Steam Code Hints at Built-In 30-Day Price History

The test would show recent lows to help buyers judge if a deal is real.

Overview

  • Dataminer SigaTbh, who probed Steam’s client code Wednesday, surfaced strings like 'Price History' and '30-Day low'.
  • The text describes discounts based on the lowest price in the previous 30 days and labels that flag recent lows.
  • A similar display has been live in parts of the European Union since June 2023 to meet consumer-protection rules under the Omnibus Directive.
  • Valve has not announced the feature, and outlets note the code could reflect internal tests that never reach users.
  • A native 30-day view would let shoppers spot fake mark-downs and rely less on third-party trackers like SteamDB.
