    The Amazon Prime Day sale brings a whole lot of discounts to some of the most popular gaming consoles of today. From the PS5 to the Xbox Series S, if you've been looking to pick up a new console this year - this might be the best time of the year. The sale runs from July 15th to July 16th, so make sure to drop in and check out these game consoles while they're still available at a discounted price.

     

    Even though Nintendo does not have an official presence in the country, the Nintendo Switch OLED is available at a discount during Prime Day and players can pick it up for relatively cheap. The PlayStation 5 remains in high demand due to its status as the premier console in this generation, bolstered by a strong offering of first-party titles. The Xbox Series X provides current-gen gaming at its best with a solid offering made better by the Xbox Game Pass. 

     

    Best Deals on Gaming Consoles in the Amazon Prime Day Sale

     

    Nintendo Switch OLED + Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom - Rs 31,999

     

     

    One of the best deals during the Amazon Prime Day sale is the Nintendo Switch OLED w/ Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom bundle. The Switch is easily one of the best consoles currently in gaming with a wide variety of excellent first-party and third-party offerings such as Doom, WWE 2K23, and of course, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The latter has been hailed as one of the best games of 2023 and possibly one of the best games ever made.

     

    The Switch also has a ton of other great offerings in the form of Super Mario Odyssey, Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, and a ton of other great Nintendo titles. At Rs 31,999 - this is a pretty good deal for those looking to pick up the OLED Switch along with one of the best games currently available. 

     

    Nintendo Switch OLED - Rs 29,999

     

     

    This is a pretty straightforward deal with the Nintendo Switch OLED model available at a much-discounted rate than how much it usually goes for. The Nintendo Switch OLED is a massive departure from the original model but it does offer a pretty sizeable upgrade for those looking for a better screen for their Switch experience. While the console isn't much of an upgrade for those who already own the base Switch, the OLED model is great for those looking to pick up a new Nintendo Switch this year.

     

    At this price, the OLED model seems like a pretty good deal for those looking to get in on the Nintendo side of gaming and experience the vast innovation of Nintendo titles like Legend of Zelda and Super Mario. 

     

    PlayStation 5 - Rs 52,990

     

     

    The PlayStation 5 stands as the most popular console of this generation and it has been a massive success in India as well. Now that the supply chain issues have subsided, stock is available much more easily than before and its inclusion in the Amazon Prime Day sale is a welcome sight for fans looking to pick up a shiny, new Sony console. 

     

    The PlayStation 5 has built a massive catalogue of games over the past couple of years with plenty of great first-party and third-party offerings such as Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarok, Returnal, Horizon Forbidden West, and more. At this price, the PS5 should be a no-brainer for those looking to experience the very best that the current generation of consoles have to offer. 

     

    Xbox Series X - Diablo IV Bundle - Rs 56,990

     

     

    The Xbox Series X is right up there alongside the PlayStation 5 in terms of excellent third-party offerings and it is only bolstered by the presence of Xbox Game Pass, which has been wildly successful. The Game Pass offers players access to a large selection of games, many of which are Day 1 launches, meaning certain new games are available on the day of release to Game Pass subscribers at no additional cost. 

     

    The Xbox Series X Diablo IV Bundle is a great deal for fans of the franchise who want to try out the latest release on a current-gen console. At Rs 56,990 - this is one of the better deals in gaming at the moment. 

     

    PlayStation 5 Call of Duty Modern Warfare II Bundle - Rs 54,290

     

     

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is one of the most successful entries in the franchise and has continued to get better with each subsequent update. Lauded for its fantastic multiplayer and often enjoyable campaign, COD MWII is one of the most popular games in 2023 and the PS5 bundle at this price is a steal for fans of the franchise. If you've been looking to pick up both a console and COD MWII, this is probably the best time to get in.

Before this, Ubisoft had only made one Star Wars title, Lethal Alliance, in 2004. With Ubisoft showcasing more of their upcoming title at the Forward event from two months back, gamers have been wondering when will Star Wars Outlaws come out.

    Star Wars Outlaws Will Come Out Later This Month

     

    Star Wars Outlaws is one of the most anticipated Ubisoft titles this year. The game was announced in January 2021. The game was later revealed in the Xbox Games Showcase in June 2023. Following the reveal, in April 2024, Ubisoft revealed two special editions for Star Wars Outlaws.

     

    Star Wars Outlaws will be an open-world game action game, where players will assume the role of Kay Vess, a wanderer in the galaxy. She will also accompany her companion, Nix, as they partner up for heists across different locations.

     

    The story of Star Wars Outlaws takes place between The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi from the Star Wars lore. The title is set to be exclusively single-player as of now, as Ubisoft has not announced any multiplayer elements for Outlaws. However, developers may add more features to the title shortly after release.

     

    Gamers who preorder Star Wars Outlaws will receive a Kessel Runner bonus pack. Additionally, purchasing the Ultimate Edition will give gamers access to the Rogue Infiltrator and Sabacc Shark bundles, which will serve as cosmetics for one's ship. Aside from cosmetics, purchasing the Gold or Ultimate editions for Star Wars Outlaws will also give gamers access to the season pass, as well as game access three days before release.

     

    Outlaws will possibly be the biggest open-world Star Wars game, which may borrow a lot of elements from Respawn's Star Wars Jedi series. Moreover, the title will allow gamers to traverse the open world with many vehicles from the famous universe. The title will rely heavily on stealth and Blaster combat, unlike the traditional Lightsaber battle from most Star Wars titles.

The players who enjoy using 5.56 mm ammo guns usually choose the M416. This gun is available in all the maps and has decent recoil control when all the attachments are used on it. It is a great gun for mid and close-range fights. 

     

    For the ones who want to deal more close-range damage to their enemies, they use the mighty AKM. The gun uses 7.62 mm ammo and just uses the compensator. It takes a lot of patience and practice to master the AKM. However, the AKM and the M416 are the most used guns in the game
