Polygon’s Prime Day Picks
Best PC and Steam Deck deals during Prime Day
iBuyPower SlateMesh pre-built gaming PC
Amazon is offering deep discounts on select pre-built gaming PCs. This one stands out at its price by including an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU, Nvidia RTX 4060 8GB and 16 GB of fast DDR5 RAM.
MSI MAG 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor
If you’re in the market for an OLED gaming monitor, MSI’s MAG 27-inch model is one of the most affordable options available. And yet, you’ll find no compromises in terms of design or performance. This 1440p monitor has a fast 240 Hz refresh rate and comes with a height-adjustable stand.
Corsair MP600 Mini 2 TB M.2 SSD
While much tougher to install than a microSD card, Corsair’s MP600 Mini 2 TB M.2 SSD is worth the effort if you want faster storage for your games. But you’ll likely need some tools, like this iFixit Essentials tool kit for $30, to open up your Steam Deck.
Samsung 1 TB Evo Select microSD card
Slot this into your Steam Deck (or your handheld console of choice) to easily add a ton of extra storage for games.
Fully customize your Steam Deck with the Deckmate suite of accessories. You can mount your Deck, put it on a kickstand, and more.
Elgato Key Light Air
During a video call or a Twitch stream, nothing makes you look better than a good key light. Elgato’s thin, customizable option delivers good direct lighting, or it can be used as bias lighting for a more natural look.
WD_Black 8TB SN850P
You might not realize it, but $800 for 8 TB of fast SSD storage is a heck of a deal. This model can fit any motherboard that has a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot, or the PS5.
This foldable keyboard makes it significantly easier to navigate your Steam Deck’s desktop mode.
Elgato Stream Deck Plus
Once you get a Stream Deck, it’s hard to ever go back. Having a fully customizable panel of LCD keys and a touch strip will make your desktop situation so much more comfortable — and with so many plugins from every app you can think of (not to mention a Stream Deck App and Store), you’ll find plenty to use this for.
Samsung 34-inch curved QD-OLED G8
If you’re looking for proof that OLED gaming monitors are getting cheaper, look no further than this deal at Amazon on Samsung’s 34-inch curved QD-OLED display.
Best Nintendo Switch deals for Prime Day
Nintendo’s latest Switch and Switch OLED bundles offer $79 in free goodies, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a full year of Nintendo Switch Online membership.
Anker Prime 12,000mAh 130 W portable battery
Your Switch’s battery life probably isn’t what it used to be, and if you frequently play on-the-go, this small but powerful portable battery can let you play for longer.
Anker two-in-one USB-C charging cable
For when you’re in the all-too-common pickle of having to recharge your Switch and your phone at the same time, Anker’s 2-in-1 USB-C cable makes short work of the issue.
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1
During Prime Day, Amazon has the best deal around on Konami’s compilation of Metal Gear Solid games, which includes the titular debut, plus its two sequels, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3. The Xbox and PlayStation versions are also discounted.
8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller
Meet the wireless controller that works seamlessly with your Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and PC. The 8BitDo Ultimate uses Hall effect joysticks that are resistant to drifting.
Octopath Traveler 2
It doesn’t matter which of the eight heroes you pick at the start of Octopath Traveler 2. This sprawling throwback RPG gives each character their own compelling arc while intertwining bigger challenges. The PlayStation version is also discounted.
There’s a lot to love in this cutesy, kick-ass sidescrolling title. It’s fun to play alone, but even better is that it supports two-player local co-op. The PlayStation version is also discounted.
Best Xbox deals during Prime Day
EA Sports College Football 25
2024’s best football game doesn’t have “Madden” in the title. Good ol’ collegiate football is back and better than ever in EA Sport’s first college-focused title in a decade. And now, you can get it for over $20 off.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
It might seem weird to see an Amazon Fire TV Stick in the Xbox section, but with the new Xbox app, all you need is a Game Pass Ultimate subscription and a controller to stream games to your TV.
Xbox Series X
It’s smart to wait for a discount on the Xbox Series X. You can find a good one at Best Buy, which has knocked $50 off and includes a $25 gift card.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
One of the earliest surprise gems of 2024, The Lost Crown adapted the Prince of Persia franchise into a gorgeous 2D Metroidvania.
WD Black C50 expansion card
If you need some extra storage for your Xbox Series X or Series S, grab one of WD Black’s C50 expansion cards to at least double your console’s storage.
Xbox wireless controller
Over at Woot, you can save on a black Xbox wireless controller that includes a USB-C cable, in case you want to link up to your Xbox or PC with a trusty wired connection.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
Over at Woot, you can get a deal on 1- or 3-month subscriptions to Game Pass Ultimate, then get an additional 20% off when you use the code SAVE20 at checkout.
Best PlayStation 5 deals for Prime Day
PlayStation 5 Slim
For Prime Day, Sony is knocking $50 off the usual cost of its PS5 Digital Edition. This rare discount only shows up a couple of times per year.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
During Prime Day, Amazon is knocking a sweet $20 off the cost of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second (and PS5 Pro-enhanced) installment in Square Enix’s impressive reimagining of the original PS1 classic.
WD_Black SN850X with heatsink
WD_Black’s 4 TB version of the SN850X is a heck of an SSD for your PS5, bringing all of the storage you may be looking for.
Sony Inzone Buds
Sony’s own InZone Buds include a wireless transceiver that can push audio from your PS5, PC, or mobile phone. However, it’s their high performance that sets them apart, with booming sound and effective noise cancellation.
Backbone One 2nd Gen mobile gaming controller
The best phone controller is 30% off for Prime Day, and for PS5 owners, it’s a much more affordable alternative to the PlayStation Portal. It’s compatible with all USB-C phones, be it an iPhone or Android device.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
You’re not alone if you missed Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora when it launched (there were a ton of great games in 2023). If you want to give the game a chance and see what it’s like to fight and fly as a Na’vi, you can buy it for the lowest price we’ve seen yet.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
The second installment in Respawn’s excellent third-person action series is available for the lowest price we’ve seen yet. Also available at this price for Xbox.
PlayStation Portal
For a limited time, the Portal in like new condition is $60 off the new price when you buy through Amazon’s Renewed store.
