Memorial Day gaming sales are looking particularly impressive this year. Whether you gaming on PS5, Xbox Series X or Nintendo Switch you'll want to pay attention to all the Memorial Day sales action.
Discounts on video games and gaming accessories are always some of the most popular deals of any major sales event, and we're seeing big savings on a range of must-play titles for all three major platforms. For example, PlayStation Store's Memorial Day sale is drawing plenty of interest right now.
Even more exciting, this could be the first Memorial Day where we see a discount on the PS5 and Xbox Series X as both are now readily available. The PS5 God of War bundle has been reduced in recent weeks, and the Xbox Series S was discounted throughout the holiday sales. Could retailers offer fresh discounts now that Memorial Day has arrived?
We're checking major retailers for deals across all gaming platforms, so here are the best Memorial Day gaming sales that you can score right now.

When will Memorial Day gaming sales begin?
This year Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 29. Yes, that's more than a month away, but we expect that the first crop of Memorial Day gaming sales will arrive much sooner. Retailers often begin discounting products in May, with the middle of the month often marking the real start of the sales. If you can't wait till then we're already seeing a load of deals on Star Wars video games ahead of May the 4th.
What Memorial Day gaming sales can we expect?
It's practically a guarantee that we'll see big savings on loads of excellent games and accessories for PS5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch. We're also hoping that we might see first discounts for some of the biggest releases of 2023 so far including Dead Space, Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4 and Star Wars Jedi Survivor.
Even more exciting, this year could finally be the year where we see discounts on next-gen hardware. Now that the PS5 and Xbox Series X restock nightmare is over, we could see retailers slash prices to tempt shoppers to purchase. Even if big-money off is unlikely we could see consoles bundled together with some software at least. Discounts on the Nintendo Switch OLED are also worth keeping an eye out for.
