If you've been sitting on a backlog of games you want to buy or a PlayStation Plus renewal that's overdue, Prime Day just handed you a small but real reason to act now. Both $10 Xbox and $10 PlayStation Store eGift cards are currently 5% off on Amazon, dropping to $9.50 each. No Prime membership required to grab either one.
The discount gets even sharper on the Nintendo side. A $10 Nintendo eShop Gift Card is down 10% to $8.98, which is the better deal on paper. Nintendo rarely discounts its own first-party titles, so stacking eShop credit at a slight markdown is one of the smarter ways to shave a few dollars off full-price Switch 2 releases.

What each card actually covers
Here's the lowdown on what you're actually buying access to with each card.
The PlayStation Store Gift Card arrives via email as a 12-digit code. Redeem it through your PlayStation account and it applies to games, add-ons, PlayStation Plus subscriptions, and anything else sold through the PS Store. Straightforward.
The Xbox Gift Card works across a wider ecosystem. After adding it to your Microsoft account, the balance is usable on Xbox games, DLC, apps, accessories, and subscriptions, but it also carries over to the Microsoft Store and Windows purchases. If you're a PC and console player, that flexibility makes the Xbox card particularly useful.
The Nintendo eShop Gift Card applies to games, DLC, online memberships, and in-game currency across the eShop. Given that Nintendo Switch 2 titles are launching at $70 or higher, every dollar of pre-loaded credit helps.
The Prime membership angle (or lack of one)
What most players miss is that these gift card discounts don't require an active Prime subscription. Most of the headline Prime Day deals are locked behind that $139/year membership, so finding genuine savings that are open to everyone is less common than Amazon's marketing implies.
You can also pick up two of each card in a single order, making it easy to grab one for yourself and one to gift.
Prime Day gaming deals running alongside the gift cards
The gift card deals sit inside a much larger Prime Day gaming sale. Physical game discounts during this event are running steep, with titles like Elden Ring on PS5 down 60% to $19.99, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 at $29.99 (57% off), and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on Xbox hitting $19.99 after a 71% cut. Borderlands 4 is 30% off on both PS5 and Xbox at $34.99.
On the Nintendo side, Pokémon Legends: Z-A for Switch 2 is down 36% to $44.99 as a Lightning Deal, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on Switch is 50% off at $29.99. Those are the kinds of cuts that make pre-loaded eShop credit genuinely useful right now.
The key here is that gift cards give you flexibility if you're not ready to commit to a specific title today but know you'll be spending on your platform of choice soon. Locking in discounted credit during the sale window means the savings carry forward.
How the three cards compare
Prime Day runs through the end of June 27, so the window to grab these at the discounted rate is tight. If you're planning any digital purchases in the near future across any of these platforms, buying the credit now at a slight discount beats paying full price later.
