Amazon Prime Day is finally upon us, and with it comes a variety of excellent deals on gaming hardware and accessories, not to mention games. This year, you can even pick up some cool odds to round out your gaming setup at home, whether you’re looking to customize your peripherals or boost your Twitch stream production.
While it’s still a bit ambitious to expect discounts on next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, we’re definitely keeping our ears open for restocks of the console at Amazon and other retailers.

We can wholeheartedly recommend the Meta Quest 2 for its ease of use and affordability, but Amazon has also discounted the HTC Vive for anyone who plans to keep their headset connected to a computer.
