What is IsThereAnyDeal?
IsThereAnyDeal is a price-tracking site for PC games. It watches store listings and notifies you when a game you want drops to a price you're willing to pay. The homepage is essentially a live deal board: rows of titles with a discount percentage, current price, and the store offering it — for example, a game shown at -80% for $7.91 at GameBillet, or -100% at $0.00 on the Epic Games Store.
Its main draw is the waitlist. Instead of browsing sales, you add games you care about, set a target price, and let the site tell you when a matching deal appears. The homepage even surfaces a "Most Waitlisted in last 30 days" section, which doubles as a rough signal of what PC players are watching most closely.
H3 What you can actually do with it
- Track specific games. Add titles to a waitlist and get alerted on price drops rather than checking stores manually.
- Compare stores at a glance. Each deal lists the retailer, so you can see whether Steam, Fanatical, GreenManGaming, GameBillet, Ubisoft Store, Epic, or others currently has the better price.
- Browse curated sections. The page breaks deals into areas like New in Subscriptions, Latest Bundles, Giveaways, and Misc. Deals, so freebies and bundle value sit alongside straight discounts.
- Spot historical context. The discount percentage next to each price tells you how deep a cut is relative to the usual list price.
H3 Who it suits
It's most useful for patient PC buyers with a backlog or a wishlist — people who don't need a game on release day and would rather pay $8 than $40. It's less relevant if you mainly play on consoles, buy physical, or want a storefront to actually sell you the game; IsThereAnyDeal points you to the retailer, it doesn't sell keys itself.
H3 Trade-offs to keep in mind
The site reflects what stores publish, so regional pricing, currency, and availability can vary from what you see. A listed price is a lead, not a guarantee — confirm it at the retailer before buying. Deep discounts also cluster around older titles and publisher sales, so recent releases tend to sit at shallower cuts.
H3 A practical next step
Pick two or three games you'd genuinely play soon, add them to your waitlist with a realistic target price, and check the Giveaways and Bundles sections while you're there — that's where the free and unusually cheap finds tend to appear. For broader deal-hunting habits, Reddit communities and SteamDB can complement what you track here.
How can I use IsThereAnyDeal to track price drops for a specific game?
IsThereAnyDeal is a price-tracking site for PC game deals. You use it to watch a specific title and get notified when its price falls below a threshold you set, rather than checking store pages yourself.
The core workflow
- Search for the game by name and open its page. You will see current prices across stores, the historical lowest price, and a price history chart.
- Add it to your waitlist. The page evidence shows a "Most Waitlisted in last 30 days" section, so the waitlist is the site's main tracking mechanism.
- Set a target price — typically at or slightly above the all-time low shown on the chart. The site then alerts you when a listing hits that number.
- Choose how you want to be told: email, browser notification, or a feed you check yourself. A wishlist-style feed is easier if you track many games; email suits a small list.
What the deal data looks like
The page mixes several deal types, and it helps to know which one you are looking at:
| Section | What it usually means | Why it matters for tracking |
|---|---|---|
| Latest Bundles | Games sold in a bundle, often with a fixed expiry | Per-game value can beat a solo discount, but only if you want the other titles |
| Giveaways | Free for a limited window | Worth a separate alert; price trackers may not flag 100% off the same way |
| Misc. Deals | Discounts that do not fit the main store list | Easy to miss if you only watch one storefront |
| Waitlist ranking | What other users are watching | A rough signal of demand, not a price signal |
The excerpt also shows discount percentages and store names such as Steam, Fanatical, GreenManGaming, GameBillet, Ubisoft Store and Epic Game Store. The practical point: the same game can be cheapest at different stores on different days, so set your alert on the game, not on one shop.
A concrete example
Say you want a large single-player title. You find it at a modest discount on one store, but the history chart shows a much deeper discount months earlier. Set your target near that earlier low and wait. If it appears in a bundle before then, compare the bundle's total price against the solo price — a bundle is only a saving if you actually want the extra games.
Practical trade-offs
- Aggressive targets mean longer waits; a target a few percent above the historical low usually triggers far sooner.
