Buy and redeem PS4 game codes: Here's how

Instead of purchasing PS4 games as discs, you can only buy game codes and redeem them in PSN. In this article, we clarify where you can get particularly cheap PS4 codes and what you need to consider with the codes.

PS4 game codes: These providers are particularly cheap

If you want to buy a PS4 code, there are many online shops available. We will introduce you to some important providers:

• MMOGA is very well known and has been on the market for a long time. Here you have a large selection of games and a variety of payment methods such as PayPal, Paysafecard and cryptocurrencies available. MMOGA also offers very reasonable prices and has been rated five stars by Trustpilot.
• Amazon also offers PS4 game codes. The selection here is not quite as large as with MMOGA, but you probably already have an Amazon account, which means less effort. Amazon also offers a whole range of payment options and can be classified as very serious and secure.
• Other well-known key shops for PS4 games are CDkeys.com, Kinguin and G2a.com. To find the cheapest provider, you can also use Keyshop comparison portals such as AllKeyShop.

Buy keys for PS4 games: you should be aware of this

Even though PS4 game codes are very practical and often cheap, there are a few things you should consider before buying:

• Since the game code market is huge, there are many dubious and criminal sites. You should be skeptical and cautious, especially when the offers are disproportionately cheap.
• You should also make sure that the code is sent to you within the specified time and that it really works. If this is not the case, contact the seller directly.
• Some websites also offer PS4 game codes that can only be activated in certain countries, such as the United States only. If you find a note on the website before buying, you should make sure that the game really works in your home country.

Advantages and disadvantages of PS4 game codes

• Time-saving advantage: While conventional PS4 games take several days to deliver, codes only take a few minutes, sometimes even seconds, to be sent to you and activated.
• Advantage convenience: Since you download the games from the PSN, the games are directly on your PS4 and can be started at any time. So you don't always have to insert a new disc to change the game.
• Disadvantage of fraud: As mentioned above, there are numerous dubious key shops on the net. Especially at very low prices, you can assume that the game codes were not obtained legally from the sellers. In the worst case, you can spend money on a key that doesn't work at all or even risk blocking your PS4 account.
• Disadvantage of storage space: If you download a lot of PS4 games, the storage space of the console will quickly reach its limits. After all, the games are usually several GB in size.
• Disadvantage for game collectors: Since you only purchase the PS4 game digitally with the game codes, there is no fancy game case that you can put on the shelf. A no-go for collectors.
