Steam may get 30-day price history, already active in the EU

Valve may introduce a 30-day price history on Steam; the feature is already active in the EU to avoid misleading discounts. Understand what changes for you.

A possible addition to Steam could allow users to see a 30-day price history directly on each game's page. The idea would make it easier to identify price drops and avoid fake discounts. SteamDB observers point out that Valve is reportedly evaluating the function for integration into the store.

30-day history in practice

The concept is simple: by opening a game's page, the user would see the price variations over the last 30 days, helping to confirm if the offer is truly good.

Regulatory context in the EU

The feature has already existed in the EU since 2023, in line with the Omnibus Directive, which requires displaying the recent price to avoid practices of inflating prices with apparent discounts. A price inflated for one day and then reduced to look like a discount can be difficult to detect without history.

Third-party tools and what to expect

Outside the EU, buyers already track history through tools like SteamDB, which offer a comprehensive view, including regional prices. A native Steam update would make this verification simpler and more integrated.

SteamGPT and other news

Among the latest news, there are rumors that Valve may be developing SteamGPT, an AI assistant for customer support that could even interact with the CS2 anti-cheat, keeping Steam competitive among rivals.
