After the Capcom games on Steam, which tried to keep the exchange rate quite low, many games started to increase. The rates are quite different.
The last stronghold of the players in Turkey is about to fall. As you know on the Steam platform, there was a policy of fixing the exchange rate despite the great increases in the exchange rate. Although this situation was overcome in some games, we saw that many games were generally much more affordable than other platforms. Recently, however, it seems that there has been a change in this fixed exchange rate. Because we started to see that the games on the platform have increased up to 800%.
All games on the Steam platform started to get a raise
This price increase news first came with the news of a hike in Capcom games. The company had increased up to 400% in many of its games, especially the Resident Evil series. After the Capcom games, the prices of both big-budget and indie games, including Elden Ring, started to increase.
So much so that in some independent games that were sold for very low numbers, the rate of increase increased up to 800%. For example, the price of the game Goblins and Gnomes, which was sold for 2.45 TL during the Steam Summer Sale and whose normal price was around 16 TL, rose to 161.40 TL with a rate of 878%. Moreover, it is possible to encounter many more examples like this on the independent side.
On the other hand, the price of Elden Ring increased from 499 TL to 599 TL. Again, we see that there are price increases in productions such as Children of Morta and Frostpunk. Many games that cost around 40 TL have increased to 150 – 200 TL, and the games we bought for 5 – 6 TL have increased to around 100 – 120 TL.
It seems that we will encounter a new pricing on the currency side on Steam, and gradually many games seem to take their place in the market with new prices. Although it is estimated that the exchange rate has increased to 10 TL on Steam, it is possible to encounter very different numbers at the moment. Although some companies directly adjust the overseas price to 10 TL, we also see different prices. Of course, despite all these and rising prices, the fact that the games are still affordable at international prices is a very tragicomic situation.
