One of the most important things to check before buying a game key is its region. Getting this wrong is the number-one reason a key fails to activate. Here is how to get it right every time.
Global (region-free) keys
A global key activates anywhere in the world, on any account. It is the safest, most flexible option — if a listing says "Global" or "Region Free", you are good to go.
Region-locked keys
A region-locked key only works on accounts registered in a specific region (for example, EU or Turkey). They are often cheaper, but you must make sure the region matches your account.
How to check
- Read the Region field on the product page carefully
- Match it to your platform account country
- When in doubt, choose a Global key
A cheap region-locked key is no bargain if it will not activate on your account.
