If you’ve been reading about Baldur’s Gate 3 scooping the top prize at The Game Awards 2023 and have decided now’s the time to experience Larian Studios’ epic, we’ve got some good news for you… you can nab the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game on Xbox Series X|S for just $17 USD (~£13.40).
A little bit of trickery is required, so read our step-by-step guide below for how to buy Baldur’s Gate 3 at the best possible price:
1. Purchase a CD key of the game for Egypt:
Use a marketplace such as Eneba to purchase a CD key of the Egyptian version of the game. You may need to check out the ‘other offers’ section to find the best price (at the time of writing, the default option was $22 but other sellers had it for $16). Normally, you’ll receive a digital delivery of the code in your inbox almost instantly.
2. Launch a VPN and set your location to Egypt:
After purchasing the CD key on your own IP address, launch a VPN and connect to one of their Egyptian servers. We highly recommend Private Internet Access, who are running a massive 86% off holiday deal. PIA provides ultra-secure access to servers in hundreds of locations, including Egypt, which we’ll need to appear to be from in order to take full advantage of this deal.
3. Redeem your CD key with Microsoft:
With your VPN still enabled, redeem your CD key with Microsoft online. You’ll be prompted to login to your account and should receive a confirmation message and email upon successful activation.
4. Turn your VPN off and download on your Xbox:
Finally, don’t forget to turn your VPN off, turn your Xbox on, and download your shiny new Baldur’s Gate 3: Digital Deluxe Edition. That’s all there is to it!
With gaming publishers often setting vastly different prices between regions for the very same game, VPNs are a valuable tool for gamers to ensure you’re getting a fair deal on whatever digital content you’re looking to purchase – be it your favourite streaming service, video game or DLC.
