Xbox Now review
Free regional Xbox price comparisons with watchlists and target-price email alerts.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Xbox Now is a web-based comparison service for Xbox games and downloadable content sold through Microsoft Stores. It is aimed at players who want to compare regional prices for Xbox console and PC titles, browse deals, or keep an eye on a game before buying. The service is independently operated by Florian Luebken and says it is not affiliated with Microsoft. Its focus is specifically digital Microsoft Store listings, rather than a general game-price tracker spanning retailers and storefronts.
The practical draw is the combination of worldwide regional comparisons and country filters. Listings include descriptions, release details, and regional prices, while deal browsing covers sales, offers, and price errors. Users can create a personal watchlist and set email alerts for when a game's price falls below a chosen target. Those features make Xbox Now useful for shoppers comparing available Microsoft Store regions or waiting for a particular title to reach a price threshold. It runs on the web, with cloud deployment, and the listed support channel is email.
Xbox Now is free, so comparisons, deal browsing, watchlists, and target-price email alerts do not require a paid tier. Its narrow scope is also its main limitation: it covers Xbox consoles and PC games available through Microsoft Stores, not physical-store prices or other game storefronts. The product is a better fit for solo players whose purchases stay within that ecosystem than for shoppers seeking broad retailer coverage or verified price history. Buyers who need those wider comparisons should choose a tracker with multi-store coverage instead.
