The best Prime Day gaming deals take up to 57% off games and gear from Nintendo, PlayStation and more

We’re into the final stages of the latest Amazon Prime Day sale, but it continues to be a good time to pick up some new video games and gaming gear on the cheap. To help you out, we’ve weeded through the junk and rounded up the best Prime Day gaming deals that are still kicking below. The offers include discounts on PS5 exclusives, Nintendo Switch 2 games and various mice, headsets and other accessories we recommend. As a refresher, Prime Day ends at 3 a.m. ET on June 27, and you’ll need to be a Prime member to access many (but not all) of the deals.

Top picks: Prime Day gaming deals

Best Prime Day gaming hardware deals

Nintendo

We aren’t seeing any true discounts for the Switch 2 right now, and with the ongoing RAM and storage chip shortage, we don’t expect any new deals to arrive as Prime Day goes on. However, we do think Nintendo’s latest console bundle is worth noting. It’s not an out-and-out deal at its MSRP of $499, but it does pair the console with your choice of Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza or Pokemon Pokopia — three picks from our guide to the best Switch 2 games — which saves you $20 or $30 compared to buying one of those titles separately.

More pertinently, Nintendo has already confirmed that the console alone will cost $500 after a $50 price hike coming on September 1. So consider this more of a PSA: If you have the means today and know you’ll want a Switch 2 at some point soon, it might be worth taking advantage of the current bundle and snagging an extra game in the process.

Meta Quest 3S (128GB) VR headset for $297 ($53 off MSRP): The Quest 3S is the consensus pick for those looking to get into VR without breaking the bank. It works without cables and runs just as fast as the pricier Quest 3 while supporting all the same games and apps. Its Fresnel lenses are decidedly worse, but they should still be sharp and clear enough for newcomers and casual users. While this deal isn’t the best we’ve seen, it essentially brings the headset back to its old MSRP before Meta hiked the price by $50 this past April. If you need more storage, the 256GB model is on sale for $382, which is a $68 discount.

Nex Playground for $239 ($60 off): The Nex Playground is a cute little gaming system built entirely around motion controls, sort of like the old Microsoft Kinect or a Nintendo Wii if it didn’t use remotes. It’s a breeze to set up and has a library of dead-simple games that’re largely aimed at kids, so it might be worth a try if you’re looking for a fun way to get your little ones moving even when they aren’t outside. Yahoo Tech’s Chris McGraw gave it a positive review earlier this year.

There are a few catches, though: The basic motion-tracking camera means you have to clear out some space to play comfortably, the actual tracking isn’t especially fluid and you only get access to a handful of games unless you buy a separate “Play Pass” subscription. Nevertheless, this matches the device’s best price since its RAMageddon-induced price hike in April. Options that come with a 3- or 12-month Play Pass membership are similarly discounted.

Nintendo

Tears of the Kingdom is an open-world adventure done right: Its giant, layered world is filled with mystery and doesn’t bend to the player at every turn, while its delightful contraption-building mechanics offer a great sense of freedom in solving puzzles or simply getting around. This is the best price to date for the Switch 2 edition, which runs at a buttery smooth 60 fps with a sharper resolution and faster load times than the original Switch 1 version. The latter is also on sale for $50, though we’ve seen larger discounts for that in the past.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for $49 ($21 off): The predecessor to Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild is a comparatively simpler open-world adventure — there are no “sky islands” above or sprawling depths below, and you don’t spend as much time messing with the game’s physics or crafting your own items. But it’s a more focused, faster-paced and arguably more soulful game as result, one that comes the closest to modernizing the promise of the original Legend of Zelda from all those years ago. As with TotK, this Switch 2 edition also runs fantastically on the new hardware.

This is the largest discount we’ve tracked for the updated version. The Switch 1 copy is also on sale for $42, though we’ve seen it go for less in the past. The DLC expansion Pass for that Switch version is discounted as well, as is the Switch 2 upgrade pack for those who already own the original game.

Nintendo

Amazon is running a handful of $10 discounts on physical copies of upcoming Switch 2 games, bringing them down to the same price as their digital editions. Alongside the looter-shooter Splatoon Raiders, the tactical RPG Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, the puzzle-adventure game Orbitals and the casual sports game Nintendo Switch Sports Resortare also on sale. To be clear, these are pre-order deals, and there’s always some risk to buying a game before you see its finished state. So you should only take advantage if you’re 100 percent sure you’re getting the game no matter what.

