We’re seeing some excellent gaming deals lining the shelves this weekend, with top picks from PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC gadget line ups sitting at well under $50. That’s perfect if you’re on the hunt for a bargain right now – and with headsets, mice, keyboards, controllers, and games on sale, there’s something for everyone.
One of our favorite gaming deals on offer right now is this $25 discount on the Razer Basilisk V3 mouse. In our experience, it’s the best gaming mouse on the market and it’s down to a record low $44.99 sales price (opens in new tab) at Amazon right now (was $69.99). That’s $15 cheaper than the lowest price we’d previously seen.
PS5 deals are also kicking off this weekend, with Far Cry 6 down to $14.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab) (we don’t expect to see it much cheaper any time soon). Xbox fans can get involved with a $16 discount on Game Pass Ultimate – with three months at just $28.29 at CDKeys (opens in new tab), and Nintendo Switch players can grab an Animal Crossing inspired PowerA Enhanced Wireless controller for just $36.99 (was $54.99) (opens in new tab) at Amazon. We’ve only ever seen that one $2 cheaper in the past.
We’re rounding up all these gaming deals under $50 just below, and plenty more budget picks further down the page. Keep an eye on all these fan favorites over the next few weeks – Prime Day gaming deals are firmly on the horizon.
