Elite: Dangerous for PC starts at €1.68 (€2.22 with fees) at K4G, 89% under the €19.99 (no fees) 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 €2.72 (€3.57 with fees) at Gamivo.
That €1.68 (€2.22 with fees) already includes the GCDK14DEAL coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.
18 of our 44 verified stores fight over this one with 44 offers between them, and that is why the price keeps sliding rather than holding.
That puts it 4% under its average of €3.62 since 2017, so today is a better entry point than most days of its life.

Is it worth buying the Steam Key for Elite: Dangerous now or waiting?
That €2.72 (€3.57 with fees) key is at one of its best prices.
- Those €2.72 (€3.57 with fees) are 25% below what it usually costs, measured on the store price.
- 16 stores sell the Steam Key at the same time, and with that much competition the price moves almost daily.
- Not counting today, only 208 days out of the 1,884 days on record were this cheap or cheaper; the lowest it has ever cost is €1.99.
Worked out from 5,589 daily records of the Steam Key for Elite: Dangerous across 34 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 Elite: Dangerous format should you buy?
With the shared account at K4G you log into an account that already owns the game: it is the cheapest route, but it never becomes yours and the seller keeps the credentials. If they ever lose or change them, you lose access.
The key at Gamivo costs €1.04 (€1.35 with fees) more, but you redeem it on your own account and the game stays there for good. That is the difference between renting and buying.
The 4 Steam Gift offers are pricier than the key and leave more room for error, because they depend on the region and on Steam friendship.
Which Elite: Dangerous editions are on sale?
Beyond the standard edition at €2.72 (€3.57 with fees), there is the Deluxe at €6.83 (€7.15 with fees) at Gameboost, €4.11 (€3.58 with fees) more and the Premium at €20.61 (€20.90 with fees) at G2A, €17.89 (€17.33 with fees) more. Check on the store what each one adds before paying the difference.
Can you activate Elite: Dangerous in US?
32 of the 44 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.
Is Elite: Dangerous worth it?
Critics landed at 79 out of 100 across 70 reviews, with 72% of them recommending it.
Why is there such an expensive Elite: Dangerous offer?
One listing is worth ignoring: the Steam gift that Kinguin has at €44.99 (€48.92 with fees) is more than 22 times the cheapest offer and is not what this game costs. The number to work from is €2.72 (€3.57 with fees) at Gamivo.

What do our users think of Elite: Dangerous for PC Digital?
It's a game not for everyone, however, if you like to go out explore the different planets, find and attack pirates for their bounties, haul cargo from one space station to another, or more then you might want to try this game
Un excelente simulador de vuelo en el espacio, al principio puede ser un poco aburrido el estar viajando entre sistemas pero con el tiempo y misiones la cosa cambia. Puedes ser desde un comerciante hasta un pirata espacial
Actually the best space Simulator.
