Who runs Gamescade
Gamescade has been comparing game prices since January 2024. It is built and run by SIA Shufflehound, a limited liability company registered in Latvia.
We are independent. No store owns or controls Gamescade, and we don't sell games ourselves. When you click an offer you go to the store, and the store handles your purchase, game delivery and customer support.
What we do
- We put offers from official stores like Steam and from key resellers and marketplaces into one list, sorted by price.
- We help you understand what you're buying: platform, region, and whether an offer is a key you redeem on your own account or a pre-made account.
- We track game prices over time, so you can see how today's offers compare with previous prices.
- Create a free account to save games to your wishlist and get an email when a game drops to your target price.
- Gamescade is available in 17 languages and several currencies.
How we compare prices
Where prices come from
We currently compare prices from 22 stores: Difmark, Eneba, eTail.Market, Fanatical, G2A.COM, GameBillet, Gamers Outlet, GamersGate, Gameseal, Gamesplanet, Green Man Gaming, IndieGala, InstantGaming, JoyBuggy, K4G, Kinguin, MacGameStore, MMOGA, PremiumCDKeys, Steam, WinGameStore, YUPLAY.
We collect offers automatically and check for price updates regularly, usually several times a day. Each game page shows when its offers were last updated. Prices may change between updates, so always check the final price on the store's website. Game details like descriptions, release dates and platforms come from IGDB and Steam.
How offers are matched to games
Different stores often use different names for the same game, so we match each offer to a game by its title, edition and platform (PC, PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch). DLCs, bundles and special editions are kept apart from the base game. Matching is automatic, so mistakes can happen. If you spot an offer on the wrong game, please let us know.
Keys and accounts
- Keys are codes you redeem on your own Steam, Epic, PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo account. You redeem the key to add the game to your own library.
- Accounts give you login details for a separate account that already has the game. They are usually cheaper, but the game is not added to your own account.
Account offers can come with extra restrictions, and buying or sharing accounts may go against the platform's terms of service. Always check the seller's conditions before you buy.
Where applicable, we label offers as keys or accounts. You can hide account offers on individual game pages or disable them by default in your account settings.
Regions
Some keys only work in certain regions, for example Europe or North America. We detect the region from the store listing where possible and show it next to the offer. Always check the region on the store page before you buy, so the key works where you live.
How offers are ordered
Offers are sorted by price, lowest first. Stores cannot pay for a better position, and whether a store pays us a commission has no effect on where its offers appear.
How game lists are ordered
Game lists on our deal pages are ordered automatically. Popular is based on Steam top sellers and other public popularity charts. Lists like Best co-op games combine critic ratings, Steam top seller rankings and how many stores sell the game, and some also look at the current discount. Coming soon and New releases simply go by release date. No store or publisher can pay to put a game in a list or move it higher.
Prices and currencies
Stores list prices in different currencies, so we convert them to your currency using exchange rates that we update regularly. The price you pay at checkout can still differ because of payment fees, taxes, coupon codes, marketplace service fees or the store's own currency conversion.
Discounts and price history
The discount shown for a game compares the cheapest available offer with a reference price based on stores selling official game keys. The cheapest offer may be a key or a pre-made account, whichever costs less. This is a price comparison, not necessarily a discount advertised by the store itself.
If you hide account offers, prices and discounts are calculated using keys only.
We regularly record the lowest available prices to build a price history for each game. The price history chart on each game page shows how prices changed and the lowest price we've recorded since we started tracking the game.
How we make money (affiliate disclosure)
Gamescade is free to use. To keep it running, some of the links to stores on our site are affiliate links. When you click one and buy something, the store may pay us a small commission.
- No extra fees from us. We don't add anything to the prices shown. The commission comes from the store, not from you.
- It doesn't change the ranking. Offers are always sorted by price. Stores that pay us nothing, like Steam, are listed the same way as everyone else.
- Not every link earns us money. We list offers from every store we compare, whether or not it has an affiliate program with us.
When you click an offer, the link goes through gamescade.com first, where we count the click, and then takes you to the store. We use these counts to understand which stores and games people are interested in.
