Price Notifications
The Fanatical Assistant can alert you (using an information bar at the top of your browser) to offers available at fanatical.com related to the page you're viewing as shown below:
Prices will be shown in the currency that payment is taken in through Fanatical.com with an approximate local currency value (if that's different) and will incorporate the best of any available coupons that can be used with the game.
Just click the "Learn More" button to view or buy the game through Fanatical.com:
Use the "Add to cart" button to add the game to your Fanatical.com cart and automatically apply the best available coupon to get the best deal!
You can configure whether the Fanatical Assistant should alert you:
- While browsing other global game stores (including the Steam Store) as from "Is there any deal". You can also select whether to always show Fanatical.com offers or only when Fanatical.com is cheaper than the current store site.
- When searching for games on Google or Bing - if the search results include "Steam Powered" or "Video Game" (or regional equivalents) the Fanatical Assistant will check for matches at fanatical.com if you've allowed "Search Engines" to be monitored
- When viewing game play videos (tagged "game") on YouTube or Twitch the Fanatical Assistant will check for matches at fanatical.com if you've allowed "Videos" to be monitored (we won't check if you happen to watch videos about, say, "chickens"!)
Wishlist Sync
Configure whether a prompt to sync your Steam Wishlist with your Fanatical.com Wishlist is displayed when you browse your Steam Wishlist and whether Steam games already in your library are automatically removed from your Fanatical.com Wishlist:
