With deals on the best gaming consoles rare, buyers highly anticipated Amazon Prime Day on October 8th-9th. Adding to the anxiousness of Xbox fans, the event came shortly before the release of new Series X|S consoles. Not only is there high interest in these gaming systems, but a wide range of accessories is also in demand. Prime Day is now over, but a healthy list of discounts is still available.

Xbox Series X Digital vs Disc: Which Console Should You Buy?
The Xbox Series X Digital looks to capitalize on the popular Game Pass service. Is Microsoft’s upcoming console worth sacrificing a disc drive?
As is often the case, top Prime Day deals included Xbox controllers, headsets, and games. TVs are always hot items and are necessary to fully appreciate the latest graphically impressive titles. Even though there aren’t many specific TVs or monitors made for the Xbox, some displays maximize Series X visuals better than others. Game Rant has hand-picked the best After Prime Day buying opportunities to build the perfect Xbox gaming setup.
Best Prime Day Xbox Series X|S Deals Still Live
Xbox Series X Digital
One of the best Post Amazon Prime Day deals is on the new Xbox Series X Digital, available on October 15th. Priced at $50 less than the standard Xbox Series X, the new all-digital console is the perfect way to play Game Pass titles or stream movies. The other major change is with its Robot White color, which matches trendy white gaming setups. Although physical media won’t be an option for players, there is no shortage of free and paid content to enjoy.
Xbox Series S Robot White 1 TB
Another new Xbox console launching shortly after Prime Day is the Robot White Xbox Series S with 1 TB of storage. The Series S is a cost-effective way to experience the latest Xbox titles in digital form. Microsoft has upped the storage from the previous white Series S to 1 TB to ensure plenty of space for Game Pass titles. At a reduced price, gamers can still access cutting-edge Xbox features like 120 fps gameplay and Quick Resume.
Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S 2 TB
$200 $250 Save $50
Xbox Series X storage options are limited, so gamers always anticipate Prime Day discounts on officially supported solutions. The 2 TB Seagate Expansion Card slots into the back of the console and instantly clears space for game installs and downloads. This SSD acts just like the Series X internal storage by supporting Xbox Velocity Architecture. Gamers can boot and store titles confidently since a three-year warranty backs the 2 TB Seagate Expansion Card.
EA Sports College Football 25 was one of the most hyped sports game releases in recent memory. To the delight of fans, it doesn’t disappoint with stunningly realistic animations and representations of real college teams and stadiums. Gamers can lead their favorite programs through an entire season, including recruiting, regular season, and bowl games. Following Prime Day, the Xbox physical disc version remains significantly discounted.
Samsung 65-Inch S90D 4K OLED TV
$1400 $2197 Save $797
The Samsung 65-inch S90D 4K OLED TV is the ideal display for experiencing next-gen Xbox Series X graphics. With OLED technology, contrast levels are unmatched, and HDR+ enhanced colors make games pop out from the flat screen. The S90D has numerous modes that detect the type of gaming content and adjust video accordingly to maintain stutter-free gameplay. With the Samsung Gaming Hub, players have an easy way to play Xbox Cloud Gaming titles.
Gamers don’t usually look for pre-order deals on or after Amazon Prime Day, but it’s worth reserving the Xbox Series X Digital while supplies last. Despite the controversial lack of an optical drive, all-digital consoles are here to stay, with the much more expensive PS5 Pro soon to follow. The Series X Digital is one of the cheapest routes to authentic high refresh rate 4K gameplay. Microsoft has been preparing for the release of the Robot White console for years, with an incredibly diverse lineup of Game Pass titles. The new console will ship on October 15th and includes a white Xbox Wireless Controller to match.
The new Series S is an even more affordable option as part of Microsoft’s trio of consoles that will launch shortly. For the first time, gamers can add a Robot White Series S with 1 TB of upgraded storage to their setups. Unlike the Series X, the Series S only upscales to 4K resolutions but has advantages like improved portability. For console gamers using 1440p monitors or smaller 4K displays, it’s unlikely they will complain about graphical fidelity. Given the popularity of the Series S, pre-order stock at Amazon may not last until its mid-October release date.
With the new Xbox Series X Digital nearly here, some gamers are concerned about running out of storage space. Since Microsoft restricts external drives, the 2 TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card is one of the only ways to boot Series X titles. After inserting the card on the rear of Series X or S consoles, gamers are free to purchase a slew of new cutting-edge digital titles. Seagate’s Xbox SSD matches the speed of the Series X’s internal storage and supports features like Quick Resume.
Football fans are being well-treated after Prime Day with sales on EA Sports’ latest two pigskin entries. EA Sports College Football 25 lets Xbox gamers take control of their favorite college team and draft their way to glory. Animations are among the most realistic ever seen in a sports game, while the atmosphere of famous stadiums is replicated with startling accuracy. If the pro game is a player’s preference, Madden NFL 25 simulates NFL competition with the same degree of precision.
Gone are the days when large OLED 4K TVs demanded exorbitant price tags. The 65″ Samsung OLED S90D has everything an Xbox gamer would need from a display. It’s capable of a 120 Hz refresh rate at 4K, and new AI features detect a game genre and adjust settings accordingly. The S90D is remarkably bright with above-average viewing angles, making it suitable for any environment. This OLED TV even supports the Xbox Cloud Gaming app, giving access to a massive collection of older and newer titles.
Best Prime Day Deals on Xbox Series X|S Controllers and Storage Still Live
Pro-style controllers typically offer better build quality and more customization than cheaper options. The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core is an obvious target for gamers looking to enhance gameplay on a new or existing Xbox console. Buyers won’t receive all the modular sticks and paddles included with the standard Elite Series 2 but will appreciate the Core’s enhanced grips. Gamers gain access to additional software customization for buttons and the ability to store up to three profiles on the controller itself. Also, the wireless controller has its own built-in battery, avoiding the need to deal with AA batteries.

Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Wireless Controller Review
The Razer Wolverine V3 wireless Xbox controller has been released and it might be the most advanced controller ever made.
The Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma is one of the most advanced wired controllers ever designed. It boasts excellent build quality and the spiffy RGB lighting gamers look for in Razer keyboards and mice. More importantly for esports pros, the Wolverine V2 Chroma has four remappable back buttons plus two unusual mini bumpers on top of the controller. Its D-pad and face buttons resemble mechanical switches, and it’s possible to adjust the actuation distance of the standard triggers.
Some affordable controllers can add more flair to a gaming setup than high-end competitors. The GameSir Kaleid Flux, reviewed by Game Rant, has a unique transparent casing that makes extensive RGB lighting more visible. However, the Kaleid Flux also boasts several pro-grade features, like Hall Effect analog sticks that resist stick drift. Gamers will also find easily accessible back paddles that can be remapped to various commands. Another way the Kaleid Flux distinguishes itself is with more subtle areas of vibration, including in its grips.
Some rechargeable battery solutions are never enough for dedicated Xbox players who game all day or night. Following Prime Day, Amazon is offering a bundle that includes four high-capacity rechargeable battery packs and a charger with four slots. With several fully charged batteries always on standby, controllers will never run out of power. This Oivo Xbox accessory also grabs attention with LED charging status indicators and snazzy green RGB lighting.
Sadly, only a handful of expansion cards act as official Xbox Series X|S SSDs, but external storage is far from useless. Gamers are able to play Xbox One and older titles from the 2 TB Seagate Game Drive for Xbox, which connects to consoles through USB 3.2. Transfer speeds lag well behind most SSDs, but it’s difficult to find Xbox-approved storage that’s a better value. The Game Drive is also fairly portable and has a design that matches black Xbox gaming systems perfectly, highlighted by a green LED light bar.

BENGOO G9000 Stereo Gaming Headset
$19 $36 Save $17
As impressive as the JBL Quantum 910X is, Xbox fans can save considerable funds by purchasing a wired headset. The JBL Quantum 400 is much lighter with luxurious PU leather-covered memory foam ear cushions. For this Post Prime Day deal, the Quantum 400 is an affordable way to experience immersive surround sound in games like Starfield. In multiplayer titles, the flip-to-mute boom mic does an excellent job of filtering out background noise. For buyers who game on multiple platforms, the Quantum 400 connects to Xbox controllers through an analog audio cable or PCs and PlayStations with a USB adapter.
The WolfLawS X3 is a budget wireless headset with powerful sound outputted by 50 mm drivers. The wireless adapter slots into the bottom of official Microsoft Xbox controllers and maintains a reliable, low-latency connection. Considering its very reasonable asking price, the comfort of the X3’s leatherette ear pads is more than acceptable. The headset is styled in green and black to please Xbox gamers, but the X3 pairs with nearly every other console and PCs. Bluetooth connectivity is another unexpected bonus, making the headset an option for mobile devices.
For the most cash-strapped Xbox players, the wired Bengoo G9000 has served gamers well for many years. The G9000 connects to Xbox controllers with a heavy-duty cable that has proven to stand the test of time. However, gamers using controllers will need to find a creative way to power the headset through the additional USB connection. An inline volume controller on the cable allows players to easily adjust sound levels without accessing the Xbox control panel. The G9000’s 40 mm drivers pump out sound with plenty of bass but don’t overwhelm mid and high tones in complex gaming soundscapes.

