I've hand-picked my favorite Amazon Prime Day deals for gamers – all the best PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox bargains in one place

Gaming deals that are actually worth the money

Prime Day gaming deals 2025

As sure as night follows day, July brings with it the Amazon Prime Day gaming deals - and that's exactly what we're swimming in right now.

I've been covering them for years, and am well versed in where to look to find the best gaming deals, but also, importantly, what actually makes a great Prime Day gaming deal. After all, we see loads of discounts at this time of year, but that doesn't automatically make them worth your hard-earned cash.

This year we've got four whole days of the, well, 'Day', so I'm more hopeful that we'll see soem cracking discounts, and also more grateful for all of us to have more time to make up our minds before committing. Plus, it gives extra time for more deals to hopefully come out of the woodwork...

See all of today's deals at Amazon

Scroll down for the best quick links to get to where you need or want to be, our top picks for deals across the major platforms, and our rolling live coverage where we'll be picking out the best discounts and sales, and highlighting awesome deals on our favorite gear.

Thrustmaster eswap X2: was $179.99 now $154.99 at Amazon

This is probably my favorite Xbox controller, personally. Its modular design is brilliant and enables me to use it in a symmetrical layout, while the overall quality here is superb. An updated version of the eswap X Pro, this isn't a record low but still a tidy saving on a premium wired gaming controller for Xbox and PC.

UK price: £169.39 at Amazon (Elden Ring edition)

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X : was $149.99 now $104.99 at Amazon

Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card (1TB)
Seagate Xbox Storage Expansion Card (1TB): was $159.99 now $123.49 at Amazon

Hyperkin Duke wired controller: was $89.99 now $57.70 at Amazon

The ASUS Rog Ally is nearly the cheapest it's ever been

Asus ROG Ally deal for Prime Day

(Image credit: Future)

Interested in a handheld PC? Then you should take a look at this ASUS Rog Ally bargain. The powerful system is currently hovering just 99p above its lowest-ever price at Amazon in the UK, which is an absolutely mega saving.

Thanks to AMD's powerful Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, you'll be able to enjoy a wide range of triple-A games at a 1920x1080 resolution on the crisp 7-inch 120Hz refresh rate screen.

In our testing, it achieved an impressive 60 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 after some graphical tweaking, with even better performance for those willing to make use of frame generation.

UK - ASUS ROG Ally: was £518.42 now £399.99 at Amazon

Stalker 2 crashes down to a new record-low on Xbox

Stalker 2

The well-received Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl has crashed down to a record low price for Prime Day. Right now the Xbox version can be yours for a whopping $36.59 off - beating the previous record low by a considerable margin.

This post-apocalyptic survival adventure won't be for everyone, but fans of atmospheric and haunting experiences will absolutely love it.

It features intense, realistic survival mechanics and a grounded world that's brought to life by modern high-end graphics.

US - Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl: was $59.99 now $23.40 at Amazon

The best mobile controller out there, at the best possible price

A lowest-ever price on the Razer Kishi Ultra.

(Image credit: Razer / Future)

Don't sleep on this incredible Razer Kishi Ultra discount. In my book it's by far the best mobile controller on the market, as long as you don't mind splashing out a bit.

It offers an unbeatable level of comfort thanks to its full-size controller grips and offers no shortage of premium features. You get USB-C passthrough charging, full-size thumbsticks, Hall effect triggers, mechanical buttons and a clicky D-pad, and even some customizable RGB lighting strips.

Where this mobile controller really leaves the competition in the dust though is its software, which is packed with useful additions including the ability to mimic on-screen commands with buttons to enable compatibility in titles that don't natively support a controller. It's an absolute game-changer for things like League of Legends Wild Rift.

US - Razer Kishi Ultra: was $149.99 now $99.99 at Amazon

Our first real PlayStation Portal deal?

Now this is a bit of a shocker: the PlayStation Portal has received a 10% discount in the UK. That might not sound like much, but it takes it down to a new lowest-ever price and is by far the best PS Portal deal that I've seen yet.

The streaming handheld is a popular choice for PS5 owners, letting you play games straight from your console via the internet. It's not quite a PSP replacement, but it can come in clutch when you need to free up the TV for someone else.

Its design is excellent too, effectively offering two sides of a DualSense Wireless Controller sandwiched around a screen with all the expected features like rumble, adaptive triggers, and more.

Best of all, you don't even need to be a Prime member for this offer!

