PC game stores, such as the Epic Store, Steam, uPlay, Origin or GOG, to name a few, are much more open to sales. And not only that, but they also allow us to buy keys in external stores and, as long as they are original, activate them within them.
This results in certain groups of users taking advantage of different offers and currency exchanges for in other regions. Although you always have to be careful with the websites where we buy the games, since it has been the case that some sellers have sold stolen keys, and then the stores have deactivated the games.
But, if we buy on trusted websites, like the ones we are going to see right now, it is possible to get hold of all kinds of titles for much less than what it would cost us in any other digital store.
Instant Gaming, one of the best known
One of the best-known digital game stores that we can find on the web is Instant Gaming. This website is characterized by selling all kinds of games at the best price, and also sold directly by them, without intermediaries. This guarantees us that the keys we obtain are 100% legal and original, and there is no other person trying to scam users on this platform.
The keys can arrive either in text format (if it is a digital key), or in the form of a photograph if it is a key that has been physically purchased in another store taking advantage of any offer.
Eneba, second hand and digital games
This platform wants to become the Wallapop of consoles and video games. But, in addition, part of the business model of eneba It is found in the game keys. Unlike the previous one, in this store any user can sell keys, so it is important, when buying, that we look at its reputation and the evaluations of other users. If users have had problems with it, better look for another seller.
Gamivo, best prices and great discounts
This platform is similar to the previous one, but focused exclusively on the game key market. In it you can sell any seller, and it has a reputation system that helps us to know if the person who is selling it is trustworthy or can try to scam us.
One of the main attractions of gamivo is that every week we have additional discounts on purchases. Whether it’s 5% or 15%, we can save even more money when buying the games we want.
In addition, it has a subscription model that, for 2 euros per month, gives us access to even lower prices and insurance against fraud so that, if we have a problem with the key, we get our money back.
Fanatical, game packs almost given away
fanatical It breaks with the business model of the previous ones and is committed to the sale of keys acquired by them (generally, from the developers themselves) in the form of packs. Although it has its own store for individual games, where we can really save money is with the bundles, being able to get dozens of games (of better or worse quality, depending on the package) for very little money.
Humble Bundle, solidarity game packs
Humble Bundle is similar to Fanatical, but the prices of its packs are usually a little higher than those of its rival. Of course, this platform stands out for donating a part of the money obtained from the sale of the game packs to different non-governmental organizations. An option if we want to clear our conscience after having spent the money on PC games.
