Amazon Luna is Amazon’s cloud gaming service. While subscribing to Luna’s channels is as little as $5 per month, the controller itself normally costs $70. During Prime Day, that price is down to just $40. It’s not just for cloud gaming, either — the Luna controller is pretty well made and works great as a backup for Switch and Xbox gamers.

Far Cry 6
The Far Cry series has always been popular, but the fact that Far Cry 6 boasts Giancarlo Esposito in its voice cast garnered a lot of interest.

There’s a PS5 upgrade included.

It’s impossible to talk video games without mentioning this year’s Souls-like. Elden Ring is easily one of the most popular games to release yet in 2022 and is a strong contender for Game of the Year. It comes with all the difficulty and hard-won progression of any Souls-like, but with systems that make it more approachable for newcomers to the franchise. During Prime Day, you can pick it up for $47 versus its usual price of $60.
