The 25 best Prime Day video game deals: Playstation, Xbox & Nintendo

While the weather is cool and pleasant now, there are plenty of chilly days ahead and you'll want to make sure you've stockpiled your fave indoor entertainment — video games! Well, guess what? Now's the time to add to your collection — Amazon's Prime Day is delivering all sorts of incredible gaming deals, whether you have an Xbox console, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch.

Why a second Prime Day? Well, as Julie Ramhold, Consumer Analyst with DealNews.com, told Yahoo Life: "Retailers really saw over the last couple of years that consumers are willing to shop early — long before Black Friday itself really rolls around." That's going to be especially true this year, what with inflation making predictions about next month's prices on anything a crapshoot. The retail world has caught on; even Walmart has gotten in on the deal-dropping action this week, so we've sorted through the all the gaming options there and at Amazon to round up the best ways to play and save.

But hurry...Prime Day, at least, will be over before you know it — so snatch up these savings before they zap away!
