Game top-ups on PC: store, launcher or website?

On PC, the launcher account, game account and store wallet may be different systems. Choose the route that funds the balance or item you actually need.

Your next steps

  1. Identify the game's account and launcher.
  2. Check whether the purchase uses a game store, platform wallet or code.
  3. Verify the region and linked account before paying.

The details that make a difference

A Steam wallet code cannot be assumed to fund an unrelated publisher's website. Likewise, a game currency bundle may be assigned to a specific account or server rather than your PC device.

Compare the total delivered quantity and any platform restrictions. A lower price in another launcher is only relevant when the purchase reaches the account you play.
