Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Discounts PS5 Games Through October 7
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale runs October 6-7 with Prime-exclusive PS5 game discounts, including Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth at $16.99 and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds at $19.99, while Best Buy and PlayStation Direct offer refurbished console deals ahead of GTA 6.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale is live, and PlayStation 5 owners have a narrow window to pick up some of 2026's biggest releases at reduced prices. The offers are exclusive to Prime members and run from October 6 to October 7, giving shoppers just two days to take advantage of discounts on a slate of critically acclaimed titles.
The standout deal is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PS5 for $16.99, a price that delivers well over 100 hours of content for less than $17. Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is also discounted to $19.99, meaning both games can be purchased together for under $40. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is another substantial markdown at $19.99, a $50 reduction from its list price, offering a lighter alternative for players who have spent dozens of hours in this year's larger role-playing games.
Several of 2026's most talked-about releases are also part of the promotion. Star Wars: Zero Company has dropped to $47.99, saving $12 and marking its first major discount since launch. The Blood of Dawnwalker is down to $59.49, more than $10 off its $69.99 manufacturer's suggested retail price. Both titles earned 9 out of 10 scores in IGN reviews. Pragmata is available for $39.99, while LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is priced at $59 and Resident Evil Requiem at $49.99.
Access to these prices requires an Amazon Prime membership. New members can sign up for a 30-day free trial, while past members can join for $15 for one month. Students and anyone under 24 are eligible for a six-month trial at no cost, followed by 50 percent off an annual membership.
For those seeking a console rather than games, the best current offers come from Best Buy and PlayStation Direct rather than Amazon. Best Buy is selling a refurbished 825GB PS5 for $549.99, a $100 saving compared with a new unit. The retailer is also offering a $50 reward certificate to customers who bundle a Grand Theft Auto 6 preorder with an eligible PlayStation 5 or Xbox console, including the refurbished model. The promotion requires a free My Best Buy membership, though the certificate will not arrive until around November 25, 2026, meaning buyers must wait several months to use the credit. Premium My Best Buy tiers cost $29.99 or $199.99 per year.
PlayStation Direct offers a certified refurbished PS5 for $549 and a refurbished PS5 Digital Edition for $499. At the same price as Best Buy's refurbished unit, the PS Direct option provides the newer PS5 design with 1TB of storage, but forgoes the $50 reward certificate. The $499 digital edition is a compelling choice for buyers whose primary motivation is preparing for GTA 6, though a disc-drive console preserves access to used games and physical discounts.
The timing of these promotions reflects a broader push by retailers to capture spending ahead of what is expected to be one of the year's largest game releases. With the sale ending October 7, Amazon's PS5 game discounts represent the most immediate opportunity for Prime members, while console buyers have until the GTA 6 launch to weigh the trade-offs between the Best Buy bundle and PlayStation Direct's refurbished hardware.
