Video Game Release & Sale Watch

Why this is recommended

Buying at the historical low instead of full price is $20 to $40 a game; a free game or a subscription removal date is worth a night. Over a year that is well past the membership.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

Anyone who buys more than a few games a year, and every parent buying for a kid.

When it runs

Store sales go live at 10am Pacific and release-date news breaks during the US day

Scope

Games from the 40 largest publishers and notable indies; Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop, Epic, GOG and Humble all-time lows on top-100 titles; Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, Nintendo Switch Online and Ubisoft+ additions and departures; free giveaways; patches, shutdowns and seasons for the 25 biggest live games; physical, controller and console restocks at retail price

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Release dates, delays and review embargoes for the big titles, historical-low prices on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo stores, Game Pass, PS Plus and other subscription additions and removals, free game giveaways, pre-order bonuses, patch and server news for the biggest live games and physical restocks, with the game or store first.

Track PC and console gaming. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 30 hours: release dates, delays and review embargo lifts for games from the 40 largest publishers and notable indies; Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop, Epic, GOG and Humble sales where a top-100 title hits its all-time low; Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, Nintendo Switch Online and Ubisoft+ additions and leaving-soon dates; free game giveaways with claim deadlines; major patches, server shutdowns, season starts and account changes for the 25 biggest live games; and physical edition, controller and console restocks at retail price. Prefer store pages, publisher announcements, IsThereAnyDeal, Deku Deals and established gaming reporting; ignore rumors, leaks and affiliate roundups. Put the game or store first in the title with the price and end time. Use high severity for an all-time low on a top-20 title, a free giveaway ending within 24 hours, or a delay of a major release. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, the price, the deadline, where to get it, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
