Amazon has put DOOM Eternal into the Prime Gaming giveaways, free to anyone already paying for Prime. Before you clear space on your Steam shelf, though: what Amazon hands over is the Microsoft Store copy, tied to your Microsoft account. It will never touch Steam.
Two dates to write down. You have until 21 October to claim it, and until 20 November to redeem the code you get. After that the licence is permanent. Cancel Prime in December and the game stays put.
Worth the ten minutes it takes, because id Software's shooter has aged extremely well: Very Positive on Steam, from 187,483 reviews. The catch has nothing to do with quality. It is purely about where the free copy ends up.
Prices below come from our catalogue on 17 September, and resellers move them overnight. Each figure appears twice: what the shop advertises, then what actually leaves your card once its payment fee goes on.
What Prime gives you, and where it lands
A Microsoft Store copy lives on your Microsoft account. If that is where you play anyway, no problem at all, and as a free game it is hard to grumble either way. If it is not where you play, the game sits apart from the rest of your collection: nobody on your Steam friends list sees you playing it, and not one Steam achievement ticks over.
For a game most people bought on Steam six years ago, that matters more than it sounds. Saves, mods, the muscle memory of where the launch button is: all of it lives wherever your library lives.
The same batch also carries RiMS Racing, handed out as an Epic copy, and Wall World 2 through the Amazon Games app. DOOM Eternal is the headliner.
One offer in 61 matches the format Amazon is giving away
The PC page currently holds 61 live offers across 15 shops. Broken down by format, the split is lopsided:
- Deluxe Ed.: 23
- Steam Key: 18
- Steam Gift: 6
- Bethesda Key: 5
- Standard: 5
- Steam Account: 2
- GOG Key: 1
- Windows Store Key: 1
One. A single Eneba offer shares a format with the Prime copy, and everything else on that page points at Steam. Amazon is giving away the version of DOOM Eternal that resellers barely bother to stock.
So: if you pay for Prime, claim it anyway, because it costs you nothing but the ten minutes. If what you actually wanted was the Steam version, the giveaway does nothing for you and the price still stands.
The Steam version: €6.49 at Cdkeys Com
Cheapest Steam copy on the page: Cdkeys Com at €6.49, no fees, a Steam Key. You redeem the code yourself, the game is in your library a minute later, and it stays there.
The rest of the cheap end, coupons included, is on our buy DOOM Eternal key page, and there is a price alert on it if you would rather hold out for a sharper number.
Valve has been asking €29.99 all month
Steam has not budged: €29.99, no fees, on every single day we checked this month. That puts the reseller code roughly €23.50 under the official shelf, for the same Steam Key landing in the same library.
Is €6.49 good in absolute terms? Our own readings say comfortably yes. We have been logging this game for more than seven years: 3,867 readings over 1,726 separate days, average €14.97. Those history figures are always taken before payment fees and before coupons, so hold them up against the advertised price rather than the checkout total.
Read the 55-cent Eneba offer twice before you touch it
That lone Windows Store Key sits at €0.55 with the coupon Gocdkeys10 (€1.14 with fees), far and away the smallest number on the page. We are still not going to call it the cheapest way to own DOOM Eternal.
Two reasons. The shop's own wording says Standard Edition, so on paper it is the whole game, but figures that small have a habit of growing at checkout, so watch the total before you pay. And it is a Microsoft Store format, which would drop the game exactly where Prime is about to drop it for nothing. Worth a look; not worth paying for until you have read the shop's own description line by line.
Two offers on the page are somebody else's account
Two of the 61 are Steam Account offers: login details for a profile the seller owns. The game sits in their library, never crosses over to yours, and the day that password changes there is nobody to appeal to. A Steam Key costs a couple of euros more and it is genuinely yours. Take the key.
