Game store pricing
Cross-platform, cross-region pricing with edition structure preserved.
- Base and current price by store and region
- Edition and bundle structure
- Discount depth and sale event names
- Historical low detection
— store pricing, player signals and public statistics.
Game pricing moves hourly across a dozen storefronts and thirty-one regions. Licensed sports feeds, meanwhile, are not obtainable by extraction, and we say so before you contract rather than after.
Free pilot on your own sources, returned in 48 hours. No card, no trial clock — and you keep the sample data either way.

Gaming data covers the commercial layer of interactive entertainment: title pricing and discounting across digital storefronts and regions, edition and bundle structures, publicly reported player counts and review metrics, and esports tournament information including prize pools, formats and results.
Sports data is a more constrained category, and it is important to be precise about why. Detailed live sports statistics — play-by-play, real-time scoring, advanced player metrics — are typically licensed products controlled by leagues and their official data partners. That content is not available through extraction, and any vendor offering it via scraping is selling you a rights problem.
If your use case requires licensed sports data, the correct route is a licence from the league or its official partner. We can help with the surrounding public data — team and venue information, media coverage, ticketing and merchandise pricing, esports content — but we will not pretend that licensed feeds are obtainable by extraction. That distinction protects you as much as us.
A single title exists at different prices across eight or more storefronts, in 31 regional pricing tiers, in multiple editions, in bundles, with region-locked keys, and with discount cycles that run hourly during major sale events. Regional pricing is set deliberately by publishers and shifts with currency movements. Manual tracking is simply not viable, and this is where the bulk of our gaming volume sits.
Gaming pricing is the deepest dataset here. Sports coverage is deliberately scoped to public sources.
Cross-platform, cross-region pricing with edition structure preserved.
Publicly reported activity metrics.
Competitive structures and economics from public sources.
The media layer around both gaming and sports.
Publicly published sports data only.
The commercial layer around sports and esports events.
Deep coverage on gaming commerce; deliberately limited, clearly labelled coverage on sports.
Every engagement delivers a documented schema. These are the core fields; the full dictionary is agreed during scoping.
| Field | Type | What it captures | Refresh |
|---|---|---|---|
title / publisher / developer |
string | Game title with publisher and developer attribution | Weekly |
store / region / currency |
enum | Storefront, regional pricing tier and local currency | Every run |
edition |
string | Standard, deluxe, ultimate, bundle or season pass as listed | Weekly |
base_price / current_price |
decimal | List price and current price in local currency | Hourly to daily |
discount_pct / sale_name |
decimal / string | Discount depth and the named sale event driving it | Hourly to daily |
historical_low |
boolean | Whether the current price matches or beats the observed historical low | Every run |
concurrent_players |
int | Publicly reported concurrent player count with capture timestamp | Near real time |
review_count / review_pct |
int / decimal | Public review volume and positive rating percentage | Daily |
tournament / prize_pool_usd |
string / decimal | Esports tournament name and prize pool from public sources | Weekly |
fixture_date / venue |
timestamp / string | Publicly published sports fixture timing and venue | Daily |
data_basis |
enum | public_page, official_api or licensed_excluded, so provenance is explicit | Every run |
The data_basis field makes provenance explicit on every record. Where a field would require licensed data we mark it licensed_excluded rather than sourcing it improperly.
Gaming coverage is broad. Sports coverage is deliberately limited to publicly published information.
Licensed live sports data feeds are explicitly out of scope. For those, a league or official-partner licence is the only legitimate route, and we will say so rather than quote for it. Request a source we don't list →
We deliver into 40+ countries. These are the markets where this particular service is requested most, and the reason demand concentrates there.
| Market | Why demand concentrates here |
|---|---|
| United States | Largest storefront revenue base and the reference region for pricing decisions. |
| United Kingdom & Germany | Key European pricing tiers with distinct discount behaviour. |
| Japan & South Korea | Regionally exclusive titles and pricing structures not visible elsewhere. |
| Brazil, India & Turkey | Aggressive purchasing-power pricing tiers, the main source of arbitrage risk. |
We run production collection across 40+ countries. Coverage depth varies by market and by source, so we confirm what is actually available for your specific markets during scoping rather than claiming uniform global coverage. Ask about a market we don't list →
Publisher pricing teams are the largest buyers, with esports organisations and investors following.
