Based on data spotted on SteamDB, the Steam store may soon introduce a price history feature that gives gamers a glimpse of prior discounts. However, so far it only seems to display a ’30-day low’ tag – something you may be familiar with on other retailers such as Amazon. No doubt it will be a nice addition, but we can’t say it will stop us from using alternative sites.

SteamDB itself gives players full access to a game’s price history, notably tagging ‘lowest recorded price’ and displaying a visual graph that tracks exactly when and by how much a game has been discounted over its lifetime. In reaction to the leaked data, players are already saying that 30 days simply isn’t enough to really understand if you’re getting a solid deal.

30-day low price history may appear on Steam soon in more regions

It’s important to note that this feature has existed since 2023 in some European Union countries to comply with consumer protection laws known as the Omnibus Directive. However, the recent sighting may point towards a more global rollout.

Veteran Steam users will know that the seasonal sales often provide the biggest discounts of the year. The most recent was the Spring Sale last month, boasting discounts of up to 95% off. Don’t worry if you missed out – there are plenty more Steam sales to go in 2026, with the Summer Sale arriving in late June.

Many big offers on Steam are focused on the major sales events, so a ’30-day low’ is unlikely to paint the full picture. Below, you can see a 2-year history of the price of Stardew Valley, courtesy of SteamDB. The game matched its all-time low (on Steam) of $7.49 in the United States, a 50% discount. However, you can also see that it had a lesser discount between then and the previous low in July 2025. This is the sort of data you may miss out on if you don’t do the extra research.

All in all, while something like a 30-day low tag would be a nice addition to the Steam store that gives all players a heads-up, it’s still well worth spending some time on sites like SteamDB to really know if you’re getting a solid deal. Better yet, the existing SteamDB extension lets users see a wide array of statistics directly on the store page, including all-time low pricing.
