 has already been a huge year for video games. Between the Nintendo Switch 2 launch and this year’s game release schedule, our gaming backlogs are looking downright scary at the moment (not to mention expensive).

Good news, though — Amazon Prime Day 2025 is just around the corner, and the event always marks a great time to pick up everything on your gaming wishlist at a big discount. While Prime Day doesn’t officially begin for a few more days (the event runs July 8 to 11), there are still plenty of live deals from the gaming space that are worth checking out, from individual titles, to consoles, to accessories, and beyond.

Take a look at our top deal picks ahead of the sale, and be sure to keep checking backing regularly, because we’ll be updating this page every time a new batch of discounts come in.

Best PlayStation deal

Why we like it

Final Fantasy XVI is unlike any FF game that came before it, and honestly, we think that’s a good thing. That’s because Final Fantasy XVI is a truly fantastic character action game that combines engaging combat, an intriguing story, as well as the visual spectacle we’ve come to expect from the series to make an incredibly worthwhile adventure for all PS5 owners to experience.

Best Xbox deal

Why we like it

Xbox’s Pro-style controllers are some of the best on the market, so when you have the chance to get one at a discount, it’s always worth it. The Core model comes with many of the accessories from the more expensive version, including a charging case. Pick one up ahead of Prime Day and save $40.99.

Best Nintendo Switch deal

Why we like it

If you have any interest in handheld gaming, a Nintendo Switch needs to be part of your repertoire. It’s no doorbuster deal, but the original Switch is $20 off ahead of Prime Day. If you don’t feel like springing for the cutting-edge Nintendo Switch 2, we wouldn’t recommend against going back a generation.
