There are some some sizable discounts on new and recent hits from the last few years for the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series X / S for Prime Day. Most Amazon game deals are physical copies, but every so often there’s a better or equivalent price on digital versions, as well as some matched deals at Best Buy.
In addition to game deals, we’re also on the hunt for discounted gaming accessories. This is usually a pretty good time to save what you can on things like gaming headsets, controllers, gaming mice, etc. While it’s a good time to get a microSD Express card for your Switch 2, don’t bank on any big discounts on SSDs for your PS5. Woof, those are expensive now. Thanks, RAMageddon.
