God of War Price History: Buy Now or Wait?

Wait for a sale or buy now? The history has an answer

That is the only question worth asking about God of War right now, and the price log answers it fast. The current best buyable price is God of War at EUR12.99 on YuPlay, which is 74% off the EUR49.99 list price. The tracked historical low is EUR12.12, so today's price sits just EUR0.87 above the cheapest reading we have ever logged. When the gap to the floor is under a euro, waiting stops being a strategy and starts being a hobby.

Prices verified from our live price database on June 30, 2026.

So the buy-vs-wait debate is essentially closed. What actually matters is where you buy, because the raw-cheapest listing and the smart-cheapest listing are not the same store. Let me walk the history, then point you at the pick I would use.

The price journey, in one glance

God of War landed on PC on January 14, 2022, and it is genuinely acclaimed rather than merely liked. It carries a Metacritic 93 and a Steam 96% rating across 178,916 reviews, which is about as broad a consensus as PC games get. That matters for a buy-now call, because you are not gambling on quality. You are only shopping for a number.

Here is the tracked historical price over the last month. Note the label: this is the lowest tracked reading per snapshot, not necessarily the buyable price at every store on that day.

The shape tells the whole story. The game held around EUR16.34 for the first stretch of June, drifted up into the EUR17.75 band, then spiked past EUR22 in the third week. Then it dropped hard to EUR12.99 on June 27 and has held there since, with our snapshot dipping to EUR12.12 on July 1. That EUR12.12 is a tracked reading, not a listing you can necessarily add to a cart today, which is why the current buyable best is EUR12.99.

The sale pattern: what the numbers actually do

Across eight stores the spread is wide, roughly EUR46 from the cheapest listing to the most expensive. That is normal for a game this popular: keyshops undercut hard, official sellers sit higher, and a couple of outliers ask near or above full price. Here is the live board.

The recent history says the current window is the good one. Two weeks ago you would have paid EUR17 to EUR22 for the same game. The June 27 drop to EUR12.99 is the meaningful event here, and it has stayed put through multiple snapshots, so this is not a one-hour flash that vanishes before you reach checkout. Stable and low is the combination you want.

The store question: cheapest is not the same as best

The raw-cheapest listing is YuPlay at EUR12.99, but that is a lower-trust keyshop (trust 65). It is a key reseller, not an official storefront, and I would not lead you there just to save a little over a euro. The trust score exists for a reason.

My pick is Eneba at EUR14.69 (trust 80). It is still a keyshop, but the higher trust rating is worth the EUR1.70 difference over YuPlay. That is the safe-cheapest call: the lowest price I am comfortable pointing a reader toward without a caveat attached to every sentence.

If you want an official storefront for peace of mind, Fanatical at EUR17.99 (official, trust 95) is the one to reach for. You pay about EUR3 more than Eneba and around EUR5 more than YuPlay, and in exchange you get the highest-trust seller on the board. For a lot of buyers that is a fair trade.

One grounding note before you buy: these listings are for the base game only. Ignore bundles, editions and account-based offers when you compare, because they are not the same product and they muddy the price line. This activates on Steam, so you are buying a Steam key for the standard game and nothing more.

Is now a good time?

Yes, and the data is not subtle about it. The price is near its tracked all-time low, it has held steady across several snapshots, and it is 74% below list. The upside of waiting is at most EUR0.87, and only if the market drifts back to that EUR12.12 reading, which is a tracked snapshot rather than a standing offer. Against that you are risking a bounce back to the EUR16 to EUR22 range the game sat in for most of June.

So buy now. Take Eneba at EUR14.69 if you want the smart-cheapest balance of price and trust, or Fanatical at EUR17.99 if you would rather stay on an official storefront. Either way you are getting one of the best-reviewed action adventures on PC for around a quarter of its launch price.
