Amazon Gaming Week (opens in new tab) has just kicked off, so whether you’re looking to buy anything from a virtual reality headset to a new PS5 game, chances are you could get a good deal from Amazon at the moment.

You might’ve heard that Oculus (now officially Meta) recently upped the price of its popular Quest 2 headset, but if you didn’t have a chance to pick it up at its lower price you can now nab a AU$50 credit from Amazon (opens in new tab) when you buy it from the retailer (plus a free copy of Beat Saber to sweeten the deal).

For both PS5 and Xbox, The Quarry currently has its price slashed for Amazon’s sale. There’s more to summer camp than just hiking and watersports in this excellent game from developer Supermassive Games that we highly recommend checking out. 

Amazon hasn’t forgotten about PC users either – if you’re in need of new gear to enhance your gaming experience, there are big savings on Dell gaming laptops, Alienware curved monitors, Razer microphones and more to be found across the site.

Meta Quest 2 (128GB) (opens in new tab)

Meta Quest 2 (128GB) | get AU$50 Amazon credit + free Beat Saber when you buy Meta Quest 2 (opens in new tab) (from AU$630)

While Amazon isn’t offering an actual discount on this VR headset, it is throwing in a AU$50 credit to spend on Amazon for a future purchase, as well as the game Beat Saber completely free (valued at AU$44.95). The Meta Quest 2 (formerly the Oculus Quest 2), is an all-in-one set without wires that we’ve found to be lightweight, comfortable and incredibly immersive. Please note, offer does not apply to Meta Quest 2 bundles.
