The current Amazon Gaming Week sale will officially close out on Sunday May 5, likely at midnight. That means you’ve only got a couple more days to take advantage of this sale - your next chance at savings will be Memorial Day at the end of the month.
As they do with any Amazon sale, the threat of upcoming Prime Day offers loom large. The summer sale, exclusively for members, generally kicks off around the second week of July so we do have a little wait until then. We’re not exactly expecting this year’sPrime Day gaming dealsto significantly better than the offers we’re enjoying at the moment, though. Rather, the scope of discounts will be much wider. If you’ve had your eye on any of the above tech for some time, we’d recommend jumping in - it probably won’t be much cheaper later in the year. However, if you’re still holding out on a gadget that isn’t included in this round of discounts we’d certainly suggest holding out.
Of course, we’re also rounding up all the latestPS5 dealsand topNintendo Switch deals- or take a look at this week’sgaming laptop dealsfor heavier discounts.
