Which digital format of Resident Evil 5 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 Resident Evil 5 , 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 Resident Evil 5 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 Resident Evil 5 to your game library. The account format requires more complicated steps and is more prone to errors during activation.

How much does Resident Evil 5 for PC cost right now?

Resident Evil 5 for PC starts at €4.02 at Eneba, a Steam key.

That €4.02 already includes the GOCDKEYS10 coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.

There is a cheaper listing, €3.42 at Kinguin, but it is a Europe key and it will not redeem on a US account however good the price looks.

There are 38 offers across 15 stores, 35 of them in stock right now, which is what the price above is picked from.

Shared account !

€26.26

Cheapest, but the game is not yours

Steam Key

Stays on your account for good

Steam Gift

€19.87

Pricier and more likely to fail

Is it worth buying the Steam Key for Resident Evil 5 now or waiting?

That €3.60 key is expensive for what it usually costs.

Those €3.60 are 15% above what it usually costs, measured on the store price.
10 stores sell the Steam Key at the same time, and with that much competition the price moves almost daily.
Across the 2,196 days we have tracked it, it has only been pricier than today on 346 days. The lowest it has ever cost is €1.05.

If you do not need it today, waiting pays off: we have seen it at €1.05 and right now you would pay €3.06 more. We will tell you the day it drops.

Worked out from 3,127 daily records of the Steam Key for Resident Evil 5 across 27 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 Resident Evil 5 format should you buy?

The cheapest offer is already a key for your own account: €3.60 at Gamivo, so there is no reason to weigh up a shared account here.

The 3 Steam Gift offers are pricier than the key and leave more room for error, because they depend on the region and on Steam friendship.

Can you activate Resident Evil 5 in US?

25 of the 38 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.

Is Resident Evil 5 worth it?

Critics landed at 72 out of 100 across 22 reviews, with 62% of them recommending it.

Why is there such an expensive Resident Evil 5 offer?

One listing is worth ignoring: the Steam key that Driffle has at €51.88 is more than 12 times the cheapest offer and is not what this game costs. The number to work from is €3.60 at Gamivo.

So, which Resident Evil 5 deal should you buy?

If you can wait, wait. The key is 15% above its average today and we have seen it at €1.05. Set an alert and we will tell you the day it drops.

If you want it now, get it at Gamivo for €3.60: it is the cheapest key right now and the game stays on your own account.

In Resident Evil 5, returning hero Chris Redfield is sent to Africa to investigate a biological weapon that is transforming the populace into aggressive and disturbing creatures. Joined by another local BSAA agent, Sheva Alomar, the two must work together to solve the truth behind the frightening turn of events. Featuring a revolutionary new co-op mode of gameplay, Resident Evil 5 will let players experience fear together as terror moves out of the shadows and into the light of day. The PC version of Resident Evil 5 features online play for co-operative play sessions over the internet and will also take advantage of NVIDIA’s new GeForce 3D Vision technology

Most common FAQs when buying Resident Evil 5 for PC in digital format:

It is a key that will allow you to download the game Resident Evil 5 on your PC from official download platforms.

As of 04/08/2026, in United States, the best price we have found in our selection of online stores that include the key for Resident Evil 5 on PC is €3.42.

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 Resident Evil 5 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 Resident Evil 5 , 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.
