The best Prime Day gaming deals 2022

The Nintendo Switch OLED model is the best version of the console that you can buy right now, and today you can save 18 per cent on this bundle with the latest version of Just Dance for Prime Day. With a 7in OLED display and a sturdier kickstand, it’s a perfect companion for gaming on the go. In our review of the Nintendo Switch OLED model, our tester said: “The larger display is fantastic and playing games in handheld mode is an absolute joy. The kickstand feels so solid and makes us never want to look at that little toggle on the back of the original Switch ever again.”

You’ll also get Ubisoft’s bestselling dancing game that has been going strong since 2010. The 2022 version boasts an array of new features, with some classic tracks making a return as well as over 40 new songs from featured artists such as Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish. A family-friendly title that all ages can enjoy, there’s even a kids mode featuring eight child-friendly tunes to bop away to.

If you’re looking for a gaming laptop that can comfortably run some of the latest games, then the Razer Blade 14 is an excellent option. And right now it has a hefty discount of 36 per cent. While we haven’t reviewed this exact model, the Razer Blade 15 was our top pick for best gaming laptop. We praised the newer version for its impressive graphics and performance both with PC games and on work meetings, and while this model is ever so slightly older, it still comes with an RTX 3070 under the hood and an AMD Ryzen 9, meaning that it should still pack plenty of power for gaming on the go. The 14in 1440p display with 165hz also means that gameplay should look and feel smooth as well.

The Xbox series S would typically set you back £249.99, and while this is a refurbished unit it will save you £40 off a brand new model. Refurbished consoles have been put through a rigorous certification process, tested to confirm it’s working properly, and inspected for hardware and cosmetic quality. Like the PS5 digital edition, the Series S does not have a disc drive, meaning all games and media must be purchased digitally in order to be used.

While its technical specs might not match the more expensive series X, you still get access to the same selection of games and it even utilises the same controller, helping it land a spot in our round-up of the best games consoles. It’s a perfect gaming machine for downloadable titles such as Rocket League and Fortnite, or if you already own a Playstation 5 and want to experience some of Microsoft’s exclusive titles, this is the most affordable point of entry.

Coming in a fetching red colourway and with 31 per cent off, if you’re looking to pick up a new controller for your PS5, then this offering from Playstation is for you. We featured it in our round-up of best PS5 accessories where our tester said: “Besides looking and feeling good, it also has some useful features such as haptic feedback, which is a form of far superior vibration, and a set of trigger buttons that are much more responsive and tactile than previous PlayStation controllers. It’s the natural next step for a PlayStation controller and it’s arguably the best thing about the console.” So, if you’ve managed to get your hands on the elusive console but are lacking some of the other elements to take your gaming set-up to the next level, then you’ll want to snap one of these up while you can.

Having only released in April 2022, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, is an excellent family-friendly option for Star Wars and Lego fans of all ages – and now, it’s 33 per cent off! In our review of the game we said: “The Skywalker Saga is a fitting tribute to the most enduring film franchise of the last three generations. Fans of both properties will enjoy it, especially those young enough to have missed the first few instalments.”

We added that “For longtime fans of Lego Star Wars, there’s enough of an improvement to the tried and tested formula to warrant some intrigue, if only to see how far the series has come along.” And yes, the classic character edition includes variants of some of the game’s main characters including the infamous Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Halo Infinite is the most confident the Halo series has been in years, thanks to its open-ended world and traversal, and now it’s available with a huge saving of 73 per cent. The campaign follows Spartan super-soldier Master Chief as he continues the fight against the Banished on the ringworld of Zeta Halo with the help of a new AI known as “The Weapon”. It was our top pick for one of the best games on Xbox and for £14.99, it’s well worth the price of admission.

If you’re looking to play multiplayer games online and engage in a civil dialogue with your fellow gamers, then a decent headset-mic combo is for you. Luckily, this offering from Logitech is currently 60 per cent off. The directional microphone will ensure that all your compliments are clearly heard and the 50mm drivers with 7.1 surround sound should help immerse you in the comradery of your team as you politely debate strategy. The headset will work across different devices using a 3.5mm headphone jack and its over-ear design should ensure your ears remain comfortable after a long session. The flip-to-mute mic also ensures that the microphone can easily be switched off when you run out of nice things to say in the lobby.

In our round-up of the best PS5 games you can play in 2022, we said that this title has, “changed very little since its first outing which is what makes Rift Apart feel so special in an age of hyper-realistic blockbusters.” And now this PS5 exclusive can be yours with the added bonus of a 39 per cent discount.

