Compare Steam game prices with real-world products. How many Big Macs can you buy for this game? 🎮 What is SteamBite? SteamBite is a free, open-source Chrome extension that helps you understand Steam game prices by comparing them to real-world products like coffee, burgers, and other everyday items.

When you browse the Steam store, SteamBite automatically displays a small badge next to game prices showing how many of your selected product you could buy for the same amount.
