EOFY sales 2025: time is running out to grab some cheap PC gaming gear

Money money money.

Once upon a time in Australia there were only two times of the year when you could count on buying stuff cheap: Boxing Day, and during the End of Financial Year sales, which usually start rolling out in late May and run through to the end of June. While the likes of Black Friday and Cyber Monday have stolen a little of EOFY's lustre, they're still a very big deal—especially among smaller retailers.

Keep an eye on this page, as we'll add any other notable deals if, and when, they appear. If nothing takes your fancy, keep in mind that late July usually brings Amazon Prime Day sales.

Without further ado:

EOFY sales 2025: the best retailers to watch

EOFY deals

EOFY laptop deals

Lenovo  Legion Pro 7i 16-inch | Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 Ti / 32GB / 1TB SSD
Save AU$1,000
Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16-inch | Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 Ti / 32GB / 1TB SSD: was AU$4,999 now AU$3,999 at Lenovo AU

While still quite pricey after the discount, this nifty Gen 10 machine works hard to justify it: it boasts a Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti 12GB GPU and Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, with 1TB of storage and 32GB of 6400 MT/s RAM. It'll run whatever you throw at it, in other words, while looking good to boot on the 16-inch 2560 x 1600 OLED screen with a 240Hz refresh rate.

HP Victus 16.1 inch gaming laptop
Save AU$1,000
HP Victus 16.1 inch gaming laptop: was AU$2,799 now AU$1,799 at HP Store

A nice big chunk off the RRP of this mid-range gaming laptop. This one boasts an RTX 4060, an i5-14450HX, 32GB RAM, 1TB of SSD storage and a big 16.1 inch FHD display. Is that too big for 1080p? Some would argue it is, but this is still a decent price for the specs, and it'll run most things you can throw at it, albeit not at ultra settings in 4K.

This isn't the only Victus model on sale at the moment: check out the full range on the HP website.

EOFY handheld PC deals

Asus ROG Ally X
Save AU$302
Asus ROG Ally X: was AU$1,599 now AU$1,297 at Amazon

The Ally X received a stunning 91 / 100 score in our 2024 review, with Nick praising its effective and quiet cooling, improved performance over the All, and great battery life. It is expensive compared to the Steam Deck (and nowadays I can't really go without those trackpads) but if you're after a good Windows gaming handheld, you can't really go wrong here.

Lenovo Legion Go S
Lenovo Legion Go S : was AU$1,199 now AU$899 at Amazon

Save AU$300

A nice discount on this competent, gorgeous and comfortable handheld gaming PC. It boasts good performance, a great 8-inch screen, and a 144Hz refresh rate, though we criticised its "poor performance compared to current-gen handhelds". Still, if you're after something like this and want hardware a bit more advanced than the Steam Deck OLED, it's well worth consideration.

EOFY gaming monitor deals

Alienware 34 AW3425DW 34 inch gaming monitor
Save AU$375
Alienware 34 AW3425DW 34 inch gaming monitor: was AU$1,499 now AU$1,124 at Amazon

An all-time low on this extremely lush 34 inch OLED gaming monitor, which has great HDR, a brilliant widescreen QL-OLED display, and a frankly absurd 240Hz refresh rate. Not convinced? Our review goes over the pros and cons, the latter including its "relatively low pixel density".

Samsung Odyssey G51C 32-inch gaming monitor
Save AU$272
Samsung Odyssey G51C 32-inch gaming monitor: was AU$599 now AU$327 at Amazon

If you're a mid-ranger who prefers 1440p with a silky frame rate, this Samsung is a workhorse. It's a great price for a 32" display, though if you're after something smaller and under AU$300, the 27" version is also discounted, down to AU$299. Both displays come with 1ms response times, 165Hz refresh rates and AMD Freesync Premium Pro.

EOFY gaming mouse deals

SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless gaming mouse
Save AU$102.16
SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless gaming mouse: was AU$229 now AU$126.84 at Amazon

Let's face it: this thing looks kinda gross. Or... elite? It sure does have RGB emanating from the inside. Don't let my hang-ups get you down, though: our review was quite positive, praising its light weight, responsiveness and robust wireless connectivity. This was down to AU$116 earlier in the week, but this slightly higher price is still good considering the RRP.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed wireless gaming mouse
Save AU$70.95
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed wireless gaming mouse: was AU$299.95 now AU$229 at Amazon

A decent chunk off the RRP of this premium Logitech rodent, which boasts five programmable buttons and an astonishing 95 hours battery life on a single charge. Boasts a 32K DPI sensor and up to 8 kHz polling. Also available in Black for AU$195.

EOFY gaming headset deals

Logitech  G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Headset 
Save AU$151.95
Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Headset : was AU$449.95 now AU$298 at Amazon

It's perfectly understandable if you don't want to fork out AU$450 for a gaming headset. You're not alone! But maybe this drastic reduction makes it a bit more doable. This is a pro-level headset with 50mm graphene drivers, DTS:X Headphone 2.0—7.1 Surround, Bluetooth, USB and 3.5mm connectivity, and support for PC, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

Corsair HS60 Haptic gaming headset
Save AU$89.83
Corsair HS60 Haptic gaming headset: was AU$189 now AU$99.17 at Amazon

This was down to AU$73 last month, but this slighter discount is still worth consideration. When you can't get enough bass, the next step is, of course, haptic bass. In other words, you're really going to feel these on your dome, and if you don't trust me, perhaps our review from 2020 will convince you. Of course, bass lovers need only apply, but if this is you, we also love the build quality of these cans, and the sound is pretty damn good as well.

Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset
Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset: was AU$279 now AU$159 at Amazon

Save AU$120

This discount almost hits the AU$150 offer we saw during last year's Black Friday, but misses it by a (possibly negligible) AU$9. The Corsair HS80 Max Wireless Gaming Headset offers low-latency 2.4Ghz wireless audio and Bluetooth connectivity, along with high-fidelity 24bit/96kHz sound and support for Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio.

HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless
HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless: was AU$299 now AU$179 at Amazon

Save AU$120

This is pretty much the best price we've seen on these wireless cans since release. They boast a frankly-unbelievable (but true) 300 hours of battery life, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, and the Cloud series' now iconic tough-as-guts aluminum frame. Make note this is a deskbound headset: it uses 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity, but has no Bluetooth for on-the-go listening.

EOFY controller deals

Xbox Series X|S Controller
Save AU$25.95
Xbox Series X|S Controller: was AU$89.95 now AU$64 at Amazon

Yep, anyone who keeps an eye on these things (chiefly, us) knows that you should never pay RRP for an Xbox controller. The white controller was down to AU$58 last week, but that has since sold out, leaving some varieties at the slightly higher AU$64. These are also great for PC use, with Bluetooth compatibility straight out of the box.

Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra
Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra: was AU$329.95 now AU$249 at Amazon

Save AU$80.95

Note that this isn't an all time low: it was down to AU$229 during Black Friday last year. Still, this beauty used to be our favourite drift-free hall effect gamepad before it was dethroned by the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro, so if you're in the market for one, this is a decent price. I still love this controller and use it daily, especially due to its super-tactile microswitches. The onboard display is more useful than you'd think, and while the RGB is a little superfluous, it feels extremely good in the hands. Read my 90 / 100 review if you're unconvinced.

EOFY gaming keyboard deals

Corsair K70 RGB Pro
Corsair K70 RGB Pro: was AU$249 now AU$199 at Amazon

Save AU$50

A welcome discount on this premium slab, which was down to AU$160 but is still worth consideration at AU$199. The RGB is typically stunning, and the build is very robust: you could use it to knock out an intruder. It features 8,000Hz hyper-polling, 4,000Hz key scanning, PBT Double-shot Pro keycaps and yeah: it looks great.

Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless
Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless: was AU$299 now AU$219 at Amazon

Save AU$80

A mild but welcome 27% off this brilliant gaming keyboard, which won our Editor's Pick badge and a 93 / 100 score back in 2023. It boasts brilliant switch feel, effective sound dampening, a cleverly modular multimedia wheel, and an extremely robust build. It ain't cheap even on sale, and it's been as low as AU$199 in the past, but this is still a nice discount.

Asus ROG Azoth 75% wireless gaming keyboard
Asus ROG Azoth 75% wireless gaming keyboard: was AU$399 now AU$292 at Amazon

Save AU$107

Not quite as good a discount as Black Friday (it was down to a record AU$279 back then) but this is still a welcome price for a gorgeous 75% keyboard that's usually way too pricey. It has both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, amazing gasket mount keys, and an OLED display at the top right corner so that you don't always have to use Asus's (often annoying) desktop software. If you prefer the white model, that's going for AU$304.

EOFY gaming chair deals

ErgoTune Supreme
ErgoTune Supreme: was AU$799 now AU$649 at ErgoTune

Save AU$150

While this ergonomic chair isn't really marketed as a gaming chair, I use one for gaming and have done so for years. I even reviewed it back in 2023. It doesn't leave a great first impression, but the initial discomfort gives way to better posture.

When will EOFY sales start in 2025?

Logic would suggest that the sales should begin at the end of the financial year, but if there's one thing we've learned about sales events over the years, it's that logic is a precious and rare commodity! So you can expect Australia's EOFY sales to kick off in the weeks before June 30 (the official "last day" of the financial year) and then keep running for most of July.

Compared to the likes of Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday, the EOFY sales period is amorphous: it kinda just runs for as long as every individual retailer wants, and that can often be upwards of a month. So yes, it's probably worth waiting until June, at the very earliest, to make any non-essential purchases.

Are EOFY sales good for PC gaming products?

Actually, yes! Chiefly because the likes of Mwave get involved, so there's every chance you'll find a good discount on big ticket items like gaming monitors or gaming laptops. But you can also expect to pick up some great deals on keyboards, mice, and headsets from the likes of Amazon, eBay and more.

In many ways, EOFY (and Black Friday) are the best times to pick up PC gaming gear—more so than Prime Day for example. It's because a range of specialist merchants get involved, ranging the aforementioned Mwave, through to PC brands themselves, including Lenovo, HP and Dell.
