Price Premium for Steam Games

Nov 05, 2023

Swiss gamers pay a hefty premium for their games, shelling out around 64% more than the average global price.
Gamers in Argentina and Turkey enjoy a significant advantage, with the 50 most popular games costing roughly 55% less than the global average when paid for in Argentine Pesos or Turkish Lira. This stark difference likely prompted Steam's decision to switch to USD as the primary currency in these countries.
Americans face the highest markup on Stronghold Crusader 2, paying a staggering 87% more than the global average when using dollars.
Capcom's games are relatively affordable for American gamers, with a markup of just 5.38% over the global average.
Indie games bear the brunt of the price hike in the U.S., costing 48.45% more than the global average, the highest markup among all genres.
