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, though at this point you're probably better off preparing for the forthcoming Amazon Prime Day sales.

Without further ado:

EOFY sales 2025: the best retailers to watch

Early EOFY deals

Early EOFY laptop deals

Lenovo  Legion Pro 7i 16-inch | Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 Ti / 64GB / 1TB SSD
Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16-inch | Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 Ti / 64GB / 1TB SSD: was AU$5,729 now AU$4,599 at Lenovo AU

Save AU$1,130

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 U, with 1TB of storage and 64GB 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
HP Victus 16.1 inch gaming laptop: was AU$2,799 now AU$1,999 at HP Store

Save AU$800

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.

Early EOFY gamepad and controller deals

Early EOFY gaming mouse deals

SteelSeries Rival 3 wired gaming mouse
SteelSeries Rival 3 wired gaming mouse: was AU$79 now AU$36.91 at Amazon

Save AU$42.09

More than 50% off this workhorse rodent, dipping it well-and-truly into both "impulse buy" and "backup mouse" territory. This wired model boasts six buttons, a 8,500 I optical sensor and "3-zone" RGB, so even though this one is on the cheaper end of the spectrum, you can still make it shine in your fave colours.

Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra
Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra: was AU$329.95 now AU$292.21 at Amazon

Save AU$37.74

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.

8BitDo Arcade Stick (Nintendo Switch / Windows)
8BitDo Arcade Stick (Nintendo Switch / Windows): was AU$189.95 now AU$141.03 at Amazon

Save AU$48.92

This betters, by more than AU$10, the Black Friday 2024 discount on this fight stick. You're not playing fighting games on a keyboard, are you? I mean, that's fine if you are, but a controller is immeasurably better for this genre, and if you want to go all-in, a fight stick is even better. This 8BitDo board, sporting a fairly familiar colour palette, s both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity for Nintendo Switch and Windows PCs.

Early EOFY gaming keyboard deals

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

Save AU$50

Not quite the AU$80 discount we got during Black Friday last year, but nevertheless a welcome discount on this slab. 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 Falchion RX Low Profile wireless gaming keyboard
ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile wireless gaming keyboard: was AU$279 now AU$200 at Amazon

Save AU$79

If you want your keyboard to take up as little space as possible, this is a wireless 65 percenter with low profile optical switches. Small doesn't mean discreet though, so rest assured there's plenty of RGB on this thing. The ROG Falchion RX is the favourite low profile keyboard in our best gaming keyboard list, ticking just about every must-have box including great switches, a sturdy build, and plenty of connectivity options. This was down to AU$179 during Black Friday last year, so if you want the lowest price, maybe wait a spell.

Early EOFY gaming chair deals

ErgoTune Supreme
ErgoTune Supreme: was AU$799 now AU$499 at au.ergotune.com

Save AU$399

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.

Early EOFY handheld gaming deals

Iniu B62 65W 20,000mAh power bank
Iniu B62 65W 20,000mAh power bank: was AU$79.99 now AU$55.99 at Amazon

Save AU$24.50

This 65W power bank is perfect for getting your Steam Deck back to life when you're on the go. The 20,000 mAh capacity also makes it a good option for phones and laptops, so it's a versatile affair that you likely won't regret having around. It's light, efficient, and well worth a purchase with this AU$24 discount.

Also consider the 100W, 25,000mAh Iniu B63 for $76.49.

JSAUX Docking Station for Steam Deck OLED
JSAUX Docking Station for Steam Deck OLED: was AU$49.99 now AU$42.49 at Amazon

Save AU$7.50

With Steam Deck now available in Australia, it's the time to start hunting for deals on all-important Steam Deck accessories. Among the most attractive peripherals is a dock, all the better to plug the handheld into a monitor or TV, and this one is a more entry level version of our favourite Steam Deck dock. Ports include HDMI 2.0, which s 4K at 60Hz, a 100Mbps ethernet port, two USB-A 2.0 ports and a USB-C with charging through. Probably all you'll need to start with.

EXPIRED Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 34 inch gaming monitor | AU$1,899 AU$1,199 at Mwave

A tempting AU$700 off this ultrawide QHD monitor. It's a huge 34 inch affair with a 175Hz refresh rate, a curve, and most attractively, a stunning OLED display. If it matters to you, it also has built-in smart TV functionality.

EXPIRED DualSense wireless controllers | AU$109.95starting from AU$67 at Amazon

EXPIRED DualSense wireless controllers | AU$109.95 starting from AU$67 at Amazon

For some reason, Amazon has a substantial discount on some DualSense controller colour variants, and a less substantial discount on others (update: and also many that have since sold out). Why? Whether the reason is bland or conspiratorial, it's good news for people who prefer certain coloured controllers, I guess. This is on our list of the best controllers for PC gaming, mostly thanks to its adaptive triggers and haptic rumble.

EXPIRED HP Omen 17 | RTX 4090 | i9 13900HX | 32GB RAM | 2TB SSD | 2560 x 1440 @ 240Hz | 17.3-inch | AU $6,499 AU$3,691 at HP eBay (save AU$2,808)

At AU$3,691, this is a cracking price for a near god-tier gaming laptop that's tough to top. An RTX 4090, i9 13900HX and 32GB of RAM are specs that will stand up to all but the most powerful and expensive desktops. This is the kind of machine you'll be proud to show off. Enter the HPJUN20 code to take a huge 20% off what would already be a reasonable price, bringing it down to just AU$3,691.

EXPIRED Up to AU$330 off Secretlab chairs during EOFY

EXPIRED Up to AU$330 off Secretlab chairs during EOFY

It's near unanimous that Secretlab build the best gaming chairs on the market (they're at the top of our best gaming chairs list), and now is a better time than ever to nab yourself a throne. Overall, Secretlab is offering up to AU$150 off its Titan Evo models, up to AU$330 off its Classics models, and if you're in the market for one of Secretlab's Magnus desks, those are going for up to AU$71 off.

EXPIRED Samsung 990 Pro 4TB M.2 SSD with Heatsink | AU$729 AU$423.90 at Amazon (save AU$306)

This is the lowest price the Samsung 990 Pro 4TB has ever been at Amazon. This is the heatsink equipped model too, so it's perfect for holding an ever expanding PS5 library, but it'll happily serve in any other role too. It might not Gen 5, but don't let that worry you. This is still a very speedy and responsive SSD. You'll need to enter the KNMVCZXXB code to qualify for the extra discount.

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.