Regional pricing across 31 tiers and 8 storefronts drifts out of alignment as currencies move, and competitor discount timing is invisible until a sale is already running.
Cross-store, cross-region pricing refreshed hourly during sale events, with discount depth, sale attribution and historical-low detection per title.
Revenue per unit
Assessing how competing titles price, discount and retain players requires data scattered across storefronts with no consistent structure.
Normalised competitor title pricing with edition structure, discount history and public player-count trend on one schema.
Portfolio positioning
Tournament landscape, prize pool trends and roster movements are tracked manually across dozens of public sources.
Structured tournament data covering formats, prize pools, participating teams and results, aggregated from public sources.
Circuit planning accuracy
Gaming theses need observable pricing, discounting and engagement data rather than publisher-reported figures alone.
Longitudinal title pricing, discount depth and public player-count panels by genre, platform and region for direct modelling.
Signal quality
Understanding which titles drive streaming attention and which creators reach which audiences requires cross-platform metrics.
Public viewership and creator metrics by title and category over time, joined to game pricing and release events.
Attention share
Ticket and merchandise pricing across primary and resale channels is opaque, making yield decisions hard to inform.
Public ticket pricing by tier with availability, plus merchandise pricing across official and third-party channels.
Yield per seat
Four patterns, with measured outcomes.
Pricing is tracked across every storefront and regional tier, so drift caused by currency movement or inconsistent storefront implementation becomes visible. Because edition and bundle structure is captured separately, cross-region comparison reflects equivalent products.
Outcome: Regional price architecture corrected before arbitrage and key-reselling pressure builds.
Hourly refresh during major sale events captures competitor discount depth, timing and sale attribution, plus whether a price represents a historical low. Discount patterns repeat across sale cycles and become predictable once tracked.
Outcome: Sale participation and discount depth planned against observed competitor behaviour rather than guessed.
Tournament data from public sources is structured into a consistent schema covering format, prize pool, participating teams and results, allowing circuit-level trend analysis across games and regions.
Outcome: Circuit and sponsorship planning informed by structured tournament economics rather than manual research.
Public player-count trends are joined to pricing and discount history by title, showing how discount events affect concurrent player retention and how that decays after a sale ends.
Outcome: Investment theses tested against observable engagement and pricing data rather than publisher commentary.
Clients rarely permit naming. These are real engagement shapes with identifying detail removed, so you can judge whether the work resembles your situation.
Regional prices set at launch had not been revisited as exchange rates moved, and grey-market key trading was eroding revenue in higher-priced markets.
Daily pricing across eight storefronts and 31 regional tiers with edition structure preserved, plus drift monitoring against a reference market.
Mispriced regions were identified and corrected before the arbitrage gap widened further.
An existing pipeline collected detailed statistics from public pages that were, in fact, licensed league data displayed under someone else's agreement.
Rebuild scoped strictly to publicly published schedules, results and standings, with a data_basis field on every record and licensed fields excluded by design.
The pipeline was made defensible; licensed requirements were routed to a proper league licence.

Before you commit to anything, we run this service against your own sources and send you the output. If the coverage isn't there, the sample will show you that too — which is the point. We would rather lose the deal at the pilot than at month three.
Same collection pipeline and same QA underneath. The difference is who holds the schedule and how the data reaches you.
We own the collection, the QA and the delivery. You receive clean data on a schedule and never touch a scraper.
Best fit: Teams who need the data, not the infrastructure.
The same collection pipeline exposed as an authenticated REST endpoint your systems query directly.
Best fit: Product and engineering teams building on live data.
A defined pull for a specific question — market sizing, diligence, a pitch, a one-off audit.
Best fit: Research, strategy and diligence work with a deadline.
