    Amazon’s October Prime Day is here, and the gaming deals are getting better with each day. We’re already seeing decent price cuts on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox games, as well as cheaper consoles, gaming monitors, headsets, mice, keyboards, and other setup upgrades ahead of the Oct. 6-7 sale.

    Some of the strongest offers have already shifted since these deals first started appearing, so we’ve refreshed our picks to focus on what’s actually worth buying right now. That includes a sub-$200 renewed Nintendo Switch, the best deal on Starfield on PS5, and sizeable savings on gaming gear from HyperX, Samsung, Razer, and more.

    These are the best gaming deals live right now.

    Why we like it

    Starfield only made the jump to PS5 in April, and the Standard Edition is already at a sizable discount. The game is currently listed at $47.31 (usually $49.99), but an on-page coupon drops it to $40.33 at checkout — for a saving of $9.66 in total. 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.

    Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Red Joy-Con (Renewed)
    $199.90at Amazon
    $339Save $139.10
     

    Why we like it

    The standard Nintendo Switch is still hovering above $300, but Amazon Renewed is once again offering a much cheaper way into the platform. The Neon Blue and Red Joy-Con model is down to $199.90 in refurbished “Excellent” condition, saving $139.10 off its $339 list price.

    You’ll need to be fine with some light cosmetic wear, but you’re still getting the full 6.2-inch Switch experience with detachable Joy-Con and handheld, tabletop, and docked TV play for plenty of both first-party Nintendo and third-party multiplatform games.

    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

    $229.99at Amazon
    $349.99Save $120
     

    Why we like it

    Finding a 32-inch 1440p panel from a top-tier brand for around $200 is nothing to scoff at. 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.

    Why we like it

    The HyperX Cloud III S is a wireless upgrade at $129.99, down $50 from its $179.99 list price — that’s its lowest-ever price on Amazon (confirmed by price tracker camelcamelcamel). In exchange, you’re getting up to 120 hours of battery life over 2.4GHz, or as much as 200 hours through Bluetooth, alongside 53mm angled drivers and HyperX’s memory foam cushioning. It also works on PC, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Mac, and mobile devices, with both USB-A and USB-C connectors included for easier switching between platforms.

    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.
