SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Evaluating whether a Steam game is fairly priced or planning a pricing strategy requires gathering current prices, regional variations, sale history, and value metrics from scattered sources, which is slow and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Current and Regional Pricing: Fetches live price data via the Steam appdetails API or the Steam MCP server across regions like US, EU, Brazil, and China. - Sale History and Value Scoring: References SteamDB and IsThereAnyDeal for historical lows and computes metrics like price per hour and value score from review and playtime data. - Use Case: A user asks whether Hades is a good deal right now; the skill resolves the App ID, pulls multi-region prices, notes the historical low of $9.99, and calculates a value score from median playtime and review ratio. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to analyze the pricing history and current deal quality for a specific Steam game by name or App ID.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check a Steam game's price history and sale patterns?▼

Resolve the game to its App ID, fetch current pricing via the Steam appdetails API, then reference SteamDB or IsThereAnyDeal for historical lows and sale frequency. Steam itself offers no public historical pricing API.

How to compare Steam game prices across regions?▼

Fetch the price_overview from the appdetails endpoint with different country codes such as us, br, or cn, or use the steam_getRegionalPricing MCP tool to query multiple countries in one call.

Does Steam provide an API for historical pricing data?▼

No, Steam only exposes current pricing through the appdetails API. Historical prices and sale records must be obtained from third-party trackers like SteamDB or IsThereAnyDeal, which are not accessible via MCP.

How is price-to-value calculated for a Steam game?▼

Common metrics include price per hour (price divided by median playtime), reviews per dollar, and a value score combining positive review ratio with median hours divided by price. These require playtime and review data from related analysis skills.

What are the limitations of Steam regional pricing analysis?▼

Regional prices do not scale linearly with USD due to purchasing power adjustments, and store prices ignore bundle discounts and third-party key seller lows. Always fetch fresh data since prices change during sales and publisher updates.
