New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
Like clockwork, every summer brings with it another Prime Day, and new deals on video games and gear to play them with. Regardless of how you play, there are deals for you. Before Prime Day ends tonight, you can grab everything from new consoles to VR headsets, to rarely discounted first-party Nintendo games.
This list mostly focuses on console games, with a smidge of mobile gaming thrown in for good measure. For PC gaming deals, check out my recommendations for the best gaming laptops deals you can get right now.
The best gaming gear deals still running
Before I get to the games proper, let’s talk about gear to play games with. While the major current generation consoles aren’t seeing many deals at this point, that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck.
-
The original Nintendo Switch is still a great machine, and right now you can get an OLED model for $100 off.
-
If you’ve been waiting to jump into VR, the Meta Quest 3S is a great place to start, and you can currently get it for $50 off, or for $80 off if you opt for the version with more storage and Batman: Arkham Shadow thrown in.
-
There’s also the Lenovo Legion Go S, which is currently seeing a cut to the Windows version of the device. I prefer the SteamOS version, but luckily, it’s easy enough to install SteamOS on this model.
-
You could even opt for a cheap cloud gaming setup, snagging a Fire TV Stick 4K Max, 1 month of Game Pass, and an Xbox controller for just a little bit more than an Xbox controller on its own.
Regardless of how you want to play, this summer’s deals are likely to have one that appeals to you.
The best Nintendo game deals still running
First-party Nintendo games don’t go on sale very often, but with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, plenty of games for the original Switch are seeing discounts down to around $40 this summer. These include titles from the beloved Zelda, Mario, and Pokémon franchises, just to name a few. Even if you’ve upgraded to Nintendo’s latest console, these games will still run on that machine, too, and some even have upgraded performance. But even on the Switch 1, they’re still worth it—Nintendo games are still so revered after all this time for a reason.
Finally, PlayStation and Xbox gamers have their own deals to shop. These include cuts to mainstays like Elden Ring, but also recent releases like Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. There are discounts on RPGs, stealth games, and even co-op platformers here.
Some deals are only available on certain platforms, even if a game is multiplatform, so I’ve noted which platform has an active deal in parentheses next to the game’s title.
Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.
-
Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale runs through Sunday, July 13 and includes deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+.
-
Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.
