Official stores sell games licensed by the publisher. Those selling keys (Humble, Fanatical, Green Man Gaming, Gamesplanet…) usually deliver a Steam key, sometimes Ubisoft Connect or EA app: the store page says which.
Key resellers (grey market)
K4G is a marketplace where third-party sellers resell keys. Prices are often lower, but the publisher earns nothing more and a key can, rarely, be revoked. GamePrix therefore lists them apart, keeps only PC keys and gifts valid in Europe or worldwide, and leaves out shared accounts and keys from other regions (Argentina, Turkey, Russia…).
Not compared yet
Consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo) come in a later version. Several key resellers (Instant Gaming, Kinguin, Eneba, G2A…) do not publish their prices: they are not compared.
