About
GamePriceMap tracks game prices across Steam and the Nintendo eShop, plus a small Xbox US pilot — regional pricing, current deals, historical lows and free games — for 42 games and growing.
Where the data comes from
| Data | Source | Updates |
|---|---|---|
| Steam regional prices | Steam storefront (18 regions) | daily |
| eShop regional prices | Nintendo storefront price service (16 regions) | daily |
| Xbox Store prices | Microsoft Store display catalog (US pilot, approved mappings only) | weekly |
| Multi-store PC deals | CheapShark (Steam, GOG, Fanatical, GMG, Humble …) | daily |
| Historical lows | CheapShark records + Nintendo eShop index + our own tracking since Jul 2026 | daily |
| Free games | Epic Games Store promotions + Steam 100% discounts | daily |
| Release calendar | Nintendo eShop listings + Steam coming-soon | weekly |
| Exchange rates | ExchangeRate-API (USD base) | daily |
Every refresh passes a validation gate before it is published: prices must be positive, discounts in range, currencies covered by current exchange rates and region coverage stable. When a source is unreachable we keep the last good data and say so on the status page — a stale number is never silently replaced with a wrong one.
What we will and won't do
We only list verified, authorized storefronts — no gray-market key resellers. Rankings are always ordered by price, never by commission. All-time lows are labeled with their provenance: externally recorded lows say so, and prices we observed ourselves say "lowest since we started tracking". Giveaway records are not treated as purchase prices.
