Xbox Store Price Tracker

The Xbox Store is Microsoft's shop for digital games for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows PCs, along with add-ons, in-game currency and Game Pass subscriptions. You can use it on xbox.com, on the console or in the Xbox app; US accounts see prices in dollars and UK accounts in pounds. Games with the Xbox Play Anywhere label are bought once and played on both console and PC, and Smart Delivery gives you the version that suits your console.

The Sales & Specials page lists 'This week's digital game deals', which rotate every week, and bigger events such as Black Friday add more. Game Pass comes in three plans – Essential, Premium and Ultimate – plus PC Game Pass, and every plan unlocks member discounts on games. Each plan also earns Microsoft Rewards points, with higher tiers earning more, and points can be spent directly on one-off Microsoft Store purchases, though not on subscriptions.

Most big games come in several editions – Standard, Deluxe, Gold or Ultimate – each with its own price and its own discount, and add-ons, season passes and bundles are sold separately. SaleAlarm follows the price on the product page you choose, so set the alert on the edition you actually want. Then there's no need to scan the weekly deals list: you get an email when that price drops, whether through a weekly deal, a publisher sale or a seasonal event.
