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: 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.
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.
