Gaming is having a moment. For one thing, all that "sheltering in place" for much of the past 14 months has likely raised its profile. At the same time, though, a bounty of amazing new consoles, handhelds and games has made gaming more popular than ever. And who can't use the great escape it offers: Immersing yourself in another world lets you take a break from this one.
If you’re a diehard gamer, chances are you’re ready for some fresh challenges. And if you’re new to this world, well, now is the perfect time to give it a shot. Amazon has a motherlode of simply incredible gaming deals starting at just $6. We're talking about amazing savings going on left and right — up to a ridonculous 85 percent on top titles.
And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? Get in the game (heh) with a free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
Whether you have an Xbox, Sony PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, or even if you're a PC gamer, you'll find something to snap up among these next-level deals:

"The game is absolutely amazing," shared a delighted PlayStation gamer. "The first one is my favorite game of all time and I was on the fence about a new addition to the game as I didn’t want my favorite game to be impacted in any way. With that said, I went in with an open mind and the emotions I felt were insane.... It is an absolute amazing experience that one must play on their own. I’m still absolutely in amazement and I cant wait to play again."

“I have all the Just Dance games...and this may be my favorite,” shared a dancing fan. “The songs are a great mix of genres, and the choreography has enough familiar moves to make the game comfortable to jump into, but it also has some new moves that I don't think I've seen in the other Just Dance games. And the backgrounds — wow, they are amazing. It's crazy to think how far the game has come over the years. Five stars for sure!”
