How PSNDeal Works
Last updated: July 2026
PSNDeal tracks PlayStation Store prices so you don't have to check manually, and doubles as a place to organize the games you already own. Five steps cover everything you need to get real use out of it.
- 1
Find the games you want to track
Start on Deals for the best current discounts, or use Search to jump straight to a specific title. Pick your region first (🇮🇳 India, 🇺🇸 US, 🇯🇵 Japan) using the flag switcher in the header, since prices and catalogs differ by region. Every game page also shows full price history, not just today's price, so you can see whether now is actually a good time to buy.

Hit the bell icon to set an alert
The bell appears on every game card and on the game detail page. By default it fires on any price drop at all. From the detail page you can also switch to a specific target price (only notified once it hits that number or lower), or lowest-ever-only mode (only notified on a genuine new all-time low, not just any discount). All your active alerts live on the Alerts page.

Import your library from PSN directly
Go to Account → PlayStation Network and link your account once. PSNDeal reads your trophy data and imports the games you already own into your Library automatically, and keeps it in sync nightly after that. Anything it can't confidently match shows up as a small dismissible list rather than silently vanishing, so nothing gets lost, you just decide what to do with it.

Manage your backlog
Your Library page is a Kanban board with five columns: Not Started, Planned, Currently Playing, Played, and Completed. Drag a game between columns as you move through it. This is separate from your Alerts list, a game can be tracked for price, in your library, both, or neither.
- 5
Share your library with the world
From the Library page, generate a share link. Anyone with the link can view a read-only page of your library, no PSNDeal account needed on their end. You'll see how many times it's been viewed on your own Library page, visits from you don't count toward that number.
The three alert modes, explained
Not every alert should behave the same way, so PSNDeal supports three modes on a per-game basis, set from the game's detail page:
- Any drop: the default. You're notified the moment a game goes on sale at all.
- Target price: set a number, and you're only notified once the price reaches it or lower.
- Lowest ever only: you're only notified when a game hits a genuine new all-time low, not just any discount.
Pro tip: WhatsApp and Telegram alerts
Email is on by default the moment you set your first alert. If you'd rather get notified somewhere faster, go to Account → Notifications: connect Telegram with one tap (it opens the bot, you hit Start, and it links automatically), or add a WhatsApp number directly. All three channels can be on at once, and each one has its own on/off switch. Account → Notification history shows every alert PSNDeal has sent you, split by channel, so you can always confirm exactly what fired and when.
Alerts vs Library, what's the difference
The Alerts page is for games you're watching to buy. The Library page is for games you already own, whether you bought them, they came with PS Plus, or PSN import found them on your account. A game can sit in either list, both, or neither, they don't affect each other.
