The easiest way to track video game sales is to set up an automatic search that checks for deals and sends the results straight to your inbox. No more refreshing store pages every day.
The Problem With Checking Manually
Most gamers have a wishlist that never seems to shrink. You keep an eye on Steam, Epic Games, GOG, PlayStation Store, maybe Xbox too. By the time you remember to check, the sale is already over. Or worse, you buy something at full price and it goes on sale three days later.
Refreshing store pages is boring, time-consuming, and easy to forget. There has to be a better way.
What You Actually Need to Track
Game deals come from a lot of places. A good tracker should cover:
- Seasonal sales (Steam Summer Sale, Black Friday, Holiday Sale, etc.)
- Weekly free games on Epic Games Store
- Flash sales that only last 24-48 hours
- Price drops on specific games you have your eye on
- Bundle deals from sites like Humble Bundle
The tricky part is that these happen on different platforms, on different schedules, and are announced in different places (store pages, Reddit, gaming news sites, social media).
How to Set Up AIDular to Do It for You
AIDular is a free AI research assistant that searches the web on a schedule and emails you a clean report. You just tell it what to look for 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 video game sales, price drops, and free game offers from Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Humble Bundle, and PlayStation Store. Include any limited-time deals or upcoming seasonal sales announced this week."
Set it to weekly, and every Monday morning you get a tidy list of what is on sale, what is free, and what big sales are coming up. You spend zero time scrolling.
If you are watching a specific game, you can make it more targeted:
"Check for any price drops or sale announcements for [Game Title] across major PC and console game stores."
Why This Works Better Than Store Notifications
Store notifications are hit and miss. They only tell you about their own sales, and they are easy to miss in a cluttered inbox or notification tray. You also still have to open the app and browse around.
AIDular pulls from multiple sources at once, summarises what it finds, and puts it all in one email. You read it in two minutes and know exactly what is worth buying this week.
The Lite plan at aidular.com is free, so there is no cost to try it.
A Few Extra Tips
- Set a weekly budget before you read your deal report. It is easy to overspend when everything looks cheap.
- Use AIDular to track reviews too. Add something like "include user review scores" to your prompt so you are not impulse-buying a bad game on sale.
- Time your searches well. Steam's biggest sales happen in June, November, and December. You can ask AIDular to give you a heads-up a week before those periods start.
Start Saving Money Without the Effort
Your time is worth more than refreshing a store page every day. Set up a quick AIDular report, let it do the searching, and spend that time actually playing games instead.
