Best time to buy Gaming: what our data shows

• 8% of the gaming products we have recorded on 3 or more days changed price at least once since we started tracking them.
• 100% are at (or level with) the lowest price we have recorded for them right now.
• 8% are more than 3% below the highest price we recorded, by 18% on average.
• Of the products showing a retailer “was” price, 100% show a was-price higher than anything we have recorded (among those recorded on 3+ days). Our records only go back to 13 Oct 2026, so this is not proof the was-price is false.

General UK retail calendar (not our data): Console bundles often appear around Black Friday and Christmas; game prices tend to fall in the months after release.

Figures recalculated at every build from our own daily records up to 26 Oct 2026. Short histories can't show seasonal patterns yet; we'll add them as our records grow. The practical rule: check the price history before you buy, whatever the date.
