See every live price for Steins;Gate Re:Boot

A shop banner always says the same three things: one price, one seller, one percentage. What it never says is which of the products on sale that percentage belongs to. Resellers list Steins;Gate Re:Boot in two different shapes — a plain Standard and a Digital Deluxe Edition — and once both are on the same screen the cheapest number and the deepest discount stop pointing at the same purchase. Below is every line currently on the Steins;Gate Re:Boot listing, sorted by what you actually pay.

Which Steins;Gate Re:Boot are the sellers actually listing?

Two labels circulate, and the gap between them is not a discount — it is a different product. MAGES. Inc. developed the remake and Spike Chunsoft publishes it; on PC it is a Steam release, so every reseller line here ends up in the same library either way.

LabelWhat it isCheapest live line
StandardThe base game and nothing else. This is the reference every percentage on every banner is measured against.20.51 (with coupon AUGGOC10)
Digital Deluxe Ed.A separate listing that bundles extra content on top of the base game. Resellers rarely spell out what that content is.32.49

That second row is the one worth slowing down on. Neither our catalogue nor the reseller titles state what the Digital Deluxe adds beyond "extra content", so treat the difference as unspecified until the seller's own description says otherwise. Paying a premium for a line you cannot itemise is the most common way a good deal turns into an average one.

Is the deepest cut on Steins;Gate Re:Boot the best buy?

The headline figure resellers quote is the gap against the official Steam price of the Standard edition. Right now that gap reaches 65% on the cheapest Standard line, which lands at Kinguin.

But compare like with like. A Deluxe listing carries its own, higher reference, so a smaller percentage there can still be a better outcome than a bigger percentage on a Standard — and the reverse happens too, because a Deluxe from one seller can sit below the official price of the plain Standard. The percentage is a claim about a reference point, not about value. The column that matters is the one to the left of it.

Read the label before the number. Two lines on that board can carry almost the same title and be a different edition, a different region or a different subtitle set. Sorting by price alone puts them side by side as if they were interchangeable. They are not.

Why two Steins;Gate Re:Boot lines with the same name cost different amounts

Three things move the figure without changing the edition, and all three are visible in the seller's own title if you look for them.

Region

Most lines here are sold as global activations, but some sellers keep a separate Europe-restricted listing alongside the global one. A restricted code that refuses to redeem is not a bargain, it is a refund request.

Subtitle languages

A visual novel is text first, so this matters more here than it would on a shooter. Some marketplace listings state the language set the code carries directly in their title. When a listing bothers to spell that out, believe it, and check it covers the language you intend to read the game in.

The seller's own coupon

Site-wide coupons move the final figure below the listed price, and they are the reason a shop that looks third on a comparison page can end up first at checkout.

Which of these sellers has a track record

Trustpilot scores describe the shop, not the game. A strong score does not make an edition you did not want any better.

  • Gamivo — 3.8 / 5 over 49,000+ reviews.

Frequently asked questions about Steins;Gate Re:Boot

Is this a remake or a re-release of the original?

A remake. It rebuilds the visual novel that started the series rather than repackaging it, which is why it is listed as its own product and not as a bundle with the earlier entries.

Which launcher does the PC version use?

Steam. Every reseller line on the board above redeems into a Steam account, so the storefront you buy from changes the price and the paperwork, not where the game ends up.

Do I need to have played the earlier games first?

No. This is the entry point of the series, so it is the one place where starting cold is the intended experience.

Is the Digital Deluxe worth the difference?

Only if the seller's description tells you what it contains. Unspecified extra content is not a reason to pay more, and the Standard line is the same game.

Should I wait for a deeper cut?

The full record of what it has been asked for over time answers that better than any banner. It is on the Steins;Gate Re:Boot price comparison.

Our verdict

Take the Standard unless a seller's description makes the case for its Deluxe in writing. Check the region and the language set on the exact line you are clicking rather than on the one above it. When you have decided which of the two you want, you can buy Steins;Gate Re:Boot key from the full listing.
