GAMIVO Showcases the Benefits of Digital Distribution

The era of blowing dust out of game cartridges and worrying about scratched discs has faded fast. Digital distribution has evolved from a novelty to the primary method by which many gamers buy and play games. GAMIVO, a platform for buying and selling games in the form of activation keys, describes how digital distribution benefits everyone.

Instant access and unmatched convenience

One of the biggest wins for digital gaming is pure convenience. Gone are the days of driving to a store, hoping a title is in stock, and waiting in line. Now, gamers can browse a digital store like Steam or the PlayStation Store, make a purchase, and start downloading new games in seconds. This means players can play major releases as soon as they launch.

“As a platform specializing in selling discounted digital products in the form of so-called keys, we’ve watched the market evolve for years. Digitalization and gaming are a natural pairing; players accustomed to services like Steam prioritize convenience above all else. However, with so many new titles being released, attractive pricing and a user-friendly interface are other crucial factors. Digital platforms like GAMIVO are designed to address all of these key aspects, including pre-order games and professional customer service,” says Marta Wawrzyniak, the representative from GAMIVO.

This convenience also applies to managing game collections. Instead of shelves overflowing with plastic cases, an entire library can be neatly organized in one digital space. Moreover, with cloud saves and account-based licenses, players can access their games and progress across different devices.

Cheaper games, smarter spending

One of the key advantages of digital distribution lies in its competitive pricing. As the GAMIVO representative explains, “Digitalization allows suppliers to offer more attractive prices and discounts by eliminating the costs associated with physical stores. That’s how players can find cheap games on GAMIVO and other similar platforms.”

Moreover, seasonal events, flash sales, giveaways, and bundle deals can further lower the costs. Services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus have taken this even further, offering access to huge libraries of games for a single monthly fee.

“Subscription models, including our GAMIVO SMART, offer daily and monthly discounts that make gaming more affordable, especially during seasons when numerous premieres are being released,” adds Wawrzyniak.

More games, more discoveries

Today’s customers value having a wide range of choices, and digital stores deliver exactly that. Unlike physical stores, they aren't limited by shelf space, allowing them to offer vast catalogs of games. From blockbuster AAA titles to unique indie gems and timeless classics from past generations, digital platforms cater to every gaming preference.

For GAMIVO, endless variety is an important factor contributing to the platform’s success. “With hundreds of verified suppliers, gamers can find and browse through a diverse selection of games. Digital stores use recommendations, reviews, and curated lists to help find new games that match anyone’s tastes. That’s why every day we make sure customers can buy all kinds of cheap games on GAMIVO. This increased accessibility makes it easier to explore different genres and discover hidden gems that might have otherwise been missed,” says Wawrzyniak.

Eco-friendly gaming

Another advantage of digital stores is their eco-friendly aspect. Physical copies of games require significant material and energy resources for production, including creating the discs, printing manuals, and designing and manufacturing the packaging. Beyond production, there are additional environmental costs tied to shipping these physical copies around the world and storing them in warehouses or retail outlets

“Digital distribution eliminates many of these processes, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the gaming industry. Furthermore, the shift to digital means less waste is generated from discarded game cases, broken discs, and outdated physical media, which often end up in landfills. By choosing digital over physical, gamers contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious approach to entertainment,” points out Marta Wawrzyniak.

Empowering developers

For developers and publishers, going digital cuts the high costs associated with manufacturing and shipping physical copies. There's no need for packaging, discs, or global logistics. This financial efficiency allows studios or even individual developers to publish their games without losing a large budget. This is, after all, how the indie game industry grew and amassed incredible popularity

“Digital distribution opens the way for developers who might never get a chance at retail distribution, giving them a platform to reach a global audience. This means many multi-seller platforms like GAMIVO become a go-to place for everyone looking for an affordable platform to sell games cheaply,” describes Wawrzyniak.

The future is digital

As internet speeds improve and new technologies, including cloud gaming, become more common, the move toward digital will persist. A report from Video Games Europe reveals that in 2025, digital purchases account for 90% of gaming revenue across Europe, up from 85% in 2023.

“Digital distribution is evolving constantly. As an example, Nintendo announced this year the Virtual Game Card, a digital feature that allows players to play the same games on different Nintendo Systems, borrowing and lending games between Nintendo family members. Nevertheless, even with the growing digitalization of today’s world, there are still some people who prefer physical copies and collector’s editions,” concludes the GAMIVO representative.
