What BudgetGamer is
BudgetGamer is a web service for finding video game deals across stores, platforms and regions. It tracks prices and keeps price history so users can see how often a game has been discounted and its lowest recorded price. Users can make shareable wishlists and receive sale notifications for listed games; each wishlist can contain up to 100 items. The site lists PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Steam, Epic, GOG and Luna coverage, and advertises custom alerts for game sales, PS+ Essentials, Epic free games and Amazon Luna. Notifications are available through email, Telegram, Discord and push. BudgetGamer focuses on multiplatform games rather than covering every item on Steam. It does not sell games directly; instead, it links to official vendors for purchases. Since prices and availability can change rapidly, the service recommends checking with retailers before buying. BudgetGamer is free to use and supports regional price tracking.