Kirby Air Riders for $50 ($20 off): Kirby Air Riders is a sugar rush of a mascot racing game with a weirder and more experimental air to it than something like Mario Kart World. Its races are quick and bursting with color, and its vehicles accelerate automatically, so you control everything with just two buttons and the left stick. Despite that, it has a real skill ceiling: No magic item will carry you from first to last every race. The cars themselves are balanced like a fighting game roster, and there’s a decent variety of modes to check out, including a single-player story campaign and the frantic “City Trial” upgrade-and-battle mode. This is the first major discount we’ve tracked.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for $45 ($25 off): The great irony of Metroid Prime 4 is that longtime Metroid Prime fans are the people most likely to be disappointed in it. Its levels are more linear and self-contained than previous entries in the first-person adventure series, and it saddles you with a few annoyingly chatty NPCs. Still, take Beyond for what it is and you’ll find a stylish and accessible sci-fi shooter with thrilling boss fights, snappy combat, a great soundtrack and fantastic visuals. This is a rare discount and the second-best price we’ve tracked after one brief drop to $35 earlier this year. The Switch 1 version is also on sale for $30.

Electronic Arts

Split Fiction is designed from the ground up to be played with another person. In fact, you can only play it in co-op. But if you have a buddy who is willing to go through the roughly 15-hour campaign, you’ll both find a crowd-pleasing action game that overcomes its sometimes hacky writing with tight controls and a Nintendo-like commitment to presenting new gameplay ideas. This discount comes within a couple bucks of the best price we’ve seen for the Switch 2 version. Only one person needs to buy the game too — the other can then download a free Friend’s Pass and join in at no extra cost.

Mario Tennis Fever for $50 ($20 off): It may not hit the highs of the Mario Tennis games from the GameCube and N64 era, but Fever should still be good for some arcadey fun, especially if you have a few friends (or kids) you can play it with locally. It has a large roster of characters, each with different stats and over-the-top abilities, while the core tennis itself finds a good balance between accessibility and depth. That said, the single-player “adventure” mode doesn’t have much meat to it, and some characters are clearly more overpowered than others. The online multiplayer isn’t as geared to competitive play as the last Mario Tennis either. But if you’re looking for a new party game for the family, this is the first substantial discount we’ve tracked for the latest entry.

Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut for $25 ($25 off): There really isn’t anything like a Yakuza game: dense, deeply Japanese brawler-RPGs that are loaded with wild mini-games and alternate between serious crime drama and bonkers comedy on a whim. If you’ve never played one before, Yakuza 0 is an ideal starting point, as it serves as a prequel to the entire series. This port for the Switch 2 runs remarkably well and includes an English voiceover dub among other bonuses. This discount matches the best price we’ve tracked. Just note that it’s a “game-key card,” so the cartridge in the box lets you download the game digitally instead of holding the full game itself.

Capcom

The latest Resident Evil game is a celebration of gaming’s most famous horror series. Its first half, in which you mostly play as a trauma-ridden FBI analyst sneaking around zombies in a sanatorium, is particularly great, all suffocating tension and pervasive dread. The back half isn’t quite as cohesive, taking a hard turn into ridiculously over-the-top action, but it still offers some fun thrills, and the good outweighs the bad overall. This deal ties the best price we’ve seen for the PS5 and Xbox copies. The Switch 2 version, which runs surprisingly well, is a couple bucks cheaper at $53.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for $40 ($10 off): Last year’s consensus Game of the Year winner, Clair Obscur is a gorgeous turn-based RPG with combat that manages to feel dangerous and a daring story that examines the line between grief and escapism. This deal matches the best price we’ve tracked for the physical PS5 and Xbox versions.

Silent Hill f for $30 ($20 off): It can take a little bit to truly get going, but this Japan-set entry in the long-running Silent Hill series of psychological horror games offers a surprisingly layered story on top of tense combat and some unnerving scares. This is the largest discount we’ve tracked.

