GG.deals flagged it two days ago: PixARK is free to play on Steam until Monday. It is a weekend, not a giveaway — you get in, you explore, you tame a few dinosaurs, you throw up a base, and on Monday the door shuts behind you. Which leaves one question worth answering: if the weekend goes well, what does it cost to carry on?
We compare thirteen live offers for the PC version across eight stores, and today the answer is an awkward one for a price comparison site. The cheapest copy that ends up in your own library is the one Valve sells: € at Steam, format Standard. Not one reseller on our page beats that with a code.
What the free weekend does and does not give you
Snail Games USA is studio and publisher here, and what it has put on the table is exactly a weekend. Play as much as you like until Monday, pay nothing, keep nothing. There is no small print underneath, because there is nothing underneath.
Steam’s overall verdict is Mostly Positive, built on 8,112 positive reviews out of 10,962. That is a big enough sample to take seriously, and Mostly Positive means roughly what it sounds like: plenty of people get along with this game and a sizeable minority never do. A free weekend is the cheapest way to find out which group you are in.
Two offers beat Steam, and both of them are gifts
Sort our PixARK page by price and two entries come in under the official store, both Steam Gift: Gamivo at € (with coupon OCTGOC10) and Gameseal at 4.79 euros. A gift involves no code at all: a seller passes you the game as a present out of their own Steam account and you accept it. Plenty of people buy this way and never have a problem, but the purchase leans on somebody else’s account and you end up with nothing registered in your name.
Gamivo saves you eighty cents. Gameseal saves you eight. Eight cents is the price of nothing at all, and no one should be routing a purchase through a stranger’s Steam account for that.
The other six gifts on the page all ask more than Valve does: Kinguin twice at 5.52 euros, Gamivo at 6.23 euros, G2A at 7.31 euros and G2A twice more at 8.60 euros. Eight Steam Gift offers in total, then: six above the official store, two below it.
| Price | Store | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 4.07 € | Gamivo | Steam Gift |
| 4.79 € | Gameseal | Steam Gift |
| 4.87 € | Steam, the official store | Standard |
| 5.52 € | Kinguin (two offers) | Steam Gift |
| 6.23 € | Gamivo | Steam Gift |
| 7.31 € | G2A | Steam Gift |
| 8.60 € | G2A (two offers) | Steam Gift |
| 17.99 € | Kinguin | Standard, a Steam Key |
| 18.51 € | Gameboost | Standard |
| 21.71 € | Eneba | Standard |
| 31.03 € | GamesPlanet | Standard |
The first reseller code is 17.99 euros
Past the gifts, the first offer that puts a real Steam Key in your hands is Kinguin at 17.99 euros, format Standard. That is 13.12 euros on top of what Valve is charging. Behind it, Gameboost at 18.51 euros Standard, Eneba at 21.71 euros Standard and GamesPlanet at 31.03 euros Standard. Four codes on the page, and the cheapest of the four is getting on for four times the official price.
Five months of prices, and who actually cut them
Our record on this game runs to 2,864 measurements. Across the last five months the cheapest offer on the page, whatever its format, went 18.75, 18.75, 8.38, 8.38 and 4.07 euros this month. The average across the whole page barely shifted over the same stretch: 23.04, 23.63, 21.60, 19.52 and 21.18 euros.
When the floor drops by nearly fifteen euros and the average stays put, that is not a market falling. It is one store cutting while everyone else watches. The store is Steam: its own price has gone 19.50 euros, then 8.38, then 4.87, Standard throughout, and 4.87 euros is the lowest we have ever logged for the official store on this game.
For completeness: the lowest number anywhere in our series is 0.83 euros, format unknown, and it belongs to a much older chapter of this page. Do not plan your weekend around it.
When our page will be worth checking again
The day the official discount ends. Go back to the first two of those five months: with Steam at its normal price, the cheapest thing on the entire page was 18.75 euros, and it was a reseller putting it there. That is the shape of the page where comparing stores saves you real money, and it comes back the moment the sale closes.
For now, the advice that pays us least is the right one. If the weekend wins you over, hand Valve the € and get on with it. Do keep the page for later, though: every store, price and format is on buy PixARK key, and the full series sits on the PixARK price page.
