As we gathered this week, Steam will show the minimum price of games to prevent cheating in the application of the European regulation, which, however, adds a limitation to the territorial restriction to an extent that is not bad, but could be better.

In short, Steam will start displaying minimum price of games for the last month, or in the last thirty days, all with the aim of reducing, or at least trying to, cheating on price changes by developers, especially during sales periods. A measure that, as we told you, adds to others Valve has taken on its own to stamp out abuse on Steam.

However, the earlier novelty, i.e. displaying the minimum price that the game had in the last thirty days, will only be introduced in the European Union and not all at once, but in parts, so the restriction is not only temporary. but territorial. That means there’s a much better way of doing things and it’s available to everyone, so let’s go for it.

There is actually a very simple way you can see this the historical price of each game on Steam, the historical minimum price at which the game has been sold on Steam since launch; and many other related data including markets, currencies, timeline… The only thing you need to get all this information when you shop on Steam is the SteamDB web browser extension.

As you already know, and if we haven’t told you, SteamDB is a service that collects tons of data from Steam, including the price of games, which is what we’re interested in now. So we’re going to skip over everything SteamDB does and all its expansion options, which are few and far between. Just look at the following image:

And remember where lowest price ever, a must-see when shopping on Steam. Not only the price will be listed there, but also the minimum percentage by which the game was discounted. There is no more. If you want to dive into the SteamDB page with the data for each game, click the link. Install the extension and try it yourself:

• SteamDB for Chrome
• SteamDB for Firefox
• SteamDB for Microsoft Edge

Note that the Chrome extension is useful for Chromium derivatives like Brave, Opera, Vivaldi (even Edge, even if you already have it in your store).

After installation, the configuration page will open with all its options, and there are a few of them, although if you are only interested in the one that concerns us, the price of the games, you can disable the rest (all except “Show the lowest recorded price on the pages of the application »). Conversely, if you want to see everything it has to offer, check it out, and keep in mind that if you’re logged into Steam and SteamDB, all the better.

Also note that this extension only collects game prices on Steam and that there are other stores on the internet that sell you cheaper Steam keys. But that’s another story. Because it’s about getting the Amazon products you’re interested in at the best price, an option that’s worth the redundancy and might be of interest to you.
