You don't have to wait until Prime Day 2024 officially begins next week to score some stellar PS5 deals. Instead of major competitors attempting to compete with Amazon during Prime Day, some have swooped in to offer big Prime Day-esque sales first. Walmart's massive deals event kicked off this week alongside Target Circle Week. Plus, Amazon is matching some of the best offers, too. We've put together a list of the best PS5 Prime Day deals you can shop right now, and we'll continue to update this roundup throughout the week and next week during Amazon Prime Day (July 16-17). If you're looking to stock up on PS5 games, now's a pretty great time to do it, as both Target and Amazon are hosting buy two, get one free sales that include recent releases, and, in Target's case, some upcoming games, too. But the best early Prime Day PS5 deal is actually at Walmart. For the next few days, PS5 owners can purchase the DualSense Edge controller at a big discount. It's the first major deal on the high-end, customizable PS5 controller since PlayStation released it earlier this year.
Though everyone can shop the early Prime Day PS5 deals at competing retailers--and Amazon's price-matched deals are open to everyone--official Prime Day offers on PlayStation products will be exclusive to Amazon Prime members. New members can sign up for a free 30-day trial. If you're interested in learning about the current crop of deals for Nintendo Switch and Xbox, you should check out our roundup of the best Prime Day Switch deals as well as our roundup of the best Xbox controller deals--there are some stellar discounts on official gamepads. Switch buyers, in particular, have a lot to consider, with best-ever discounts on hardware, games, and accessories such as: the Nintendo Switch Lite, a Super Mario Party Joy-Con bundle, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and a bunch of exclusive games.
DualSense Edge PS5 Controller
$175 ($200) PlayStation released its first pro-style controller earlier this year. The DualSense Edge is a high-end controller that's great for those who love the DualSense's core features while also craving more customization options. A premium build is complemented by two different styles of detachable rear triggers, three sets of interchangeable thumbstick caps, and support for input modifications such as analog stick dead zones and trigger pull sensitivity. Custom profiles can be saved to the controller, too. The controller and all of its components can be stored in the included (and quite stylish) hardshell carrying case. This is the first significant discount on the DualSense Edge at a major retailer. It's available until Walmart's sale ends on July 11, but it's certainly possible it'll sell out before then. The DualSense Edge is our top pick for high-end controllers in our best PS5 controllers roundup. Well, it's actually tied with the next controller on this list--but this is the one to get if you want to retain all of the DualSense's features while adding customization.
Victrix Pro BFG Controller
Victrix Pro BFG Controller deals
Multiple editions our favorite third-party PS5 pro controller, the Victrix Pro BFG, are on sale right now. The controller features a modular design that lets you swap between aligned and offset stick layouts, switch between three different D-pads, and even replace the normal face buttons and right stick with a six-button microswitch fight pad. It also has four built-in remappable back buttons, adjustable trigger stops, and proprietary software that allows you to create dead zones, recalibrate trigger sensitivity, and more. The Victrix Pro BFG has more customization features than the DualSense Edge, but it doesn't have adaptive triggers or haptic feedback.

You can grab the standard edition black model for $165 (was $180) or the special Call of Duty Midnight Mask edition for $170 (was $200) at Amazon.

Samsung 990 Pro and more PS5 SSDs
The PS5 comes with 825GB of usable space, which is just enough space for a handful of AAA games, depending on the games you play. If you play AAA games regularly, it's a matter of when, not if, your PS5 will tell you that you need to make room. Luckily, you can save on PS5-compatible M.2 SSDs at Amazon and Walmart. Note that third-party drives will need a heatsink in order to work in the PS5. Most of the drives listed below come with a heatsink pre-installed, but some will require you to buy and install one yourself.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P And Nova Pro Gaming Headsets
Our favorite PS5 headset, the Arctis Nova 7P, is on sale at Amazon right now, too.

Both normally cost $180, and aside from of the color difference are identical in design, specs, and quality. You can save even more by picking up a refurbished model for just $90 (normally $100).
