Cyber Monday has arrived, and with it a host of special deals and offers. While some are holdovers from last week’s Black Friday festivities, many are entirely new.
One of the biggest sectors for deep Cyber Monday savings is gaming—from PS4 and Xbox One to PC, VR, and Nintendo Switch, every platform is seeing hefty discounts. We’ve assembled our favorite Cyber Monday deals right here so you can see the best prices on bundles, subscriptions, games, and more.
Note: We will update this post with new deals as we find them. If an item is no longer at its deal price or sold out, we cross it out. Deal prices sometimes return and items come back in stock faster than we can update, so it never hurts to check for yourself.
Updated December 2: We added a couple retailers to some deals and adjusted pricing on others.

Gaming Hardware Deals
There’s a lot more to a good gaming setup outside of consoles and their respective games. We have guides to the best wireless gaming headsets, (wired headsets too), as well as a roundup of the best gaming mice. Below are some of the top deals we’ve seen so far.
SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC Wired Gaming Headset for $180 ($70 off)
The Steelseries Arctis Pro reigns supreme as the best overall gaming headset (read our review). With its comfy design, strong build quality, and plethora of fancy features, it’s definitely worth considering if you have a bigger budget.
SteelSeries Arctis 7 for $100 ($50 off)
The Arctis Pro might be the best, but the Arctis 7 is a solid contender if you have a smaller budget, specifically for PC gamers. It comes with a 3.5-mm cable, the retractable mic lights up red when muted, and the SteelSeries Engine app lets you control features like mic monitoring. It helps that it’s very comfortable to wear. (We don’t recommend it for PS4 because the mic is quiet.)
Razer Nari

If you don’t want to spend that much on a gaming headset, check out the Razer Nari, which our reviews editor, Jeffrey Van Camp, said is bulky but comfortable to wear. There’s no mic monitoring so it can be hard to tell how loud you’re talking, but the earcups isolate noise well and they sound good. The Nari works with PS4 and PC, but if you have an Xbox One, you’ll need to spend a lot more for the Nari Ultimate.
Astro A10 Gaming Headset for $50 ($10 off)
For console and PC gamers on a budget, the Astro A10 is a thrifty choice. Though basic in functionality and design, this headset has good sound quality and a comfy build, making it a solid choice for most situations.
Logitech G903 SE Wireless Gaming Mouse for $65 ($85 off)
Logitech’s G903 is great mouse thanks to its smart customization options, (virtually) delay-free wireless reactivity, and impressive tracking accuracy.
Razer Mamba Wireless Gaming Mouse for $50 ($29 off)
There’s a reason the Razer Mamba is the top pick in our best gaming mouse guide. It’s beautifully ergonomic, it feels nice in the hand, and the buttons are in the right places. It works wired or wireless, and it will last a long time, according to our reviewer, Jess Grey.
MSI Optix G27C4 FreeSync Gaming Monitor for $178 ($72 off)
MSI’s gaming monitor has a 165-Hz refresh rate, ensuring your games look silky smooth on the LCD screen, and the 1-ms response time means it’s ideal for fast-paced games. The screen resolution isn’t as high as we’d like—the 1,920 x 1,080 resolution might look a little stretched on a 27-inch screen— but the deal makes it decent value.
Alienware Cyber Monday Sale
Alienware is having a big in-house Cyber Monday sale on its top-of-the-line, ultra-expensive gaming PCs. If you’ve been saving up a ton of pretty pennies to buy an Alienware Aurora desktop or Alienware Area 51m gaming laptop, now’s the time. Use the coupon code SAVE12 at checkout.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Machine for $350 ($50 off)
Want a blast of nostalgia? An arcade machine will do the trick. This one lets you play the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time. Just be sure you have the room for it in your house or apartment. If it’s on the pricier end, there are discounts on other arcade machines, like the Galaga Arcade Machine, which costs $150 ($150 off).
Game Deals
We’ve picked the games on this list because we love them and they’re currently enjoying steep sales. We’ll update the list as more great sales crop up, but for now, here are some standout choices.

