Which versions of the games can I purchase in the Kalypso shop?
You can only purchase digital versions of the games for the Steam games platform from the Kalypso shop. You can add any video game to your shopping cart with a "PURCHASE" or "ADD TO CART" button. Upon completing your purchase, you will receive instant access to the activation code and be able to download the game on Steam.

There are also game versions on the website that cannot be purchased for Steam, but that are available directly from retailers such as Amazon, PlayStation Store, Android Store, or Xbox Store.

Whether digital Steam versions, downloadable versions, or packaged retailer versions, you'll find your favorite Kalypso games in your desired format in the Kalypso shop.

We currently accept credit card payments from Visa and Mastercard. You can also pay by PayPal.

Why do I have to provide my date of birth when paying?
Children under the age of 16 are not allowed to set up an account or to purchase video games from our website. Please understand that we request your date of birth for this reason. Additionally, there are age restrictions on many of the games.

Will my sensitive credit card details be saved on the website?
No! We never come into contact with your credit card details. This information remains encoded, and is transmitted directly to the credit card provider responsible for dealing with the payment.

How do I preorder games and when can I access my game?
Video games that have not yet been published have "Pre-Order" in the name of the product item. You can also purchase these pre-order items in the Kalypso shop, and you will also have immediate access to the activation codes. The activation code can be redeemed on the Steam digital platform right away. However, the digital game cannot be downloaded until the day it is released on Steam.
1
Can I return a game and get my money back?
The games that can be purchased directly from the Kalypso shop are always Steam games and therefore downloadable digital content. Digital content is also subject to EU cancellation policy. This cancellation right applies until you specifically renounce it and make use of the service. In the case of downloadable content, you make use of this service as soon as you redeem the activation code in your Steam user account and download the game. (Also see Steam refunds)

This means that you can cancel the order and get your money back as long as you have not redeemed the activation code through Steam. Please note that you cannot be reimbursed once the Steam activation code has been redeemed. You can find out more in the Terms of Sale and the cancellation policy.

Can I create Let's Play videos?
Let's Plays & streams, and with them the monetisation of your videos, are permitted for all games as long as you insert the following in your video descriptions:
  • Please always refer to the Steam store links of the game
  • Please copy this into the description:
