The best gaming deals of October Prime Day

The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is one of the best gaming headsets you can buy. It’s comfortable, it looks like a set of high-end headphones, and it sounds incredible. What’s more, its base lets you plug in two audio sources at once, so you can flip between them as needed.

While much tougher to install than a microSD card, Corsair’s MP600 Mini 2 TB M.2 SSD is worth the effort if you want faster storage for your games. But you’ll likely need some tools, like this iFixit Essentials tool kit for $30, to open up your Steam Deck.

If you’re in the market for an OLED gaming monitor, MSI’s MAG 27-inch model is one of the most affordable options available. And yet, you’ll find no compromises in terms of design or performance. This 1440p monitor has a fast 240 Hz refresh rate and comes with a height-adjustable stand.

This $1,299 machine packs in impressive specs. Its Nvidia RTX 4070, high-end Intel Core i9 CPU, and speedy DDR5 RAM can play demanding titles with ease. To top it off, its 16-inch 1440p display looks fantastic.

Slot this into your Steam Deck (or your handheld console of choice) to easily add a ton of extra storage for games.

Fully customize your Steam Deck with the Deckmate suite of accessories. You can mount your Deck, put it on a kickstand, and more.

During a video call or a Twitch stream, nothing makes you look better than a good key light. Elgato’s thin, customizable option delivers good direct lighting, or it can be used as bias lighting for a more natural look.

Nintendo’s latest Switch and Switch OLED bundles offer $79 in free goodies, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a full year of Nintendo Switch Online membership.

Your Switch’s battery life probably isn’t what it used to be, and if you frequently play on-the-go, this small but powerful portable battery can let you play for longer.

For when you’re in the all-too-common pickle of having to recharge your Switch and your phone at the same time, Anker’s 2-in-1 USB-C cable makes short work of the issue.

During Prime Day, Amazon has the best deal around on Konami’s compilation of Metal Gear Solid games, which includes the titular debut, plus its two sequels, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3. The Xbox and PlayStation versions are also discounted.

Meet the wireless controller that works seamlessly with your Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and PC. The 8BitDo Ultimate uses Hall effect joysticks that are resistant to drifting.

It doesn’t matter which of the eight heroes you pick at the start of Octopath Traveler 2. This sprawling throwback RPG gives each character their own compelling arc while intertwining bigger challenges. The PlayStation version is also discounted.

There’s a lot to love in this cutesy, kick-ass sidescrolling title. It’s fun to play alone, but even better is that it supports two-player local co-op. The PlayStation version is also discounted.

2024’s best football game doesn’t have “Madden” in the title. Good ol’ collegiate football is back and better than ever in EA Sport’s first college-focused title in a decade. And now, you can get it for over $20 off.

It might seem weird to see an Amazon Fire TV Stick in the Xbox section, but with the new Xbox app, all you need is a Game Pass Ultimate subscription and a controller to stream games to your TV.

With big exclusives finally here in time for the holidays, Microsoft’s Xbox Series X can really open you up to more games, especially when you also gift a subscription to Xbox Game Pass, which gives you access to many top titles to play from day one.

On Oct. 9 only, save an extra 20% off the total at Woot by using the code SAVE20 at checkout. This brings Game Pass Ultimate down to the lowest price we’ve seen yet.

One of the earliest surprise gems of 2024, The Lost Crown adapted the Prince of Persia franchise into a gorgeous 2D Metroidvania.

If you need some extra storage for your Xbox Series X or Series S, grab one of WD Black’s C50 expansion cards to at least double your console’s storage.

For Prime Day, Sony is knocking $50 off the usual cost of its PS5 Digital Edition. This rare discount only shows up a couple of times per year.

During Prime Day, Amazon is knocking a sweet $20 off the cost of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second (and PS5 Pro-enhanced) installment in Square Enix’s impressive reimagining of the original PS1 classic.

WD_Black’s 4 TB version of the SN850X is a heck of an SSD for your PS5, bringing all of the storage you may be looking for.

Sony’s own InZone Buds include a wireless transceiver that can push audio from your PS5, PC, or mobile phone. However, it’s their high performance that sets them apart, with booming sound and effective noise cancellation.

The best phone controller is 30% off for Prime Day, and for PS5 owners, it’s a much more affordable alternative to the PlayStation Portal. It’s compatible with all USB-C phones, be it an iPhone or Android device.

You’re not alone if you missed Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora when it launched (there were a ton of great games in 2023). If you want to give the game a chance and see what it’s like to fight and fly as a Na’vi, you can buy it for the lowest price we’ve seen yet.

The second installment in Respawn’s excellent third-person action series is available for the lowest price we’ve seen yet. Also available at this price for Xbox.
