Prime Day PS5 deals 2024: Some of the best offers are still live
Somehow, Prime Day PS5 deals have survived...
Prime Day PS5 deals are surprisingly still ongoing, despite the event's official end time on Wednesday. Usually, we see a few deals linger a while after an event like this, but heading into the weekend, we still have discounts on the PS5 console, as well as some of its best accessories and games. If you missed the boat on Black Friday, or you've been weighing up your options with a PS5 Pro or 30th Anniversary collection pre-order, you still have time to make the most of these deals. We wouldn't wait too long though, you never know when they might disappear.
This Prime Day came in ahead of the PS5 Pro launch in November, which means that some Prime Day gaming deals will be of more interest to those looking to get in ahead of the expensive super-powered revision. However, if you're planning on dropping the dough on that model, you're better off looking at extra games and hardware (like SSD boosts, controllers, headsets, and so on) rather than the consoles. However, if you're looking to see how the market changes post-PS5 Pro, Black Friday is just around the corner.
Beyond the deals, we've got a handy FAQ as well explaining the ins and outs of this deal period. But for the most part, browse some of the best deals we've unearthed. Not limited to just Amazon, we've also kept an eye on other retailers who are also slashing prices in response. The same goes for UK readers, who will find equivalent details highlighted where appropriate.

Prime Day PS5 deals
PS5 Slim | $499 $449 at Amazon
If it's a plain-old PS5 you're on the hunt for, Amazon is already running a discount on the Slim model - and the one that comes with a Blu-Ray drive at that. This is back to the lowest-ever price we've seen the PS5 at, so don't wait around.
Buy it if:
✅ You want a PS5
✅ You want to be able to play physical games
✅ A PS5 Pro is of no interest
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't need a disc drive
Price check: Walmart: $449 | Best Buy: $449.99
PS5 | $599 $564.49 at Amazon
Save $35 – Dipping slightly further in price with an extra ten bucks off, this is still a good deal on the regular PS5, complete with a disc drive. Use those savings to treat yourself to a discount PS5 game on offer as well and put the disc slot on Sony's flagship console to good use. If the updated and much more expensive PS5 Pro isn't going to be of interest, this is the one.
Buy it if:
✅ You want to collect hard-copy games
✅ You've always wanted the classic version
✅ You have the space for it
Don't buy it if:
❌ You'd rather wait it out for Black Friday
❌ You crave the PS5 Pro
PS5 Slim Digital Edition+ NBA 2K25 | $499.99 $449.99 at Amazon
Save $50 – Now at a new record low price, this digital-only PS5 Slim bundle comes with a copy of NBA 2K25. It's been marked down by about $50 for Prime Day, so this is a great PS5 deal for any basketball fan on the lookout for a new console.
Buy it if:
✅ You like NBA games
✅ You don't mind having a digital-only console
✅ The PS5 Pro is of no interest
Don't buy it if:
❌ There are Blu-rays you want to watch on PS5

PSVR 2 | $549 $469.99 at Walmart
Save $80 - With a huge saving at Walmart compared to other retailers, this could be your ticket to enter the virtual realm at last. Lightweight, with minimal cables and fantastic bespoke controllers, this is a great piece of kit. No longer limited to PS5, a new PC adapter allows you to use it for VR gaming on PC as well.
Buy it if:
✅ You like VR gaming
✅ You have a gaming PC or PS5
✅ Horizon: Call Of The Mountain, erm, calls to you
Don't buy it if:
❌ VR gaming makes you feel unwell
Price check: Amazon: $529 | Best Buy: $549.99
UK: £495 at Amazon
Prime Day PS5 accessories
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P | $179.99 $123 at Amazon

Buy it if:
✅ You want exceptional sound quality
✅ You want a simultaneous Bluetooth connection
✅ You don't use the USB-C port on your console for anything else.

Corsair MP600 Elite | $99.99 $84.99 at Amazon
Save $15 - This is easily one of the best SSDs money can buy for the PS5, and getting it under its launch price is a welcome bargain this Prime Day. We've noticed this drive sitting at this price for a few weeks now, but for the performance it's capable of, this cost is amazing.
Buy it if:
✅ You want a top-performing SSD
✅ You need more storage space
✅ You'd like something that's simple to install
Don't buy it if:
❌ You've pre-ordered the PS5 Pro

Buy it if:
✅ You like a chunkier controller
✅ You're a fan of microswitch buttons
✅ You need lots of extra buttons
Don't buy it if:

Buy it if:
✅ You love racing games
✅ Want a more realistic driving experience
✅ Looking for an entry-level wheel experience
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't play racing games
Price check: Best Buy: $199.99
PS5 game deals
Grand Theft Auto V | $39.99 $19.99 at Best Buy
Save $20 - Half-price off one of the biggest games of all time, both in terms of scope and sales, is nothing to sniff at. While you can upgrade from the PS4 version, this price isn't far off and you get to have a physical disc to keep. This is a great way to finally jump in, as well.
Buy it if:
✅ You want to play GTA V with PS5 enhancements
✅ You've never played GTA V before
✅ You want a massive open world with online features
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't like GTA games
Price check: Best Buy: $19.99 | Amazon: $23.95

Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden | $59.99 $39.99 at Amazon
Save $9 - Returning to its cheapest price yet, there's never been a better time to jump into the Life Is Strange dev's (ahem) spiritual successor to the underrated Vampyr. What do we do with all things that go bump in the night? Why we (whisper it with me) banish them, of course.
Buy it if:
✅ You want a captivating dark fantasy tale
✅ Are intrigued by ghostly gameplay
✅ Loved Vampyr
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want a Life Is Strange-like, as this is action-heavy
Price check: Walmart: $49.99