Konami

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is on the shortlist of the PlayStation 2’s greatest games, an engrossing stealth-action title with deep survival mechanics, all-timer boss fights and the kind of bombastic but heartfelt story series creator Hideo Kojima is known for. Delta is a full-scale remake that preserves the core of the original game but modernizes its graphics and control scheme. This deal ties the best price we’ve tracked.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for $20 ($50 off): Mario Kart World is more polished (and popular), but the latest Sonic kart racer is still a fine alternative with a higher sense of speed, more dynamic track designs, greater customization options and less overall restraint. This is the best price we’ve tracked for the PS5, Xbox and original Switch versions. The same goes for the Switch 2 version, though that one is only down to $40.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered for $29 ($21 off): This matches the best deal to date for the PS5 version of Sony’s emotionally charged stealth-action game. The Last of Us Part II is the polar opposite of a game like Astro Bot, at once brutal, dark and mentally draining to play. But it can be thrillingly tense, and it tells an affecting story about grief and forgiveness. The Remastered version adds a new roguelike survival mode and the expected technical upgrades.

PlayStation

While not the absolute lowest price we’ve seen, this is still a solid discount for PlayStation’s charming 3D platformer, which marries tight controls and a joyous mood with some of the most inventive level designs this side of Mario.

Super Mario Odyssey for $40 ($20 off): It’s close to a decade old, but Odyssey remains one of Nintendo’s essentials, a jubilant 3D platformer that controls perfectly and offers a relentless stream of creative ideas. It really should cost $20 at this point, but that’s just not how Nintendo rolls. Regardless, we’ve only seen it drop lower than this discount once since the holidays.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom for $40 ($20 off): Echoes of Wisdom makes a few daring changes to the usual Zelda formula, as it (finally) makes the titular princess the protagonist and blends the sort of freeform puzzle-solving of Tears of the Kingdom with the top-down perspective of earlier 2D entries in the series. This isn’t the largest discount we’ve tracked, but it’s the best price we’ve seen since Black Friday or so.

Pikmin 4 for $40 ($20 off): Pikmin 4 is an ideal starting point to Nintendo’s whimsical real-time strategy series, in which you command a small army of tiny plant-like creatures to explore areas, fight enemies and collect treasures. It’s loaded with stuff to do and generally easier than past entries for newcomers to pick up and play, though it may trend a bit too easy for series veterans. You do get a cute “space dog,” however. This matches the best deal we’ve seen over the last couple of years.

Nintendo

Originally released for the Wii in 2010, Donkey Kong Country Returns is one of Nintendo’s more underrated 2D platformers,a precise challenge with real physicality thanks to DK’s heavy, thudding movement. Its varied levels always take care to create a sense of place, while the soundtrack is still one of the best of its era. This deal isn’t the best we’ve seen, but it’s the game’s largest discount since last holiday season.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong for $30 ($20 off): This Switch remake of the Game Boy Advance puzzler Mario vs. Donkey Kong has the kind of polish and charm you’d expect from a first-party Nintendo game. While it never quite hits the highs of its all-timer predecessor — Donkey Kong for the Game Boy — its mini-challenges are thoughtfully constructed and do well to build on themselves over time. On top of its redone visuals, the remake adds an easier difficulty mode and a local co-op option. It’s a fairly short game, but this deal matches the best price we’ve tracked.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 for $40 ($20 off): The ghost-hunting adventure game Luigi’s Mansion 3 puts Mario’s scaredy-cat brother in the spotlight as he tries to rescue his friends from a haunted hotel. It doesn’t have the most precise controls and can get a bit repetitive by the end, but its Pixar-esque visuals, creative level designs and fun co-op help it do more good than bad. It’s a particularly nice choice for kids. This is another game we wish Nintendo would sell for less these days, but this $20 discount is about as cheap as it’s been this year.

It Takes Two for $20 ($20 off): It Takes Two is the spiritual predecessor to Split Fiction and another critically acclaimed 3D adventure that’s only playable in co-op. It’s not quite as action-heavy as its follow-up, which makes it a bit more accessible for anyone to pick up and play. Like Split Fiction, it constantly throws new ideas at the player. Also like that game, the writing can occasionally be obnoxious — this one’s about a soon-to-be-divorced couple who’ve become trapped in two of their daughter’s toy dolls — and some levels tend to drag. Still, there just aren’t many co-op games that are this fleshed out, and what’s here is more fun than not. This discount is only a few bucks off the best price to date for the Nintendo Switch version.

Samsung

If you want to add storage space to a Nintendo Switch 2, you need a microSD Express card. We have a whole buying guide for those, but the TL;DR version is that just about every card we’ve tested performs similarly within actual games, with the only major differences coming when you transfer games to or from the system’s storage. So much of the time, your best bet is to buy the least expensive card you can find in the capacity you want.

This option from Samsung went for much less before the ongoing storage crisis hit, but this price makes it just about the cheapest 256GB model we can find right now. It also comes from a reliable manufacturer, whereas a similarly-priced option like Walmart’s Onn card is a rebadged version of another model.

Nintendo Switch 2 Camera for $30 ($25 off): You don’t need Nintendo’s official USB camera to utilize the Switch 2’s GameChat video-calling feature — plenty of third-party webcams can work just as well and provide even better video quality. But if you don’t have a decent model handy, Nintendo’s cam is simple to set up and shouldn’t be an eyesore on your desk or TV stand. It puts out a basic 1080p image, but its roughly 110-degree viewing angle means it can keep a couchful of people in frame, plus it has a built-in privacy cover. That said, it’s pretty much useless unless you have the Switch 2 docked, while GameChat itself can still look choppy in motion. That makes the camera a harder sell at its usual going rate, but it should be more palatable at this discounted price, which matches the best we’ve tracked.

Turtle Beach Stealth 500 gaming headset for $70 ($20 off): The Stealth 500 is the budget pick in our guide to the best gaming headsets. Its plastic design and bright sound profile clearly fall short of our top recommendations, but it lasts a good 40-ish hours on a charge, its built-in mic is perfectly serviceable and the whole thing is light and comfortable to wear for hours at a time. When it’s discounted to this extent, it’s a fine enough value for those who need a mic and can’t spend more than $100. The model linked above will work on PlayStation 5 and PC; an Xbox version is available for the same price.

Logitech G

While they’re not a formal pick in our gaming headset guide, the Astro A50 X is another pair we like for those who game across multiple consoles and a PC. That’s mainly due to its included base station, which works as an HDMI switcher and lets you swap between each of those platforms with the press of a button. It has a fantastic microphone beyond that, plus it’s one of the better-sounding headsets we’ve tested. This isn’t the best deal we’ve ever seen, but it’s a good drop from the pair’s usual street price.

Razer BlackShark V3 Pro wireless gaming headset for $171 ($80 off): The BlackShark V3 Pro doesn’t sound as spacious or accurate as the top picks in our gaming headset guide, but its V-shaped sound gives in-game explosions a nice sense of impact, it comes with a decent ANC mode and its mic does well to keep your voice sounding natural. It’s also highly comfortable, with soft padding on the ear cups and a light clamp around your head. This discount ranks among the lowest prices we’ve seen in the past year; just note that the model linked here works with PS5 and PC.

Razer

It’s a generation old, but the Viper V3 Pro is still an excellent buy for PC gamers in search of a high-performance mouse with a symmetrical shape. It tracks flawlessly in competitive-style games, it’s superlight (54 grams) without having any unsightly holes in its outer shell, and its sturdy design can accommodate a wide variety of hand sizes and grip types.

The $160 Viper V4 Pro is 5g lighter and has a much higher battery life rating — up to 180 hours instead of 95 hours — alongside other internal upgrades, but its optical switches also make clicks sound noticeably louder and sharper. We’d argue the older model is a better value with this discount, which is the largest we’ve seen, even if it’s not outright cheap.

Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless SE wireless MMO gaming mouse for $70 ($70 off): At this price, the Scimitar Elite Wireless SE is a solid value for PC gamers who want a mouse for MMO and MOBA games. It’s far from the lightest mouse around, but it’s built well enough, it tracks well and its gently rounded shape should fit most hand sizes well. Most importantly, it comes with 12 programmable side buttons, which makes it easier to quickly pull off different “hotbar” commands in games like Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft. This discount ties the best price we’ve tracked.

If you don’t need to go wireless, Corsair’s Scimitar RGB Elite offers a similar shape and button layout in a wired form factor, albeit with less durable mechanical switches instead of the SE’s optical ones. That mouse is also around the best price we’ve seen at $47.

GameSir G8 Plus mobile gamepad for $56 ($24 off): A pick from our guide to the best iPhone accessories, the G8 Plus is a comfy controller that wraps around your smartphone and gives you a more natural way to play console-style games and game streaming services. All its buttons and joysticks are well-sized for this type of device, and it can hold any size phone securely without forcing you to remove your case. This is the lowest price we’ve seen in 2026 for the model that connects over Bluetooth (and thus requires recharging) — if you’d rather have a direct connection, a USB-C variant is also on sale for $64.

