Genre cost calculator
See what it would cost to own every game currently in a genre, at today's prices.
This totals every game we currently track in the genre, at today's price — it's a snapshot, not a fixed number.
The total sums today's tracked price — including any active discount — for every game currently filed under the chosen genre. It has no idea what you already own: there are no accounts or libraries on the site, so the number is always "cost to own the whole genre from scratch," not a personalised total.
Because it's a live snapshot, the figure moves as prices, discounts, and the catalog itself change — a genre with 40 games today might have 45 next month, and today's sale prices won't still apply after a sale ends. Treat it as a rough "what would this cost right now" figure, not a fixed reference number.

Say a genre has 4 tracked games priced £19.99, £0 (free-to-play), £39.99, and £9.99. Add them up: £19.99 + £0 + £39.99 + £9.99 = £69.97 total.
Divide that by the 4 games counted — including the free one — for the average: £69.97 ÷ 4 = £17.49. That average sits between the cheapest and priciest title, not necessarily matching any single game in the genre.
FAQ
Does this include games I already own?
No — there are no user accounts or libraries yet, so this totals every tracked game in the genre regardless of what you own.
Are discounted prices used, or full price?
Today's actual price as tracked in the catalog, including any active discount — not the original list price.
Why might the total change from day to day?
Prices and discounts change, and the catalog itself grows as more games are added — the total reflects whatever is tracked right now, not a fixed snapshot.
Does this calculator consider free-to-play games?
Yes — they're counted in the game total, they just contribute £0 to the sum, so they don't distort the average in a misleading way.
Can I see which specific games are included in the total?
Not from this page — it shows the total, average, and count, not a per-game breakdown. Browse the genre's own catalog page to see the individual titles.
How is the average price calculated?
Total cost divided by the number of games counted, using today's prices including discounts.
Can I select more than one genre at a time?
No — pick one genre at a time from the dropdown. To compare two genres, run the calculator once for each.
What if a genre has no games tracked yet?
The result shows zero games and no total — there's nothing to sum up.
Is this the same list of genres shown on the site's genre pages?
Yes — the dropdown pulls from the same set of genres used across the catalog.
