There are so many amazing gaming gifts to give this year, from popular consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox X to new games like Pokemon Violet. There is also plenty of great gaming tech on the market, including gaming monitors, headsets, keyboards and more that can help provide a better gaming experience. If you're not sure what to get the gamers in your life for Hannukah or Christmas this year, keep reading to explore the hottest gaming gifts of 2022.
Consoles are always one of the most requested holiday gifts. Here are the top consoles of the year. Some of them are tricky to get ahold of, so start shopping early.
If you're hoping to buy someone in your life a Playstation 5 console, you'll want to start looking now -- they're still in short supply. You can use the buttons below to check stock at all the major retailers.
If you want to guarantee you'll have a PS5 to put under the Christmas tree this year, your best bet is likely resale site Stock X. But note, you'll have to pay a premium.
The Nintendo Switch OLED has a larger, seven-inch OLED screen that offers vivid colors, deeper blacks and better contrast than previous Nintendo Switch models when used in hand-held mode. It also comes with a wider kickstand, a new dock style, twice the storage and improved speakers for an even better gaming experience.
The Nintendo Switch OLED Model is now the third Switch console in Nintendo's lineup. The OLED Switch retails for about $350, or $50 more than the non-OLED Nintendo Switch model ($299).
Like with the rival PlayStation 5 console, playing Nintendo Switch games online requires a paid membership. The gift recipient can pay for this on their own, but we think it's a smarter idea to give them a card for a one-year membership to Nintendo Switch Online with their new console. The membership includes access to a curated library of more than 70 classic NES and SNES games.
You'll save a little bit of money buying it at Amazon, rather than direct from Nintendo.
Nintendo Switch Online membership card (1 year), $20
The Xbox Series X console is the fastest and most powerful Xbox ever, with 12 teraflops of processing power. The gaming device is backward-compatible with thousands of games from all four generations of Xbox consoles.

The Meta Quest 2 is a virtual reality headset that lets you explore the Metaverse and get inside your favorite games. This was a super popular holiday gift last year and is sure to be at the top of plenty of Christmas lists this year as well. It was originally sold and marketed as the Oculus Quest 2, so you might still see that on some of your family's holiday wish lists.
Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headset, $300