Every engagement is quoted individually, because the honest answer depends on your scope: how many sources, how many records, how often, and how the data reaches you. We scope it with you, run a free pilot on your own sources, and then quote a fixed monthly figure — no per-request metering and no overage billing when volumes move. Request a quote and you will have a number after one call.
Regional dimensionality makes this expensive to build, and sports licensing makes part of it impossible.
| Consideration | In-house scraping team | Generic proxy / DIY tool | Actowiz managed feed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to first usable data | 6–12 weeks of engineering before anything is trustworthy | Days, but output needs manual cleanup before use | Free pilot in 48 hours, production in 5–10 business days |
| Who fixes it when a source changes | Your engineers, at the cost of their roadmap | You do — tools report failures, they don't resolve them | We do, same business day, inside the retainer |
| Data quality assurance | Whatever your team has time to build | None beyond HTTP success | Schema validation plus sampled human QA on every run |
| Compliance documentation | Rarely produced, then requested urgently by legal | Not provided; terms risk sits with you | Sources, method and lawful basis documented for review |
| Accountability | Distributed across a team with other priorities | A support ticket queue | A named engineer and an account owner |
| True annual cost | Engineer salaries, proxies, hosting, ongoing maintenance | Low licence fee plus significant hidden analyst time | One fixed monthly retainer, quoted after scoping |
Game publishers set regional prices deliberately, adjusting for purchasing power across markets. That creates a pricing surface with real commercial consequences, and it is one of the least well monitored datasets in the industry.
Every record carries store, region, currency and edition as separate dimensions, plus base price and current price. This allows the analysis publishers actually need: relative pricing across regions for the same edition, drift over time against a reference market, and identification of gaps wide enough to invite arbitrage.
Because we capture base price separately from current price, discount activity is distinguishable from structural repricing — a distinction that gets lost when a managed service reports only the price currently displayed.
Sports data is the one area where we routinely decline requests, and it is worth explaining the reasoning rather than simply refusing.
Detailed sports statistics — play-by-play, real-time scoring, advanced player metrics, official league data — are licensed products. Leagues grant exclusive or tiered rights to official data partners, who invest heavily in collection and pay for those rights. That content appearing on a public webpage does not make it freely extractable; it makes it licensed content displayed under a licence you do not hold.
If you need licensed sports data, we will tell you to go to the league or its official partner. That is not us declining business we could win — it is us declining to sell you something that will cause you a problem later.
Title lists, storefronts and regions are scoped first, with any licensing constraints on sports data flagged before contracting.
You send us target sites, regions, SKUs or keywords. We return a field-level schema proposal, coverage estimate and refresh recommendation — usually within two working days.
We extract a real sample from your actual targets so you can inspect field fill rates, edge cases and match quality before any commitment.
Our engineers build extractors, then wire validation rules: type checks, range checks, duplicate detection and golden-record comparison against a manually verified subset.
Feeds run at your chosen cadence and land in the warehouse or bucket you already use. Schema changes are versioned and announced before they ship.
We watch coverage drift, fill rates and source changes daily. A named engineer owns your account, and layout breaks are fixed by us — not queued for you.
JSON, JSONL, CSV, Parquet or XLSX, delivered to Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, SFTP, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks or a REST/GraphQL endpoint. Webhooks fire on completion, and every batch ships with a manifest containing row counts, schema version and QA results so your pipeline can fail loudly instead of silently ingesting a bad file.
We collect from public storefront pages, official platform APIs where available, and publicly published sports and esports information. Licensed sports data feeds and official league data products are excluded by design, and every record carries a data_basis field making provenance explicit. Where a request would require licensed content, we say so rather than sourcing it improperly.
