Here's My Top Picks For The 14 Best Prime Day 2025 Deals That Are Already Live (Updated)
There's already more stuff on sale ahead of Amazon's longest ever Prime Day July event.
Prime Day 2025 is fast approaching, officially kicking off on July 8 and lasting a whole four days through to 11:59 PM PT on July 11. That's the biggest Prime Day event since its inception around a decade ago.
To celebrate the big event, Amazon already has a healthy selection of early deals that are worth checking out before the big day(s). That includes some discounts for Prime members, alongside a few cheeky discounts for those who aren't currently under the boot of Bezos and Co.
TL:DR: Best Early Prime Day 2025 Deals
I kid, and joke, and josh. Fairly sure Bezos isn't even running things anymore, and I'm hardly going to tell cheap deals are a bad thing (unless you want me to, IGN overlords).
Anyway, to get me to stop rambling, I'm going to run through the 14 big ol' early Prime Day deals that you'll actually want to shop before the event officially kicks off, including some shiny new offers that I've been able to find since I last updated this.
Amazon Is Giving Away Audible Memberships For Prime Members
The seasonal Audible deal has returned. Starting now and running through July 31 (including Amazon Prime Day), you can sign up for three months of Audible Premium Plus for just $0.99 per month, get it completely free if you're a Prime Member.
Premium Plus is Audible's highest tier plan and normally costs $14.95/mo, so this is a proper Prime Day deal, Prime membership requirement and all. It's a good option for those without Prime as well, of course Anyone who doesn't currently have an active Audible membership should be eligible. That includes new subscribers as well as existing members whose subscriptions have since expired. There's always a small your-mileage-may-vary disclaimer with these types of promotions, but fortunately it's easy to check if you qualify: log into your account, and if you see the $0.99/mo banner right on Amazon's Audible page then you're eligible for this promotion. As a additional subscription perk, you get a free audiobook of your choice for each of those three months and you get to keep them indefinitely. A decent sleep mask is essential for international flights, noisy hotel rooms, or even catching some sleep at the airport. Right now, you can grab this highly rated $20 sleep mask on Amazon for just $4 using the promo code OCVCH94Q at checkout. The mask seems up to tackle serious light blocking, featuring a wide contoured design that won’t press against your eyes, soft breathable materials, and a fully adjustable strap to fit any head size. You also get a bonus set of earplugs and a travel pouch thrown in as well. For the price of a bottle of water at the airport, you’ll actually be able to sleep on the plane. Seems like a done deal to me. That's $5 less than the $30 deal during the 2025 Spring sale at Amazon. Not bad at all! It's available for everyone right now as well, not just Prime members, so well worth taking advantage of while you can. Like the Fire Stick models that have come before, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max allows you to stream up to 4K TV shows and movies across apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, Max, and a good number more. What’s more, gamers can enjoy Xbox games without even needing a console or PC, thanks to the Xbox Game Pass app, which provides cloud streaming with its Ultimate-tier subscription. Kindle Unlimited is a great service if you read a lot of books and comics, but only really if the books you like to read are actually included. There are a lot of great reads on Kindle Unlimited at any given time, but it certainly doesn't include everything. Just like Audible, popular new releases like Sunrise on the Reaping and Onyx Storm, for example, were not included with the subscription and needed to be purchased separately. That being said, if you mostly read LitRPG books like I do, Kindle Unlimited is an incredible value, especially with the early Prime Day deal going now. If you're traveling with a Nintendo Switch 2, Steam Deck, or iPhone 16, a good power bank isn’t optional; it's a lifeline. This INIU 10,000mAh Power Bank is currently down to $11.25 at Amazon with coupon code FI6DJCXD, and it’s an absolute steal. It supports up to 45W Power Delivery over USB-C, which means it can fast-charge just about anything in your travel bag. Considering the Switch 2 only gets 2 to 6.5 hours of playtime on a full charge, bringing this power bank along means you can double your gaming sessions on long journeys without hunting for a wall socket. It’s compact, carry-on friendly, and comes with great reviews to back it up. If you're packing for a trip and need reliable, budget-friendly tech, this should be the first thing in your bag.Block Out the Plane, Not Your Wallet: $4 Sleep Mask Deal

Prime for Young Adults Is The Deal of the Year
In the US, anyone can join Prime for $14.99 per month or $139 per year, with a zero-cost 30-day trial also available for eligible new users.
But, the better deal is entirely for the young crowd through the "Amazon Prime for Young Adults" scheme, which offers the same benefits, including fast delivery and access to Prime Video, with a few additional features like 5% cashback every day on tech, or 10% during Prime Day, and zero food delivery fees on Grubhub.
This version comes with a six-month free trial, followed by a 50% discount on the standard membership price, reducing the cost to $7.49 per month or $69 per year until the customer turns 25 (or your knees start to ache when you bend down).
