No need for alarm, but Father’s Day 2026 is June 21st, this coming Sunday. Time flies and with so many obligations its hard to keep the days straight. That doesn’t mean you don’t care about Dad though. And luckily it isn’t too late to snag some proper gifts for the nerdy father in your life.
Gaming Accessories
No video game set up is complete without its peripheries. Whether console or PC, there’s a must have accessory just waiting to land in your father’s hands. Online co-op games have been popular for years and only get more immersive as times goes on. It’s imperative to have a good headset to take in key audio queues as well as stay in contact with your teammates for those hero moments.
Razer has the right headset ready for any game dad may find himself playing. First up, is the Kraken V4 Pro. The V4 pro is a wireless headset with its own control hub to fine tune dad’s audio experience. And don’t worry, the V4 pro interfaces with PC, Mac, PS5, Switch, and Steam Deck. For next day shipping (depending on your area) and a 5% discount, check out the V4 Pro here. Xbox dads can enjoy the Steel Series Arctis Nova 7X. This slick wireless headset is currently on sale for $179.
For the dads with the PC set up, a new mouse or keyboard can be just the thing to bring more enjoyment out of his current gaming experience. The Razor Cobra HyperSpeed is a slick looking mouse with nine customizable controls, RGB lighting, and can connect via Bluetooth or USB C. Or maybe dad enjoys the ASMR of a good mechanical keyboard. The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard may be just the keyboard for him. With 8 dedicated macro keys and a customizable dial, dad can fine tune his keyboard. This includes the RGB glow. And there’s no such thing as “too much RGB” so consider a Firefly V2 Pro deskmat, a fully illuminated RGB pad for that extra (or additional) burst of color.
Toys and Collectibles
May we age, but never get old at heart. For dads who can’t get enough of Mando or his adorable companion there is this incredible Razor Crest 930 piece Lego set. Or gift some nostalgia with this Game Boy Lego set complete with Legend of Zelda and Super Mario cartridges. Add an LED light set alongside the Game Boy Lego set to add a little pizzazz to the display once its built.
With the new Call of Duty coming out later this year, dad can store his controller in style with this Monkeybomb controller holder. It’s also compatible with smart phones. Destiny 2 may have received its last live service update, but the game and its memories will live on for years to come. For the fathers who moonlight as Guardians, perhaps a replica of one of their favorites exotics, the Thorn or a Nezarec’s Sin replica. Taking it even farther back, dress up dad’s desk or end table with this Halo light-up Covenant lamp. However, if dad isn’t a physical collector consider a cameo from one of his favorite voice actors. Cameo.com is currently having a sale for Father’s Day with certain videos being available within 24-hours.
Pixels and Pages
What would a Father’s Day be without a new game or two to play? God of War is receiving its newest installment with Laufey coming soon. Get dad ready with God of War: Ragnorak on PS5. However, if your dad has been patiently awaiting the newest Grand Theft Auto, give him a trip down memory lane with the Switch Trilogy Definitive Edition. Grab Tekken 8 on xbox for a steal at $18 for the dads who can’t get enough of fighting games.
Games can transcend the screen and live on in book form. If dad’s end table is looking a little empty, perhaps the Art and Making of Arcane (and at a steep 43% discount too). Or maybe dad has thousands of hours in Skyrim and just can’t get enough. Look no farther than The Skyrim Library, volumes I through III. Another option is a trip down memory lane with this incredible look back at the art of Metroid Prime 1-3. With CDPR head down on the next adventure in the world of Cyberpunk, why not celebrate the streets of Night City with The World of Cyberpunk 2077.
I hope every dad has an incredible Father’s Day and that their inner child can enjoy some guilt-free gaming.
