Buy The Escapists Steam Key

Q: Why is the Steam Key of The Escapists 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 The Escapists to your game library. The account format requires more complicated steps and is more prone to errors during activation.

About The Escapists

You’ve landed yourself in prison again, and your only chance is to engineer an escape by any means necessary. How you do it is up to you! Why not cause a prison riot? Or dig a tunnel right under the walls of the prison? Or even steal a guard uniform to blend in with your captors?

The Escapists is a unique prison sandbox experience with lots of items to craft and combine in your daring quest for freedom. Life in prison will keep you on your toes with the strict rules that you’ll have to break. The guards are out to stop any escape attempts, so you’ll have to avoid suspicious behaviour by attending roll calls, working a prison job and hiding your stolen craftables.

Escaping is what you do best, and you’ll have to prove your skills in a variety of challenging prisons from across the world.

Become an Escapist now!

How much does The Escapists for PC cost right now?

The Escapists for PC starts at €1.87 at Driffle, a Steam key, which is 88% under the €14.99 it costs on the official store.

That €1.87 already includes the GOCDKEYS10 coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.

There is a cheaper listing, €1.79 at Driffle, but it is a Europe key and it will not redeem on a US account however good the price looks.

With 19 offers across 12 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 4% under its average of €1.94 since 2017, so today is a better entry point than most days of its life.

Is it worth buying the Steam Key for The Escapists now or waiting?

That €1.79 key is expensive for what it usually costs.

Those €1.79 are 14% above what it usually costs, measured on the store price.
12 stores sell the Steam Key at the same time, and with that much competition the price moves almost daily.
Across the 2,602 days we have tracked it, it has only been pricier than today on 531 days. The lowest it has ever cost is €1.04.

If you do not need it today, waiting pays off: we have seen it at €1.04 and right now you would pay €0.95 more. We will tell you the day it drops.

Worked out from 4,533 daily records of the Steam Key for The Escapists across 31 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.

Can you activate The Escapists in US?

14 of the 19 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.

Is The Escapists worth it?

The press verdict is 73 out of 100 from 58 reviews, and 46% would recommend it.

Why is there such an expensive The Escapists offer?

One listing is worth ignoring: the Steam key that Greenmangaming has at €14.99 is more than 8 times the cheapest offer and is not what this game costs. The number to work from is €1.79 at Driffle.

Digital edition or cd key of The Escapist, which we are one of the prisoners and we must use all our ingenuity to escape from prison while we are under the watchful eyes of the guards.

It is also possible to download it directly from the GoG store, if you buy at this store.
