Steam's Dying Light franchise sale runs until 26 September, and Dying Light: The Beast is 50% off: €29.99 on Steam, no fees. The Deluxe and Definitive editions are discounted as well, and so are the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2 Stay Human, although we haven't verified the euro figures for any of those.
This time the official store wins. On the morning of 15 September (06:00 UTC) we put Steam up against every Steam Key we list, and with payment fees counted, not one of them ducks under €29.99. Prices move every day, so that could change before the sale ends.
Kyle Crane's standalone return, almost a year on
Techland released The Beast almost a year ago. Kyle Crane, who led the first Dying Light, is back in a standalone adventure with the infected, parkour and a beast mode. Players and critics have both taken to it: it's Very Positive on Steam (51,542 positive reviews, 7,702 negative) and averages 82 on OpenCritic from 45 reviews, with 87% of critics recommending it.
Steam against the resellers, fees included
Steam was charging €59.99 until 13 September, and in the summer sale, 25 June to 11 August, it came down to €39.59. At €29.99 it has now slipped below every reseller selling Steam Keys.
The closest is Driffle, at €30.97 with the coupon GOCDKEYS10 (€32.49 with fees) for a Europe-region Steam Key, €2.50 more than Steam. K4G is the one that catches people out: it shows €29.90 with the coupon GCDK14DEAL, nine cents under Steam, and then fees take it to €32.84, €2.85 more.
| Store | Format | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | Bought on Steam | €29.99, no fees |
| Driffle, coupon GOCDKEYS10 | Steam Key, Europe | €30.97 (€32.49 with fees) |
| G2A, coupon GCKG2AU1M4D | Steam Key, global | €32.25 (€32.54 with fees) |
| Gameboost, coupon GCDK13 | Steam Key | €31.29 (€32.70 with fees) |
| K4G, coupon GCDK14DEAL | Steam Key | €29.90 (€32.84 with fees) |
| CJS-CDKeys | Steam Key | €34.58, no fees |
| Instant Gaming | Steam Key | €37.99, no fees |
For the Deluxe Edition, the Steam Keys start at Driffle, €38.59 with the coupon GOCDKEYS10 (€40.38 with fees), followed by Gameboost at €46.51 with the coupon GCDK13 (€48.60 with fees). We haven't verified Steam's discounted Deluxe figure, so look at it there before you decide.
Gifts and shared accounts: the only routes below Steam
Start with the Steam gifts. The cheapest, Driffle's at €23.81 with the coupon GOCDKEYS10 (€25.07 with fees), is a US-region gift and won't activate on a European account, so skip it if you're in Europe. Driffle's global gift is €27.08 with the same coupon (€28.46 with fees), €1.53 under Steam. Gamivo has one as well at €27.33 with the coupon GCDKGamivo (€29.28 with fees), 71 cents under, and that one is global too.
Shared accounts go a long way lower, from €13.60 at Difmark with the coupon Gocdkeys (€14.21 with fees) up to €17.62 at Kinguin with the coupon SEPGOC10 (€19.37 with fees). That gap is there because you're not buying a game at all, only the use of somebody else's Steam login, for as long as they leave it open.
What our history says about waiting
Since last October, the lowest we've recorded at the Steam Key stores (without fees or coupons) is about €30.50: CJS-CDKeys at €30.53 and Driffle at €31.33, both on 4 September. The keys have never clearly broken €30, and Steam has just gone under that mark. Whether it falls further we can't say, and nothing in our data points that way.
If you play on Xbox or PS5
On Xbox, Gamivo has the cheapest Europe-region Xbox key at €24.99 with the coupon GCDKGamivo (€26.85 with fees), with Eneba next at €25.16 with the coupon Gocdkeys10 (€27.87 with fees). Xbox shared accounts start at €11.74, no fees, at GamesPSN. On PS5, the PlayStation Store lists it at €34.99, no fees, and we can't confirm whether that's a sale price.
On PC we'd simply buy it on Steam before 26 September. If you want to look the reseller offers over first, you can buy Dying Light: The Beast key through our page, but hold every total with fees up against that €29.99 before you pay.
