About XBXprices

XBXprices is a free, independent Microsoft Store price tracker. We record the Microsoft Store price history of Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S games across 47 countries, so when you see a discount you can check it against what the game has actually cost rather than against a banner. Alongside prices we carry achievement counts and Gamerscore read from Xbox Live, hand-checked completion difficulty where we have it, and the cheapest storefront we can see for each game.

Xbox price recording here began on 17 June 2026. That is a deliberately modest claim: a price tracker is only as good as the history behind it, so rather than implying years of data we do not hold, every low-price figure on this site is described as the lowest recorded since then, and the phrase “all-time low” is switched off in code until enough history exists to make it mean something. The site is run by a small independent team and is not affiliated with Microsoft or Xbox.

Our goal is simple: tell you the truth about a price. A “50% off” banner means nothing without history — so we keep the history.

1. One source, asked 47 times. Prices come from Microsoft’s public product catalogue with the storefront set per request, so the US, German and Japanese figures for a game are read from the same place within seconds of each other.
2. An hourly anchor, then a popularity clock. The US price of every tracked product is re-read once an hour; other storefronts refresh daily, every three days or fortnightly depending on how often their page is opened.
3. A change log, not snapshots. A history row is written only when a price actually moves, so a flat line on a chart means the price genuinely did not change — not that nobody was looking.
4. Every region, local currency. Prices are shown in each store’s own currency and stored as whole minor units so nothing is rounded twice; each game page names the cheapest storefront we can see for it.
5. Visible freshness. Every game page shows a “Price last checked” timestamp, so you always know how current the figure is.
