Official Golden Key Thread/FAQ

[watts320]

How do I get a Golden Key? I have been and signed up the Shift, I think it was called... Says I have got a key, but where do I use it? Ive found a chest that has a skeleton on it and a golden key icon, but it says I dont have a key to open the chest.

I love helping people out on these forums and on xbox live, as an XBOX Ambassador. You get the Golden key by entering your code you have on your Gamestop, or I assume Best Buy receipt. You'll end up downloading the Premier Club, which contains a few items as well as the Golden Key. Hope this helps

^^ You are supposed to get another by signing up to Shift. The Premiere Club is an entirely different thing.

That's true because now I have two Golden Keys.

I somehow have 3 keys. I seriously don't know where the 3rd one came from. Well the was the Premier one, and the Shift one. Not sure if my playing with a buddy from the start on the same console did it.

I read the first pages here, did a search for "Shift" and still don't know what Shift is or how to sign up for it. So what and how please! . I'd like to get another key too!

on the main menu - extras, shift code, then you can sign up to shift on that page.

Thanks! Funny, I've never looked at "extras" at all.

You mentioned "shift code". I don't have one. Do I need it to sign up?

Sorry to be a dumbass but I've earned it over the many years.

The shift code is just a code that you can enter when you press the 'x' button while in the shift menu. It's a 25 character code that, for now, gives you a golden key when you enter it. Randy Pitchford usually gives them out via his twitter account.

Just keep an eye out on this thread as people usually post them here when he tweets them.

Shift Code is for when Randy Pitchford tweets out golden key codes. That's where you redeem them. You don't need one to sign up for Shift. Just enter your information and create an account.

EDIT: Just noticed that Gheuh2 ninja posted me while I was in the reply screen. lol
