Prime Day is a cracking opportunity to tick off some games from your backlog that passed you by, so we've listed out the best-discounted games you can pick up during the current deals extravaganza going on at Amazon.

We've included games for each of the major platforms, so whether you're on PlayStation, Xbox or trying to find something to play on your Switch 2, we have you covered. Thanks to how awkward it is to set filters on Prime to include games and not every gaming accessory you've ever seen, chances are this will be a much easier way to find the best bits on offer.

Where other bargains are available, we've also included prices from other outlets, so you can decide if you'd rather go somewhere else for your games.

Prime Day PlayStation games

When comparing the deals offered for the three major console manufacturers, the deals on PlayStation games are the most generous, featuring some all-time great games alongside incredible bundles, all of which receive aggressive price cuts. Here are our top six picks below:

Prime Day Nintendo Switch games

There are barely any Switch 2 games in the Prime Day sales, which is understandable given how the console is still in its infancy. However, the one that is there is one of the best games of the year - Split Fiction.

There's also a bunch of other games you can grab for the Switch, from classic collections to indie bangers and more. We've included all of the best ones below.

Prime Day Xbox games

Xbox may be the most overlooked of the consoles during this sale, with its selection being considerably smaller than those of its competitors. However, that doesn't mean there aren't still some cracking deals on offer, and these six are the best of the lot.

We’re testing the top tipples from gin distillers all year round, so when we sat down to compile this year’s best Prime Day gin deals list, we were pleasantly surprised to find so many of our favourites discounted for the sales period.

The quintessential British spirit, gin has risen up through the alcoholic ranks to become one of the UK’s most beloved drinks — and there are bargain bottles to be snapped up as the Prime Day sales roll in.

Though the light botanical allure of a gin may make it the perfect summer drink, the versatility of gin actually lets it become a great all-year round tipple. With rich fruity mixes you can easily turn it into a seasonal sip — and what’s more sophisticated than a gin martini to lift that festive party to the next level?

Whether you like your gin with a traditional juniper edge or a full-on fruity concoction, our list of the best Cyber Monday gin offers will have you covered. Our extensive taste testing — which you can find detailed in our best gin guide — means we’re not just picking out the cheapest swill on offer, but instead top price cuts on genuinely delicious liquids.

So grab a glass, chop the cucumber and get those ice cubes freezing — by the time you’ve read this you’ll likely be a delicious bottle of gin richer.

Shortlist has been covering Prime Day for years and know a drink deal when it sees one: and this is definitely one of those.

You can now get 25% off of a bottle of Lagavulin 16 Year Old — which brings the price down to under £60.

One sip of Lagavulin 16 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky and you'll be dreaming of this Scotch dram night after night, with this tipple standing out as a particularly peaty, rich offering.

Back here in the real world, Lagavulin is a top tipple for whisky fans looking for a truly smokey, rich and malty flavour.

A 43% ABV delight, we've now spotted a huge discount on this Scottish dram, with 26% off each and every bottle for a limited time.

Considered a classic around the world over, you might recognise the name from Parks and Recreation where it's a certified favourite of Ron Swanson.

It's also a firm favourite among Shortlist's whisky fanatics.

Currently riding high on our tried and tasted whiskey list, this offering is currently our second best rated whiskey among the hundreds we've tested.

Usually retailing for £83 on Amazon, you can currently pick up a bottle for £62 - that's a huge saving of £22 for a limited time.

A drink we probably wouldn't describe as a whisky offering for the novice drinker, Lagavulin 16 serves up an intensely fruity sweetness on the palate, with long and spicy finish.

Perfect for sipping neat on the rocks, this is very much a benchmark for Islay whiskies - one of our favourite locations for Scotch offerings.

Ideally paired with blue cheese - yes, the punchy taste is a match made in heaven.

Be sure to grab yourself a bottle while this offer lasts - it won't be around for long.
