We’re on the second day of October Prime Days, and there are discounts across pretty much every product category—including games, consoles, and accessories for the dedicated gamer. If you’ve been planning to invest more in your games or your gaming hardware, now’s a good time to do it.

In the lists below I’ve picked out games, gaming consoles, and gaming accessories (like controllers) that you can save on right now. No matter what type of gamer you are, or what kind of gaming setup you’ve got, you should find something of interest.

Prime Day games

PS5 EA Sports College Football 25 ($42.99, was $69.99): This is the latest (and greatest?) in college football gaming from EA, with immersive CampusIQ-powered gameplay, loads of atmosphere, and finely tuned wear and tear mechanics for a more realistic experience.

Xbox Series X/S Madden NFL 25 ($42.99, was $69.99): The gaming discounts extend to the Madden franchise and the Xbox platform too, as you can currently get nearly 40 percent off the latest release in the series, with new physics and new mechanics.

Switch Super Smash Bros Ultimate ($53.18, was $59.99): There’s more than 10 percent off this incredibly engaging entry in the Mario Bros series on the Nintendo Switch, so it’s worth picking it up if you haven’t already—with hours of fun gameplay guaranteed.

PS5 Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol.1 ($18.98, was $39.99): This is a must for fans of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, because you get a pack of games, videos, digital books and soundtracks for your PS5, and all currently for less than half the original price.

Xbox Halo Infinite ($49.79, was $59.99): This is a substantial discount on one of the most iconic titles currently available on the Xbox platform. There’s a lot of bonus content to enjoy here, beyond the central missions of the Master Chief.

Switch Minecraft ($37.95, was $45.00): Get a copy of the biggest-selling video game of all time on your portable Nintendo Switch, with this 16 percent discount. The game itself needs no introduction, and it works perfectly on the Switch form factor.

Prime Day consoles

Sony PlayStation 5 Slim ($449.00, was $499.99): Prices are tumbling across consoles this Prime Day, with 10 percent off the PS5 Slim. You get one controller and a 1TB SSD storage drive included in the price.

Microsoft Xbox Series S ($284.99, was $299.99): If you’re more into Microsoft consoles, here’s the Xbox Series S, which is now reduced in its 512GB form. You could easily argue that it’s a better value for the money than the more expensive Series X.

Renewed Nintendo Switch OLED ($299.99, was $340.00): Price reductions on the Nintendo Switch are usually very rare, but there’s more than $40 off this nearly-new version of the OLED Switch.
