Prices are approximate and updated constantly. Review all the information at each store before buying. Gocdkeys is not responsible for possible price differences.
Chronos Before the Ashes for Xbox One starts at €4.79 at Difmark, 84% under the €29.99 of the official store — but that is a shared account, not a key of your own. If you want a key tied to your own account, the cheapest is €16.23 at Kinguin.
This is the lowest price it has ever been recorded at.
That €4.79 already includes the Gocdkeys coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.
Just 8 stores stock it, 10 offers in all, so there is little here to push the price either way.
What you can actually buy today: an Xbox Key from €16.23 at Kinguin, which you redeem yourself and leaves the game on your own account, a shared account from €4.79 at Difmark, where you log in with the seller credentials instead of owning it and a boxed copy from €11.78 at PCcomponentes, which ships rather than being redeemed.
The shared account at €4.79 undercuts the key at €16.23 by €11.44, but on an account the game stays tied to credentials the seller controls; for €11.44 the key is yours and nobody can take it back.
6 of the 10 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.
The press verdict is 68 out of 100 from 66 reviews, and 32% would recommend it.
One listing is worth ignoring: the Xbox key that G2A has at €30.49 is more than 6 times the cheapest offer and is not what this game costs. The number to work from is €4.79 at Difmark.
For most people the key at €16.23 at Kinguin is the sensible buy: the game stays on your own account and it is only €11.44 more than the shared account.
