You need an account to track games, save target prices, and manage a personal watchlist.

Price history becomes useful after tracked games have been refreshed over time.

The first tracked day gives a starting point; later daily refreshes build the chart.

Logged-in users can track a game and choose a target price.

The watchlist stores the tracked game and alert target, then shows fresh live deals alongside saved tracking information.

A scheduled refresh job can fetch current offers for tracked games, update saved offers, record price history, and check whether the cheapest live offer meets the user's target price.

This makes the price history useful over time, especially after several daily refreshes.

When a user searches for a game, PriceWatcher requests live deal data, groups matching store offers by game, and shows the lowest current price.

Each result can include multiple store offers so users can compare price, store, availability, and discount.

Some stores do not provide a direct product URL through the live deal feed.

When no direct store page is available, PriceWatcher may use the deal provider redirect.
