Hi Product Hunt — I built Steam Sonar because I kept discovering PC games in an X post or a YouTube video, then opening several tabs just to answer a few basic questions: How much is it in my region? What do players actually think? Is anyone playing now? Is it worth coming back when the price drops?
Steam Sonar keeps that context inside the place where you found the game:
- Open a compact Steam card from a game post on X.
- See the same localized context for Steam links in YouTube descriptions.
- Check price, review sentiment, current players, release information, genres, platform support and more.
- Track up to 100 games for price changes, with checks scheduled by Chrome about every six hours.
- Return to as many as 30 recently opened cards, stored only on your device.
It is free, requires no Steam Sonar account, and supports English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
The privacy boundary matters to me. X post text is processed on-device and is not stored or sent to Steam Sonar. On YouTube, the extension reads only Steam Store link destinations in the visible description and sends the extracted Steam App ID needed to fetch the card. Recent-card history, watch settings and notifications stay in Chrome extension storage. Users can stop processing or delete local data from Options.
I would especially value feedback on two questions: Where do you discover most of your next Steam games today, and what is the one signal you need before deciding to open the Steam Store page?
