How much does STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R for PC cost right now?
STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R for PC starts at €13.17 (€13.93 with fees) at Key4Games, 72% under the €49.99 (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 €18.77 (€19.62 with fees) at Gameboost.
That €13.17 (€13.93 with fees) already includes the GOCDKEYS16 coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.
With 28 offers across 18 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.

Is it worth buying the Steam Key for STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R now or waiting?
That €18.77 (€19.62 with fees) key is at its usual price: no bargain, no spike.
- Those €18.77 (€19.62 with fees) are 4% above what it usually costs, measured on the store price.
- 15 stores sell the Steam Key at the same time, and with that much competition the price moves almost daily.
- Not counting today, 290 days out of the 468 days on record were this cheap or cheaper; the lowest it has ever cost is €14.12.
Worked out from 3,365 daily records of the Steam Key for STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R across 16 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.
Are these stores safe to buy STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R from?
One caveat worth €0.26 (€0.10 with fees): the €13.17 (€13.93 with fees) at Key4Games is the cheapest, but that store carries only 37 Trustpilot reviews, so there is barely any track record behind it. Difmark sells the same shared account for €13.43 (€14.03 with fees) — €0.26 (€0.10 with fees) more — backed by 14.2k reviews and a 4.1 out of 5, which is a small premium for a seller thousands of buyers have already tested.
Which STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R format should you buy?
With the shared account at Key4Games 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 Gameboost costs €5.60 (€5.69 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 5 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 STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R in US?
21 of the 28 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.
