How many games are in the Early Access Games category?

21,215 right now. Genres come from store metadata and community tags, so alongside major releases you will find lesser known titles. Narrow the list with the platform, price, DRM and subscription filters; your selection is stored in the page URL.

How do I find the cheapest Early Access Games?

Sort by price ascending or use the price filter. For every game we compare offers across over 40 stores, both official ones and keyshops. If no current price suits you, set a price alert and we will get in touch when an offer drops below your target.

How do I know a price is actually good?

On each game page the chart shows two lines: green for official stores, red for keyshops. Next to it we list the all-time low for each group separately, with the store name and date. If a store raised the base price before a sale, the chart shows it.

How a genre differs from a tag

A genre is a broad classification assigned to a game by the store, so one game usually carries one or two. A tag is a label given by the player community, and a single game can carry dozens. That makes the Early Access Games category broader and more stable than any set of tags, while searching by tags lands more precisely when you are after a specific quality of play rather than a whole genre. The two combine: narrow the genre first, then add tags.

When to buy games from this category

For every title we show the lowest price it has ever reached, so you can see at a glance how far the current offer sits from that mark. If the gap is small, waiting rarely pays. If it is wide, set a price alert with your own threshold: we check offers every five minutes and send an email when one drops below your figure. That beats looking in here every day. If you would rather not wait, look at the games sitting at their historical low today, because waiting no longer pays there.
