EU, Global or Region Free? Game Key Regions Explained

Every key in our catalog carries a small region badge next to the platform — “EU key”, for example. It tells you where the key can be activated, and checking it takes two seconds that save a lot of trouble.

What the region means

EU — activates on accounts registered in European countries.
Global / Region free — works on accounts anywhere in the world.
Other regions (US, Asia, Latin America…) — only for accounts registered there.

All keys currently sold on Knightix are EU keys.

Why region locks exist

Publishers set different prices for different markets and sign separate distribution deals. The region lock makes sure a key is redeemed in the market it was issued for.

Your account region is what counts

It is not about where you are sitting right now, but where your account is registered:

Steam — the store country of your account, set by where you usually buy from.
PlayStation — the country chosen when the PlayStation account was created. An EU code needs a European account.
Nintendo — the country of your Nintendo Account.

Do not use a VPN to activatePlatforms treat this as a breach of their terms and may restrict the account. If the region does not match, contact us before activating.

How to check before buying

Look at the badges on the product card: platform first, region second.
On the product page, the details table lists the region in full (“Europe (EU)”).
