Amazon Prime Day gaming deals are back for the second time this year, offering up a solid amount of discounts about a month and a half ahead of November's Black Friday sales period.

Our favorite PS5 deal has to be the PS5 Slim with EA Sports College Football 25 bundle, netting you the console and game for just $496.99 (was $569.99). Over on the Xbox side, while there are no superb bundles to be had, it's great to see the stalwart Razer Kaira Pro gaming headset come in at $83.03 (was $149.99) for an almost half price saving. Then for Nintendo Switch, we're seeing the first ever major discount for the awesome Nitro Deck+, which is currently on sale for $54.99 (was $69.99).

The Amazon Prime Day October sales may be almost over as we approach the end of the second day, you've still got plenty of time to score one or more of the deals we've outlined below. We believe them to be the best deals we've seen this October, but you may want to take a look at our favorite Amazon Prime Day Xbox Series X deals, Amazon Prime Day PS5 deals and Amazon Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals pages for even more great discounts.
