If you're a gamer (or happen to be shopping for one) clear some space on your calendar, because one of the biggest PC gaming sales of the year is officially back.
Intel Gamer Days 2026 kicks off today and runs all the way through September 13th. It's a full month dedicated to exclusive deals, deep discounts, and software bundles on some of the absolute best Intel-powered gaming tech on the market.
Whether you're looking to upgrade an aging setup, step into PC gaming for the very first time, or pick up a beast of a machine for streaming and content creation, here is everything you need to know about Intel Gamer Days and why it's a big deal.
What is Intel Gamer Days?
Simply put, Intel Gamer Days is a massive annual tech event where Intel partners up with major hardware brands and top-tier retailers across Canada to drop massive savings on gaming hardware.
From August 10 to September 13, you can expect deep discounts on powerful gaming desktops and laptops powered by Intel Core Ultra processors. We're talking about gear from industry giants like ASUS, Lenovo, and MSI, available at Canada's favorite tech retailers like Best Buy, Staples, Canada Computers, Memory Express, and Costco.
Why It Matters (And Why You Should Care)
If you've been waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger on a new rig, this is that moment.
Today's games are more demanding than ever. It's one of the things I discussed extensively with Intel earlier this year at one of the largest eSports events on the planet.
Whether you're trying to push maximum frame rates in fast-paced competitive shooters, diving into massive open-world titles, or running multi-app streaming and video editing setups, having a processor that can keep up is essential. Intel Core Ultra chips are built to tackle heavy gaming and heavy creative workloads without sweating.
Plus, the savings extend beyond just the hardware itself.
When you pick up a qualifying Intel-powered gaming device during Gamer Days, you'll also snag a complimentary software bundle. You get your choice of either STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ or Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis to instantly test out your new machine's capabilities!
You can check out the full lineup of deals by visiting your local tech retailer or jumping over to game.intel.com/gamerdays.

We've all dealt with "screen claustrophobia." You're at a coffee shop or on a flight, trying to balance a document or browser on one half of your screen while squinting at a spreadsheet on the other.
