Frequently Asked Questions

CDKeyPrices.com is a live price-comparison engine built for gamers. We track dozens of authorised and grey-market game key retailers around the clock, surfacing the cheapest, region-appropriate offers for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and other platforms. All prices are updated regularly, and we include filters for region, platform, and store rating—making it easy to find the best deal before you buy.

No. We're strictly a comparison platform. All purchases are made directly with the merchant listed. This keeps our platform impartial and free to use.

Yes. We never ask for your payment information. When you click a deal, you're redirected to the merchant's secure checkout. We only list stores with verified fulfilment records and proper HTTPS security.

We earn small affiliate commissions when you click through and complete a purchase. It doesn't cost you anything extra and helps us keep the site running independently.

Email us at [email protected] with proof of authorised distribution rights and an API or product feed. Our compliance team reviews all applications for legitimacy, delivery reliability, and customer service standards.

Use the "Contact Us" form in our website footer or message us on X (Twitter) @cdkeyprices or via Facebook. We usually respond within one business day.

Prices drop due to regional promotions, wholesale purchasing, bundles, or currency differences. By tracking global pricing in real time, we expose those savings to you. Always check region-lock details before making a purchase.

Buying keys is legal, but not all sources are equal. We favour merchants who buy from authorised distributors. Using keys from questionable sources (e.g., stolen or region-locked) could get you banned. Always check store ratings and read regional notices.

G2A is one of the largest game key marketplaces with over 30 million users and a 3.8/5 Trustpilot rating based on 315K+ reviews. While many users report positive experiences with instant delivery and competitive prices, some customers have encountered issues with duplicate keys or unresponsive sellers. G2A provides buyer protection, but always check seller ratings and read the fine print before purchasing.

Eneba has a strong 4.3/5 Trustpilot rating from 218K+ reviews and is considered one of the fastest-growing game marketplaces. Most customers praise their fast delivery, competitive prices, and responsive 24/7 support. The platform features verified sellers and secure checkout options. However, as with any marketplace, individual seller quality can vary, so check seller ratings before purchasing.

CDKeys.com is highly rated with a 4.8/5 Trustpilot score from 206K+ reviews, making it one of the most trusted game key retailers. They are an authorized reseller for many publishers and offer instant digital delivery. CDKeys is known for excellent customer service and legitimate keys, though prices may be slightly higher than gray market alternatives.

Yes! Other well-regarded stores include Kinguin (4.6/5 on Trustpilot), Instant Gaming (4.7/5), DLGamer, and Difmark. We track dozens of verified retailers including 2game, BCDKey, BuyGames, Driffle, ElectronicFirst, and many others. Each store has different strengths - some excel in customer service, others in pricing or regional availability.

We compare both. You'll find offers from authorised resellers alongside grey-market platforms. Each listing includes an up-to-date Trustpilot rating and review count for your piece of mind.

Yes, but always use your judgment. We aggregate user reviews and performance data (e.g., fulfilment speed, customer support) and update ratings accordingly. However, your experience may still vary.

Use the "Report a Store" option in our Support section. We take user feedback seriously and regularly audit merchants based on complaint history and fulfilment metrics.

We track prices across Steam, Epic Games, EA App, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar, GOG, Battle.net, Xbox Live, PlayStation Store, and Nintendo eShop. We also compare antivirus and productivity software keys.

Steam Keys are activation codes you redeem in your Steam library - these are the most common and safest option. Steam Gifts are sent directly through Steam's gifting system. Steam Accounts involve sharing login credentials, which violates Steam's terms of service and is not recommended. Always choose Steam Keys for legitimate, permanent ownership.

No, Epic Games Keys only work on the Epic Games Store launcher. Similarly, EA App Keys work only with EA's platform, Ubisoft Connect Keys with Ubisoft's launcher, and so on. Each digital platform has its own ecosystem, so make sure you're buying keys for the correct platform where you want to play.

Battle.net Keys are activation codes for Blizzard Entertainment games like World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, and Call of Duty. You redeem these codes through the Battle.net desktop app. Both Account keys (added to existing accounts) and standalone Keys are available, depending on the game and seller.

PlayStation keys (PSN Codes) are redeemed through the PlayStation Store on your console or via the web store. Xbox keys work through the Microsoft Store or Xbox console. Both platforms also offer account-based purchases and subscription services like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass. Regional restrictions often apply, so verify compatibility with your account region.

Nintendo eShop Keys are digital codes redeemed through the Nintendo eShop on your Switch, 3DS, or online account. Regional locking is particularly important for Nintendo products - ensure the key matches your account's region. Nintendo also offers both individual game keys and eShop credit cards.

Yes! GOG (Good Old Games) specializes in DRM-free gaming. When you activate a GOG key, you get a DRM-free copy that you can download and keep forever, even without the GOG Galaxy launcher. This makes GOG an excellent choice for players who prefer to own their games outright without any digital restrictions.

Every listing shows a "Region" tag with a globe icon. Global keys are marked clearly, while regional locks (e.g., EU, NA) are shown also.

Most stores support Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Some also accept Klarna, crypto, or regional options like BLIK, iDEAL, Pix, Bizum, or Sofort. Payment options vary by store, so check during checkout.

That depends on the store and your region. Some platforms show base prices without VAT or payment processing fees. We recommend reviewing the final checkout screen carefully before buying.

Since we don't sell keys directly, all refunds or support issues must be handled by the retailer. If you experience a problem, raise a ticket with the store. Let us know via Support and we'll review their status on our platform.

Contact the seller immediately through their support system. Most reputable stores offer 24/7 support and will replace non-working keys quickly. Keep your purchase confirmation and any error messages as evidence. If the seller is unresponsive, you can dispute the charge with your payment provider (PayPal, credit card, etc.).

We update prices every 15 to 30 minutes depending on how frequently each store updates its feed.

Price alerts are going live in the third quarter this year.

Not yet—but the site is fully optimised for mobile browsers. An app is in development and will be announced on our blog and socials.

If you encounter a bug, broken feature, or pricing glitch, please report it using the "Contact Us" form or email [email protected]. Include as much detail as possible (e.g., URL, browser, screenshots) so we can investigate quickly.
