When is Amazon Prime Day 2025?
This year, Amazon's annual Prime Day event will start on July 8 and run through the 11th. Other retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Newegg will be running competing sales around the same time, letting you shop around for the best discounts on games and gear.
Are PlayStation 5 consoles, accessories, and games really cheaper on Prime Day?
While you might be hoping for a hefty discount on a PlayStation 5 console or console bundle, those are usually only seen around Black Friday and holiday shopping sales events. However, Amazon and other retailers like Best Buy and GameStop will certainly offer a plethora of markdowns on both official and third-party accessories like wireless headsets, charging stations, and solid-state drives for expanding your PS5's internal storage during July sales.
If you keep a sharp eye out, you might catch a small sale on a PS5 console that's bundled with a popular title like Astro Bot, NBA 2K25, or one of the umpteen Call of Duty entries. But don't expect anything drastic, as most average about $50 off. If you're looking for a better deal and don't mind it not being new-in-box, you can always check to see if retailers have any refurbished PlayStation 5 consoles in stock. These are often sold at lower prices anyway, but are more likely to also go on sale to help clear inventory space for factory-new units.
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
Not all gaming sales are created equal, and not every retailer will offer markdowns on things like PlayStation 5 consoles or console bundles. But many will offer steep markdowns on accessories like controllers and headsets as well as a variety of game titles. So I chose the steepest discounts on the most popular and trusted names in console gaming like Razer and HyperX as well as on titles you've actually heard of and want to play to help you revamp your gaming setup and snag a few new games without breaking the bank.
