Retailers are currently hosting numerous summer sales, presenting an overwhelming number of gaming deals across physical and digital storefronts. Amazon's Prime Day, alongside sales from Target, Walmart, Steam, and Nintendo, offers a wide array of discounts for both console and PC players. For those looking to acquire multiple titles without a hefty expense, a selection of 25 worthwhile gaming deals, all priced under $20, has been compiled.

Nintendo Switch Deals

While new Nintendo Switch 2 titles are not yet available at these price points, many original Switch games can be utilized via backward compatibility on the new console. The current deals for the Switch primarily focus on accessories, making it an opportune time to purchase items such as screen protectors, carrying cases, and storage solutions for physical games. For owners of the original Switch, a solid third-party gamepad from 8BitDo is available for just under $20.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Deals

Discounts for PlayStation 5 and Xbox games often mirror each other, with titles like Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds from SEGA seeing significant price reductions on both platforms. Notable exceptions include specific PS5 deals: the Silent Hill 2 remake is highly recommended, and Lost Soul Aside is available at an 83% discount, a considerably steeper price cut than its PC counterpart on Steam.

Accessory deals for PS5 and Xbox are more limited but include a PS5 controller charging stand with positive reviews and an Astro Bot aesthetic. For PC users who prefer an Xbox controller, PowerA's Play and Charge Kit is recommended. It includes two 1100 mAh rechargeable batteries that can be used while the controller is still connected, priced at $12.99 for Prime members.

PC Games Under $20

Steam's Summer Sale, running until July 9, offers a vast selection of PC games under $20. This sale presents hundreds, if not thousands, of options for budget-conscious players. Beyond games, there are limited accessory recommendations under the $20 threshold, though a large desk pad is available for $8.
