Serenity Forge has put its catalogue on sale and Slay the Princess went in with it. Steam had been holding the game at €16.99 for weeks. On 13 September it dropped to €8.49, and that is still the price today: half off, signed by the publisher itself.
That is the announcement. Our own daily readings add a detail no press release carries. €8.49 is not a new floor at all: resellers have been sitting on roughly that figure since April, so what Steam has just done is draw level with them.
Shop prices move from one morning to the next, so read every number below as a snapshot of this morning.
What Steam changed on 13 September
Up to 12 September our readings of the Steam page came back €16.99, morning after morning. On 13 September the same page returned €8.49, and it has repeated that figure every day since. Steam adds no payment fee, so €8.49 is the whole bill, for a Standard copy that lands straight in your own library.
Genuine discount, official route, no coupon to type and nobody in the middle. Where it gets interesting is next to everything else we track.
Six months of our own readings, month by month
The cheapest price we recorded each month, across every shop on the page. Shop prices, before payment fees and before any coupon, which is how we store them.
| Month | Cheapest price we recorded |
|---|---|
| April | €8.49 |
| May | €8.75 |
| June | €8.74 |
| July | €8.74 |
| August | €8.76 |
| September | €8.49 |
Twenty-seven cents between the best month and the worst. Six months, and the bottom of the market has barely twitched. Our file on this game holds 1,378 readings, with an average of €20.00 and an all-time low of €8.49, which means the publisher sale has landed exactly on a number resellers reached in the spring and never let go of.
The cheapest copy this morning costs €8.44 with fees
There are 14 live offers across 9 shops. The front of the queue, each price given twice: what the shop asks once its coupon is applied, then what leaves your card with the payment commission on top.
- Gamivo: €7.20 with the coupon GCDKGamivo (€8.44 with fees), Standard.
- Steam: €8.49, no fees, Standard.
- K4G: €7.69 with the coupon GCDK14DEAL (€8.74 with fees), Standard.
- Difmark Digital Keys: €8.38 with the coupon Gocdkeys (€8.76 with fees), Standard.
- Kinguin: €7.99 with the coupon SEPGOC10 (€8.98 with fees), Standard.
- Eneba: €7.89 with the coupon Gocdkeys10 (€9.11 with fees), Standard.
Five cents. That is the whole advantage of the cheapest reseller over Valve's own discount, and you have to type a coupon to collect it. Anyone who would rather buy from Steam and never think about codes again is giving up almost nothing today.
The shop with the highest sticker wins at the till
Gamivo earns its own paragraph. At first glance it looks like the expensive one: its advertised price is €9.11, the dearest of that whole group and sixty-two cents above Steam. Type GCDKGamivo and it falls to €7.20. Add the payment commission back on and it finishes at €8.44 with fees, under everyone else on the page.
The sticker price got it wrong, which is exactly why we print what you pay next to what is on display: always read the second figure. The same page has a shop asking €19.90 with fees for this game, more than double the cheapest offer on it.
What a Steam Gift actually involves
Of the 14 offers, 11 are Standard copies and 3 are Steam Gifts. The cheapest gift is G2A's at €8.38 with the coupon GCKG2AH9K2L (€8.67 with fees), and it looks like it undercuts Steam until you read the second figure: with the commission on, it costs more than buying from Valve.
It is also a different errand. A gift is not a code you punch into Steam yourself. It arrives as a transfer from the seller's account, which usually means adding a stranger as a friend and waiting for them to send it over. Plenty of people buy gifts and they work fine. But you are queueing for a handover instead of pasting a code, and the eleven Standard offers on the page start below it anyway.
What waiting would actually buy you
The floor has not moved in six months. Nothing in our file hints at a €6 or €7 reading arriving, and the publisher sale did not produce one either, so holding out for something dramatically better means a long wait for pennies. If you have been circling this one, pick whichever of those shops you trust, buy Slay the Princess key and stop watching the graph.
It helps that the game is among the best-reviewed things in our whole catalogue. Steam's verdict is Overwhelmingly Positive, built on 31,885 reviews, a label most €8 games never get near.
And if you still fancy sitting it out, do it without checking every morning: a price alert writes to you the moment a shop goes under the figure you set.
