How much does a pc game cost?

PC game prices can vary a lot. Typically prices range from less than $1 up to $800 for premium editions. However, editions aren't the only deciding pricing factor. Many factors actually play into the final price of the deals we acquire for you. The key factors usually are Edition / Format / Complexity / Launcher / Age. Obviously, Edition's vary in prices, as f.e. premium additions include much more gameplay/features than normal editions but still require the standard game.

Format and Launcher play hand in hand together. At the same time, steam prices tend to be cheaper in comparison to, for example, BattleNet or EpicGames prices. Additionally, complexity plays a key role in the price the developers give their game. The more work they put into elements, units, worlds, characters, storylines, the higher priced the game turns out to be. So, simply said, the best games will cost a pretty penny, but are guaranteed to be worth the money&time you put into them.

Why are pc games cheaper than console games (Xbox/Playstation)?

All gamers agree, no matter what you play on, we are still all equals and are united by the passion of gaming. However, there is one thing that distances PC Gamers from Console gamers, which is the average price for games. In general, pc gamers will pay $20-25s less per game than console gamers (Source: Andre Marchand & Thorsten Hennig-Thurua). Most agree that the price increase is mostly due to extra licensing fees developers have to pay Samsung / Microsoft to be able to release the game on their platforms.

How do I redeem a Steam Key on PC?

With Steam probably being the biggest pc gaming platform on the market, it is no wonder that there is some confusion on how to redeem a steam key correctly. While there are multiple ways, we will quickly cover the main way through the Steam Client.

For starters, it is necessary to have a registered Steam account, on which you will redeem your Steam Key / Steam Code. If you do not have one yet, you can register an account here.
After your account has been successfully set up, you will need to download the Steam Client, which you can do so here and log in with your account credentials.
To register a game, you will need to click on the "Add a Game" field at the bottom left and select the "Activate a Product on Steam..." option, which will open a pop-up window.
In the pop-up window, you can then paste or enter the Steam Key you received from one of our connected stores into the "Product Code" field. After clicking on "Next" the key will redeem itself, and the game will be permanently added to your account.
You will now see the game in your Library, where you can download and play the game.
With all that out of the way, you are now ready to grow your steam account into your very own gaming library! Happy Gaming!