Nintendo Switch Deals
Nintendo hardware and games rarely see discounts, which is why it’s a good idea to act on them when prices dip. Check out our best Switch games guide and our best Nintendo Switch Accessories guide to ensure a rich experience.
Nintendo Switch (New Model) with Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and Starlink for $299 ($120 off)
We’ve finally received a Nintendo Switch deal worthy of Cyber Monday. This bundle includes two great games, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and Starlink: Battle for Atlas, all for just the base cost of the Switch ($299). If you want to save money on games, this is the bundle to grab.
Nintendo Switch (New Model) + 128 GB Micro SD Card + 3rd Party Controller for $299
This isn’t really a discount off the normal Switch price, but we’ll take anything we can get. You must buy a MicroSD card with the Switch or you’ll quickly run out of space, so it doesn’t hurt to take this free one. The controller may also be crappy. We don’t know, but hey, it’s free.
Nintendo Switch Lite for $199 with free $25 GameStop promo credit
Though this isn’t a discount on the Switch Lite itself (there hasn’t been a substantial one yet), it is a way to score $25 in Amazon credit for free, which can help take a big bite out of the cost of a Switch game to accompany your Lite. Use the code “UUDDLRLRBA” during checkout to score this deal. GameStop also has a similar deal, and the $25 gift card can only be used at GameStop.
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons for $67 ($13 off)
Extra controllers are always handy to have around if a friend happens to come over and wants to play multiplayer games like Mario Tennis Aces and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
PlayStation 4 Deals
The PlayStation 5 is on the horizon for 2020, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t indulge in a PS4 and its roster of fantastic games, many of which we’ve rounded up in a handy guide. Be sure to check out the best PS4 accessories guide to enhance your experience.
PS4 Pro + Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for $299 ($100 off)
If you’re shopping for the most powerful PS4 on the market, the PS4 Pro is $100 off for Cyber Monday. Allowing you to game in 4K resolutions and play many games with a steadier frame rate than the standard PS4, the Pro is worth checking out; being bundled with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare just sweetens the pot.
1 Year of PlayStation Plus for $45 ($15 off)
Want to play PS4 games with your friends online? You’re going to need a PlayStation Plus subscription. The subscription comes with “free” games each month that you can play as long as you’re a member, which helps balance out the subscription’s asking price.
Sony PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 Controller for $39 ($26 off)
If you’re looking for a spare PS4 controller, Walmart is discounting them in a myriad of styles and colors.
Xbox One Deals
The PS4 might have enjoyed a stronger roster of games since its debut, but Microsoft has been bringing great titles to Xbox fans in the past few years, many of which you can find in our best Xbox One games guide. The sales we’re seeing aren’t amazing, but many of the hardware bundles below come with new games like Jedi: Fallen Order.
Xbox One S + Sea of Thieves, Fortnite, Minecraft for $150 ($100 off)
If you don’t need to play Xbox games in the highest resolution possible (meaning you don’t have a 4K TV), then the Xbox One S is the way to go. This All Digital edition doesn’t have a disc drive, which means you can play digital games only. It comes with Fortnite: Battle Royale, Sea of Thieves, and Minecraft.
Xbox One X + Jedi: Fallen Order for $349 ($150 off)
Star Wars fans looking to adopt Microsoft’s most powerful console ever can get it with a copy of Jedi: Fallen Order Deluxe Edition in the process. It’s a brand new Star Wars adventure and looks stunning when played in 4K, meaning the Xbox One X is a great console to experience it on. If you don’t care about 4K and want a cheaper option, the Xbox One S Jedi: Fallen Order bundle is also getting a discount, bring its price to $199 ($100 off).
Xbox One X Gears 5 Limited Edition Bundle for $349 ($150 off)
Microsoft’s snazzy, limited edition Gears 5 console bundle includes a limited-edition variant of the Xbox One X with special translucent casing, a stylized Xbox controller, and all five main Gears of War games (sorry, Gears of War: Judgment), as well as a month-long trial of Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold.
3 Months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $27 ($18 off)
Gamers who don’t mind subscription services can get three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for just $25. Game Pass Ultimate allows you to play full versions of hot releases like The Outer Worlds, as well as other AAA hits like Gears 5 and Metro Exodus. So if you need an easy way to catch up on all the latest games, Game Pass is a good way to go.
1 Month of Xbox Live Gold for $1 ($9 off)
You need Xbox Live Gold to play online with your friends, so 90 percent off the all-but-mandatory service’s usual per-month fee is an absolute steal. For 100 pennies, you can play online multiplayer for an entire month and receive a few “free” games courtesy of Microsoft, since games are part of the XBL Gold service.
Xbox One Controller for $39 ($30 off)
Controllers can be surprisingly pricey, but they’re a necessity if you want to play local co-op games with friends. Walmart is discounting Xbox controllers in various styles, so find the color and look that suits your gaming ethos.
VR Deals
Virtual-reality gaming is in a weird place right now. There isn’t a compelling reason to buy a system—there aren’t enough enthralling games—and most high-end headsets require a powerful PC to power them. Still, the technology is improving. We’ve selected some of our favorite headsets below, but check out our best VR headsets guide for more options.
HTC Vive Pro Starter Kit for $800 ($300 off)
If you’re looking for Cyber Monday savings on a premium VR experience, HTC’s Vive Pro (read our review) has one of the biggest discounts. The starter kit includes the Vive Pro headset, two SteamVR base stations, and two controllers. You’ll need a lot of space and a powerful PC to get the most out of this starter kit, and it’s on the pricier end of the spectrum, but the Vive Pro’s performance trumps most other VR headsets on the market.
Oculus Go for $149 ($50 off)
The Oculus Go (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite budget VR headset, since it needs no external devices to work beyond the one controller it comes with. It’s an affordable, complete package with access to over 1,000 games and apps. There’s a 64 GB option you might want to consider ($199), as games can quickly eat up space, but you can always remove ones you’ve finished.
Oculus Rift S for $349 ($50 off)
The Oculus Rift S is more expensive than the Oculus Go and requires a PC to use, but at $349, it’s not a bad deal if you want entry-level access to the world of PC VR gaming. With Half-Life: Alyx on the horizon, now’s a good time to gear up.