The Best Controllers for Fighting Games That Help You KO Opponents
Fighting titles represent one of the most resilient genres of games. Make sure to purchase a fighting controller that can stand the test of time.
For Street Fighter 6 players who aren’t completely satisfied, Tekken 8 is seeing one of its most significant discounts yet. Tekken fighting games are often easier for button-mashers to find success in before becoming more technical and difficult to master. The game’s other strengths include more customizable Tekken characters, multiple modes, and an engaging single-player experience. Graphics and sound are top-notch, with the new Heat System creating tense confrontations whether playing the CPU or with multiplayer opponents.
Retro arcade cabinet junkies will find it hard to resist Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge at its slashed after Prime Day price. This physical Xbox One release also works on Xbox Series X|S consoles with enhanced optimization. As expected, the beat ’em up gameplay is accessible enough for even six younger gamers at a time to enjoy. Still, the levels across campaign and arcade modes are surprisingly detailed, with plenty of easter eggs to discover.
Racing fans are hardly forgotten after Prime Day with LEGO 2K Drive, a family-friendly romp through Bricklandia. Gamers of all ages can create their dream LEGO racer in a well-stocked garage and enter them in various single and multiplayer challenges. However, these aren’t standard race cars since they transform into street, off-road, and water vehicles. In this special Post Prime Day bundle, Xbox gamers receive a LEGO set to assemble real-world versions of these unique racing machines.
Fans of tiny Matchbox cars are also in luck after Prime Day, with the new Matchbox Driving Adventures for Xbox discounted. Speed is necessary for many missions, but the game focuses more on challenges like rescue missions and exploring rather than racing. A wide variety of authentically modeled Matchbox vehicles suit the many different tasks. While driving in urban, jungle, and mountain settings, players will never run out of things to do in this Matchbox game.

G-STORY 14″ Portable 1080p Monitor for Xbox Series S
$220 $300 Save $80
The Samsung 85-inch QN90D QLED 4K TV is a hot item after Prime Day because of its cutting-edge gaming capabilities and outstanding image quality. Xbox players can easily run titles at 120 Hz with a gaming mode that makes frantic action seem even more fluid. The QN90D also impresses with its 4K upscaling performance, so even older Xbox One titles look fantastic. This Samsung TV’s panel doesn’t provide the widest viewing angles but otherwise remains crystal clear in bright rooms.
The 48-inch LG Class EVO C4 is one of the most compact ways to discover the advantages of larger OLED TVs. With NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium, this C4 is almost small enough for gaming desks but thrives in modest-sized living and bedrooms. Not cutting any corners, all four HDMI ports are 2.1, enabling the Xbox Series X to output 4K 120 Hz signals. HDR brightness is far higher than most cheaper displays, allowing the set to display an extremely wide color palette. Lag is nearly undetectable, especially when gamers enable Game Optimizer.
Audio is often overlooked with 4K TVs, but not everyone has room for a large screen and surround sound system. The TCL 75-inch QM7 QLED 4K Smart QD-Mini LED TV includes a built-in subwoofer and is IMAX-certified for convincing Dolby Atmos spatial audio. Of course, this TCL set also wows Xbox gamers with excellent peak brightness and a more-than-average number of dimming zones in its price range. The QM7 series seamlessly handles fast-moving gameplay with Game Accelerator 240 and embraces 120 Hz refresh rates.
Another option for Xbox fanatics who enjoy PC gaming is the Asus ROG Strix XG32UQ 32-inch 4K monitor. Thanks to a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports, Xbox users can enjoy 4K gaming at 120 Hz. Buyers can find cheaper 4K monitors, but IPS panels, like this ROG Strix 32-inch monitor, provide superior color accuracy and viewing angles compared to VA displays. Owners are able to easily switch between HDMI and DisplayPort sources if a gaming PC is part of a setup. Most monitors lack smart app functionality, but the discounted Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K solves that issue and makes Xbox Cloud Gaming a possibility.
The Xbox Series S is a reasonably small console, but finding a monitor suitable for traveling is challenging. G-Story addresses this dilemma with the 14″ 1080p Gaming Monitor for the Xbox Series S. Unlike most portable monitors, G-Story’s solution seamlessly attaches to the top of the console to occupy minimal space. The 1080p screen is surprisingly vibrant with HDR support and maintains smooth gameplay thanks to Freesync. However, the monitor also has a pair of HDMI ports to work with laptops and other gaming systems.
