Amazon is a bastion for discounts, deals and sales events, and not just during the soon-to-arrive Prime Day. It’s constantly offering smaller, more focused events, including this week’s Amazon Gaming Week. Even though the main category of gaming is narrow, the types of products available are broad. You can find everything from Wi-Fi upgrades for better online gaming, new PC parts to bring you up to current standards and, of course, a collection of new and older games. But you better shop fast; the sale ends on May 5.

Hori Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Charge Stand
Keeping your controllers charged can be a hassle, especially if you share multiple controllers with a full house. This charging stand can charge two sets of Joy-Cons at once, which for the right game means four players can play. It’s 14% off.

Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S
The Xbox Series X and S consoles use a unique system architecture for their data storage. If you want to expand your storage without sacrificing loading times, you need to use one of these special storage expansion cards. The 1 terabyte size is 13% off and the 2 TB size is 37% off.
Seagate Portable External Hard Drive
Alternatively, you can get a regular external hard drive. Because its a hard disk drive instead of a solid state, its loading times will be slow. But, it can also hold up to 5 terabytes of data, which is far more than an Xbox or PlayStation can ever hold naturally.
Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 RAM Expansion
As gaming progresses and gets more complicated, the more demands are made of your gaming setup. This RAM expansion adds 16 gigabytes, which can dramatically hasten your computer’s performance. You can also get 8 GB, 32 GB or even 64 GB.
Samsung 980 Pro SSD with Heatsink
An alternative to using external hard drives for more storage is to upgrade your internal storage instead. This process is a little more intense, but it will give you faster loading times than any external device can. It comes in 1 TB and 2 TB sizes.
If you’re not the type to regularly upgrade components as they age, you can instead consider an entirely brand-new, pre-built PC. This one runs an Intel Core i7 processor with an RTX 4060 TI graphics card and 8 GB of random access memory (RAM).
Logitech G502 Hero Gaming Mouse