These are contractual, not marketing copy. They appear in the engagement document.
| Commitment | What we hold ourselves to |
|---|---|
| Pilot turnaround | A real sample from your own sources within 48 hours of scoping, at no cost. |
| Go-live | Production collection running within 5–10 business days of sign-off. |
| Delivery punctuality | 99.5% on-schedule delivery, measured monthly and reported to you. |
| Breakage response | Source layout changes triaged same business day; critical sources inside 4 hours. |
| Data quality | Schema validation on every run plus sampled human QA before any delivery leaves us. |
| Escalation | A named engineer and an account owner, not a shared ticket queue. |
| Change requests | Field additions and source changes handled inside the retainer, not re-quoted. |
| Exit | Your historical data exported in full on request. No lock-in, no export fee. |
Plain definitions of the terms used on this page, so procurement and legal reviewers are working from the same vocabulary as your data team.
Including the licensing questions that matter most.
No. Live scoring, play-by-play and advanced player statistics are licensed products controlled by leagues and their official data partners. Extraction is not a legitimate route to them, and any vendor offering them via scraping is selling you a rights problem that will surface at the worst possible moment.
What we can provide is publicly published schedules, final results, standings, public historical statistics and team and venue information. For licensed feeds, a licence from the league or its official partner is the only legitimate path, and we'll point you there rather than quote for it.
31 storefront regions across the major digital stores, with currency and regional tier captured per record. Coverage varies slightly by store since each operates its own regional system with different granularity.
Regional pricing is where most publishers get the most value from this service. It is the dimension least visible internally — particularly across console stores, where regional implementations diverge from PC storefronts more than teams expect.
Where publicly reported, yes. Some platforms publish concurrent player counts openly, and we capture them with timestamps and trend them over time. Review volumes and rating percentages are also captured as engagement proxies.
We do not estimate or model player counts where they aren't published. Modelled engagement figures circulate widely in gaming analysis and are frequently wrong by large margins; we would rather deliver a null with a clear reason than a number that looks authoritative and isn't.
Baseline pricing is stable for months. Discount activity is intense and bursty: major seasonal sales bring hourly changes across thousands of titles, with flash discounts lasting hours.
We recommend daily refresh as standard with an hourly tier during major sale windows. Missing a 12-hour flash discount means it is absent from your data permanently, and during sale events that's where most of the pricing behaviour actually happens.
Considerably more than traditional sports, because the esports ecosystem publishes far more openly. Tournament formats and stage structures, prize pools and distribution, participating teams and rosters, results and placements, and event schedules are all generally available from public sources.
Coverage is strongest for major circuits in established titles and thinner for regional and emerging scenes, where publication is inconsistent. We give you an honest per-circuit assessment during scoping rather than a general claim.
Public viewership figures by title and category, yes, using official platform APIs where available and public category pages otherwise. Creator and channel metrics are captured where publicly displayed.
Platform access terms here change frequently, and we document current limits per platform. As with our social media data feed, we don't use credentialed access or scrape authenticated views to obtain metrics that aren't public.
Yes, computed from our own price observation archive. The historical_low flag indicates whether the current price matches or beats the lowest price we have observed for that title, store, region and edition combination.
The honest caveat: our archive starts when we began collecting. A title discounted more deeply before that point would not be reflected. We report the archive start date per title so you know what the flag is actually measuring rather than assuming it covers all time.
App store pricing and listed in-app purchase tiers, yes, across Apple App Store and Google Play with regional pricing captured. Store listing metadata, ratings and review counts are also available.
What we cannot provide is actual in-app purchase revenue or conversion data, which is private to the publisher and the platform. Third-party estimates of mobile revenue exist and are widely cited; they are modelled rather than observed, and we don't resell them as though they were measurements.
We quote every gaming and sports data engagement individually, because a real number depends on scope: source count, record volume, refresh frequency and delivery method. Anyone quoting you a price before understanding those four things is guessing.
Title count, storefront and region coverage and refresh frequency drive cost; the hourly sale-event tier costs more because polling during major sales is heavy.
The process is short: one scoping call, a free pilot on your own sources within 48 hours, then a fixed monthly quote. No per-request metering, no overage billing, and field or source additions are handled inside the retainer rather than re-quoted. Request a quote.
Send us the titles, storefronts and regions you track. We return real cross-region pricing with edition structure and discount history within 48 hours, at no cost.
