It can be hard to find a powerful gaming laptop for less than £1000 / $1000 these days, so to help you find one that can still play games to a decent extent, we’ve put together this list of all the best budget gaming laptop deals you can buy right now. We’ve looked at loads of gaming laptop deals in both the UK and US, the ones you’ll find below are what we think represent the best value for money. While most will struggle to play games on max settings, there are still a couple of RTX 2060 laptops to be found in this price range, as well as plenty with high refresh rate displays. So read on for all of this week’s best budget gaming laptop deals happening in the UK and US.
If you’re looking for a gaming laptop with a high refresh rate display and buckets of storage, then have Newegg got the deal for you. Today only, you can get $500 off this MSI GF65 Thin, which comes with a full-fat RTX 2060 graphics chip (not one of Nvidia’s energy efficient Max-Q versions) to make the most of its 120Hz 1920×1080 display, a 1TB SSD, plus a Core i7 CPU and a whopping 32GB of RAM. Normally $1900, this well-specced machine can now be had for $1400.
After plumbing the depths of PlayStations for a fortnight, Spelunky 2 arrived on PC today. Grab your whip and hat, and hit the Moon to explore new dungeons full of monsters, treasures, and ways to die while doing something you initially thought was quite clever. Online multiplayer isn’t in at launch, mind, so you’ll have to before you can experience the comfort/mischief/catastrophe of playing with a pal not within punching distance.
Spelunky 1 felt so precision engineered, so complete, so perfect, that the announcement of Spelunky 2 seemed like the reveal of a new wrist watch. If it had a fancier strap and more cogs, at best, I’d still just be hoping that it told me the correct time.
Frontier Developments today announced that they’ll soon give the Elite Dangerous expansion Horizons free to all players, letting everyone roll around planets in spacecars before the next upcoming expansion invites us to walk on them with our own two spacefeet. The Horizons season pass has covered almost five years of new features, including character customisation, the ability to pilot ships cooperatively with a crew, and those spacecars. It has cost £20/€25/$30 (though sales often took it down to £5) so free is quite nice. People who have bought Horizons will get an exclusive paint job as thanks, mind.
Steelseries are having a 20% off sale on their online store today, making it a great time to pick up one of our favourite gaming headset and gaming mice recommendations on the cheap. It’s not just headsets and mice that are discounted, either. The sale is store-wide, covering everything from keyboards, mouse pads, controllers and accessories, including those natty Cyberpunk 2077 add-ons for the Arctis Pro.

Bravo Six to readership, Call Of Duty: Warzone Season 6 is out right now on all platforms. Drop into Verdansk and you’ll find a brand spanking new subway system to commute on, new guns to pick up, and a new battle pass replete with goodies. The main goodie being a vampire bat called Edward who will chew on your opponent’s face for you. Delightful.
