Here's The 10 Best Prime Day 2025 Deals That You Can Already Shop
There's already 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 12 big ol' early Prime Day deals that you'll actually want to shop before the event officially kicks off.
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).
3 Months of Audible Premium Plus for $0.99 Per Month
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. Premium Plus is Audible's highest tier plan and normally costs $14.95/mo.
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. 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.Prime Members Can Grab Six Free PC Games Ahead of Prime Day 2025
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. Dungeon Crawler Carl Books: Buy One, Get One 50% Off
Amazon is having a buy one, get one 50% off sale on books right now that includes the Dungeon Crawler hardcover editions, but the series is also free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.
There are a total of seven books in the Dungeon Crawler series so far, but only six have gotten a hardcover release. You can read all of the books digitally by either purchasing the eBook or via a Kindle Unlimited subscription.
The latest book in the series, The Inevitable Ruin, is also getting a hardcover release, but not until September 2025. Because of that, it isn't currently included in the buy one, get one free sale at Amazon.
I've listed all of the books in their correct reading order in the carousel above, but here's a quick chronological list below as well. There's also an eighth book in the series that is currently expected to arrive later this year.
Used: Like New PlayStation Portal for Under $150 on Amazon
A new PlayStation Portal has never been discounted, even during the PlayStation Days of Play Sale that recently happened, but at least you can save on a used one. Amazon Resale just dropped the price of the Used: Like New PS Portal to below $150.
Right now you can pick one up for only $148.81 with free shipping. It retails for $200 new, so that's 26% in savings. A Sony warranty may or may not be included, but Amazon Resale items still get a 30-day return policy.
Save 33% Off the Apple AirPods Pro, the Best Noise Canceling Earbuds for iPhone
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).
MTG Sale on 2025 Booster Boxes and Bundles Today
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.
Switch 2 Accessory Deals at Amazon
We've seen the official Nintendo Switch 2 case and it could be better for the price. It fits the console well enough, but the build quality and protection is lacking and it looks boring for a $40 case.
If you want something that protects your Switch 2 while looking a lot nicer and still maintaining a slim profile, I'd suggest getting the tomtoc Slim Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case. In fact, it currently costs $36.99 on Amazon, which is a few dollars cheaper than the official case.
That's not all, however, as you can find plenty more great Switch 2 accessory deals at Amazon right now as well, including his JSAUX 3-pack of Switch 2 screen protectors is $4.99 with promo code SWITCH2GO. That's a mega discount, and well worth picking up.
Silver Buffalo FRIENDS Central Perk Black Ceramic Mug
What more can I say? It's a Friends MUG, and it's just over $6! And it's MASSIVE! Why haven't you already bought five of them? Apparently it's also great to use for soup. Unreal, I want mine to arrive already.
Should You Wait for Prime Day?
Or maybe even check out the 4th of July sale instead?
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.
