Multi Store Game Search
Read full descriptionHide full description
**Search every storefront at once.** Type a game name once and GameSearch shows you who sells it across Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop, Epic Games Store, GOG, and itch.io. Tap any listing to open the store's page right inside the app, and if the store's official app is installed, GameSearch offers to open it there instead. **Built for discovery.** The Discovery tab surfaces what gamers are actually talking about right now: an auto-playing hero of the most anticipated unreleased titles (a fresh mix every time you open the app), trending new releases, critic-scored standouts from the past year, and what's coming soon. Tap any cover to instantly search for it across all enabled stores. **Save what matters.** Favorite any game with one tap, right from the search results. Every favorite gets its own page: see where to buy it, with the current Steam price in your country (and the discount when it's on sale), plus who's streaming it live right now. Your Favs tab keeps them in a clean 2-column grid you can filter by store or search. **Watch it live.** The Videos tab finds Twitch streams for popular games and your favorites in seconds. Tap a stream to watch it with live chat right inside GameSearch, or hand it to the Twitch app. **Go ad-free with GameSearch Plus.** GameSearch is free to use, supported by non-personalized banner ads and occasional sponsored cards. Upgrade to GameSearch Plus ($2.99/month, auto-renewing) to remove every ad (the banners, the sponsored cards between search results, and the ad slots on the Videos tab) and to filter Twitch streams by language across 21 languages. Cancel any time in Settings. **Private by design.** No accounts. No sign-ups. No analytics, no trackers. Everything you set — country, enabled stores, favorites — stays on your device. The only third party we talk to for ads is Google AdMob, and we request non-personalized ads only. **Features** • Cross-store search across 7 storefronts • Country-aware store links (20 supported regions) • Auto-playing hero of anticipated games, plus Trending, Recent Critic Reviews, Coming Soon • Tap-to-favorite from any list, with an undo if you change your mind • A page for every favorite: where to buy, live Steam price, live streams • Watch Twitch live streams with chat inside the app • Store pages open in a built-in browser • Row or 2-column grid view of search results • Per-storefront brand-colored result cards • Smart "Open in app" option when the store's native app is installed • Onboarding tour replay from Settings any time • "Recently viewed" row on Discovery (stored on your device) • Fully dark Obsidian Pulse UI (navy, violet and lime) tuned for OLED **GameSearch Plus** ($2.99/month, auto-renewing) • Ad-free everywhere: no banners, no sponsored cards, no video ad slots • Filter Twitch streams by language (21 languages) • Cancel any time; manage from Settings or the App Store Free to download. No account required. No telemetry. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
