Amazon Is Having a Secret Sale on Video Games and Gear
If you haven't heard about Amazon Prime Day, you've been living under a rock. But we wouldn't blame you for not knowing about the more low-key sales Bezos & Co. puts on. In fact, these are typically some of our favorite sales from the mega-retailer.
Case in point: For a few more days (until May 4), you can shop Amazon Gaming Week, with deep discounts on gaming laptops, accessories, and of course, plenty of video games. Whether you're a seasoned gamer in need of an upgrade, a rookie working on kitting out your gaming set-up, or someone in between, you shouldn't miss up to 64 percent off editor-tested gear.
We could leave you to peruse the sale on your own, but we'll do you one better. We've broken down the Gaming Week deals worth shopping before prices go back up on Sunday. Hey, a gaming hobby can be expensive—so take advantage.
Gaming is more fun when you're armed with gear that makes playing efficient. Whether you need a new mouse, a headset, or even a mobile controller to maximize your phone gaming skills, plenty of hardware upgrades are up for grabs. This weekend, save $80 on the Corsair headset, "the best sounding gaming headset we've used," or scoop up the Gaming Award winning Elgato Stream Deck Neo, which allows you to seamlessly control everything from your Spotify playlist to your Twitch stream.
If you prefer gaming on your PC, there's no shortage of discounted gaming laptops included in Amazon's sale. When else will you get the chance to shave hundreds off of a model that's been tested by Esquire's resident video game experts? Whether you're in the market for an ultra-thin computer to take on the go or have been eyeing a beefed-up model from a beloved brand like Alienware or ASUS, now's the time to add it to your cart.
After you're finished beefing up your gaming set-up, you deserve a new game or two so you can actually make use of it. Here, save up to 64 percent on everything from editor-loved sports games to childhood favorites for your Playstation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch. For what it's worth, our editors have dubbed MLB: The Show "a downright celebration of America's pastime" and Super Smash Bros Ultimate "far-and-away the best party video game out there."
