Tracking video game deals does not have to mean opening five tabs every morning. You can set up an AI assistant to check for deals on a schedule and email you a clean summary instead.
Why Checking Manually Gets Old Fast
Game sales pop up constantly. Steam runs weekend sales. Epic drops a free game every week. PlayStation and Xbox have flash deals that expire in 48 hours. GOG runs mystery sales with no warning.
If you want to catch these, you end up checking four or five websites every single day. That adds up fast, and most of the time there is nothing new anyway.
There is a better way.
What You Actually Want to Track
Before setting up any alerts, think about what you care about. Being specific saves you from a flood of deals you do not need.
Good things to track:
- Price drops on specific games or a wishlist genre (e.g. "indie RPGs under $10")
- Free game giveaways from Epic, Prime Gaming, or GOG
- Sales on a specific platform like Steam or the Nintendo eShop
- New releases from your favorite studio or publisher
- Deals on gaming hardware like controllers or headsets
The more specific you are, the more useful your updates will be.
How to Set This Up With AIDular
AIDular is an AI research assistant that searches the web on a schedule and emails you a sourced report. You just describe what you want tracked in plain English, pick how often you want updates, and it handles the rest.
Here is an example prompt you can copy and paste straight into AIDular:
"Search for the latest free game giveaways on Epic Games, Prime Gaming, and GOG. Also find any Steam sales on open-world RPGs under $15. Send me a weekly summary every Friday."
That is all you need to type. No code. No RSS feeds. No browser extensions. AIDular searches the web, pulls the relevant results, and emails you a clean report with sources so you can click through and grab the deals yourself.
You can also go narrower. If you only care about one franchise, you could write:
"Find any sales or discounts on FromSoftware games across Steam, PlayStation Store, and Xbox. Weekly report every Sunday."
Choosing Your Schedule
- Weekly works well for most game deals. Sales usually run for at least a few days.
- Daily makes sense if you are hunting for 24-hour flash deals or daily freebies.
- Monthly is great if you just want a low-noise summary of the biggest sales each month.
You can adjust this any time.
What You Get in the Email
AIDular sends a plain, readable report. Each item has a short description and a source link. You are not reading through ads or scrolling past unrelated content. It is just the deals and where to find them.
The Lite plan is free, so there is no reason not to try it.
A Smarter Way to Game on a Budget
Missing a sale on a game you have wanted for months is genuinely frustrating. But spending 20 minutes a day checking storefronts is not the answer either.
Setting up one AIDular prompt takes about two minutes. After that, your inbox does the watching, and you only pay attention when something worth buying actually shows up.