UK - PlayStation Portal: was £199.99 now £179 at Amazon

Nab a special edition game at a special price

Horizon Forbidden West

(Image credit: Sony / Guerrilla)

This is a US deal that I'm really jealous of.

The Special Edition version of the superb Horizon Forbidden West has dropped to its lowest-ever price and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in trying the popular PlayStation series.

Set in a futuristic open-world in which you have to survive against vicious, animal-like machines, it's ideal if you're craving a big, meaty experience that will keep you occupied for weeks.

Although this is a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, no knowledge of that prior game is required to enjoy it. The Special Edition also nets you a SteelBook, mini art book, and a digital soundtrack to enjoy.

US - Horizon Forbidden West Special Edition: was $79.99 now $39.99 at Amazon

Another budget headset bargain

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1

(Image credit: SteelSeries)

I've spotted another budget-friendly headset in the Prime Day sales, this time the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 - which is down to a new lowest-ever price!

Compatible with PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, it offers plenty of adjustability and a retractable noise-cancelling microphone.

Although nothing special the sound is decent for the price. Where this headset really wins, however, is in its comfortable ski-band head strap design and plush ear cushions.

UK - SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1: was £59.99 now £31.34 at Amazon

Streaming doesn't have to be expensive

The HyperX SoloCast on a green background featuring the words 'lowest price'.

Getting into the world doesn't have to be expensive - just look at this affordable microphone from HyperX. The HyperX SoloCast is currently on sale for a lowest-ever price in the UK, with a whopping 30% off.

It's rare to see items from trusted brands like this at such low prices. The main reasons to pick the SoloCast is its ease-of-use: this is a simple, plug-and-play microphone that delivers impressive sound right out of the box.

The tap-to-mute sensor and adjustable stand are also great inclusions at the price range and make recording or even just chatting with friends a breeze.

UK - HyperX SoloCast: was £36.89 now £25.64 at Amazon

Grab our favorite VR headset at its lowest-ever price

The Meta Quest 3S on a red background with text saying Big Savings.

(Image credit: Future)

We consider the Meta Quest 3S to be one of the very best VR headsets on the market, scoring five stars in our review, where we called it "the only VR headset you need" whether you're completely new to VR or an experienced headset owner.

It strikes the perfect balance between performance, practicality, and price. Over Amazon Prime Day, that price tag has got even more tempting, however, with a record discount available right now.

In you've been waiting for the chance to dive into the world of VR gaming, you shouldn't pass on this.

US - Meta Quest 3S: was $299.99 now $249 at Amazon

UK - Meta Quest 3S: was £289 now £237.99 at Amazon

Peel-tastic protection for your Switch

If you're still using your Nintendo Switch and want to get a little bit Peely with it, then accessory maker PowerA has you covered. This neon yellow carrying case is based on the iconic Fortnite character and even comes with a code for an in-game item.

It fits the original Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch OLED, and Nintendo Switch Lite, with built-in storage space for games, small accessories, and even a little padded stand.

The current offer is also the lowest price that this model has ever been, though only a few cents.

US - PowerA Protection Case for Nintendo Switch (Fortnite Peely): was $22.99 now $12.29 at Amazon

Grab a throwback console at an incredible price!

Atari 7800+

(Image credit: Future)

Right now you can grab the Atari 7800+ at an absolutely incredible 54% off - taking it down to just under $60 at Amazon.

For that price you get a fully-featured retro-style games console, plus a controller and an original game cartridge for Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest.

On top of this, the console supports original Atari 2600 or 7800 game cartridges, so it could be perfect if you want to grow your own retro collection or have some old games lying around.

US - Atari 7800+: was $129.99 now $59.99 at Amazon

Hey everyone! Dash again, back to take over. I'm currently scanning the web for the latest gaming deals, so bear with me for a few moments as I hand-pick the very best ones to share...

A bargain for banishing Switch stick drift

Nitro Deck deals

(Image credit: Future)

If, like me, you were an early Nintendo Switch adopter, you might find your console is getting a little long in the tooth. But if you''re not ready to upgrade to the Switch 2 just yet, you're in luck: one of the best accessories released for the Switch Gen 1 is now available at its lowest ever price.

The Nitro Deck is the perfect way to give your handheld a bit of an update. Slot your screen inside it and it'll give you more ergonomic grip and protect your Switch from knocks. But its biggest benefit is it will banish that annoying stick drift with its Hall effect thumbsticks – something I've experienced more times than I'd like the recall.

As a gamer of a certain age, I have very fond memories of my GameCube so I particularly love the purple Nitro Deck on offer here, although both the gray and mint colorways are also on offer.

