It’s almost Father’s Day 2026, with the big day arriving on Sunday, September 6 in Australia.
If you’ve got a gamer-obsessed father (or father figure), it’s an ideal time to help upgrade any ageing consoles (if you have the means) or add some fun accessories to dad’s existing set-up. Whether he’s a staunch keyboard warrior or has been obsessed with his PlayStation or Xbox his entire life, I’ve gathered 10 of the best gaming-specific deals for Father’s Day below.
It is worth noting, though, I haven’t included specific games in the list, largely because all gamer dads are different — and their playing preferences reflect that. Instead, I’ve selected some fun consoles, peripherals and accessories to make every dad’s gaming experience better.
All of these items come from top-rated retailers, like Amazon, JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys, with each claiming fast delivery in time for the big day. I’ll stop with the waffling now — here are the best Father’s Day gaming gifts I’ve found this year.
