My favorite gaming deals from Prime Day 2025: Games, accessories, consoles, and more
2025 has already been a huge year for video games. Between the Nintendo Switch 2 launch and this year's game release schedule, our gaming backlogs are looking downright scary at the moment — not to mention expensive.
Good news, though: Amazon Prime Day is live through July 11. The mid-summer sale always marks a great time to pick up everything on your gaming wishlist at a big discount. I've rounded up a list of my top picks below, and I'll be updating it often as the sale progresses (i.e., check back). Struck-through deals were sold out or expired at the time of writing.
I'll also add that Amazon's listings for the Switch 2 and its Mario Kart World bundle finally went live on the first day of Prime Day this Tuesday, July 8 (over a month after the console's official debut, mind you). They're being sold on an invite-only basis because they're still in such high demand, and all shoppers can request invitations, not just Prime members. If your invite is granted, you'll get an email as soon as your Switch is ready to buy.

Why we like it
Read Mashable's full review of Final Fantasy XVI.
Final Fantasy XVI is unlike any FF game that came before it, and honestly, we think that's a good thing. That's because FFVI is a truly fantastic character action game that combines engaging combat and an intriguing story with the visual spectacle we've come to expect from the series. It's an incredibly worthwhile adventure for all PS5 owners to experience.

Best Nintendo Switch deal
Why we like it
Unfortunately, Nintendo Switch consoles just don't really come with enough onboard storage for those of us who game regularly. You're eventually going to need a microSD card, so why not get one while they're on sale for Prime Day? Right now, you can snag a 128GB card on Amazon for just $15. (If you need even more storage, the 256GB version is about $23.) Just note that these cards will only work with the original Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED.
