Amazon Gaming Week has arrived, and for the mega-event, we have scoured the sale (so you don’t have to) and compiled some of our favourite sales from the event, which runs through May 5.
Amazon runs sales all throughout the year on appliances, furniture, and everything else, but this week, the marketplace is running an Amazon Gaming Week. What this means is all week long, gamers will have a great opportunity to snag some gadgets to make their gaming experience as complete as possible. We here at CGMagazine have gone through the sales and selected a few that seemed too good to be true to miss out on.
Aside from Diablo IV receiving a notable 57% price cut (on Amazon for $29.99, physical copy), there ironically doesn’t seem to be too many video games as part of the Amazon Gaming Week sale, but there are a few products worth taking a look at, especially for the price they are listed for. Don’t have enough playable storage? Amazon might have exactly what you’re looking for.

CGMagazine’s review of the Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro says, “While certainly not marketed as a gaming laptop, I found I was easily able to play my selections of games such as GTA 5 or Fortnite with settings tuned correctly. The whole time playing, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 laptop did get warm but not to the point where it got uncomfortably hot or overheated.”
