Prime Day slashes prices on Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox games

Prime Day’s gaming bargains arrived just as Amazon opened its four-day sale for Prime members, running from June 23 through June 26. The strongest plays are not blanket discounts across every platform, but the spots where Amazon’s price cuts meet a market still dominated by newer releases and recent hits. That matters because most of the offers are physical copies, with only occasional digital prices that match or beat them.

The clearest context comes from Nintendo’s Switch 2. The system launched in the United States on June 5, 2025 at a suggested retail price of $449.99, and Nintendo is still selling a Switch 2 “Choose Your Game Bundle” for $499.99. That bundle includes the console and a digital download code for one select game, which makes any meaningful Prime Day discount on Switch 2 software stand out more than usual. A platform this new has less room for routine markdowns to hide behind age or inventory turnover.

Amazon’s game pages cover the full console field, including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and digital games. On PlayStation, the current family includes the standard PS5 and the PS5 Digital Edition. On Xbox, the lineup remains the Xbox Series X and the all-digital Xbox Series S. That mix matters because the value proposition changes by format: a physical disc can be resold, shared or traded, while a digital copy is locked to an account but may sometimes be priced equally well during a sale.

That is where the best actual savings usually sit. Recent games are still close enough to launch pricing that a solid discount can be worth taking, especially on PS5 and Xbox titles where physical copies remain common. The deals to skip are the ones that merely shave a small amount off a disc when a digital version is available for the same price. In those cases, the physical copy only makes sense if ownership flexibility matters more than convenience.

For Switch 2 in particular, even modest cuts deserve scrutiny. A console that only arrived in mid-2025 and still anchors a $499.99 bundle leaves less room for routine bargain-bin pricing, so any Prime Day reduction on software tied to Nintendo’s newest system is more likely to be genuinely notable. For readers comparing platforms, the best value is not the largest percentage off, but the biggest gap between what Amazon is charging and what the game would otherwise cost in the format that actually fits the way they play.
