21 early Prime Day gaming deals: up to 50% off Nintendo Switch, PS5, gaming PCs and more
These are the Prime Big Deal Days gaming deals you should shop early
Prime Big Deal Days, AKA October Prime Day, will start soon. However, Amazon is already offering early deals, and in particular, I've found a bunch of great savings on gaming gear.
Right now PS5 games and accessories are on sale from $6, and you'll find Xbox Series X games and accessories from $9. Prefer to game on a PC? Amazon has gaming laptops, monitors and keyboards on sale from $36.
I'm primarily into Nintendo, so my favorite deal right now is the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle for $549. It sucks that this console recently got a price increase, but at least this bundle is back for anyone who missed out on getting it at launch price — it'll save you $37 compared to buying the included items separately.
Keep scrolling to see all my favorite early Prime Day gaming deals.

Looking for the right balance between speeding up your system with fast storage, but also getting plenty of room, too? The Samsung 990 Pro is a great pick — we think it's the best PS5 SSD right now.
