About ItemDealFinder

PC game prices and price history from Steam, GOG, the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store, kept honest about what the site actually knows.

What this site is

ItemDealFinder tracks the price of PC games on Steam, GOG, the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store, and shows you what each one costs now, what it has cost before, and whether today’s price is actually a good one. Games join the catalog from the stores’ own lists — Steam’s top sellers, specials, featured, most-played and top releases; Epic’s sale and giveaway feeds; GOG’s bestselling, trending and discounted lists — checked every night, on top of a short list we added by hand.

We would rather cover fewer games accurately than every game badly. The nightly intake is capped, and a game whose store listing we cannot match with confidence is held for a person to check rather than guessed.

Where the numbers come from

  • Prices: Steam, GOG, the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store. A scheduled job reads each store’s public price data, at most once a day per game and store. The games readers open most are re-priced every day; the rest every few days to every two weeks, depending on how recently anyone looked at them; a game nobody has opened in a month stops being checked until someone does. A game page shows every store we hold a price for, so a game sold in one place shows one price, not a comparison.
  • Free games: giveaways and Prime. The free games page is built from the stores’ own public giveaway lists and from Amazon’s Prime Gaming claims page, checked daily. A giveaway is yours to keep; a Prime title is free only with an active Amazon Prime membership, and the card says which store it is redeemed on.
  • Price history is what we observed. Every low and every “cheapest ever” on the site is the lowest price we recorded since we started watching that game. It is not the lowest price that has ever existed.
  • The site is rebuilt at least once a day. Pages are static files, so a price you see was true as of the last build, not as of this second. Check the store page before you buy.

What this site is not

  • We are not a store. Nothing is sold here and we never handle your payment.
  • We do not sell game keys and we are not a key reseller.
  • Nothing here needs an account. A wishlist, a price watch, a sign-in and the weekly email are each optional, and each stops in one click.
  • We are independent: not owned by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Valve, Epic Games, or any store we link to. Game names and artwork belong to their owners.

How we make money

We intend to earn affiliate commission on some outbound links: when a store has an affiliate programme and accepts us into it, a link to that store can carry a referral tag, and the store pays us a share of what you spend. It never changes your price.

As of today no store’s programme has approved us and no link on this site carries a referral tag. Every page carries an affiliate disclosure in its footer regardless, because the possibility is the part worth telling you about in advance. When a programme does approve us, this page changes with it.

One thing stays true either way. An affiliate relationship never buys a game a better position, a better rating or a place in the catalog. The ordering on this site comes from the prices, not from who pays us, and this page is where we commit to that.

Wrong price, wrong game, a store you want covered, or a partnership question — email contact@itemdealfinder.com. A real person reads it. If you are reporting a bad price, a link to the game page helps.
