The platform's minimum pricing threshold has changed to reflect Valve's recommendations from October.
has announced that now the platform is changing its minimum price thresholds to match those recommendations, and the long and short of it is that any game at Steam's cheapest price point is about to get a little more expensive outside the US.changing is what $0.99 translates to in non-US currencies"to adjust for some currencies drifting significantly in value over time".
That means that games purchased using Euros, Pesos, or some other currency are getting a bit more expensive if they're currently priced at the lowest level Steam permits. What's more, how much they can be discounted is changing, too.
We could use a game like Vampire Survivors as an example: That game's Argentinian price currently translates to about $0.85, according to. Presumably, Poncle will have to ratchet that up a notch or two if it wants to continue selling the game in Argentina. This news probably isn't too painful for people like me in the UK—despite, well, everything that's happened to this country's economy over the last seven years—but it could be significantly more wounding for Steam users in less developed economies. Steam's October pricing recommendations bumped up prices in Turkish Lira and Argentinian Pesos by 454% and 485%, respectively. If $0.
Valve is leaving it up to devs and publishers to update their pricing themselves. If they don't, and their games fall below the minimum pricing threshold in any particular currency, that game simply won't be available for purchase in that currency until it gets raised.
