How We Track Prices

Learn how GamerScout monitors prices across 50+ stores to help you find the best deals on games.

1

Data Collection

Our automated systems continuously monitor prices from over 50 official stores and authorized retailers. This includes Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Humble Bundle, Green Man Gaming, Fanatical, and many more. We collect data multiple times per day to ensure accuracy.

2

Real-Time Updates

Prices change frequently, especially during sales. Our system updates prices every few hours, with more frequent checks during major sale events like Steam Summer Sale, Black Friday, and holiday promotions. This ensures you always see the most current prices.

3

Historical Analysis

We store historical price data to show you price trends over time. This helps you understand if a current deal is truly good or if the game has been cheaper before. Our "Historical Low" indicator shows when a game reaches its lowest recorded price.

4

Price Alerts

Set your desired price for any game, and we'll notify you via email when it drops to that level or below. You can also opt to receive alerts for historical lows, ensuring you never miss the best deals on games you're watching.

5

Store Verification

We only list prices from verified, trustworthy stores. Each store is evaluated for legitimacy, customer service, and reliability. We clearly distinguish between official stores and authorized key retailers so you can make informed decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the prices?

We strive for high accuracy by updating prices multiple times daily. However, prices can change rapidly, especially during flash sales. We recommend verifying the final price on the store's website before purchasing.

Do you track regional prices?

Yes! We track prices in multiple currencies and regions. Your location is automatically detected, but you can change your region in settings to compare prices globally.

What's the difference between official stores and key retailers?

Official stores (Steam, Epic, GOG) sell games directly. Key retailers sell game keys that you activate on these platforms. Both are legitimate, but key retailers often have lower prices. We clearly label each store type.

How do I set up price alerts?

Visit any game page and click "Set Price Alert." Enter your target price and email address. We'll notify you when the game reaches your price or hits a historical low.
