Walmart's summer sale is live now and runs through June 28, overlapping with Amazon Prime Day to create a solid window for gaming deals. Both retailers are cutting prices on hardware, accessories, and games this week.
The PlayStation PULSE Explore earbuds are down 50% at Walmart — $99 with free shipping. These aren't standard earbuds: they use planar magnetic drivers (tech Sony inherited from its Audeze acquisition in 2023), support 3D audio, and connect to PS5 via PlayStation Link using an included USB dongle. The dongle also works on Windows and Mac. IGN's review called them an outstanding gaming earbud, though they skip active noise cancellation in favor of raw sound quality. Over at Amazon, the Meta Quest 3S 128GB is $296.79 — a $53 discount that brings it back near its original $299.99 launch price after last year's hike to $350. That bundle includes 2,000 Gorilla Tag in-game currency and DLC items. The Quest 3S runs on a Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip with Touch Plus controllers and mixed reality passthrough, though it uses Fresnel optics rather than the Quest 3's superior lenses.
On the games side, Walmart has The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for Switch 2 down $20, Silent Hill f for PS5 at a new low, plus Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Pikmin 4, and Bravely Default Flying Fairy for Switch 2 at $20. A Walmart+ membership — currently 50% off — unlocks additional exclusive deals, though most highlights are available without one.
With Prime Day running alongside Walmart's sale, this is one of the better weeks to pick up gaming hardware at a discount. Stock on some items is already moving fast, so the usual advice applies: don't wait too long on anything that catches your eye.
