Which digital format of Desert Child should I buy for PC? An Account or a Steam Key ?

The account format is cheaper but has a more complicated activation process compared to a simple key or code. It may also cause access issues in the future, which is why we only recommend it to users who are familiar with this format or have used it before. If you’re looking for a simpler and safer activation process and don’t mind paying a bit more, we recommend buying the Steam Key format.

If I buy the account format of Desert Child, will the store provide all the activation instructions?

Yes, stores that sell this format usually guide users through the entire activation process, and if any issues arise, they offer customer support services. And if they don’t help, don’t worry—we’re here to assist you too.

Can I return a digital game for PC?

Some digital formats allow returns under certain conditions.

The store does not send my order and does not respond to support. What can I do?

Don't worry, we have the solution. We will handle it ourselves.

The final price is higher than indicated.

Many stores add payment fees, taxes,... in the cart. So be prepared to spend a little more.

I'm desperate: They don't send me the game, the store ignores me. I think I've lost my money.

Calm down, don't panic. Contact us and we will help you resolve it as soon as possible.

Q: Why is the Steam Key of Desert Child safer than the account format?

The Steam Key format is what we always recommend due to its ease of use and higher security compared to any other format. You just need to redeem the key in your account to download Desert Child to your game library. The account format requires more complicated steps and is more prone to errors during activation.

How much does Desert Child for PC cost right now?

Desert Child for PC starts at €0.20 at Kinguin, a Steam key, which is 98% under the €11.39 it costs on the official store.

That €0.20 already includes the AUGGOC10 coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.

The listing shows 22 offers from 13 stores, though only 21 can be bought at this moment — the price above comes from those.

That puts it 39% under its average of €0.33 since 2018, so today is a better entry point than most days of its life.

Is it worth buying the Steam Key for Desert Child now or waiting?

That €1.23 key is at one of its best prices.

Those €1.23 are 74% below what it usually costs, measured on the store price.
9 stores sell the Steam Key at the same time, and with that much competition the price moves almost daily.
Not counting today, the lowest we have recorded for the Steam Key across 427 days is €2.00 — and today it is below that.

At this price it is worth buying the Steam Key now: what you stand to gain by waiting is a few euros, and it is not guaranteed.

Worked out from 1,011 daily records of the Steam Key for Desert Child across 13 stores. See the full price history.

The price does not include each store's payment fees. The percentage is measured on the store price, without coupons, because that is how we record the history. The analysis only counts Key offers. Shared accounts, Steam Gift and physical editions stay out, because they are not the same product and their prices move differently.

Which Desert Child editions are on sale?

Beyond the standard edition at €0.20, there is the Deluxe at €0.56 at Kinguin, €0.36 more. Check on the store what each one adds before paying the difference.

Can you activate Desert Child in US?

17 of the 22 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.

Is Desert Child worth it?

Critics landed at 58 out of 100 across 24 reviews, with 17% of them recommending it.

Why is there such an expensive Desert Child offer?

One listing is worth ignoring: the Steam key that GamersGate has at €11.39 is more than 56 times the cheapest offer and is not what this game costs. The number to work from is €0.20 at Kinguin.

So, which Desert Child deal should you buy?

Get it now: the cheapest key is at G2A for €1.23 and the game stays on your own account.

The lowest we have ever seen is €2.00, so waiting is unlikely to give you much more than you already have today.

Attention: Desert Child is a game in digital key or Steam cd key format (although it may also be available in other versions such as Steam Gift), depending on which online store you buy. Depending on the format, it must be activated in one way or another. Remember also that they may have regional blocking, so pay attention to this information.

In Desert Child, you are a talented young hoverbike driver who needs to discover how enough money can be raised through strange careers and jobs to buy a ticket to Mars and opt for a new life. Human beings have had enough of the Earth and have begun to go into exile on Mars in order to seek a better life, although conditions on Mars are not the most suitable. But the exodus to the red planet has now come to a halt, due to the rise in ticket prices, so many humans cannot access this new life.

Now, there is only one option left for us to go to Mars and that is to do any available work, no matter how dangerous it may seem, whether it be delivering pizzas, collecting weapons or even looking for rewards and participating in illegal races. Our goal is to make money and we will do whatever it takes.

Most common FAQs when buying Desert Child for PC in digital format:

It is a key that will allow you to download the game Desert Child on your PC from official download platforms.

As of 05/08/2026, in United States, the best price we have found in our selection of online stores that include the key for Desert Child on PC is €0.20.

The Steam Key format is what we always recommend due to its ease of use and higher security compared to any other format. You just need to redeem the key in your account to download Desert Child to your game library. The account format requires more complicated steps and is more prone to errors during activation.

The only issue we’ve encountered in 13 years is receiving a duplicate key that doesn’t work. In that case, simply contact the store where you bought Desert Child, and they will provide a new key. You can also contact us, and we’ll help you out.

Delivery times vary by store. For example, in the case of Instatgaming, Eneba, G2a, or Kinguin, delivery is usually instant or takes just a few minutes. These stores rarely delay game deliveries.

Other stores may take 30–40 minutes depending on game availability. On release days, delivery times may be slightly longer.

If you notice an unusually long delay, contact the store or us, and we’ll resolve it as quickly as possible.

At Gocdkeys, we only list the most well-known stores that have passed our quality checks. One of the most important factors is good customer support, and all listed stores offer it.

There have been occasions when those services were overwhelmed, which is why we also offer 24/7 customer support to help resolve any issues or questions.

In any case, we always offer a 100% guarantee, so you won’t have any problems, and if you do, we’ll resolve them as soon as possible.
