Amazon Prime Day is here once again. This time, however, it is called Amazon Prime Big Deals Days, which is more accurate than the singular Prime Day of the past – but there is one way that it is no different from past iterations: there are plenty of gaming hardware deals.
When events like Prime Day roll into town, it’s a great opportunity to get the best SSD for gaming, to add the best gaming headset to your setup, or to grab that piece of hardware you’ve been meaning to buy for months. Well, if you’re a Prime subscriber that is, but if you’re not, you could just take out a Prime free trial (and get all the deals).
This is ideal for anybody who can’t hold out until the Black Friday gaming deals start in November. The Prime Big Deals Days run across October 10 – 11, so bookmark this page and check in to see our cherry-picked list of all the most mouth-watering deals, covering everything from the best gaming mouse to the best gaming monitors. Don’t forget, there’s always the Amazon Daily Deals page too.

What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is two days of deals on almost every single category on Amazon, including PC gaming.

When is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Big Deals Days will take place from October 10 – 11. This is likely to be the last Prime Day of the year, so make sure you don’t miss it.