Price check: Best Buy: $19.99 | Walmart: $25.71
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown | $49.99 $24.99 at Best Buy
Save $25 - You might have missed saving an extra five dollars on Amazon's discount, but this is still an excellent price for what's both one of the best Prince Of Persia games, and one of the best Metroidvania. From a side-on perspective (just like the original game), you run, jump, and manipulate the world to rescue your prince.
Buy it if:
✅ You like Metroidvania games
✅ You're a Prince of Persia fan
✅ You a blend of platforming and combat
Don't buy it if:
❌ You hate 2D platformers for some reason
Price check: Amazon: sold out | Walmart: $29.98
Dying Light 2 | $59.99 $27.50 at Amazon
Save $31 - Now almost 40 cents cheaper than yesterday! If a coin toss was stopping you from buying this excellent zombie parkour 'em up, then now is the time.

Buy it if:
✅ You played the first game
✅ Zombie games are fun for you

Save $20 - This is the first time we've spotted a major discount for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth since its launch earlier in the year. Although it dropped to $55, we'd argue this is the first deal really worth jumping on.
Buy it if:
✅ You've played (and enjoyed) Final Fantasy 7 Remake
✅ You're a fan of the franchise
✅ You like open-world action games
Don't buy it if:
❌ You haven't played Remake

For us, we'll gladly be the fly in this situation, as this is the cheapest price we've seen on Sony's PS5-defining superhero game. The biggest first-party exclusive for a reason, this is a truly MCU-rivalling romp with excellent web-swinging and brawling.
Buy it if:
✅ You love Marvel and Spider-Man

Prime Day PS5 deals: FAQ
When did Prime Day PS5 deals end?
Prime Day PS5 deals started on October 8, and they officially ended close of play on October 9. If you missed the boat, you do have Black Friday to look forward to. Plus, at this time of year, things go on sale fairly regularly, so you never know, you may find a random deal out in the vast open world we live in.
Do you need a Prime membership for Amazon Prime Day's PS5 deals?
If you're planning to limit your shopping to just Amazon during Prime Day, having a Prime membership, or taking out a free trial is probably a good plan. It might sound silly since Prime Day is an Amazon event, but other retailers are staying competitive these days, and there are plenty of bargains to be had elsewhere. To be safe, we'd recommend that non-members think about the free trial listed below - just time it right so you can cancel after Prime Day and not pay a dime for access to the exclusive deals.
Get a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime
You can collect a free trial of Amazon Prime, which - when timed right - will give you access to all the best offers without putting a penny into the subscription. But even if you're not interested in sticking with it, just go for the trial and then cancel it. Sign up then cancel before the $14.99/£7.99 per month cost kicks in.
What to expect from Prime Day PS5 deals in 2024?
Prime Day PS5 deals can be a great opportunity to claim a new console, some recent games, or some accessories for much cheaper than usual. With Black Friday coming up, alongside the launch of the PS5 Pro and potentially another batch of Prime Day deals, you've chosen a good time to shop around.
The best-value PlayStation 5 deals normally come in the form of bundles. For example, the God of War Ragnarok PS5 bundle dropped by $50 at Amazon last year, from $559.99 to $509. However, the arrival of the Slim model has made discounts on the PS5 console itself quite tricky, because although it's smaller, it's reportedly no cheaper for Sony to manufacture. Now, with the PS5 Pro looming, and conversation about its price dominating the internet, could some discounts be en route?
In terms of games, we often see the most recent big releases dip below the $30 mark. In July's sale, we saw some discounts on games like Stellar Blade, Tekken 8, and Helldivers 2, but more probably, we'll see games from the late stages of 2023 dip in price. The Spider-Man 2 bundle is still going strong at most retailers, but it remains to be seen how this will last through October, or whether new bundles will emerge. If you're only interested in buying some physical games, Amazon will normally be good for them, but keep an eye out for Walmart too.
Accessory deals are a guarantee and might be the best thing to invest in for both sides of the PS5 Pro-consumer debate. If you're disgruntled at a $700 price tag, some accessories will beef up your existing console. If you're already sure you're going to pre-order the Pro model, an October Prime Day could be a chance to grab some more goodies to pair with it for less than full price.
Since the best SSDs for PS5 have been up in price this year so far, we're hoping for big things from October and November. If we can grab 1TB drives for around $60 again, we'll be happy. The best PS5 controllers have gone a bit quiet this year, so with the best gamepads for the platform beginning to age, let's hope we see some nice discounts. Let's all pray to Shuhei that we get a major DualSense Edge discount or a repeat of the PSVR 2 Days of Play deal we saw earlier in the year.
But let's get a bit more specific, shall we? We've provided some example products below for you to keep an eye on if you're keen on more Prime Day PS5 deals this October. Our desired prices are based on discounts from the past, as well as our expectations for October's Prime-exclusive event.

Ever since playing Journey at the age of 15, I’ve been desperate to cover video games for a living. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship over at Expert Reviews. Besides that, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel and Podcast for the last 7 years. It’s been a long road, but all that experience somehow landed me a dream job covering gaming hardware. I’m a self-confessing PlayStation fanboy, but my experience covering the larger business and developer side of the whole industry has given me a strong knowledge of all platforms. When I’m not testing out every peripheral I can get my hands on, I’m probably either playing tennis or dissecting game design for an upcoming video essay. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension. Location: UK Remote
