    Amazon’s October Prime Day is getting closer, and the retailer’s early gaming deals are now stretching well beyond discounted PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox games. We’re also seeing price cuts on gaming monitors, headsets, mice, keyboards, and other setup upgrades ahead of the main sale on Oct. 6-7.

    With that in mind, we’ve expanded this guide to cover the best gaming tech alongside the console deals already worth shopping. As always, we’re sticking to products with genuine reductions against their listed or typical prices, and we’ll keep updating our picks as more early Prime Day offers go live.

    Why we like it

    Starfield only made the jump to PS5 in April, and the Standard Edition is already nearly half price. The game is currently listed at $47.33 (usually $49.99), but an on-page coupon drops it to $29.99 at checkout. That $20 savings marks the lowest price this version has ever seen on Amazon. This is the full base game rather than a trimmed-down edition, giving you Bethesda’s huge sci-fi RPG with deep character customization, ship building, and over 1,000 planets to explore.

    Best console deal

    Nex Playground - The Active Play System for Kids & Families + 12-Month Play Pass Bundle

    Nex Playground + 12-Month Play Pass Bundle
    $354.87at Amazon
    $388Save $33.13
     

    Why we like it

    Don’t write this off as just a kids’ toy. Mashable freelancer Tabitha Britt bought one a couple of years ago for Christmas, when it was sold out everywhere — she literally had to special-order it and wait two weeks for it to ship — and says it’s still one of the most genuinely fun active setups you can buy. It’s kind of like a Wii, but it uses an AI camera to track your movements, so you don’t need a handheld controller to play.

    (Note: Standard PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch systems are still at their full retail price, so we haven’t included them here. We’re keeping a close eye on console prices and will update this section the second actual markdowns go live.)

    Best gaming monitor deal

    Samsung 32” Odyssey G5 G50F QHD Resolution Gaming Monitor, 180Hz Refresh Rate, Fast IPS Panel, HDR10, NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, 1ms Response Time (GtG), AMD FreeSync™, Adjustable Stand, LS32FG502ENXZA

    Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G5 (G50F) Series QHD Gaming Monitor
    $199.99at Amazon
    $349.99Save $150
     

    Why we like it

    Finding a 32-inch 1440p panel from a top-tier brand under $200 is a steal. You’re getting a 180Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time, plus G-Sync and FreeSync support to keep fast-paced action smooth and free of screen tearing. It also comes with a height-adjustable ergonomic stand right out of the box, so you can pivot, tilt, and swivel to your setup’s needs — a practical feature most budget displays cut to trim costs.

    Best gaming headset deal

    HyperX Cloud II Headset

    HyperX Cloud II Headset
    $49.99at Amazon
    $79.99Save $30.00
     

    Why we like it

    The HyperX Cloud II has been around for years because the basic design just works. For $50, you get 53mm drivers, hardware-driven 7.1 virtual surround sound, and an aluminum frame built to take a beating. The memory foam ear pads stay comfortable during long gaming sessions, and the detachable noise-canceling mic keeps voice chat clear without getting in the way when you just want to listen to music.

    Why we like it

    Getting a top-tier wired mouse at half off makes the Razer Basilisk V3 an easy pick. It has 11 programmable buttons, a smart scroll wheel that toggles between tactile clicks and free-spin scrolling, and a thumb rest shaped for long gaming sessions.

    If you’re upgrading your keyboard too, the Razer BlackWidow V4 X has real tactile mechanical switches instead of those squishy membrane keys. It includes six dedicated macro keys, custom RGB lighting for each key, and a physical volume roller right above the number pad, so you don’t have to tab out of your game to tweak audio.
