Epic Games Store adding regional pricing for more than 230 countries

[Jaded Alyx]

UPDATE: The EGS now supports regional pricing for regions/countries that did not receive regional pricing from Steam, such as the Caribbean, Venezuela, Africa, and most of the Middle East.

---------

I'm not sure if this is an error, a weird sale, or some form of regional pricing, but these prices weren't there yesterday. Did I miss something?

I want to see what prices everyone else is seeing.

EDIT: Should note that I am in the Caribbean

Adding this clarification to OP from later on in the thread.

just adding something, not all games are region priced yet. like the division 2 is still full priced

Buy me 85 copies of Metro Exodus or I'm changing your name to Alyx The Traitor Who Traitor'd Bronson Who Is A Good Man

 

[Thecrunked]

Are the games region free? Can I use my vpn to buy it and play or where I actually live (USA)?

 

[Dojima]

It shows $25 for me

If this is actual Regional Pricing, then they've beaten Steam to it in this region.

Thing is, Steam never had regional pricing here. Interesting.

 

[mutantmagnet]

I was kind of miffed that the Carribbean wasn't experiencing the regional advantages Mexico, Canada and US share as a group.This is satisfying on the merits of regional recognition. The practice of how these games are timed exclusives still isn't healthy for the overall gaming market.

 

[Jafku1]

is it region free? if so i'll paypal $20 for Metro

Is there a Carribean Steam?

Now we're sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more loving on the run

 

[The Last One]

Quoting because it deserves it.

$39.99 Standard
$59.99 Gold

Brazil

It used to show the price on our currency wasn't it? Or am I crazy(er)?

 

[chadskin]

Now that's how you win customers over.

 

[Siresly]

Epic doing something right. Now keep the streak going and stop hogging games.

From yesterday:

 

[Monster Zero]

Didnt even take long.

 

[Sotonian]

Anyone know if Epic would ban you for using an VPN to buy it?

 

[Mechaplum]

A huge deal if there are no region restrictions.

Boom! Finally someone realizing there a whole other continent that pays for shit too if prices accordingly. EGS has my attention now. I mean I'm Canadian and paying full price, but it's nice to see my peoples getting acknowledged.

 

[SpoonSpatula]

Prices still the same as usual ($59.99) in South Africa when browsing the Epic Store.

 

[Deleted member 42]

updated thread title and added threadmark.

 

[RPGamer]

I guess thats good, Steam can still learn a few things from competition (and reintroduce better sales damnit). For me it's 59€

 

[Ionic]

This is actually a correct move from Epic. I wonder if some devs will still complain about regional pricing now that Epic is trying it out too.

 

[Deleted member 10629]

Still $60 in Mexico unless I need to be logged in to see the change?

 

[Ninjatogo]

Thanks OP, now we're (also in Caribbean) being charged in GBP, now that they've corrected it.

And there is the first salvo in Epis competing with pro-consumer tactics. September-October will be interesting if they do roll out shared accounts in that announced time frame.

Epic location, Epic weather, Epic price! (compared to where I am... snow)

When you have the kind of money Epic has it wont take long to catch up if they are serious.

Shared accounts?

 

[ghostcrew]

I got a mystery refund from Epic this evening and it was because they'd adjusted some prices in my region. They auto refunded me for the pricing difference.

That's fantastic, they deserve credit for this.

 

[Firefly]

Good move.

Are consumers still responsible for payment processing charges?
