 (Amazon Prime Day)

Amazon Prime Day is back and bigger than ever and for those who have been waiting on the edge of their seat to bag a bargain on gaming essentials, you’re in for a treat.

Each year, the Nintendo Switch deal is eagerly awaited as one of the most coveted items as soon as the sale begins and we expect that this year will be no different.

The two-day sale is taking place from June 21 to 22 and is a real treat for gamers for all your games, consoles and accessory needs. Push your worn-out headset aside, add a new adventure to your rotation and invest in a new controller to replace your one that is falling apart - all at an extremely reduced price.

We all love a deal and if it will get you a brand new crop of must-have tech, then we call that a win-win.

There’s just one small catch - you need to be an Amazon Prime member. For just £7.99 a month (£3.99 for students) or £79 a year, you can have access to the sales, free next day delivery on a seemingly endless selection of items, Prime Video and thousands of ebooks. Commitment-free, there’s also a 30 day free trial.

We’ve gathered the deals to make the most of before the big day.

Best deals on consoles

Nintendo Switch fans, you’re in for a treat. As part of the Amazon Prime Day sale, the retailing giant is offering the covetable console at a fraction of the cost. Over lockdown it comes as no surprise that the device became super popular. At one point, it was actually sold out everywhere where retailers could not keep it in stock. Not only can you now purchase the console but during the sale extravaganza, it comes alongside three epic games so you don’t need to waste any time and get gaming as soon as the items arrive.

Best Xbox games – One/ Series X

With the launch of the Series X late last year, there are deals to be had on a whole host of games designed to match the impressive specs. We’re talking 4K resolution and frame rates of up to 120 frames per second (fps).

But whether you were able to get your hands on the new console or not, you can still elevate your gaming experience with the latest games. The Series X actually has backwards compatibility feature. This means that you can play any previous Xbox generation game and the device augments them with the increased frame rates, higher resolutions and faster loading times.

As part of the Amazon Prime Day, there’s discounts on sought-after games like FIFA 21, Assassins Creed Odyssey with up to 75 per cent off.

Well now all you need is to build up your library with even more games to liven up the playing experience – variety is the spice of life after all.

The Witcher 3, Paw Patrol and the latest release from Just Dance are just some of the big names on offer with discounts of up to 65 per cent.

Best PlayStation4 games (PS4)

For the PlayStation devotees among you, you have the luxury of a whole host of exclusive games but during the Amazon Prime Day sales, they are available at a much more purse-friendly price tag. With the PS5 still relatively impossible to actually find in stock, you can tie yourself over by investing in popular games like LEGO and The Witcher 3 with up to 65 per cent off. It’s a worthwhile investment too as the PlayStation 5 also has a backwards compatibility feature so the games will still work on the newer console.
