We check every game's price on the PlayStation Store, the Xbox Store and the Nintendo eShop about once a week. This week we set each game's latest check against the one before it: 15,622 comparisons.
One PlayStation game in five dropped
| Store | Games compared | Same price | Dropped | Rose | Average cut | Median saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PlayStation Store | 4,503 | 63.7% | 20.9% | 15.4% | 67% | £10.50 |
| Nintendo eShop | 5,695 | 75.0% | 9.8% | 15.2% | 64% | £10.00 |
| Xbox Store | 5,424 | 84.7% | 8.6% | 6.8% | 72% | £10.50 |
In all, 1,967 prices dropped, and 1,754 of them (89%) were cut by half or more. Every one of those games ended up below its usual store price.
Almost every rise was a sale ending
1,924 prices rose, and 1,922 of them put the game back at its usual store price. Only 2 rises were anything else. On the Nintendo eShop, sales ended for more games than began this week (15.2% rose, 9.8% dropped).

What this means if you buy games
Sales are short: most of this week's rises were games returning to full price. Each game's page shows its current store price next to the shops' new copies, and our Cheapest at GAME this week page sets GAME's new copies against the console stores. For the longer picture see how often console store prices drop.
How we counted
For each game and store we took the latest weekly check (2 to 6 November 2026) and the check before it (27 October to 1 November 2026), on average a week apart. The Nintendo eShop, Xbox Store and PlayStation Store prices are the stores' own listings in pounds. We left out 41 comparisons where either price was above the store's current usual price, since those look like a different listing of the game. A game is below its usual price when the store shows a price lower than its regular one.
