Why Are Keys So Cheap?

If you're visiting our price comparison, you might wonder why keys are so cheap, but the answer is quite straightforward. Most keys come from countries where the GDP (gross domestic product) is comparatively low, such as Poland, Romania and similar EU third countries. In these places, games are priced reasonably according to the local economy. Key shops or wholesalers purchase these keys there and then sell them Why are shops often based abroad?

This is less about the keys being sold and more about the shops taking advantage of tax and business benefits available in those countries. Whether this is justifiable is up to each individual. We at Planetkey.net have deliberately chosen Germany as our base for the price comparison.

What is the difference between key shops and marketplaces?

The difference is quite simple and similar to marketplaces like Amazon or eBay. On marketplaces, various sellers offer their products, while key shops buy keys and wallet credits directly at wholesale and then sell them to customers.

What about PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo accounts?

Since Sony does not offer game keys within the EU, some marketplaces like G2A or Difmark provide PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series, and Nintendo Switch accounts. The sellers on these platforms purchase games from other countries outside the EU where prices can be up to a quarter of what they are here. These accounts can then be set up on your console as second, third, or fourth accounts, allowing the game to be downloaded as usual. However, this often violates the manufacturers' terms and conditions, even though it is not illegal. You can find more details in our article:
