Steam Turkey and Argentina will switch to USD pricing starting from November 20

According to news from this site on October 25, the Steam official website recently announced that starting from November 20, Steam will change the currency used for sales in Argentina and Turkey to the US dollar.

V Agency stated that In recent years, exchange rate fluctuations in Argentina and Turkey have made it difficult for game developers to choose appropriate prices for their games and keep up with exchange rate changes. Additionally, Valve has difficulty keeping Steam payments up and running in these countries due to ongoing foreign exchange fluctuations, fees, taxes, and logistics issues. Pricing the game in USD for Steam users in Argentina and Turkey will help provide greater stability and consistency to players and partners, while also allowing it to continue to offer multiple payment options to Steam users in these countries. .

The announcement states that Steam will implement this change in two new pricing regions: Latin America - USD (including Argentina), MENA - USD (including Turkey).

Pricing in some countries/regions in the list below may increase, while pricing in others may decrease, depending on how the game was priced on Steam prior to this change:
