Hello everyone,
We want to give you all a heads up that some currencies will soon see a regional price adjustment for two of our upcoming games: Cities Skylines II and The Lamplighters League. As always, we want to be as transparent as possible, so before I dive into the details of the degree each currency is affected, I’d like to share our reasoning for this adjustment.
As a general rule, we try to maintain a reasonably fair balance between regional prices, based on peer benchmarks as well as purchasing power parity across markets and industries. As a result, this coming regional adjustment is mainly motivated by several markets not being in line with our benchmark, which increases the risk of regional price abuse, for some currencies.
The price changes in question will come into effect at the time of both games’ releases. For Lamplighters League - October 3rd 2023, and Cities Skylines II, October 24th 2023. Prior to these dates, pre-order prices will remain at current levels. Furthermore please note that the price adjustments listed here will affect only Steam and Epic, no other platform.
The price adjustments of these games will vary from market to market. The currency that is most off our benchmark is the Argentinian Peso, and you can expect an increase of up to 170% there.
Some of the other prominent currencies to be affected by this price adjustment will be:
BRL - up to 30%
JPY - up to 30%
TRY - up to 60%
RUB - up to 40%
You can also expect to see adjustments of a similar level for PEN, COP, KZT, UYU, UAH
There is also a number of currencies which will receive smaller price increases:
IDR, MYR, PHP, SGD, THB, KRW, MXN, CAD, CNY, INR, CLP, ZAR, TWD, SAR, AED, KWD, QAR, CRC, VND.
USD, GBP and EUR will not see any price increases in this price adjustment.
I realize there is a lot of information to take in. We can’t fit details of every single currency adjustment here, but if you’re curious about the details of any currency, please ask away and I’ll do my best to provide additional information.
