How to buy a God of War account (step-by-step)
- Decide the platform
- PlayStation (PSN) – usually tied tightly to the seller’s whole PSN ID (trophies, wallet, other games). Transfers can be messy and risky.
- PC (Steam/Epic) – you’re buying the store account, not a license you can move. Safer than PSN in practice, but still ToS-sensitive.
- Use a reputable marketplace
- Pick one that offers escrow/buyer protection, ID-verified sellers, clear ratings/reviews, and 24/7 support.
- Filter for your region (for currency, language, and sometimes content/activation rules).
- Vet the listing
- Confirm which game (God of War (2018) PC/PS4, or other entries), edition/DLC, progress (story %, NG+, gear, difficulties beaten), and achievements/trophies.
- Check original email ownership: will you get the original email or a freshly created email that you can control?
- Ask for proof (screenshots/video) with today’s date showing the account logged in and the game owned/installed.
- Clarify the handover method (before paying)
- Full access transfer: you receive login + you change password + recovery email + phone + 2FA.
- Email included: best case if it’s a brand-new email made just for the account.
- Partial access (game-share/console “primary” activation) is high-risk—avoid.
- Pay via escrow
- Complete payment only through the marketplace (no off-site DMs, crypto to random wallets, gift cards, or “friends & family”).
- Keep all chat inside the platform for dispute evidence.
- Secure the account immediately after delivery
- Log in, change password, set your recovery email/phone, enable 2FA.
- On PC: revoke “authorized devices/sessions.”
- On PSN: deactivate all devices → re-activate your console as Primary (if applicable).
- Verify the goods before confirming
- Launch the game, load the saves, test cloud sync, and confirm DLC/editions.
- Only then hit “Confirm Received.”
Red flags (walk away if you see these)
- Seller refuses escrow or pushes you off-platform.
- Won’t show fresh proof or dodges questions about recovery email/2FA.
- “Lifetime warranty,” unbelievably low prices, or promises of “can’t be recovered.”
- Console account that requires you to keep their email/2FA active.
Lower-risk alternatives
- Buy the game on your own account (keeps everything in your name).
- Import save files (PC) to get late-game gear/NG+ without buying an account.
- Save-service (someone crafts a save file for you) instead of full account transfer.
If you tell me your platform (PS or PC) and what you want (e.g., “NG+ complete, all Valkyries down, max gear”), I’ll tailor a quick buyer checklist you can paste into marketplace chats to vet sellers fast.
