Once again Amazon Prime Day (now known as Amazon Big Deal Days) is nearly upon us, with the two-day sales event starting on October 8 and running until October 9. During the sale, we expect to see some fantastic discounts on Switch games, headsets, cell phones, MicroSD cards, and pretty much everything you’d need for gaming on the go.
Having spent almost a decade following all the best Prime Day deals, we have plenty of experience when it comes to picking valuable deals that offer genuinely good savings. We expect this year’s sale to include all the best Switch controllers and best mobile game controllers, in addition to plenty more mobile gaming buys.

Amazon Prime Day FAQs:
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is one of Amazon’s biggest sales events of the year; it consists of a two-day event with deals site-wide across the retailer, including lots of great mobile gaming deals, from games to gaming accessories.
When is Amazon Prime Day?
This year Amazon Prime Day will take place from Tuesday, 8 October, through Wednesday, 9 October. If you’re lucky, there may be some Prime Day deals that run after the event is over too, but as a rule, if you want a deal that appears during the event, it’s a good idea to get it ASAP.
How does Prime Day work?
You need to sign up for an Amazon Prime membership and you can access all of the deals across the entire website. Amazon often also runs lightning deals alongside regular sale items. These have extra low prices that last until the product is out of stock, this can take between minutes and hours, so keep your eyes peeled.
How do I get the best Prime Day deals?
Unlike other deal days, you need an Amazon Prime membership to benefit from Amazon Prime Day. Sign up to Amazon Prime and get a free 30-day trial if you’re not already part of the Prime gang.
