Prime Day 2025 Deals: What to Expect

So, Prime Day 2025 is twice as long, does that mean twice as many deals? Probably not, no. It's more likely that the lengthened window just gives customers more time to shop. It also formalizes what has, in practice, been true for years at this point: Amazon Prime Day was already a week-long sales event.

Not officially, but with the plethora of early deals and so-called "anti-Prime Day" sales from competing retailers like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, the annual summer sale has become Black Friday in July over the past few years.

Amazon Prime Day 2025 Early Deals

Amazon has already started offering some early deals for Prime members. Official early Prime Day deals, just like deals during the event, are exclusive to Amazon Prime members. Amazon Prime costs $15/month or $139 per year. New subscribers can get a 30-day trial that can be canceled at any time. Young adults (ages 18-24) and students can subscribe for $7.49/month, and if you're new to Prime, the no-cost trial is extended to six months.

Prime Day is generally the best time of the year to buy many Amazon-branded electronics, including Fire TV Sticks, Echo Dots, and Kindle ereaders. Amazon's early deals frequently include these devices and others. For instance, Amazon already has an awesome deal on the Fire TV Stick HD that drops the price to only $20. Fire TV Stick deals are currently available to non-Prime members, but the various 4K Amazon Fire Smart TVs that are on sale are exclusive to members. Here's a quick look at some notable Amazon device deals.

• Amazon Streaming Device Deals:
  • Fire TV Stick HD -- $20 ($35)
  • Fire TV Stick 4K -- $30 ($50)
  • Fire TV Stick 4K Max -- $40 ($60)
  • Fire TV Cube 4K -- $100 ($140)
• Amazon Fire Smart TV Deals:
  • 32" 2-Series HD Smart TV -- $110 ($150)
  • 40" 2-Series HD Smart TV -- $170 ($250)
  • 50" 4-Series 4K Smart TV -- $280 ($450)
  • 55" 4-Series 4K Smart TV -- $340 ($460)

  • 75" Omni QLED 4K Smart TV -- $570 ($1,100)

Prime Day Gaming Deals

As part of its early Prime Day gaming deals, Amazon is selling its Luna Wireless Controller for only $40 (was $70). Though initially designed with Luna cloud gaming in mind, this Bluetooth controller is a pretty great gamepad for general use on PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices. It's reminiscent of the Switch Pro Controller (the first one). You can also bundle the Luna Controller with a phone clip for mobile gaming for $50. And if you've never subscribed to Luna+ before, you can get a free month of the cloud gaming service with the $40 controller deal.

Prime Day Free PC Games

Amazon gives away free games, mostly for PC but sometimes for Xbox, each month throughout the year. The freebies, which can be redeemed at the Epic Games Store, GOG, Microsoft Store, Amazon's own Games App, and other digital storefronts, are arguably worth the price of a membership alone.

In the weeks leading up to Prime Day, Amazon typically gives away even more free games on top of the monthly offers. That's the case this year, too. Starting today, June 17, at 9 AM PT, Prime members can claim six free PC games, five of which are DRM-free GOG games.

Here's the full list of freebies going live today, but Prime members should also make sure they claim the monthly free games for June, too.

Can I still get deals without Amazon Prime?

Technically, Prime Day deals are exclusive to members. In practice, however, there are many deals each year that don't require a membership. These deals are mainly the ones Amazon is price-matching to compete with Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and other major retailers. These sorts of deals are fairly common for gaming and tech products, but there are still thousands of deals that are locked behind the membership each year.
