Pros and cons
Pros
- Keys arrive as soon as payment clears, so there is nothing physical to wait for and no disc in the post.
- If a game is defective, does not work or does not match its description on the store, Gamesplanet repairs, replaces or reimburses it in full.
- It buys through a contract with each game's publisher and sells on that publisher's behalf with permission.
- Product pages show the region a key activates in, which saves guesswork when you shop from outside a game's home market.
Cons
- Some titles come with regional restrictions and activate in specific countries only, and the store shows which region applies on the product page, so read that line before you pay.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, with no phone line and no live chat in that set.
- Payment runs through card, PayPal and local wallets, with no bank transfer or gift card route in that set.
Who it suits
- PC players who want an activation key in their account the moment a payment clears.
- Shoppers who read the region note on a product page, since some games activate in named countries only.
- Buyers who would rather have a store obligated to fix or refund a key that fails than one that leaves it to goodwill.
Who should look elsewhere
- Console players, since the keys here are built for PC rather than a console.
- Anyone who needs a spoken answer, as support runs by email, help center articles and community forums.
- If your library is first-party console software, start at Nintendo Store instead.
What it does well
Keys here are digital, and delivery starts as soon as payment has cleared. The store hands over the data files, activation key or multiplayer key you need to install and run the game, or to pass a key to a friend, so nothing physical sits waiting in a postbox. The safety net is the part worth knowing before you click through a sale. If a game turns out to be defective, does not work, or does not correspond to its description on the store, Gamesplanet is required to repair, replace or reimburse it in full. That obligation is written into its legal terms, so it is a rule the store works under rather than a courtesy it offers at its own discretion. Region is the other line to read before paying. Some products come with regional restrictions and activate in specific countries only, and the store shows which region applies on the product page itself. Taking a moment with that note saves you a purchase that will sit in your library and refuse to launch from where you actually are.
Who runs it
Gamesplanet runs as Metaboli SAS, registered in France, and it is the named party on the terms you agree to when you buy a key. For a store that hands over a code rather than a box, a named operator with a traceable registration is the baseline you want before you hand over money. Where the practical promises live matters too. Support here is written rather than spoken: help runs by email, backed by a help center for the questions that keep coming up and a community space where players answer each other. Nothing in that set-up puts you in a live conversation, so a question that needs spoken help waits longer than a question that fits an existing article. That combination suits buyers who read first. You get an identifiable company on paper and help that arrives in writing, which means the answers you need are on record rather than promised on a call.

Frequently asked questions
What does a purchase from Gamesplanet give me?+
Gamesplanet sells game keys and dlc, so an order is digital. What lands in your account is the data files and content you need to install and run the game, which is the activation key or serial number, a multiplayer key or a bonus key when the title offers them. Nothing is posted, and a key is as easy to send along to a friend as to keep.
How fast do I get my key after paying?+
Delivery starts once payment has cleared, and you get access to the game data files and everything needed to install and run it straight away. Because nothing is shipped, there is no delivery estimate to track and no parcel to wait on. The code is ready to use on your own account, or to send along to a friend.
What happens if a key does not work?+
If the game turns out to be defective, does not work, or does not correspond to its description on the store, Gamesplanet is required to repair it, replace it or reimburse it in full. That duty is written into its legal terms, so a broken key becomes a repair or refund case rather than a goodwill request. Keep your order details to hand when you raise it.
Will a key activate where I live?+
Not always, and the product page is where you find out. Some products are subject to regional restrictions and activate only in specific countries or regions, and the store shows that note on the listing itself. If your country falls outside it, the key can sit in your library and refuse to launch, so read the region line before you pay.
Which countries is the store set up for?+
Gamesplanet runs in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the United States, and shoppers in each of those markets see prices in their own currency, so a UK buyer pays in pounds while a buyer in Germany or France pays in euros. The store is also clear that a key can carry its own regional limits, which matter more than the market you order from.
