Amazon Prime Day: The best gaming discounts of the year officially start in 3 days
Massive discounts are coming with Amazon Prime day, which is joined by sales from Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and more.
Get ready for a massive wave of gaming sales. Amazon Prime Day is almost here, and it is bringing a host of major retail competitors along for the ride.
The short version
- Prime Day runs from June 23 (3 a.m. ET) to June 27 (2:59 a.m. ET).
- Expect up to 45% off headphones and 35% off Nintendo, Xbox, and Logitech gear.
- Competing sales are launching at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Steam.
What happened
Amazon Prime Day kicks off June 23, featuring steep sitewide discounts and time-limited "Lightning Deals." Other retailers are launching overlapping events: Best Buy’s Tech Fest and Walmart Deals run June 22–28, while Target Circle Deal Days run June 23–26. Additionally, the annual Steam Summer Sale for software will take place from June 25 to July 9.
Why it matters
This is a strategic window to snag recently released games and hardware before the Summer Game Fest. Notably, the Nintendo Switch 2 is currently available for $449.99, but prices are scheduled to increase to $499.99 on September 1. While the console itself may not see deep discounts, this is an ideal time to pick up accessories, SD cards, and software.
