How much does the Steam version of Guild Wars 2 cost?
In general, you can play Guild Wars 2 for free. Because the base game of GW2 has been Free2Play for years. But if you quickly realize that you are really impressed by the world of Tyria, the classes and the story including activities, then you can buy the so-called “Complete Edition”. This costs 100 € and really contains everything that has appeared in content packages over ten years. Accordingly, the Complete Edition contains:
- The extension Heart of Thorns (also unlocks revenant class)
- The extension Path of Fire
- The extension End of Dragons
- All five seasons of Living World episodic mini-expansions, so to speak, bridging stories between expansions and bringing tons of content, activities, features, and rewards with them.
The Complete Edition of Guild Wars 2 on Steam also includes the new expansion End of Dragons – let’s go to the Asian kingdom of Cantha!

A great package, then, when you consider that you’re basically looking at 10 euros a year of GW2 history. You will definitely save money with it, because individually you would have to shell out well over 100 € for this content.
Can I transfer my GW2 account to Steam?
Anyone who now thinks that they can switch to Steam as a GW2 veteran because of cool Steam features such as a friends list, community features, streaming, overlay, etc., will have to be disappointed. Existing Guild Wars 2 accounts cannot be transferred to Steam. You would have to start from scratch with a Steam account – accordingly, the Steam version is only worthwhile for players who have hardly or ideally not put any time into Guild Wars 2.