US - CRKD Nitro Deck: was $79.99 now $47.99 at Amazon

UK - CRKD Nitro Deck: was £59.99 now £47.49 at Amazon

A truly wild deal on a fantastic PS5 game

Planet Zoo on the PS5 in front of a red background that features the word 'lowest price'.

(Image credit: Frontier)

Another bargain PS5 game now and one that's at its lowest price ever in the UK – and not far off in the US. A spiritual successor to the Zoo Tycoon series, Planet Zoo puts you in charge of your own menagerie, allowing you to handcraft your own exquisite animal exhibits filled with everything from Aldabra giant tortoises to western lowland gorillas.

Confession time. I'm an enormous PlanZoo addict: I've racked up a truly disgusting 1,200 hours in the game and have no intention of stopping any time soon. Part of what makes the game worth investing your money – and an enormous amount of time – in its the creative freedom it gives you. If you love being able to obsess over details to create your dream zoo, it's a really rewarding experience.

It's already offers a huge amount of playtime for a pretty modest spend. And with this deal, that value gets even harder to ignore.

US - Planet Zoo (PS5): was $49.99 now $34.99 at Amazon

UK - Planet Zoo (PS5): was £39.99 now £19.94 at Amazon

Hi there! Josh here, now taking over the live blogging to give Dash a quick break.

I've been working behind the scenes all Prime Day writing up deals so I'll be bringing you some of my favorite options from across the sales over the coming hour.

So without any further ado...

A headset that's perfect for younger gamers

The HyperX Cloud Mini Kids in front of a blue background featuring the words 'lowest price'.

(Image credit: HyperX)

Okay, this is a bit of a weird one but might be worth checking out if you're using Prime Day as a chance to stock on gifts. Gaming brand HyperX makes a mini headset designed specifically for kids, and it's currently on sale for its lowest-ever price.

I had the chance to try it out at Gamescom last year and, while it absolutely didn't fit on my massive gamer head I can attest to its durability. The headset is seriously flexible and didn't so much as creak when I tried my hardest to snap it into pieces in front of the horrified PR representative.

Its hard-wearing materials aside, the headset is compatible with all major platforms thanks to the 3.5mm headphone jack and comes in a range of attractive colorways.

US - HyperX Cloud Mini Kids: was $29.99 now $19.99 at Amazon

Grab a beloved PS5 game at its lowest-ever price

A screenshot of the protagonists from Split Fiction

(Image credit: Hazelight Studios)

The critically acclaimed Split Fiction has received a massive lowest-ever Prime Day discount and should be in your basket! The co-op action-adventure game came out back in March, so a deal this generous is a real surprise.

It received the full five out of five stars from us here at TechRadar Gaming, which is very rare indeed. We loved its innovative mechanics and the seemingly endless variety of different playstyles crammed into the game. It's also visually stunning, pulling off both sci-fi and fantasy settings with impressive fidelity.

Just bear in mind that this is a co-op only game before you buy - you can't play it solo in any capacity. Luckily, each copy comes with a handy 'Friend's Pass', which allows you to play with a buddy who doesn't own it at no additional cost

US - Split Fiction (PS5): was $49.99 now $35 at Amazon

UK - Split Fiction (PS5): was £44.99 now £30.99 at Amazon

Backbone deals are back!

Big savings on the Backbone One PlayStation Edition.

(Image credit: Future / Backbone)

Time for one of my personal Prime Day favorites! Every year we see massive discounts on the fantastic Backbone One mobile controller and the ongoing sale is no exception.

If you're after a versatile mobile gamepad, then I would highly recommend it. It's a fantastic all-rounder and the perfect companion if you're planning some travel and need something to keep you entertained in a pinch.

Right now the best price is on the PlayStation Edition, which comes in an attractive white colorway and has DualSense Wireless Controller themed buttons.

US - Backbone One, Playstation Edition: was $99.99 now $69.99 at Amazon

UK - Backbone One, Playstation Edition: was £60 now £40 at Amazon

A discount with Heart

A price cut on the Thrustmaster Heart.

(Image credit: Thrustmaster / Future)

Another wired Xbox controller deal here with the Thrustmaster Heart. This unique-looking controller is named after its H.E.A.R.T. anti-drift thumbsticks, which incorporates Hall effect technology for enhanced durability and precision.

On top of this, it features two remappable rear buttons, mechanical face buttons, and even a customizable RGB lighting strip right down the middle of the pad.