- Regional pricing and store availability vary, so a price you see may not apply to your account.
- Giveaways and bundles often have short windows; notifications matter more than browsing.
Next step
Pick one game you are actively waiting on, add it to the waitlist, and set a target based on its historical low. For broader deal browsing, IsThereAnyDeal covers the aggregated store list, while storefront-specific pages such as Steam are useful for confirming regional price and refund terms before you buy.
What are the best current game deals and giveaways shown on IsThereAnyDeal?
IsThereAnyDeal aggregates current discounts and free offers across many stores, so the "best" deals are the ones matching games you already want. From the page evidence, the strongest listings cluster around deep discounts on well-known titles and a handful of 100% off giveaways.
Notable free offers (100% off)
- For Honor — $0.00 at Ubisoft Store
- Mindcop — $0.00 at Epic Game Store
- A listing at $0.00 on Epic Game Store (title truncated in the excerpt)
Standout discounts by genre
- Action/adventure: Watch_Dogs 2 (-96%), Far Cry 6 (-92%), Far Cry 5 (-88%), Assassin's Creed Origins (-88%), Assassin's Creed Odyssey (-84%), Red Dead Redemption 2 (-75%), Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut (-37%)
- Horror: Resident Evil 3 (2020) (-83%), Resident Evil 2 (2019) (-83%), Resident Evil Village (-79%), Resident Evil 4 (2023) (-79%), Silent Hill 2 (-68%), Silent Hill f (-60%)
- RPG: Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (-86%), Monster Hunter Rise (-83%), Disco Elysium - The Final Cut (-80%), Monster Hunter: World (-78%), Crusader Kings III (-73%), Elden Ring (-12%)
- Fighting/action: Devil May Cry 5 + Vergil (-79%), Street Fighter 6 (-57%), Devil May Cry HD Collection (-72%)
- Adventure/other: No Man's Sky (-67%), Death Stranding Director's Cut (-80%), Okami HD (-57%)
How to choose
- If you want the lowest spend, start with the 100% giveaways, then compare the sub-$10 group (Watch_Dogs 2 at $2.00, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen at $4.19, Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 6 at $4.80).
- If you prefer a specific series, the Resident Evil and Monster Hunter entries are discounted across multiple stores, so the same game may appear at different prices.
- For newer releases, discounts are shallower: Elden Ring (-12%), Onimusha: Way of the Sword (-18%), Silent Hill: Townfall (-25%), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (-30%), Monster Hunter Wilds (-33%).
Next step: Open the game's page on IsThereAnyDeal to see its price history and set a waitlist alert, since the "Most Waitlisted in last 30 days" section shows which titles other users are tracking for a deeper cut.
How do I set up waitlist notifications for games I want to buy?
Waitlist notifications on IsThereAnyDeal work by adding a game to your waitlist, then choosing how and when you want to be told about price changes. The site's "Most Waitlisted in last 30 days" section shows how widely this is used, and its deal lists show the kind of price movements that trigger alerts.
H3. The basic setup
- Create a free account and sign in. A waitlist tied to an account is what lets the site email you; a browser-only list won't notify you later.
- Search for the game by title and open its page.
- Click the waitlist option on that game page. You can repeat this for every title you're tracking.
- Open your waitlist settings and set the notification threshold — for example, only alert me when the price drops below a specific amount, or when it hits a chosen percentage off.
- Pick your delivery method. Email is the default for most people; some sites also offer browser or app notifications.
- Save the settings, then confirm the verification email if one arrives.
H3. What a practical setup looks like
Say you want Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2 but not at full price. You'd waitlist both, set a target price for each (not just "any discount"), and let the alerts do the checking. A target price matters because a 10% cut on a new release is rarely the deal you actually wanted.
H3. Options worth choosing deliberately
| Choice | Who it suits |
|---|---|
| Any price drop | Buyers who want to see market movement and decide case by case |
| Target price or percentage | Buyers with a firm budget who don't want extra email |
| Email alerts | Most people; works across devices |
| Browser or app notifications | People who check a browser often and want instant pings |
H3. Trade-offs to keep in mind
- More waitlisted games plus loose thresholds means more email. Tighten thresholds rather than abandoning the list.
