Presidents Day sales are here with plenty of gaming deals lining the shelves. We're seeing each console taking its own price cuts this week, from PS5 Slim and Nintendo Switch bundles to straight discounts on the Xbox Series X itself. On top of that there's a whole host of games and accessories sitting at record low prices right now to boot.
While Presidents Day sales tend to cater to those after large appliances or furniture, we've started seeing gaming tech included on the clearance shelves far more frequently in recent years. Bigger purchases tend to take the brunt of these discounts, with gaming PCs, laptops, and monitors running up the largest cash savings. However, retailers are all vying for your attention this February so we're expecting smaller deals on controllers, headsets, games and more as well.

The best Presidents Day sales for gamers
FAQ
When will Presidents Day sales start?
Presidents Day sales start on Monday February 19 this year, though we're expecting official discounts to start from a couple of weeks before the event. These will ramp up significantly over the weekend before, however.
How long do Presidents Day sales last?
Presidents Day sales generally run for a few days after the actual holiday, before tapering out towards the end of the month. However, supplies can start to run low on more popular offers by the time even the big day arrives.
What usually goes on sale for Presidents Day?
Presidents Day sales are best known for their heavy discounts on larger items like kitchen and laundry appliances, TVs, and laptops. However, we're seeing more and more gaming tech featured in these annual discounts, with PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo all getting involved. Laptops and PCs are also particularly well served, as they are often featured within the same sites that run larger Presidents Day sales across general purpose devices.
What to expect from Presidents Day gaming sales in 2024
While larger offers like high-value console bundles are a little optimistic for smaller events like Presidents Day sales, we generally see prices falling across PCs and gaming laptops as well as larger accessories like monitors, desks, chairs, and TVs. That's not to say you'll need bags of cash to take advantage of this year's discounts, though.
We've already seen last year's top releases hitting some particularly low prices so if you're looking for a game refresh there will likely be some savings in store. Super Mario Bros. Wonder has already dropped to a record low price this year, and older 2023 titles are following suit as well.
We're also rounding up all the latest PS5 bundles and Nintendo Switch deals for those after a specific console. Or, take a look at the best Meta Quest deals on the shelves right now for more savings.
