Memorial Day weekend is both a kickoff for Summer and a time filled with plenty of excellent sales to check out at various retailers. There's so much to look at over this period, and if you're on the lookout for good game deals, you're in luck. Discounts in the realm of gaming are aplenty during this time and PlayStation users, in particular, can enjoy discounts on numerous items, from video games to controllers and so much more.
While we don’t know what exactly will be on sale yet, we’ve taken a look back at years past to take a guess at what deals could be returning. Not only that, but you can also find information below on when Memorial Day sales begin this year, how long they last, and what sale events are coming up after it.

Memorial Day lands on Monday, May 27 this year, but some of the sales kick start in the week leading up to it. Retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart will post information to their sites on when those early sales will begin, so it’s worth keeping an eye on them.
While there’s no confirmation of it yet, some of these retailers can even offer early access to sale events through their respective memberships, which is worth keeping in mind. Walmart is one such spot that offers early access to sale events for Walmart+ members. They also offer a 30-day free trial that lines up perfectly with Memorial Day weekend - alongside excellent bonus offers right now like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for two months for free, a three-month trial of YouTube Premium for free, five months of Apple Music for free, and more - so you can utilize that when signing up!
Alongside video games, which always pop up with great deals during sale events like this one, there were actually quite a few more PlayStation-related items that went on sale in previous years. Last year saw various SSDs go on sale, and in the year before, DualSense wireless controllers were even discounted as the sale lined up with Sony's Days of Play event. So when it comes to PlayStation deals, there will likely be plenty to enjoy this year. We’ll make sure to update this section properly when the deals begin to drop, but if you’re curious to see the best PlayStation/PS5 deals available right now, have a look at our roundup of the best PlayStation deals today.
Some Memorial Day sales only last through the weekend, but others will extend it for a few days after. It varies by retailer, so it’s worth checking in at your favorite spots to see their sale dates. You can usually find this through a notice at the top of the webpage.
This time of year sees a wide variety of sale events pop up, which is always a fun way to kick off Summer. Thankfully, there will be a few more opportunities to pick up game deals you may have missed after Memorial Day is over and done with. In particular, coming up in June will be both IGN Live and Summer Game Fest. IGN Live will run from June 7-9 in LA and SGF's big livestream event will kick off on June 7 at 2pm PT/5pm ET/10pm GMT. Around this time plenty of new deals on games will begin to pop up. Each platform’s store usually holds a big sale event in celebration of gaming’s big summer kickoff, so you’ll likely find plenty of video game deals around then.
Right around the corner from those events will be Amazon Prime Day for Prime members, which is absolutely worth marking your calendar for if you missed any Memorial Day deals. While we don’t know what day exactly it’ll land on this year, it’ll likely follow in the path of years past by taking place in early July around its second week.