Our writer added: “With a wildly creative arsenal of new weapons and gorgeous graphics, Rift Apart is a powerful return to form and one of the Playstation 5’s best exclusive titles.” You won’t want to miss out as that £43 price tag looks a whole lot more appealing than it’s regular sum.

The pedals are customisable, while the 900-degree lock-to-lock rotation allows you to turn the wheel just like a real F1 car.

While the PS5 comes with 667GB of useable storage, that space will quickly run out if you’re planning to play big titles such as Horizon Forbidden West (£52, Amazon.co.uk). There are a number of ways to increase the amount of space available but one of the best is to install an internal SSD into the console itself. Luckily, the SN850 has made our list of the best PS5 accessories for just this reason. In our review, we said: “Once you spend 10 minutes with a screwdriver, your storage capacity is vastly increased. Expect to be able to store at least 10 PS5 games on the hard drive with that number potentially higher depending on the games you play.” Considering it has 61 per cent off right now you definitely don’t want to miss out.

Complete your gaming setup with Razer’s mechanical keyboard, including three modes of connection, green mechanical switches forfeedback and full-height keys.

The latest game in the Assassin’s Creed series, Valhalla takes place in the 9th century through the memories of Viking warrior Eivor. This edition includes its most recent DLC: Dawn of Ragnarök and according to the developer, it’s the largest expansion to date for the series. With over 35 hours of new gameplay, as well as different weapon and enemy types, there’s plenty of reasons to revisit this Viking saga, especially as it now has a huge saving of over 57 per cent.

If you’re an avid fan of the Marvel universe, this huge 60 per cent discount on Marvel’s Avengers for PS5 is a deal that’s bound to be a hit.

This deal on Techland’s Dying Light 2 currently has a huge 50 per cent off. The game was only released in early February this year and for the price, there’s plenty of reasons to pick it up on either PS5, PS4 or Xbox series X/S. It had the misfortune of being released close to two of 2022’s biggest titles: Horizon Forbidden West and, crucially, Elden Ring. So there’s a good chance you may have missed out when it first released.

In our review of the game, we said: “Dying Light 2 is at its best when it has the freedom to explore its environments. Running through, around and over the city’s inhabitants is the kind of gameplay that would bring players back to visit after the first roll of the credits.”

If you’re hoping to pick up The Callisto Protocol on PlayStation 5 at the best price, then Amazon currently has a generous 16 per cent saving on the nex-gen version of the game. It’s the best deal that we’ve seen so far for pre-orders, and eager fans of space-horror games like Dead Space should expect to receive the game close to its scheduled release date of 2 December 2022, with day-one bonus content, which includes the “retro prisoner skin” and “contraband pack”.

Released in January 2022, Rainbow Six Extraction is still a fairly new title that’s worth exploring and now it’s 28 per cent off. As a spin-off of the popular competitive shooter, Rainbow Six Siege, it takes players into a new sci-fi setting. In our review, we said: “By scaling back to focus on a co-operative experience, Extraction has done well to retain the look and, more importantly, the feel of its competitive counterpart while carving out its own niche.”

If you’re looking for a new gaming mouse, then you’ll want to take a look at this one from Logitech which currently has 36 per cent off. Much like the best gaming keyboards, Logitech is also known for its quality gaming mouse peripherals, with the brand making its way onto our list of best gaming mice.

The G403 looks like a decent contender with the brand claiming it’s designed for ideal grip and comfort. With RGB lightsync and six programmable buttons, it should be decently customisable for any gaming PC set up.

Like the best ergonomic office chairs, a good gaming chair can provide an extra level of comfort and support for people who take their game time as seriously as their posture and this deal on a Corsair T1 Race chair can save shoppers 16 per cent.

Corsair is a well-regarded brand when it comes to its gaming peripherals and its chairs are no exception. In our round up of the best gaming chairs, two of Corsair’s offerings managed to impress us with their 4D pivoting armrests, 180 degree reclination as well as neck and lumbar support for those long night gaming sessions.

While the T1 Race is built with (you guessed it) racing games in mind, it comes included with all the features listed above as well as a faux leather black and red finish and rollerblade-style PU caster wheels which the brand claims prevents floor marking.

The racing wheel provides a detailed simulation of driving a real car, featuring helical gearing, a hand-stitched leather cover and pressure-sensitive nonlinear brake pedals.

This webcam also has a very wide field of view – 78 degrees – so should massively trump your built-in laptop camera. So with the price slashed by 33 per cent, it’s worth trying out. You can also get your hands on the webcam and keyboard mouse combo (was £111.74, now £77.98, Amazon.co.uk), down 30 per cent to £77.98.
