Question 1

Is Gamesplanet UK legit and are the game keys official?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gamesplanet UK sells official PC game keys sourced directly from publishers and authorised distributors, not grey-market resellers.

Question 2

Does Gamesplanet UK give Steam keys or do you have to use their own launcher?

Accepted Answer

Most purchases are Steam keys, and the store also sells keys for other platforms like Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect and GOG when the publisher supplies them. You redeem the key on the platform shown on the product page.

Question 3

Can you pre-load and play at midnight with Gamesplanet UK pre-orders?

Accepted Answer

Pre-load and unlock times are set by the publisher and the platform the key activates on (most often Steam). If Steam offers pre-load for that title, you can pre-load once the key is delivered and redeemed.

Question 4

When does Gamesplanet UK deliver keys for pre-orders?

Accepted Answer

Keys are delivered as soon as Gamesplanet receives them from the publisher, often before release so you can redeem early. If the publisher only supplies keys at launch, delivery happens at release time.

Question 5

Does Gamesplanet UK charge in pounds and include VAT?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The UK store prices in GBP and the price shown at checkout includes VAT where applicable for UK customers.

Question 6

Why is a game cheaper on Gamesplanet than on Steam?

Accepted Answer

Gamesplanet runs publisher-approved promotions and gets regional pricing and discount support directly from publishers. You still receive an official key for the platform listed on the product page.
