The Memorial Day sales floodgates have well and truly opened and we’re seeing massive discounts on all things PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox. That means discounts on everything from games to headsets, controllers to streaming kit, and I’ve just sped through it all.
I’ve spent my day combing through official sales from Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Newegg, and a whole host of gaming brands’ own storefronts. Along my travels, I’ve found 21 deals that stand a cut above the rest. These are all either record-low prices, surprising new discounts on beloved tech, or helpful savings on some of my favorite gadgets on the market.
I’ve been covering major sales events like this for years now, so I’ve picked up a thing or two when it comes to value. Aside from price-watching year-round to make sure the Memorial Day deals below actually do represent solid savings, I’ve had hands-on experience with most of the tech featured here. Where I haven’t personally reviewed an accessory listed below, someone on the GamesRadar+ Hardware Team has. That means you’re not just getting the lowest priced tech from each retailer here – but the highest value discounts on the tech that we actually love and use day to day.
Without further ado, you’ll find a map of the online event just below, and my top 21 picks from this weekend’s entire Memorial Day sale further down.
Today’s best Memorial Day sales for gamers
When will Memorial Day sales end?
This weekend’s Memorial Day sales will officially close out on Monday May 27 at midnight. However, as with previous sales, we expect some prices to linger well into next week. That doesn’t mean we’d recommend waiting for further discounts – the majority of offers will dry up at that midnight cut-off and some might even creep back up towards the end of the day itself. If you spot a price you like this weekend, we’d jump straight in.
Are Memorial Day sales good for gaming?
Memorial Day is typically used for outdoor and home appliance sales, which means gaming gear isn’t a particular focus for retailers. However, many brands jump on the hype to discount their products and we do see plenty of savings for gamers to get involved with. Amazon, for example, doesn’t even have a gaming section on its deals landing page for this year’s sale but we’re still seeing some of the best prices on the web here.
Is Memorial Day a good day for sales?
If you’re on the hunt for new tech in the month of May then, yes, Memorial Day is a good day for discounts on a range of tech and games. It’s not the best day out of the year for those savings, though. In general we see slightly deeper price drops on Prime Day and a wider spread of products on sale during Black Friday.
