PSA: Amazon Prime Day gaming deals are officially underway, so if you’re a die-hard gamer like me, you’ll want to get in on the action, ASAP. Thanks to the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event (or as most people would call it – Prime Day 2.0), the online retailer has discounted loads of gaming accessories (think: keyboards, mice, headsets and microphones) as well as some top-tier video games and even gaming monitors (the good kind, of course). Something you’re not very likely to see again until Black Friday.
That being said, the event is only taking place until tomorrow (October 11th) 23:59, so if you’ve been waiting for a chance to upgrade your gaming setup for less ££, we’d suggest acting soon while the deals are still live. Plus, knowing how popular tech is on Amazon, trust us – the stock won’t last long either.
Best Amazon Prime Day gaming deals at a glance:
As an avid PC gamer and an ex-Twitch streamer, I’d like to think that I know a thing or two about gaming devices. Not to mention, prior to becoming a beauty journalist, I wrote about all things tech and gaming for a living. I’ve tested and reviewed countless gaming peripherals. Over the past three or so years, I’ve been fully dedicated to building my dream gaming setup, and I’m proud to say that after all the time, effort and money that went into it, it’s finally complete. Why do I care so much about the aesthetics, you ask? Of course, when it comes to gaming, all that really matters is the functionality, but as someone who spends the majority of my time at my desk (be it for work or for playing video games), being surrounded by gear that you love makes one hell of a difference.
Frustratingly, since the gaming industry is heavily dominated by men, finding a quality piece of gaming hardware that fits your aesthetic can be quite a challenge, to say the least (since practically everything else is either black, red or both). However, over the past few years, it seems as though the industry is getting progressively more inclusive and celebratory of female gamers, with multiple gaming manufacturers now releasing a whole variety of peripherals in all shapes and colours. From Razer and Logitech to ASUS ROG, there’s quite a few brands that I’m particularly fond of, all offering an exceptional level of quality without compromising the looks, of course.
That being said, regardless of the aesthetic, shopping for gaming and tech is far from easy, namely because of the notoriously expensive price tag. Luckily, Amazon Prime device deals can take a good chunk off your order total. Last year, we saw discounts on everything from gaming controllers, carry-on cases, keyboards, headsets, monitors, consoles – you name it. Ahead, the ultimate guide to the best discounted gaming gear you can find this Amazon Prime Day. Enjoy.
