Same game, two very different tickets. DayZ is EUR13.28 at Eneba and EUR28.58 at Electronic First right now, both selling the identical PC copy. That is more than double the price for the same download, so the real question is not just who is cheapest, it is which of these keyshops you hand your card to.

DayZ is the long-running open-world survival sandbox: a brutal, slow, occasionally hilarious game about staying alive on a zombie-choked map where other players are usually the bigger threat. It is tagged Action, Adventure and Massively Multiplayer, released on December 13, 2018, and holds a 78% rating across 460,815 Steam reviews, which lands it in "Mostly Positive" territory. It is not a polished, guided experience. If you want tense, emergent, do-it-yourself stories and can stomach some jank, you will get hundreds of hours out of it. If you want objectives and hand-holding, look elsewhere. Fans of gritty multiplayer like MORDHAU or Ready or Not will feel at home in the paranoia.
The stores that carry it, head to head
Every live seller for DayZ in our database is a keyshop. None of them is listed as an official store or authorized retailer in our data, so treat them all as key resellers and lean on the trust score. Here is the full board, cheapest first.
| Store | Price | Discount | Type | Trust | Region / activation | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eneba | EUR13.28 | -72% | Keyshop | 80/100 | Not listed | Not listed |
| G2A | EUR15.30 | -13% | Keyshop | 75/100 | Not listed | Not listed |
| Gamivo | EUR19.97 | none | Keyshop | 72/100 | Not listed | Not listed |
| YuPlay | EUR27.91 | -30% | Keyshop | 65/100 | Not listed | Not listed |
| Electronic First | EUR28.58 | none | Keyshop | 85/100 | Not listed | Not listed |
A few things jump out. The spread from top to bottom is EUR13.28 to EUR28.58, a EUR15.30 gap on the same game. Trust does not track neatly with price: the cheapest store (Eneba) has a strong 80, while the priciest (Electronic First) has the highest score at 85 and the second cheapest (G2A) sits at 75. YuPlay is both the second most expensive after its 30% cut and the lowest trust on the board at 65. Our data does not list region locks or activation regions for any of these, so I am not going to invent one. Check the region on the product page before you pay, because keyshop keys are sometimes tied to a specific territory.
Where the value actually is
- Eneba (EUR13.28, trust 80/100)*
- Cheapest live price by a clear EUR2 over the next seller.
- Sitting on the tracked historical low, so you are not overpaying versus recent history.
- Solid 80/100 trust, the best value-to-safety balance on this board.
- Eneba (EUR13.28, trust 80/100)*
- Still a keyshop, not an official retailer, so standard reseller caution applies.
- Region and delivery method are not listed in our data; confirm both at checkout.
- Like most keyshops, the listed price may not include payment fees added later (see below).
G2A at EUR15.30 is the only other seller under the EUR16 mark, with a smaller 13% discount and a 75/100 trust score. It is a reasonable backup if Eneba is out of stock or the region does not suit you, but at EUR2 more with lower trust there is no reason to pick it first.
- Electronic First (EUR28.58, trust 85/100)*
- Highest trust score of any live seller at 85/100.
- No temporary discount to expire, so the price you see is not a countdown gimmick.
- Electronic First (EUR28.58, trust 85/100)*
- More than double Eneba's price for the identical game.
- The trust bump does not justify paying an extra EUR15.30 for most buyers.
Gamivo (EUR19.97, trust 72) and YuPlay (EUR27.91 after 30% off, trust 65) fill the middle and top of the price range with the two weakest trust scores here. Neither offers a reason to skip the cheaper, better-rated options above them.
Fees and checkout traps to watch
The prices in the table are the listed prices from our database. Keyshops in general are known for adding costs at the final step, so the number you click may not be the number you pay.
Best store by situation
Cheapest: Eneba at EUR13.28 (72% off). This is the DayZ Steam key cheapest price on our board and it is essentially level with the all-time tracked low, so waiting buys you nothing.
Safest by trust score: Electronic First at EUR28.58, with the top 85/100 rating. Only worth it if paying double for a few extra trust points genuinely matters to you. For most buyers, Eneba's 80/100 is plenty.
Fastest: Our data does not list delivery speed for any of these sellers, so I will not rank one as instant. Keyshops typically email keys quickly, but confirm the delivery note on the listing before you rely on it.
Should you buy now or wait?
Buy now. Here is the honest reasoning. The RRP is EUR47.99, and the current best of EUR13.28 is a 72% cut. Our tracked historical low is EUR13.27, recorded on 2026-08-16, and today's buyable best is effectively at that reading. Note that the low is a tracked historical snapshot, not a guaranteed live price, but in this case the current buyable price and the low are the same, so there is no discount left on the table to hold out for.
The recent trend backs this up. Across summer 2026 the tracked price bounced between roughly EUR15 and EUR24, spiking to around EUR24 in early July, before dropping to EUR15.30 in early August and settling near EUR13.28 through mid-August. In other words, EUR13 is the floor, not a fleeting flash sale, and it has held for over a week. There is no case for waiting unless you specifically want a region or seller that is not currently at this price.
FAQ
What is the cheapest place to buy a DayZ Steam key right now? Eneba at EUR13.28 (72% off), with an 80/100 trust score. That is the lowest of the five live keyshops we track.
Is EUR13.28 a good price for DayZ? Yes. It is 72% below the EUR47.99 list price and sits right on our tracked historical low of EUR13.27, so you are buying at the bottom of the recent range.
Are these stores official Steam sellers? No. All five (Eneba, G2A, Gamivo, YuPlay, Electronic First) are listed as keyshops in our data, not official retailers. Use the trust scores and check the region and final total before paying.
Why is Electronic First more than double Eneba's price? Different keyshops price the same key differently. Electronic First carries the highest trust score (85/100), but the EUR15.30 premium over Eneba is hard to justify for most buyers.
If you like DayZ's tense multiplayer, Killing Floor 2 is worth a look on the co-op side, and we track prices for it the same way.
