Presidents Day sales are here with plenty of gaming deals lining the shelves. While the actual date is still a few days away (Monday, February 17), retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, Woot, and Newegg are already dropping their prices in anticipation. This is when the sale tends to really get going, and I've handpicked 14 of the biggest offers for gamers available right now.

While Presidents Day sales tend to cater to those after large appliances or furniture, I'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. 

I've been tracking Presidents Day sales for over five years, so I know how to find the biggest deals and which products are going to offer the best value. I go hands on with these games and this tech all year-round, so that once those numbers drop I can confidently recommend the best products in the bargain bin. This week, there are 14 early deals that sit above the rest. These offers apply to the tech and games that are actually worth your time and sit at, or near, record-low prices.

You'll find all the biggest Presidents Day sales for gamers just below and all my tips and tricks for making the most of the sale further down the page.

FAQ

When will Presidents Day sales start?

Presidents Day sales start on Monday February 17 this year, though I'm already seeing discounts on the shelves a week out from the main event. Retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, Woot, Newegg, and Dell have all launched their early discounts, with plenty more to come as we get closer to the weekend.

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.

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.
