Amazon Prime Day is back, just because it’s October and therefore the sale has to have a slightly different name: it’s called Prime Big Deal Days 2026. The sale runs for two days, October 6 and 7. There are plenty of video game deals out there, but we’ve sorted through the listings to bring you some of the best deals on our favorite kit. This list focuses on Xbox games, all physical editions; Prime Day deals are rare on digital games. It’s a good crop, though, including a major recent release and one of Polygon’s favorite games of 2026. We’ve also included some accessory suggestions. Grab them while they’re still working! 1 Image from Pragmata: Capcom via Polygon Capcom’s gorgeous sci-fi action game remains one of our favorite titles this year. It’s both totally original, with innovative hacking mechanics and a nice throwback to the days of shooting robots on space stations on the way to their next checkpoint. Plus, the space hero and AI girl setup is one of the sweetest parenting game stories in recent memory. Buy on Amazon: $39.99 2 Madden NFL 27 Image: Electronic Arts You don’t always find these new releases among Prime Day deals; This year’s Madden came out just a couple of months ago, but it’s almost 40% off, reduced from $70 to $42.99. You can even play it as Umamusume if you really want to. Buy it on Amazon — $42.99 3 Dragon Quest 7 Image reimagined: Square Enix via Polygon If you’re in the mood for some old-school adventures, you can’t do better than this wonderful remake of the classic turn-based RPG from 2001. The remake vastly improves on the very slow opening act of the original while retaining those immaculately cheerful and nostalgic Dragon Quest vibes. Buy it on Amazon — $39.99 4 Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Image: Sonic Team/Sega Sonic came close to beating his old rival last year when Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds took on Mario Kart World and gave the Nintendo game a pretty good run for its money. It’s an incredibly fast arcade racing game with plenty of customization options and a pleasantly edgy old-school style. Buy it on Amazon — $19.99 5 Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora — From the Ashes Edition So’lek in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – From the AshImage: Ubisoft While we’re on the topic of unfairly ignored Ubisoft-licensed games, you should give this beautiful adventure set in the world of James Cameron’s Avatar a spin. Originally released in 2023, it was given new life with the 2025 expansion From the Ashes (included here), which delivered on the game’s promise with a third-person mode. Buy it on Amazon: $19.99 6 Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Image: Razer If you’re considering upgrading your controller for your Xbox (and/or PC), look no further than this premium gamepad from Razer, at an incredible $70 off for Prime Day.

Buy it on Amazon: $27.99 8 Razer Kaira Pro Headset Image: Razer There’s a big $45 markdown on these wireless gaming headsets, officially licensed by Xbox.
