Amazon Gaming Week sale is now live until May 5, making this an incredible opportunity to save, and will likely be the last chance to grab a big discount on Game Pass, SSDs, SD Cards, and power banks until the Prime Day sales later in the summer. Plenty of sales occur outside of events like Prime Day or Black Friday, so be sure to take advantage while the massive collection of discounts is available this week.
Buying new video games, hardware, and accessories for your preferred console doesn’t need to make a massive dent in your wallet. Deals happen all the time for items like these, so you can save money while investing in your favorite hobby. We also cover hot items coming back in stock, like the PlayStation Portal which is now available again at Best Buy for $199.99. For now, whether you play on PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or PC, you’ll find the very best deals listed below.
TL;DR – Our Favorite Video Game Deals
3-Months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for Just $36.99 (Stackable Codes)
There’s a hot chance this sells out fast, so get those codes in ASAP. Woot is offering an excellent deal on three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. You can save $13 on a digital 3-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, bringing its price down from $49.99 to $36.99. It’s also still stackable for up to 36 months for new or existing members – huzzah! Microsoft has also recently announced the second wave of games coming to Game Pass in April 2024. Highlights include Orcs Must Die! 3, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, and the hotly anticipated Manor Lords.
Our Favorite Micro SD Cards for Switch and Steam Deck Are On Sale
The best Switch or Steam Deck SD card should be fast, reliable, and as future-proof as possible. That last one is important, as it’s quite likely we’ll be getting a Switch successor / the next Nintendo console within the next year or so (if rumors are to be believed). Therefore, you’re going to want to opt for the latest in SD card tech, which is a micro SDXC UHS-I U3 A2 V30 memory card. That’s a lot of random letters, so to save you a bit of time we’ve left our top suggestions and deals just below for your convenience. To see even more SD card deals, make sure to check out our roundup of the best SD card deals.

Our Favorite Power Bank for Steam Deck is Discounted Right Now
Some excellent power banks are discounted at the moment for Amazon Gaming Week that are perfectly portable and packing plenty of power to keep you going. In particular, the fantastic Anker Prime Power Bank is down to just $89.98 right now. This is a huge discount for the 200W enabled 20,000mAh Portable Charger, and likely the best we are going to see until Prime Day later in the summer.
PlayStation Portal Is Finally Back In Stock at Best Buy
See our PlayStation Portal review here.
There are some amazing PS5 deals to check out right now, including a selection of PlayStation games that have dropped to just $20 at Walmart. Not only that, but the PlayStation Portal, a surprise hit, and Sony’s newest handheld gaming accessory, is back in stock at Best Buy for $199.99 (there’s also an open-box version for just $159.99 while stock lasts).
Perfect PS5 4TB SSD with Heatsink for $239.49 at Amazon
Looking to completely maximize your PS5 storage capabilities? Then this is the deal for you. For a limited time only, this PS5 4TB SSD is available at Amazon for just $239.49 (see here). It has an MSRP of $699.99 which is rather dramatic, but in reality, this and many other 4TB SSDs have been sitting around $280-$300 recently. The 1TB version is also down to just $71.49 as well, the best price you can find on a PS5 SSD at the time of writing. Again, we’re unlikely to see better deals than this until Prime Day in the summer. You can also check out the more PS5 SSD deals here.
WD Black C50 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox for $124.99
Amazon is offering the lowest price we’ve ever seen on the officially licensed WD Black C50 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series consoles. Right now it’s only $124.99, a 16% off price drop from its original $150 MSRP. It’s currently $25 cheaper than the Seagate 1TB Expansion Card. The C50 is one of the best SSDs for the Xbox, which isn’t surprising since your options are pretty limited.

HyperX Gaming Headsets Are Discounted for Amazon Gaming Week
Looking for a brand new headset? Consider these HyperX sets that are currently discount in the Amazon Gaming Week sale. Whether you’re on PS5, Xbox, or PC, the HyperX Cloud III could be the pick of the bunch, down to just $79.99 from a list price of $99.99.

