Prime Day 2025 Gaming Deals: GPUs Below MSRP, 87% Off Games, and OLED Monitors at Record Lows

An RTX 5060 for under $290. A 49-inch QD-OLED ultrawide for $900. A PS5 game for nine dollars. These Prime Day 2025 gaming deals were not hypothetical — they actually happened during Amazon’s July 8-11 event, and some of them were genuinely historic. Whether you were hunting for a GPU upgrade, peripherals to complete your setup, or cheap games to fill your backlog, this year’s Prime Day delivered harder than any sale event we’ve seen in 2025.

I tracked hundreds of Prime Day 2025 gaming deals across Amazon, Newegg, and B&H Photo over the four-day event, and I’ve distilled them down to the ones that actually mattered. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of every category — from GPUs and gaming monitors to keyboards, controllers, and console bundles — with real prices, real discounts, and honest analysis of what was worth grabbing.

Console Games and VR: From $9 PS5 Games to $249 Meta Quest

The console deals during Prime Day 2025 were absolutely ridiculous in the best way possible. The headliner? EA Sports College Football 25 for PS5 dropped to $9 — that’s 87% off a $69 game. Whether you cared about college football or not, nine dollars for a AAA title was hard to ignore.

Other PS5 highlights included Returnal at $29 (57% off) and Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 at $33 (50% off). Nintendo Switch owners could grab Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at $47 (32% off) and Super Mario Bros. Wonder at $44 (25% off) — both rarely discounted first-party Nintendo titles.

For VR enthusiasts, the Meta Quest 3S 256GB + Gorilla Tag Bundle was available at $249, $50 off its $299 retail. As Tom’s Guide’s live coverage noted, this was one of the most popular deals of the entire event.

Pre-Built Gaming PCs and Laptops: RTX 5070 Systems From $1,599

If you preferred buying a complete system, Prime Day 2025 had some compelling options. The MSI Codex Z2 desktop with an AMD Ryzen 7 8700F and RTX 5070 dropped to $1,599 — a massive $600 off (27% discount). That’s a next-gen GPU in a ready-to-go system for under $1,600.

For higher-end builds, the Corsair Vengeance a7500 with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 5070 was $2,399, $500 off its $2,899 retail. The 7800X3D is still one of the best gaming CPUs available, making this a strong combination.

On the laptop side, the Alienware 16 Aurora Laptop with RTX 5060 hit $1,099 — $400 off its $1,499 price. For portable gaming with the latest GPU generation, this was one of the best value propositions of the event. As Tom’s Hardware’s live blog tracked, gaming laptop deals were moving fast and many sold out within hours.

What Made Prime Day 2025 Gaming Deals Stand Out

A few things stood out about this year’s Prime Day compared to previous events. First, the GPU market is finally catching up with demand — seeing current-gen cards below MSRP during a sale event is a strong signal that the pandemic-era scarcity and scalping frenzy are truly behind us. The RTX 5060 and 5070 dropping below their official prices wasn’t just a discount — it was a market correction that’s been years in the making.

Second, OLED monitor pricing has reached a tipping point. Two years ago, a 27-inch OLED gaming monitor cost $1,000+. During this event, you could pick one up for under $470. That’s the kind of price compression that changes buying habits permanently. The Samsung Odyssey G9 at $900 was particularly telling — it suggests that ultrawide OLED will be a mainstream option by late 2025.

Third, the competition between AMD and NVIDIA was fiercer than ever. Both sides offered compelling deals across multiple price points, which forced retailers to actually compete rather than coast on brand loyalty. Consumers who were willing to consider either team walked away with the best deals. The RX 9060 XT at $359 versus the RTX 5060 at $289 gave buyers real choices at different performance tiers.

Fourth, pre-built gaming PCs reached a value threshold that made DIY builds harder to justify. When you can get a Ryzen 7 + RTX 5070 system for $1,599 with warranty and no assembly required, the traditional “build your own to save money” argument starts to weaken considerably.

If you missed these deals, don’t lose hope entirely. Black Friday is only a few months away, and the pricing trends we’re seeing suggest that many of these prices could become the new normal by then — or even drop further. The GPU and monitor markets are clearly trending downward, and competition between retailers is only intensifying. Keep your wishlists ready and set price alerts now.