- Waitlist alerts track the stores the site covers. A deal on a store outside that coverage may not trigger anything, so it's worth a quick manual check during major sales.
- Notifications tell you a price changed, not that it's the lowest it will ever be. Seasonal sales often beat individual store discounts.
H3. Useful next step
Start with three to five games you genuinely intend to buy, set a realistic target price for each, and keep one alert method only. If you also track bundles and giveaways, IsThereAnyDeal groups those alongside regular deals, which saves checking several storefronts by hand.
What subscription or premium features does IsThereAnyDeal offer?
IsThereAnyDeal's visible subscription offering is its "New in Subscriptions" section, which tracks games newly added to subscription catalogs rather than selling a subscription of its own. The site's premium signals point to a paid membership tier, but the page evidence does not spell out its exact feature list.
What the page shows
- Subscription tracking: A "New in Subscriptions" heading, meaning the site monitors which titles have just arrived in game subscription services.
- Premium tier exists: Pricing signals reference both "subscription" and "premium," so a paid membership is part of the model.
- Deal-first context: The rest of the page is built around price drops, bundles, giveaways and waitlists — the premium layer sits on top of that free deal-hunting core.
What it's useful for
If you already subscribe to a game catalog service, the subscription feed answers "what did I just get access to?" without you checking each service separately. The waitlist angle matters too: a "Most Waitlisted in last 30 days" list shows what other deal-hunters are watching, which is a reasonable proxy for demand and for prices likely to fall.
Trade-off to weigh
A free account is enough for basic price tracking. The premium tier is only worth it if you want the convenience features — alerts, sync and subscription tracking in one place — rather than occasional manual checks. Since the exact premium feature set and price are not confirmed here, verify them on the site's own membership page before paying.
Next step
If you mainly want to know when a wishlisted game hits your target price, start with a free account and a few waitlisted titles. Upgrade only if you find yourself wanting cross-service subscription updates or more alert capacity than the free tier allows.
How does IsThereAnyDeal compare prices across different stores like Steam, Fanatical, and GreenManGaming?
IsThereAnyDeal aggregates current prices from many digital game stores into a single comparison view, so you can see what a title costs at Steam, Fanatical, GreenManGaming and others side by side and jump to the cheapest listing. Its page evidence shows this in practice: the same game appears with different retailers and discounts—for example, Resident Evil 4 (2023) listed at GreenManGaming with a 79% cut, and Monster Hunter: World at GreenManGaming with 78% off—while other titles show Steam, Fanatical, Ubisoft Store, Epic Game Store, Microsoft Store, GameBillet and WinGameStore as the source of the current price.
The comparison is built around a few recurring columns and sections:
- Price and discount: the current amount and percentage off at that retailer.
- Retailer name: which store is offering it, such as Steam, Fanatical, GreenManGaming, GameBillet, Ubisoft Store, Epic Game Store or Microsoft Store.
- Deal type: sections like "New in Subscriptions", "Latest Bundles", "Giveaways" and "Misc. Deals" separate straightforward store discounts from subscription perks, bundle inclusions and free giveaways.
- Waitlist signal: a "Most Waitlisted in last 30 days" section shows which games users are watching for a better price, which is useful for judging whether a current discount is likely to be beaten soon.
Because the same game can be sold at several retailers at once, the site's value is not that it sets prices but that it normalises them. A 33% cut at one store and a 79% cut at another are presented in the same format, so you can compare without opening multiple tabs. It also surfaces free offers—for example, listings showing a $0.00 price at Epic Game Store or Ubisoft Store—alongside paid discounts.
A practical next step is to search the specific title you want, then check two things before buying: whether the cheapest listing is a Steam key or a key for another launcher, and whether the retailer is an authorised seller. If you are patient, add the game to your waitlist and let the site track price changes; if you need it now, buy from the lowest-priced authorised store rather than defaulting to Steam. For broader price tracking beyond games, SteamDB focuses on Steam's own price history, while GG.deals offers a similar multi-store comparison with its own deal alerts.