8Bitdo

The 8BitDo Pro 3 is a solid alternative to Nintendo’s Switch 2 Pro Controller with a tight d-pad, comfy grips, firm (if slightly clicky) face buttons and a fun retro aesthetic that looks like a cross between the Super NES’ and PS5’s gamepads. It works on PCs and mobile devices in addition to Nintendo’s consoles, and it’s loaded with extra features, from trigger locks and an included charging dock to magnetic TMR joysticks that should avoid drifting over time. This deal isn’t the absolute lowest price we’ve seen, but it’s still cheaper than the controller’s usual discount price. Just note that there’s no headphone jack, and it makes you do a goofy “shake” motion to wake the Switch 2 from sleep mode.

8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller for $41 ($19 off): 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 controller has most of the same features as the Pro 3 — drift-resistant joysticks, trigger locks, a dedicated charging dock, extra customizable buttons, a useful companion app — only it comes in an Xbox-style shape with offset joysticks. It may feel a touch too small for those with large hands, but many folks prefer this kind of design for first-person shooters and other modern games. (It also has a higher polling rate, though that probably won’t matter unless you’re super into competitive-minded games.)

This is the best deal we’ve tracked for the Windows version. Just be aware that 8BitDo sells a separate model called the “Ultimate 2 Bluetooth” that’s designed to work with Switch consoles and has a Nintendo-style button layout — that one is also cheaper than usual at $51.

tomtoc

A recommendation from our guide to the best Switch 2 accessories, this slim yet sturdy case from Tomtoc does well to protect Nintendo’s console without adding too much bulk in a travel bag. It uses a soft, felt-like material on the inside and has a small cushion at the top to keep the device in place without putting excessive pressure on the Switch 2’s trigger and bumper buttons. It can also store up to 12 game cartridges. This deal beats the previous best price we’ve seen by a dollar.

Sony Inzone KBD-H75 wired gaming keyboard for $228 ($72 off): The Inzone KBD-H75 ticks just about all the boxes for a high-quality gaming keyboard. Its magnetic switches are satisfying and relatively quiet for typing; they also let you customize their sensitivity, so you can make presses extra quick for competitive-style games. The design as a whole is sturdy and compact, with crisp keycaps, an aluminum frame, tasteful RGB backlighting and a dedicated volume knob. Sony’s companion software is simple enough to get around as well. The only major issue is that it’s expensive for a keyboard that isn’t wireless. This discount doesn’t totally change that, but it does mark the lowest price we’ve tracked, so it makes the cost at least a little more palatable.

SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Wireless (Gen 3) gaming keyboard for $218 ($82 off): The Apex Pro TKL has most of the bells and whistles expected from a modern gaming keyboard. Namely, its magnetic Hall effect switches let you customize each key’s actuation point — i.e., the point at which a keystroke is registered by your computer — so you can make them more responsive in faster-paced games or give them a more deliberate feel if you’re just typing. It also enables a “rapid trigger” feature that lets you repeat inputs faster, which is good for strafing side-to-side more quickly in shooting games.

The actual keyboard part is above-average as well: Keystrokes feel smooth and create a pleasant thock sound that isn’t overly loud, the keycaps avoid grime, the deck is sturdy and the RGB lighting is clean. That said, SteelSeries’ software can still feel a bit clunky, the 40-ish hour battery life isn’t especially long, and the whole thing is fairly pricey even with this discount. Something like Sony’s Inzone KBD-H75 still feels more premium, but if you want to go wireless, this is a fine alternative. This deal marks the lowest price we’ve seen for the tenkeyless model in nearly a year.

Thrustmaster

If you’re into racing games like Gran Turismo or the F1 series and you’re ready to step up from a gamepad to a full-fledged wheel, the Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition is a great first buy. It’s not the newest or the most advanced model out there, but its belt-driven setup still delivers smooth, nuanced and reasonably quiet force feedback, without the roughness you might feel from cheaper gear-driven wheels like Logitech’s G923. The pedals are neither too stiff nor too loose, plus it comes with a clutch pedal alongside the usual gas and brake.

It’s not perfect: It can get a bit hot with sustained use, it takes a little effort to setup, and a good direct-drive wheel will still feel more realistic to hardcore sim racers. But for more moderate racing game enthusiasts who mainly play on consoles, the T300RS is a much better value at this price than its usual going rate. (It’s also my personal racing wheel, for whatever that’s worth.) This is the largest discount we’ve seen in a couple of years. Note that the wheel is compatible with PlayStation consoles and PC, but not Xbox.
