Every retailer I can think of is offering some sort of summer sale right now, and the result is a borderline overwhelming amount of gaming deals<\/a>. We have Amazon Prime Day<\/a> providing the goods on physical games and accessories, with Target<\/a> and Walmart<\/a> doing their own sales to compete. To make things even more fun, Steam<\/a> and Nintendo<\/a> are both in the midst of massive digital sales. <\/p>\n

As someone who prefers the \u2018get a lot of cheap things\u2019 over the \u2018one expensive thing\u2019 approach, I\u2019ve been sifting through pages and pages of deals to track down the greatest hits that won\u2019t break the bank. In other words? Here are 25 genuinely worthwhile gaming deals I\u2019ve found from across these sales for under $20.<\/p>\n

Switch and Switch 2 Deals Under $20<\/p>\n

Unfortunately it is wayyyy too soon to see any first-party Switch 2 games drop below $20. For the most part, the cheapest Switch 2 games right now are just OG Switch games using the new console’s backward compatibility. With that in mind, the best Switch deals<\/a> include a mix of physical games and accessories through Amazon as well digital discounts through the Nintendo eShop.<\/p>\n

What you can find good deals on for the Switch 2 is accessories<\/a>. It\u2019s a better time than ever to pick up a screen protector<\/a>, carrying case<\/a>, or some storage for your physical games. For the original Switch, you can grab a solid third-party gamepad from 8BitDo for just under $20<\/a>. <\/p>\n

PS5 and Xbox Deals Under $20<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry for slamming these together, I really am, but the reality is that Xbox and PS5 versions of games are getting the same discounts. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds<\/a>, for example, is one of many SEGA games<\/a> that\u2019s getting a big price drop on both consoles. <\/p>\n

The two exceptions to that \u2018equal discount\u2019 are both only available for PS5: the Silent Hill 2 remake, which I\u2019d highly recommend, and Lost Soul Aside, which has a particularly crazy discount at 83% off. For reference, that one’s still over $40 in Steam’s Summer Sale<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The list of budget-friendly but high-quality accessories is a little shorter for these two, but I found a PS5 controller charging stand that has some Astro Bot vibes and great reviews<\/a>. As someone who uses an Xbox controller on my PC, I can personally ecommend PowerA\u2019s Play and Charge Kit, which includes two 1100 mAh rechargeable batteries that are usable while you\u2019re still actively using your Xbox controller. No breaks needed, and only $12.99 for Prime members<\/a>. <\/p>\n

PC Games Under $20<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need a console or a Prime membership to enjoy Steam’s Summer Sale. This particular sale runs until July 9, so you also have tons of time. And that\u2019s probably for the best, because there\u2019s literally hundreds if not thousands of games under that $20 mark. To get you started, I\u2019ve listed out some personal recommendations as well as some of today\u2019s deepest discounts.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not really any accessories<\/a> or PC parts I\u2019d trust under that $20 price point, but you could always grab something like this massive desk pad for $8<\/a>.<\/p>\n
