The latest Prime Day sale is here, and as expected, Amazon is advertising an array of deals on video games and gaming accessories. Also as expected, most of those offers aren't all that good. So allow us to do the research for you. To help those looking to upgrade their battle station or extend their backlog, we've picked out the best Amazon Prime Day discounts on gaming gear below. While the selection isn't as vast as what we'll see around Black Friday, we're still seeing lower-than-usual prices on well-reviewed games for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. There's also a few decent deals on gaming mice, headsets, laptops and other accessories we've tested and can recommend. As a reminder, this year's Prime Day runs through July 17, and you'll need to be a Prime member to access most of the discounts.

Amazon Prime Day usually advertises a number of discounts on video games and gaming gear, and this year's event is no exception. To help you avoid wasting your cash, we've sifted through the sale and picked out the best Prime Day gaming deals that are actually worth your attention below. In general, the selection isn't as vast as what we'll see around Black Friday, but we've still found lower-than-usual prices on a handful of well-reviewed games for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. There are also some decent deals on gaming mice, headsets, laptops and other accessories we've tested and can recommend. As a reminder, Prime Day runs through July 17, and you'll need to be a Prime member to access most (but not all) of the discounts. We'll update this roundup over the course of the sale if prices change or more noteworthy deals pop up.

Cyber Monday has brought a truckload of deals on gaming gear for PCs, PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch alike. As always, most of those offers aren't really deals at all -- but if you want a hand in upgrading your setup, we've scoured the many sales happening around the web and compiled the best Cyber Monday gaming deals we could find. While much of the Cyber Monday 2023 selection is left over from Black Friday, we're still seeing lower-than-usual prices on consoles, games, gaming monitors, mice, keyboards, headsets, handhelds, laptops and other recommended accessories our gaming experts have tested and reviewed. The non-slim PS5 is still 10 percent off for Cyber Monday at GameStop and Amazon, though the former requires in-store pickup as of this writing. The PlayStation 5 is still $50 off and down to $450 at Amazon and GameStop -- though stock has been going in and out at the former, and the latter appears to require in-store pickup. This offer only applies to the older version of the PS5, not the smaller "slim" version that was announced last month. But discounts of any kind for Sony's console have been extremely rare since the device arrived in 2020, and there's no performance difference between the two models. If stock for that deal completely runs dry, Sony is still offering a pair of bundles that do include the latest version of the console: one that comes with Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and one that includes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. You should go with the former while both are available: We called Spider-Man 2 a "perfectly balanced game" in our review, while Modern Warfare 3 has been roundly criticized as one of the most undercooked CoD entries in recent memory. Both games cost $70 on their own, so that's what you're saving here. As a refresher, Sony says the slim PS5 takes up 30 percent less volume than the original models and weighs up to three pounds less. It also has two USB-C ports instead of one. If the slim Spider-Man 2 bundle runs out of stock, Sony is running a similar deal with the older "fat" PS5 as well.

Whether you play on PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch or PC, the myriad Cyber Monday sales around the web include a number of deals that may be of interest. To help you cut through the junk, we've rounded up the best Cyber Monday gaming deals we could find below. Most are left over from Black Friday, but that still means lower-than-usual prices on consoles, games, mice, keyboards, headsets, handhelds, monitors, laptops and more recommended gaming gear our experts have tested and reviewed.

Intel's Core i9-14900K still offers some of the best performance around -- albeit at a similarly beastly power draw -- but offers negligible performance improvement over its direct predecessor, the 13900K. New support for Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 5, and performance-boosting AI features are a nice touch, though. A new generation of refreshed Raptor Lake processors have arrived. After months of rumors and leaks--and an official announcement just yesterday--Intel's latest batch of desktop CPUs take their place as the 14th generation in the Core lineup. You can catch up on the specs and speeds in our comprehensive coverage of the unveiling, but the basics are straightforward. Six new chips have launched, with two variants each of unlocked Core i9, Core i7, and Core i5 parts.

Black Friday doesn't officially arrive for a few more weeks, but we're already starting to see retailers run early holiday sales on several gadgets we recommend. Roku's Streaming Stick 4K, for instance, has fallen to a new low of $25, while Sony's WH-1000XM5 headphones are back down to the price we saw during Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale last month. There are offers on Amazon and Google devices beyond that, plus discounts on Roombas, MacBooks, Logitech gaming mice, and Samsung storage gear, among others. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still get today. This drop to $25 represents a new low for Roku's Streaming Stick 4K, which is currently the top streaming stick in our guide to the best streaming devices.

Easy to set up and incredibly responsive, the Cielo Breez Plus is one of two Wi-Fi-connected air-conditioner controllers this company manufactures. Like many similar devices we've tested, the simpler (and less-expensive, at a street price of $68) Breez Eco relies entirely on the Cielo Home app. The pricier Breez Plus, reviewed here, has a street price of $109, but it features a display and onboard controls, so you can program a connected air conditioner without needing to pull out your mobile device. The Breez Plus, like all Wi-Fi A/C controllers, enables your generally unconnected window, portable, mini-split, and various other types of air conditioner (or dehumidifier) to be a lot smarter. Not only do you gain more control over your appliance, you also stand to save money by reducing your energy consumption. These controllers operate much like a smart thermostat for a whole-house HVAC system, but they manage a single device in one room.

We may see better deals over deals events like Black Friday or Cyber Monday, but at the moment, this $25 discount is well worth a second look if you're interested in the latest Alexa smart display. We have yet to test the Echo Show 5 and report our thoughts in our guide to the best smart display for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, but if you're an Alexa user looking for the latest tech, this is the latest version of our top pick.

It's trended at around $600 when in stock in recent months, and while at just under 50 inches it's a little on the small side, if you have a smaller space or just don't want your TV to overwhelm the rest of your decor, it's a nice option at this discounted price for those who like to game.

The lowest we've seen the Jabra Elite Active 65t in new condition to this point is $140, but that holiday deal was comparatively short-lived.
