These are the best gaming deals for Amazon Prime Day 2025: PS5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox

Amazon Amazon Prime EA SPORTS Prime Xbox Nintendo Amazon Prime Day PlayStation

When it comes to gaming, newness is important.

Everyone wants the newest console. The latest games. The accessories which take the whole experience to the next level. But, there’s a catch. When you’re always updating your kit, it becomes a pretty expensive hobby.

So that’s why you should take advantage of the Amazon Prime Day sale to do your shopping. When the retailer’s sales event hits, there are discounts across all the top categories – PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo, included.

There’s not always huge discounts on the brand new consoles since they’re the hottest purchases going, but you can usually bag up to 10 per cent off which can be a pretty hefty sum when the RRP is in the hundreds. Right now there’s discounts across all three – but more on that below.

But where the sales get really juicy is the extras. The games. The controllers. The headphones. The stands. All the things you always want but never buy because they seem a bit too expensive.

This year we’ve been treated to four full days of discounts which started on Tuesday, July 8 and end at midnight on Friday, July 11. The really good deals often get snapped up quick,ly so if you spot anything which takes your fancy, we’d suggest checking out so you secure whatever’s on your wishlist.

All you need to do is have a Prime account to shop the deals, which are across all categories on the website, from electronics to Amazon devices, mobile phones to laptops.

If you’re a newbie, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial. If you’re not, it’s £8.99 a month or £95 for the year – which you could easily make back on a few purchases alone.

So, now’s your chance to give your gaming set-up a glow-up with our list of the best deals available to buy now below.

Meta Quest 3

Best for: Joining the mind-blowing metaverse

No, not a PS5 and now an Xbox Series X, but rather the very latest entry point into the world of VR gaming, the Meta Quest 3; and what an entry point it is too as having been hands-on and head-in with the device, I can quite honestly and emphatically say that I’m a complete and utter convert.

Currently costing about the same as the console twins, what you get in the box is the headset with the standard pre-installed facial interface, 2x Touch Plus controllers and power gubbins, so all quite simple and straightforward. Then you download the Meta Quest app on your phone, install some apps, slip on the headset and slip seamlessly into the virtual world.

Using mixed reality, you can let the Quest 3 measure and map the movable space within the room or do it manually, then bring up the virtual control panel to select games, TV streaming channels or, well, all manner of marvellous things to get started. Naturally, I waded straight in with some battle royales.

Games cost anything from free to around £30 for heavy hitters like Resident Evil and The Walking Dead, or up to £45 for stunning new stuff like Asgard’s Wrath 2. All of which are – and I can’t stress this enough – utterly thrilling to play.

With an adjustable head-strap, it’s simple to find a comfortable fit, and the ergonomic controls are intuitive to use.

While I’ll never abandon console or PC play, the Meta Quest 3 has dazzled me and thoroughly turned my head with its truly immersive play, sucking me in with its irresistible succubus charms.

Finally, I should probably mention that, yes, you can do much more than just play games with the Meta Quest 3, with other equally amazing work and entertainment options available.

Best Nintendo Switch Deals

Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) - Neon Blue/Neon Red

The Nintendo Switch OLED refines the hybrid console experience with a stunning 7-inch OLED display, delivering deeper contrast, richer colours, and improved brightness compared to the original LCD model. The upgraded screen makes handheld gaming more immersive, whether you’re exploring Hyrule, racing through Rainbow Road, or battling in Splatoon 3.

Internally, the OLED model maintains the same custom NVIDIA Tegra X1 chipset as its predecessor, ensuring compatibility with the entire Switch library. However, it doubles the internal storage to 64GB, allowing for more games to be stored without immediate reliance on a microSD card. The redesigned dock now includes a wired LAN port for more stable online play, perfect for competitive gaming. Battery life remains between 4.5 and 9 hours, depending on the title and settings.

Physical refinements include a sturdier, full-width adjustable kickstand, making tabletop mode far more practical for multiplayer sessions. The onboard speakers have also been enhanced for clearer audio. Whether docked at home or taken on the move, the Nintendo Switch OLED offers the best handheld experience yet, making it the ultimate choice for players who want a superior display without sacrificing portability.