It's currently the lowest-ever price it's been in the UK with a £28.25 discount for Prime Day!

UK - Thrustmaster Heart Controller: was £89.99 now £61.74 at Amazon

Grab a premium headset at a budget price

(Image credit: Razer/Future)

The Razer Blackshark V2 X is a fantastic gaming headset that comes personally recommended by our Hardware Editor Rhys Wood. It's the headset that he uses every day, as it offers the perfect balance of audio quality, microphone performance, attractive design, and affordability.

Right now it's just a few bucks off its lowest-ever price and is a fantastic pick if you're looking for a capable gaming audio device that isn't going to completely empty your wallet - leaving you with some left over cash to spend on even more Prime Day gaming deals!

US - Razer BlackShark V2 X: was $59.99 now $36.08 at Amazon

Play like a Call of Duty pro

Prime Day Scuf Valor Pro deal.

(Image credit: Scuf / Future)

The Scuf Valor Pro is an excellent controller from a seriously well-regarded brand. It boasts a number of features that make it a perfect fit for Call of Duty games, including adjustable triggers, remappable rear inputs, and in-built audio controls.

This is a wired-only model, which might be a shame for some, but comes in at a more affordable price than other Scuf products. At the moment, it's even been discounted down to lowest-ever rate for Prime Day.

US - Scuf Valor Pro: was $109.99 now $85.49 at Amazon

Hello gamers! Dash here to take things over on the live coverage front. I've been trawling the sale for the last few days, so have plenty of bargains to share with you. Sit back, relax, and get ready for some deals.

I'm going to start off strong with a personal pick...

Handing over to my esteemed colleague

Right, I'm actually stepping away from our live coverage for a bit now leaving you in the capable hands of my gamer colleague Dash.

I will be here again tomorrow though, so until then, happy deal hunting!

Old reliable

Xbox Wireless Controller deals

(Image credit: Future)

There's never a bad time to get another controller into your setup as a spare or just to grow or fill out your collection stylishly. As a result, the discounts this Prime Day on Xbox Wireless Controllers are both easy to recommend and worth investing in if you're on the hunt for a new pad.

Upgrade your audio - but in a different way

The Creative Sound Blaster G6 sound card on a green background with price cut text

(Image credit: Future/Creative)

Speaking of adding things to existing setups that make things better, this is something I've recently added to my PS5 Pro setup and have been seriously impressed by: the Creative Sound BlasterX G6 USB sound card.

Traditionally, I've always been a wireless-only kind of guy for my setup, but since testing this out and going back to a wired headset for a bit with it, I'm not sure if I can game any other way now.

The sound difference and quality the G6 has given me on PS5 is exquisite and has made the audio of Death Stranding something almost otherworldly.

What's more, it's now down to a record low price in the UK and a heavily discounted price in the US. Nice.

US – Creative Sound BlasterX G6: was $179.99 now $139.99 at Amazon

Make your OG Switch shine

mClassic deal

(Image credit: Future)

To take a small diversion from my own personal gaming picks, this one is an absolute belter if you're on Nintendo Switch - especially in the face of Switch 2 stock being hard to find.

If you've ever wanted your OG Switch to perform and look a bit better on the big screen, then this is the device you should invest in: the mClassic upscaler.

It'll take your low resolution images and bump them up while simultaneously polishing them right up. Simple but very effective.

Or a headset for honor - especially if you're on Xbox

However, if you prefer a headset, then let me direct you to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X which is currently enjoying brillianlty low prices on both sides of the Atlantic.

This is one of the best value, and best overall packages of a headset that I can remember testing, and given the superb audio quiality and limitless compatibiltiy of the Nova 5X, this is a no brainer for anyone looking for a headset this Prime Day.

The first deal I want to highlight is on one of my most favorite bits of gaming gear of the past couple of years.

Simply put, the SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds are the best gaming earbuds money can buy in my view, and now that they've reached historic low prices as part of the Amazon Prime Day gaming deals, there's literally never been a better time to pick them up.

No matter your platform, if you're after some buds, these are the ones to go for.

US – SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds (Black; Xbox): was $199.99 now £147.99 at Amazon

UK – SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds (Black; Xbox): was £159.99 now £118.74 at Amazon

These are going to be on some of my favorite games that I've played and bits of gear that I've tested - a theme of our overall approach here as my colleagues will be doing the same.

We will absolutely still be highlighting discounts and deals more broadly though - there's so much good stuff out there, after all!
