The best Christmas sales for gamers 2024: I've handpicked the 27 best PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox deals this holiday season

1. PS5 Slim Digital | $449.99 $374 at Amazon
Save $75 - If you already know you don't need a physical disc drive from the start, it's well worth grabbing this $374 record-low price on the digital edition. This is a holdout from Black Friday, but before then I'd only ever seen $50 off that original price.

Buy it if:

✅ You only download games
✅ You don't have any old PS4 discs
✅ You want to spend as little as possible

Don't buy it if:

❌ You're banking on picking up a disc drive separately

UK: £389.99 £309.99 at Amazon

2. PS5 Slim | $499.99 $424 at Amazon
Save $75.99 - If you want it all from the start, the full disc based console is also available for a record-low price at Amazon. The PS5 Slim has only dipped to $449 in the past, but this holiday sale has it down by an additional $25.

Buy it if:

✅ You have physical discs to play
✅ You want to play your PS4 collection
✅ You want to build a collection

Don't buy it if:

3. Metaphor: ReFantazio | $69.99 $49.99 at Amazon
Save $20 - Metaphor: ReFantazio took its first major price cut just a couple of weeks ago, and it's still available at Amazon. This $20 discount marks a record-low on one of the biggest games of the year.

Buy it if:

✅ You like JRPGs
✅ You enjoyed other Atlus games
✅ You like a deep combat system

Don't buy it if:

❌ You prefer more action

UK: £59.99 £34.49 at Amazon

4. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 | $69.99 $39.99 at Best Buy
Save $30 - Spider-Man 2 had only ever hit $49.99 before last month's sales, but the latest iteration has stuck at this $39.99 record-low for the holidays. That's a fantastic discount on a blockbuster release.

Buy it if:

✅ You like the original games
✅ You enjoy superhero combat

Don't buy it if:

❌ You haven't played Miles Morales yet

UK: £59.99 £34.99 at Very

5. Lego Horizon Adventures | $59.99 $39.88 at Walmart
Save $20 - Lego Horizon Adventures has just dropped to a brand new record low price at Walmart, with this year's Christmas sales taking us all the way down to $39.88. This game was absent from last month's discounts, and this is the first time I've ever seen a significant saving.

Buy it if:

✅ You like the Horizon series
✅ You enjoy Lego style gameplay
✅ You want a laugh

Don't buy it if:

❌ You're expecting full Horizon-style combat

UK: £59.99 £36.99 at Amazon

6. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | $69.99 $39.99 at Amazon
Save $30 - I've seen Final Fantasy VII at $49.99 only a couple of times this year, but Black Friday shunted those numbers all the way down to $39.99 last month. This has been full-price since then, but Amazon has returned to a record-low rate in its latest Christmas sales.

Buy it if:

✅ You've played Remake
✅ You enjoyed the original
✅ You like open world action

Don't buy it if:

❌ You prefer turn-based combat

Price check: Best Buy: $39.99 | Walmart: $39.97

7. Silent Hill 2 | $69.99 $49.99 at Amazon
Save $20 - Silent Hill 2 was down to $30 for a couple of days over Black Friday, but that discount hasn't been seen since. Considering this is a massive 2024 release, this $20 discount is certainly worth a look in this year's Christmas sales.

Buy it if:

✅ You like survival horror
✅ You enjoyed the original release
✅ You also like slower Resident Evil games

Don't buy it if:

❌ You don't like horror

UK: £59.99 £54.99 at Amazon

9. Astro Bot | $59.99 $49.97 at Walmart
Save $10 - Astro Bot is down to a fantastic $49.99 sales price at Walmart - $10 off its $59.99 launch rate. That's impressive considering this is one of the system's biggest releases of the year and it only hit the shelves in September.

Buy it if:

✅ You like light-hearted platforming
✅ You enjoyed Astro's Playroom
✅ You like collectathons

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want more of a platforming challenge

UK: £59.99 £43.99 at Amazon

10. PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of The Mountain Bundle | $599.99 $349 at Amazon
Save over $250 - This is a rare saving on the PlayStation VR 2 system - one that has only appeared a couple of times this year and will likely fade away once this year's Christmas sales are up. You're saving a massive $250 on the Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle, grabbing the entire peripheral for a record-low price.

Buy it if:

✅ You already know you like VR
✅ You liked the original PSVR
✅ There are enough games to tempt you

Don't buy it if:

❌ You're after mixed reality experiences

UK: £529.99 £339.99 at Amazon

11. Xbox Series X Digital Edition | $449 $398 at Walmart
Save $51 - Game Pass heroes should be checking out this $50 discount on the new Xbox Series X Digital Edition. The cheaper console drops the disc drive - but with Microsoft's massive digital streaming service that's not as much of a sacrifice as it is on PlayStation.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a Series X
✅ You don't want to play physical games
✅ You want to play Game Pass with flagship console power

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want to play disc games

13. Xbox Core Wireless controller | $59.99 $39.99 at Amazon
Save $20 - I normally see this $39.99 sales price on the Xbox Wireless controller over Black Friday, but it was a rare find this year. That's why Amazon's current rate is so impressive. You're picking up the super versatile gamepad for its lowest price yet in this year's Christmas sales.

Buy it if:

✅ You don't need pro features
✅ You also want a PC controller

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want more options

UK: £39 at Amazon

14. PowerA Advantage Wired Controller | $44.99 $37.99 at Amazon
Save $7 - It's a smaller saving, but considering this wired controller started life at $44.99, a $37.99 sale price is particularly impressive. It was $3 cheaper last week but this is still a great rate.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a budget extra controller
✅ You still want some premium features
✅ RGB is a priority

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want the best controller feel

15. Nintendo Switch OLED | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | 12 months Nintendo Switch Online | $349.99 $329.99 at Woot
Save $20 - Yes, this OLED bundle was down to $299.99 over Black Friday, but considering a $20 discount on the MSRP of the Nintendo Switch is impressive by itself (and you're still getting freebies included) this is still a fantastic offer. I haven't seen any other retailer discounting this Mario Kart bundle since last month.

Buy it if:

✅ You want to use it handheld
✅ You want multiplayer options from day one
✅ You want to play online

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want to play mostly in docked mode

16. Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 12 months Nintendo Switch Online | $299 at Walmart
While the OLED version of this bundle has dropped off the shelves now, Walmart still has the Nintendo Switch Mario Kart bundle for just $299. That nets you a free copy of the game and a 12 month NSO subscription for the price of the console by itself. While this bundle was $50 off over Black Friday, it still represents excellent value this holiday season.

Buy it if:

✅ You want classic kart racing from day one
✅ You mostly play in docked mode
✅ You want to play online

Don't buy it if:

❌ You mostly play in handheld mode

UK: £349 at Amazon (no Switch Online)

22. Razer Basilisk V3 gaming mouse | $69.99 $39.98 at Amazon

Amazon has brought that fantastic $30 discount back to this feature-packed wired gaming mouse this week, making for one of my favorite Christmas sales on the web right now.

Buy it if:

23. Razer BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed | $129.99 $99.99 at Amazon
Save $30 - The BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed is my go-to gaming headset for most PC players. It offers the same drivers and mic as the far more premium Pro version but at a fraction of the price - and it's even cheaper at Amazon this week. You'll find the wireless cups available for just $99.99, and they've never been cheaper.

Buy it if:
