About LootRadar

A deal site that cares what the game is

Here is the problem LootRadar was built to solve. You open a sale page, you scroll past four hundred red badges, and somewhere in there are maybe six games you would genuinely enjoy. The badges cannot tell you which six. That is the entire job: take a very noisy price feed and answer one question instead. Which of these listings pairs a price worth paying with real evidence that the game is worth playing?

What it actually does

Store and price listings come in from a third-party pricing feed. LootRadar cleans them up, tosses the obvious add-ons and the entries nobody has reviewed, and ranks whatever is left on five things: how good the game is, how good the price is, how deep the cut is, how much the reviews prove, and how many people care.

What you get is a short list rather than a wall of stickers. You are not stuck with it, though. Change the filters, search the whole qualifying snapshot, and open any listing to see the exact score behind it.

How fresh are the prices?

The published snapshot refreshes every three hours. In the gaps a store can change a price, swap an edition, add a region lock, or sell out entirely, so treat the retailer’s checkout page as the final word. It always wins the argument.

Why the filters are so unforgiving

Cheap and good are different words. The default view wants complete games with believable player feedback, which means the DLC, soundtracks, currency packs, cosmetic bundles, demos, and assorted not-actually-a-game listings get shown the door before ranking starts.

And no, a massive discount cannot drag a weak game up the list on its own. Review quality, review volume, and price context all feed the LootRadar Deal Score, and quality carries the most weight of any single signal.

Things LootRadar will not pretend

• It does not see every PC store. It covers the participating stores in its current pricing feed. That is a real limit, not a rounding error.
• Nobody here has played all of these. Rankings run on price, review, and metadata signals. If a score claimed to be a hands-on verdict it would be lying.
• A Deal Score is not a review score. It is a transparent way to sort what is on sale right now, and that is all.
• A low price is not automatically an all-time low. Historical context shows up only when the data actually backs it, which is less often than you would like.

Accounts, privacy, and the stuff you save

Accounts are optional and private. Browse, search, open deals, and keep a watchlist on your own device without ever signing in. If you do want one, Google is the fastest route and passwordless email is there if you would rather skip Google entirely.

Once you are signed in, Supabase syncs your watchlist targets, recommendation choices, and feedback between devices. Deal emails are off by default and stay that way until you say otherwise, linking Google to an existing email account is your call, and you can delete the whole account yourself from its private dashboard. The privacy policy spells out the local cache, the service providers, and every choice you get.

How this keeps the lights on

LootRadar is free, and today it makes money from advertising. It has no affiliate relationships with any retailer. Outbound links pass through the pricing provider, which may earn a commission from the store, and that is how the free price data gets paid for. If LootRadar ever does sign up for affiliate income, this page will say so. What no money can buy is a better price, a higher Deal Score, a spot in a collection, or a nicer position in the ranking. Those doors are closed.