Steam Deck Internal SSD: Big Discounts for Amazon Gaming Week
If a micro SD card deal isn’t floating your boat for Steam Deck, how about a new internal SSD instead? The WD_BLACK 2TB SN770M M.2 2230 NVMe SSD is down to just $175.99 right now, a considerable drop from its $239.99 list price, and well worth considering. If you don’t need all that extra storage, there’s a more affordable option for the 500GB version as well, down to $67.99.
Up to 40% Off PC Gaming Accessories From Corsair
Corsair also has a massive sale for Amazon Gaming Week, with several big discounts on PC gaming accessories like mice, headsets, keyboards and more. We’ve selected a few of our favorites in the sale, but there’s so much on offer we can hardly cover it all — so ensure you’re checking out everything that’s recieved a discount here as well.
Meta Quest 2 (128GB) is Down to $199.99
Target is offering a very nice $50 discount at the moment on the 128GB Meta Quest 2. This is one of the best Meta Quest deals available right now, and well worth considering for anyone interested in VR. Normally, this VR headset retails for $249.99, but you can grab it for $199.99 right now, which is a great price for such a high-quality headset. We gave it a 9/10 in our review back when it was released, stating that it “improves an already amazing VR headset with better resolution, refresh rate, and a lower price tag.”

Score 2 Free Months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (New Members Only)
Walmart is now offering two months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for free for any current or new Walmart+ members. If you’re not currently a member of Walmart+, the retailer offers a 30-day free trial (which will make you eligible for the Game Pass offer), alongside plans for $12.95 paid monthly, or $98 paid annually.
For those interested in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offer, it is worth qualifying that this code will only apply to those who currently don’t have an active Game Pass Ultimate membership, and Walmart stresses that this is for new members only. If you’re on Game Pass Core, it should be fine to apply to your account. Otherwise, if you’re a current Game Pass Ultimate member, the code won’t be applicable. If you do qualify, it’s a pretty simple process if you’re looking to bag the two-month free trial, here’s how:
Steps:
- Visit the Walmart+ Offer Page and select ‘Get Offer’ next to the 2 free months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate listing
- On the ‘Offer Page’ you will see a unique promo code, copy this code and keep a record of it
- Hit the ‘Redeem Offer’ button on the page to go to the Xbox Site
- Sign in to Your Account
- Your promo code will autofill — if it does not then paste/type
- Redeem your offer and receive your 2 Free Months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
- Disable auto-renewal afterward to avoid being charged at the end of the trial — this can be located in ‘Services & Subscriptions’ in your Microsoft account. You should also do this for Walmart+ if you used a free trial to access the Game Pass offer
Score a Spider-Man 2 PS5 Slim Bundle for $449 (20% Off MSRP)
This deal has been one of our favorites for quite a while (since last year’s Black Friday, actually!) and it’s been selling out at a variety of retailers. Thankfully, Best Buy still has some in stock, so if you’ve been hoping to grab one of these PS5 Slim bundles, now’s your chance to do so. Who knows how long it’ll stick around for, so act fast! Normally, it retails for $559.99, but it’s been marked down to $449 for a while now which is an excellent deal.
Get $20 Off a Super Mario Party + Red & Blue Joy-Con Bundle at Walmart
Who doesn’t love a bundle? Right now, Walmart’s offering a nice deal on a Super Mario Party and Red & Blue Joy-Con bundle. It’s currently available for $79 (the price is shown after adding it to your cart), which is $20 off its MSRP of $99.99. Be ready for your next game night with a fantastic game and additional Joy-Con all ready to go.
Xbox Console & Bundle Deals
The Diablo IV Xbox Series X bundle is still holding on at Walmart, down $92 from its MSRP of $559.99 to $467.99. This has stood the test of time since last Black Friday as one of our favorite console bundles, and is well worth investing in before it’s all gone for good.
Alienware Aurora R15 RTX 4070 Gaming PC for $1399.99
Do you prefer to play on a dedicated tower? Navigating the options online can be a lengthy ordeal. Desk space (or lack of desk space), portability, and price point are often factors in the decision. Utility, function, and fun little extras like RGB capacities or sound-enhancing add-on devices to pair with your PC often make up the list of desired needs. However, there are some great PC deals that pop up every now and again that are worth jumping on before they disappear. One of our favorite deals at the moment is on this Alienware Aurora R15 RTX 4070 Gaming PC, which is down 39% to $1399.99. To see even more PC deals, check out our roundup of the best gaming PC deals.
