Quick answers
Game pricing in Japan
Why are game prices different in Japan?
Steam and most publishers set a separate price for each region rather than converting from US dollars, adjusting for local purchasing power. That is why the same game can cost a fraction of the US price in one country and more in another.
Are these prices in JPY accurate?
They are pulled directly from the Steam Japan storefront every 24 hours. The timestamp on each game page shows the last check.
Can I buy from a cheaper region using a VPN?
No — it breaks the Steam Subscriber Agreement and accounts have been locked for it. These figures are published so you know the real local price, not as a workaround.
What is the current JPY to USD rate?
1 USD is currently about 158.44 JPY, updated 13h ago.