Portable Neck Fan for Just $13.49
Right now, Amazon has 50% off the Tunise Rechargeable Portable Neck Fan when you use promo code 8Z2BHHVD at checkout. That brings the price down to just $13.50 for Prime members, easily one of the lowest we've seen for this style of fan.
Let’s be honest: most of these budget neck fans on Amazon are basically the same model with different branding. So when you're buying one, you're mainly just looking for the best price from a seller with easy returns.
Plus, with Amazon’s 30-day return window makes this a low-risk pickup, if it doesn’t work for you, just send it back. At $13.50, it’s worth trying one out for your next beach trip, music festival, or long-haul travel day.
ANOTHER Freebie: Prime Members Can Already Grab Six Free PC Games Today
From June 17, Prime members can also claim six bonus free games. You can add the following from the Amazon Prime Gaming page to your digital collection right now to keep forever:
- Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (via GOG code)
- Saints Row 2 (GOG code)
- Saints Row IV: Re-Elected (GOG code)
- Star Wars: Rebellion (GOG code)
- Dungeon of the Endless Definitive Edition (Amazon Games App)
- TOEM (GOG code)
The Tomb Raider I-III Remastered collection comes as no surprise, since Amazon owns the publishing rights for the next Tomb Raider game. Still, it’s a collection of three games in one that only came out last year, so it’s a pretty good free game.
However, so are others in the collection, like Saints Row 2 and Saints Row IV: Re-Elected, two of the best-received games in the franchise. Star Wars: Rebellion is a nice little bonus too, as it’s a fun little 1998 RTS game set in the franchise’s expanded universe. It wasn’t received amazingly upon release, but it seems to have found new life in the modern community, getting a “mostly positive” rating on its Steam page. Beyond Audible and Prime Gaming, you can also find some excellent deals that may not be "Prime Day" exclusive, or branded for that matter, but that are that good that they are worthy of inclusion and discussion. Tons of Magic: The Gathering sealed products are on sale at Amazon right now. From commander decks and bundles to booster boxes and prerelease kits, there's plenty of options for any level of MTG player. Aetherdrift, one of the latest expansions from 2025, is the main focus of the sale, but you can also pick up products from other sets like Tarkir: Dragonstorm and Bloomburrow, or even check out new deals from Universes Beyond: Final Fantasy. These are what you're on the look out for when ripping open your boosters. Aetherdrift has dozens of borderless, Fracture Foil, First-Place Foil, and Showcase editions of main set cards, but these are the 10 most valuable. From a competitive standpoint, not many of these see much play, although Ketramose, the New Dawn is the face of a hot new Modern combo deck. And for you Commander players, this is a great chance to nab the elusive Radiant Lotus Fracture Foil or the Aetherspark First-Place Foil. Whatever your budget may be, there's an AirPods for you. Apple's newest AirPods are all on sale including our favorite earbuds for iPhone, the AirPods Pro. The second generation model with USB Type-C charging has dropped to $169 from $249 after a 33% off instant discount. The next step down, the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC (active noise cancelation) is down to $148 (normally $179). Finally, the value-packed AirPods 4 without ANC drops to $99.99 (normally $129). Or even just shop the 4th of July sale? My answer is going to be a reasonding, and unsurprising: do all of the above. Waiting until Prime Day is the smart choice for most things you're looking to buy between now and July 8. Unless I say otherwise (such as the early deals above that likely won't get any better). Prime Day is hot for discounts on everyday items like batteries, command strips, and everything else you might be interested in like games and tech, so wait it out and find yourself with even more savings. 4th of July weekend sales are also incoming soon, but will likely feature a selection of different deals at other retailers like Walmart and Best Buy. These probably won't be anything amazing, but there does tend to be a few more deals on gaming monitors and TVs during the July 4th sales compared to Prime Day every year.MTG Sale on 2025 Booster Boxes and Bundles Today

Should You Wait Till Prime Day Proper?
Will There Be Switch 2 Stock During Prime Day?
While it remains unconfirmed whether Amazon will stock the Nintendo Switch 2 during Prime Day, signs suggest the retailer may finally be preparing to offer the console directly.
The product listing for the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle, previously non-existent, and then dominated by dubious third-party sellers, has now been stripped back and reset to a simple “Currently unavailable” status.
Notably, Amazon has also resumed selling first-party Switch 2 games, a shift that could indicate a broader return of official Nintendo stock to the platform. With Prime Day approaching, it's worth monitoring the listing closely for any movement. Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are currently sold out at every major retailer. While launch day stock was solid, helping the console shift over 3.5 million units in just four days worldwide, it's been tough to come by ever since. But, there's hope yet with Amazon now almost certainly set to stock the console in the coming weeks. One possibility is that Amazon could restrict Switch 2 availability to Prime members during the sale, a move that would align with the event's exclusivity model, and give subscribers early access to one of the year’s most in-demand consoles.
