How to monitor Steam price drops

Watch a game's purchase block and get an alert when a discount appears.

Steam wishlist emails only cover discounts Steam decides to send. A monitor on the store page catches any change to the price area on your schedule.

01

Start with the right page

The store.steampowered.com page for the exact game or bundle—use the base game's page rather than a franchise or search page.

Page type Steam store page
02

Select the signal, not the noise

Select the purchase block with the current price and discount percentage. Exclude reviews, news posts, and "more like this" recommendations.

In the page-area picker, keep the smallest section that still contains enough context to understand the alert.

03

Tune the alert

Schedule

Daily works well: Steam discounts start and end at fixed times, and seasonal sales run for days rather than hours.

Keyword filter

Leave this blank to receive any change within your selected area.

Delivery

Start with email. Connect Zapier or IFTTT when the alert needs to enter another workflow.

04

Preview, save, and refine

Check that Preview contains the information you expect, then save the monitor. If the first alerts include unrelated content, edit the monitor and make the selected area smaller.

Good to know

Steam shows regional prices based on the visitor's location, so the monitored currency may differ from yours. Age-gated titles show a verification page instead of the store page and cannot be monitored reliably.
