Steam Switches to the US Dollar for its Turkiye and Argentina Stores
Valve Software today announced that the Steam store will switch to the US Dollar as currency for Turkiye and Argentina. The stores for both countries have implemented this change as of November 20. The reason cited for the change is the high degree of volatility of the local currencies in the two markets, which is causing game developers to struggle to find the right pricing for their games. Gamers from other regions have been using VPNs to shop from these countriesĀ as the volatile exchange rates would mean low pricing. Those with Steam Wallet balances in the local currencies from these two markets will see their wallet balances convert to US Dollars at the day's exchange rate.
