Amazon Prime Day is the perfect time to score incredible deals on games to fill your backlog, as well as essential accessories like controllers, headsets, and storage expansion for your next-gen console. Combing through thousands of deals to find the ones actually worth your time is tedious, though, which is why we’ve done the heavy lifting and collected the best ones here.
A ton of great games are on sale, including Star Wars Outlaws, which is currently on sale for $41 off at Amazon for both the Xbox Series X / S and PlayStation 5. Nintendo hardly ever discounts its first-party games, so we’re pleased to see Splatoon 3 going for $39.99 ($20 off) at Best Buy. You can also pick up Pikmin 4 — an underrated gem of the last console generation — for $39.99 ($20 off) at Best Buy.

- If you want to know why Armored Core fans were overjoyed in 2023, it’s because that’s when Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon launched. The fast, relentlessly challenging third-person action game is a treat for the senses (and a punishment to your reflexes), and the Xbox version is down to just $19.99 (about $10 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. This matches the game’s previous low, but it remains a fantastic deal if you missed out last time.
- Bloober Team knocked it out of the park with its remake of Silent Hill 2 on the PS5. Thankfully, if you scoffed at its original $69.99 price tag, you can currently pick it up for around $39.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Read our review.

- If you read our review of the Windows-flavored Lenovo Legion Go S, we made it clear that its high $729.99 price was one of its biggest flaws. It has other issues, such as the current state of gaming on a Windows handheld and its underpowered Ryzen Z2 Go processor, but the 32GB RAM / 1TB storage model is worth considering at its discounted price of $499.99 ($230 off) at Best Buy.
