Whether you pledge allegiance to Team Blue, Team Red, or Team Green, 2025 is delivering excellent hardware deals.
Usually, console manufacturers are stingy with discounts—especially on newer hardware. But this year, the script has flipped. The headline story is undoubtedly Sony’s aggressive pricing strategy on the entire PlayStation 5 lineup, but Nintendo and third-party accessory makers are not sitting this one out.
Here is the KingHacks365 breakdown of the best gaming deals live right now.
1. Console Wars: The Price Drop
The Powerhouse: PlayStation 5 Pro
The Deal: $649 ($100 Off)
KingHacks Take:
This is the first major discount on the Pro console since its launch. For the hardcore enthusiast who wants the absolute best frame rates and ray tracing, $649 makes the upgrade much more palatable. It’s still a premium toy, but a $100 price cut is significant this early in its lifecycle.
The Standard: PlayStation 5 Slim
The Deal: $449 ($50 Off)
KingHacks Take:
If you don't have a 4K 120Hz TV, you probably don't need the Pro. The Standard Slim model plays the exact same library of games and looks fantastic doing it. At $449, it remains the best value entry point into the current generation of high-end gaming.
The Family Favorite: Nintendo Switch (Standard)
The Deal: $310 (Bundled with Mario Kart 8)
KingHacks Take:
Nintendo refuses to kill the original Switch, and for good reason—the library is legendary. This bundle effectively gives you one of the best party games ever made (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe) for free. If you need a console for the kids (or a second one for the household), this is the reliable, budget-friendly win.
2. The Accessories: Controllers & Portables
Stock Up: Sony DualSense Controllers
The Deal: $55 (Originally $75)
KingHacks Take:
Controller drift is real, and batteries eventually degrade. $55 is the "buy it now" price for official DualSense controllers.
Retailers have dropped the price on almost every colorway, including the new Volcanic Red and Cobalt Blue. Don't wait until your controller dies mid-boss fight to buy a replacement at full price.
The Handheld: PlayStation Portal
The Deal: $179 (Originally $199)
KingHacks Take:
The PlayStation Portal was mocked at launch, but it has quietly become a fan favorite for dads and partners who can't hog the main TV.
It streams your PS5 games over Wi-Fi to a slick handheld screen. A $20 discount isn't massive, but it’s a rare cut on a device that is frequently sold out.
3. The Audio Upgrade: Turtle Beach Atlas Air
The Deal: 28% OFF
KingHacks Take:
Audio is half the experience. The Atlas Air is unique because it features an "open-back" design, which creates a wider, more natural soundstage (meaning you can hear exactly where those footsteps are coming from).
Our audio reviewers rated this as a "surprisingly decent value" at full price. At nearly 30% off, it outperforms almost everything else in its price bracket.
KingHacks365 Verdict
If you have been on the fence about the PS5 Pro, the $100 discount is your signal to jump. It’s unlikely we will see a better price until Holiday 2026.
For everyone else, grab a DualSense Controller ($55). It is the one item on this list you are guaranteed to need eventually, so you might as well save $20 on it now.
Game On!
