How to activate a game key
After payment you get the key (code) by e-mail or in your order at the store. You enter it in the app or website of the platform it is for, and the game is added to your library permanently. We show where each key activates for every offer in the comparison.
Steam
In the Steam app click Add a Game in the bottom-left corner and choose Activate a Product on Steam (or use the top menu Games → Activate a Product on Steam). Enter the key and confirm.
Without the app you can also do it in a browser at store.steampowered.com/account/registerkey after signing in to Steam.
Ubisoft Connect
In the Ubisoft Connect app open the menu (three lines, top left) and choose Activate a product. Enter the key and confirm – the game appears under Games.
EA app
In the EA app open the menu (three lines, top left) and choose Redeem code. Enter the key and confirm.
Epic Games Store
Open store.epicgames.com/redeem, sign in and enter the code. In the Epic Games launcher it is under your profile icon → Redeem code.
GOG
Open gog.com/redeem, enter the code and confirm. Then download the game from the website or GOG Galaxy.
Battle.net
In the Battle.net app click your account (top right) and choose Redeem a Code.
Xbox and Microsoft Store
On the console open the Microsoft Store and choose Redeem. On PC use the Microsoft Store or Xbox app, or a browser at redeem.microsoft.com. For Xbox keys, check the region matches your account region.
PlayStation
On the console open PlayStation Store, choose Redeem code in the menu (three dots) and enter it. On the web: PlayStation Store → profile icon → Redeem codes. The code must be for the same region as your PSN account.
Nintendo Switch
On the console open Nintendo eShop, select your account and choose Redeem code. The code must match your Nintendo account region.
If a key won’t activate
The three most common reasons: you are entering it on a different platform than it is for (e.g. a Ubisoft key in Steam), the key is for another region (see Game key regions explained), or a character was mistyped (0 and O, 1 and I) – copy and paste the key instead.
If everything matches and the key still doesn’t work, contact the store’s support through your order and attach a screenshot of the error. We don’t sell keys and can’t see orders – the store handles complaints.
