Amazon October Prime Day: Early Gaming Deals You Can Grab Now

Are you ready to save big on your next gaming upgrade? Amazon's October Prime Day may not officially start until tomorrow, but the deals are already flooding in. Best Buy's TechTober sale is live, Walmart's discounts are popping up, and Amazon is price-matching some offers ahead of time. That means your first major savings opportunity of the season is here, and we've been sifting through the offers to find the ones actually worth your money.

Not all Prime Day deals are created equal. Some gadgets get a percentage off but are still far from their lowest prices of the year. Others are even more expensive than they were just a few weeks ago. With console and PC prices creeping up this year, finding genuine savings is more important than ever. We've been tracking prices year-round, so we know a good deal when we see one.

Here are some of the best early Prime Day gaming deals we've spotted so far. The GameSir Super Nova controller is back at its lowest price ever, perfect for Switch 2 players who want a sturdy, premium-feeling pad without spending a fortune. The Hyperkin Competitor for Xbox is also at its cheapest yet, with a rare $5 discount. And if you're into racing, the Thrustmaster T248 X for Xbox is down to $239.99—a record low.

For PS5 owners, the Turtle Beach Atlas 200 headset has dropped to $34.99, its best price of the year. And the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni just hit $359.99, beating its previous record low by $20. PC gamers can snag the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro for $89.99, just a dollar off its all-time low. Plus, there are deals on games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and Resident Evil Requiem, and accessories like the Belkin charging case for Switch 2.

So when does the main event kick off? Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale starts tomorrow, October 6, and runs for two days, ending at midnight on October 8. But don't expect a four-day marathon like some past Prime Day events—this one is shorter. However, last year's October Prime Day kicked off a wave of discounts that lasted through Black Friday and into November, so this is just the beginning.

Should you wait for Black Friday? That's always the big question. Black Friday is looming, and prices could drop even lower. But with stock uncertain and some of these deals already at record lows, it might be worth grabbing what you need now. After all, you don't want to miss out on a great deal only to see it sell out.

We'll be keeping an eye on all the best gaming deals throughout the event, so stay tuned for live updates. In the meantime, check out our top picks above and snag a bargain before they're gone. Will you be picking up any of these early Prime Day deals? Let us know in the comments!
