We’re now into the third round of 2025’s Amazon Prime Day deals and I know what you’re thinking. Surely there can’t still be sales running?
There absolutely are, this year’s event takes place across a full four days and I’ve been here since the beginning, rounding up all the biggest discounts across PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC games and gadgets. There aren’t just any old bargain bucket price cuts, though. Amazon is notorious for marking up prices only to ‘drop’ them again on Prime Day.
That’s why I’m making sure that every Prime Day deal I post here is either at or near a record low. Not only that, but the GamesRadar+ Hardware team has extensively tested and reviewed hundreds of the very gizmos on sale right now. That means I’m hand-picking the tech that we actually recommend.
I’ve scrubbed through the entire roster of 2025’s Prime Day deals for gamers this week, and found the top 20 discounts you need to know about right now. These are the best gadgets we’ve tested at their lowest prices possible – that’s a recipe for a bargain.

I’ve been tracking the best Prime Day deals for gamers for five years now, starting out as a dedicated Deals Editor at our sister site TechRadar, before joining the ranks here at GamesRadar three years ago. Since then, I’ve been hands on with the latest and greatest releases from the brands you need to know about this week, while tracking their prices day in, day out.
That means I know a good deal when I spot one (and where to go to find them), but I’ve also personally tested a massive range of the tech on offer this week. I’ll steer you clear of the products (and prices) to avoid all the way through this year’s massive four-day Prime event.

How I find the best Prime Day deals
Finding the best Prime Day deals for gamers starts with choosing the right products in the first place. Everything featured in my top list has undergone extensive testing by the GamesRadar+ team, from controller stress-tests to headset sound checks. We live, work, and play with every product we review for a minimum of two weeks before making our recommendations, and well beyond that timeframe after each review is published.
That means we don’t test each item in a clinical lab environment – we use these gizmos exactly as you will, so that you know exactly what the experience is going to be like. Only the games and hardware offering the highest quality performance, widest feature set, and absolute best value for money are listed in this guide.
The GamesRadar+ team reviews hundreds of products every year, from the biggest and smallest brands in the game but we also use this tech day in, day out in our own lives and setups. The way we test each device differs, but you can find out more about our process via the GamesRadar+ Hardware Policy.
Once I’ve got my top list of products for the year, I go back in time – well, I check price histories. I watch all these listing pages all year round, so I know when a deal is out of the ordinary. The Prime Day deals listed above will all be either at (or near) their lowest ever prices, so you know you’re getting the best tech at the best rate.
When will Amazon Prime Day end?
The days of time loop games are, thankfully, behind us. You’re not stuck in a Groundhog Day situation, Amazon Prime Day is a four-day event this year. That means these offers will come to an end on July 11 at midnight, though I’ve already started to see some offers jumping back up in price already.
Is Amazon Prime Day good for gaming deals?
Amazon offers a massive range of gaming deals every year on Prime Day, but whether you consider its prices ‘good’ depends on what you’re looking for. Peripherals like mice, keyboards, headsets, and controllers all generally see some of their best prices of the year during this sale, but I’d recommend looking to competitors for anything more technical.
Amazon struggles to keep up with larger PC retailers, so those on the hunt for gaming desktops and laptops would do better with Newegg or Best Buy. Thankfully, anti-Prime Day deals are rife this year and I’m seeing plenty of savings away from Amazon’s domain.
Can you trust cheaper ‘Amazon-only’ brands on Prime Day?
This isn’t my first rodeo, I know that the cheapest Prime Day deals for gamers often come from bizarrely-named Amazon-only brands. Of course, I’m only included the gadgets we’ve tested and recommended on GamesRadar+ in my top list and some of those products do fall into this category.
In general, though, you’ll need to use a little common sense to know when to trust a budget buy. There are three things you’ll need to look for if you’re going it alone:
1. Verified reviews
A lot of these bargain brands will use fake reviews to get to the top of search pages. Look for verified purchase reviews with photos to make sure you’re getting the real deal.
2. Don’t trust anything with all five-star reviews
Of course, these manufacturers also pay for reviews. If that’s happening, you’ll see a lot of five-star reviews and almost no one-stars. That’s just not realistic – even the best product in the world is going to have its haters for one reason or another. This is a major red flag for me.
3. Make sure reviews are for the product you’re buying
If they’re feeling particularly sneaky, a bad apple will generate a bunch of positive reviews on a listing page, only to change the product that’s actually being sold there. If you see reviews mentioning features or uses that don’t make sense for the product you’re buying, it’s time to run.
