An Empire of the Ants Steam Key — also known as a CD Key or digital code — is the official activation code you redeem on Steam and keep in your library permanently. From €6.71 (-83%) at Difmark, Steam Account format · Cheapest official key: €9.99, 75% below the €39.99 Steam price · 16 verified stores, 38 offers in stock · Updated 08h 28min ago.
Empire of the Ants for PC starts at €6.71 at Difmark, 83% under the €39.99 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 €9.99 at GamesPlanet.
That €6.71 already includes the Gocdkeys coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.
With 38 offers across 16 stores there is enough competition for the price to move, so the gap between the cheapest and the rest is worth checking before you buy.
That puts it 16% under its average of €8.00 since 2024, so today is a better entry point than most days of its life.
With the shared account at Difmark 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 GamesPlanet costs €3.28 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 11 Steam Gift offers are pricier than the key and leave more room for error, because they depend on the region and on Steam friendship.
Beyond the standard edition at €9.99, there is the Deluxe at €15.16 at Kinguin, €8.45 more. Check on the store what each one adds before paying the difference.
33 of the 38 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.
The press verdict is 73 out of 100 from 40 reviews, and 58% would recommend it.
One listing is worth ignoring: the Steam gift that G2A has at €55.93 is more than 8 times the cheapest offer and is not what this game costs. The number to work from is €9.99 at GamesPlanet.
For most people the key at €9.99 at GamesPlanet is the sensible buy: the game stays on your own account and it is only €3.28 more than the shared account.
