The PlayStation 5 has finally arrived, but the PlayStation 4 will stay relevant for years to come because of its expansive library of games. If you’re planning to finally buy the console on the Prime Day 2021 date, which is set on June 21 and June 22, you should look forward to the discounts that will be offered in next week’s Prime Day deals. You’ll enjoy significant savings on the console, as well as on its games and accessories, with this year’s Prime Day PS4 deals. On the other hand, if you’re already a PS4 owner, the upcoming Prime Day PS4 sales will be your chance to pick up games that you may have missed when they were first released, and accessories to add to your arsenal.

What Prime Day PS4 Deals To Expect

Some gamers are already upgrading from the PlayStation 4 to the PlayStation 5, but that doesn’t mean the PS4 is a dying console. Developers will continue to roll out games for the 7-year-old system, so it’s still a good idea to take advantage of Prime Day PS4 deals if you don’t own the console yet. There will likely be bundles for the PS4 that includes games and accessories, as Amazon will look to unload its stocks of the console. Meanwhile, for current PS4 owners, Prime Day will be a great opportunity to expand your gaming collection and to buy accessories such as extra controllers.

What Prime Day PS4 Deals We Saw Last Year

Last year’s Prime Day happened before the launch of the PlayStation 5, so gamers were looking forward to the new system. Amazon still offered Prime Day PS4 sales though, despite the hype surrounding the PS5, as there was still high demand due to 2020’s PS4 exclusives like The Last of Us Part II, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Ghost of Tsushima.

Should You Buy New a PS4 on Prime Day?

The PlayStation 5 is here, but the PlayStation 4 still offers years of gaming with its massive stable of games. You’re missing out if you haven’t played the best PS4 exclusives, so its still highly recommended to buy a new PS4 on Prime Day. It’s also smart to take advantage of the discounts to buy games and accessories for the console, to get yourself set for months, or even years, of PS4 gaming.

The Best PS4 Deals Happening Now

With Prime Day happening next week, the discounts that you can enjoy from the annual shopping event will be worth the wait. However, if you have the budget to purchase the PlayStation 4 right now and you’re already looking forward to all the games that you can play on the console, then you should check out the best PlayStation deals that are currently available.

Sony wants AI to turn your gaming moments into shareable highlights
Sony's new patent could make sharing your gaming highlights as easy as playing the game.
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

If you have ever gone on an absolute rampage in a multiplayer game and wanted to share it, you know how painful the process is. You record, scrub through footage, clip the moment, edit it, and then finally share it. Sony wants to change all of that, and AI is at the center of it.

As discovered by MP1st, Sony Interactive Entertainment filed a patent application with the USPTO on May 5, 2026, under document ID "12616902," for an AI system that automatically selects your best gaming moments and turns them into shareable highlights, without you lifting a finger.

I hate scalpers, and Valve’s Steam Machine queue is exactly what we need
Valve may have found the right way to sell the Steam Machine
Steam Machine with Steam Controller

I hate scalpers. I especially hate scalpers when they swarm gaming hardware that already has limited availability. They buy it before regular customers and gamers can get a fair shot, and then relist it at cartoonish prices for the people who actually wanted to use it. We've seen this issue time and time again, but Valve's latest move might be the best anti-scalper weapon I've seen in a while.

Steam’s database now suggests Valve may already have a reservation queue system prepared for the upcoming Steam Machine. The discovery reportedly comes from a recent Steam update spotted by user Pepeizq, in which references to multiple Steam Machine packages appeared within the same reservation system code used for the Steam Controller.

Wordle is getting a TV show on NBC, and it already feels like a betrayal
Wordle is becoming an NBC primetime game show in 2027.

Every morning, millions of people open Wordle, stare at a blank grid, and spend a few quiet minutes locked in a private battle with the five letters.

There is no host narrating your every move, no studio audience gasping when you waste a guess on a word, and absolutely nobody cheering you on. Just you, the word, and the slightly smug satisfaction of getting it right under three attempts.
