Fanatical

Fanatical is a digital store for PC game keys based in Rugeley, Staffordshire, in the United Kingdom. It started in 2012 as Bundle Stars and was renamed Fanatical on 1 November 2017. The store is a subsidiary of the British publisher Focus Multimedia Limited, which was founded in 1995 and acquired by the US company Fandom, Inc. in February 2021. Fanatical sells keys that were bought or licensed directly from developers and publishers, mainly for Steam.

Features

• More than 16,000 officially licensed titles from over 1,800 publishers and developers.
• Bundles, including build-your-own bundles, themed bundles and charity bundles.
• Software, comics, e-books and online courses besides games.
• Keys are activated on the platform of the game, mostly Steam.

Ownership and limits

Because Fandom, Inc. in the United States owns the parent company, Fanatical is marked as having a non-European parent, although the store operates from the United Kingdom. Like other key stores, it has no game client of its own.
