Prime Big Deal Days, also known as October Prime Day, is almost here, which means you can expect loads of epic deals on PS5 games, accessories and maybe even the console itself over the next few days. 

The sales event itself doesn't arrive until Tuesday, October 10 but we're already seeing a range of Amazon deals on some of the best PS5 games including Elden Ring and The Last of Us Part 1. And we're also seeing sizeable savings on some of the best internal PS5 SSDs such as the highly-rated WD_Black SN850X.  

Earlier this year the PS5 console itself received its first discount, and during the July Prime Day event, the God of War Ragnarök Bundle was reduced. That deal hasn't returned just yet, but we're hoping we could see it reappear as Big Deal Days arrives. 

Below we're listing all the best Prime Day PS5 deals available right now, and we'll be updating this article through the entire sales event, so be sure to check later if you don't spot exactly what you're looking for quite yet.

Prime Day PS5 deals — what should you know?

During Amazon's Big Deal Days event, there will be big savings on loads of the best PS5 games and accessories this Prime Day. And we're not talking bargain-bin fillers either, some of the biggest games of the year so far are likely to be included in the sales. From Dead Space to Hogwarts Legacy, we expect to see some epic deals on must-play PS5 games. Plus, essential accessories like PS5 SSDs, wireless headsets and DualSense charging stations are also highly likely to be reduced. 

Plus, this year we've finally seen some discounts on the PS5 itself. While the standalone console appears to be sticking to its full MSRP, the God of War Ragnarök Bundle has already been dropped to its lowest price ever earlier in the summer. We're at least hoping to see this deal return in time for the holiday gifting season.
