Amazon’s annual October Prime Big Deals—affectionately known as Prime Day—swept through from October 6 to midnight on October 7, 2026, bringing a wave of PS5 discounts. While the event is now over, we’re breaking down the best deals that were available, from blockbuster games to refurbished consoles. If you snagged something, congrats! If not, don’t worry—many of these prices will likely return as we march toward Black Friday.
The Biggest Game Deals
Software saw some of the deepest price cuts. Here are the standout physical game deals that were live during the event:
- Pragmata dropped to $39.99, a $20 discount from its $59.99 list price.
- The Blood of Dawnwalker: Day 1 Edition hit $59.49, the first-ever reduction from its $69.99 MSRP.
- LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was $59.99, down from $69.99.
- Resident Evil Requiem Amazon Exclusive Edition slashed to $49.99, a full $20 off its $69.99 sticker.
As Mihaela Kicevski from ConsolePCGaming summarized,
“Pragmata is down to $39.99, a $20 reduction from its $59.99 list price. The Blood of Dawnwalker: Day 1 Edition costs $59.49 instead of $69.99, a $10.50 cut.”
These were all-time low prices for several titles, making it a prime opportunity for anyone looking to bulk up their library.
Console Savings: Refurbished Was the Way to Go
New PS5 consoles unfortunately didn’t get a direct price drop during the sale. The disc edition sat at $649.99, the digital at $599.99, and the PS5 Pro at a lofty $899.99. However, savvy shoppers turned to certified refurbished options for meaningful savings. Amazon offered the certified refurbished PS5 Digital Edition Slim for $499 (down from $599) and the Disc Edition Slim for $549 (down from $649). Additionally, through PlayStation Direct, Sony continued its own refurbished program with a $100 discount off new MSRP. GamesRadar’s Tabitha Baker encouraged console buyers:
“If you’re grabbing a console ahead of GTA 6 you’ll want to head to PS Direct for that $100 ‘discount’.”
While not a flashy deal, it was the most consistent way to save on hardware.
Accessory Deals: Turtle Beach Atlas 200 Headset
One accessory that stood out was the wired Turtle Beach Atlas 200 gaming headset, marked down from $59.99 to just $34.99. It’s an affordable entry point for crisp in-game audio and clear chat, and at nearly half-price, it was a no-brainer pickup for budget-conscious players.
Missed Out? What’s Next
The clock struck midnight on October 7, and those Prime Day PS5 deals officially vanished. As Tabitha Baker noted, “Amazon’s Prime Big Deals event runs from today through to midnight on October 7. That means we have less than 48 hours to jump on these Prime Day PS5 deals.” If you missed the window, take heart: these discounts often reappear—and sometimes get even sweeter—during Black Friday in November. Industry watchers also speculate that a PS5 bundle with GTA 6 could materialize around the game’s November 19 launch and holiday sales, but that remains unconfirmed chatter for now.
