Quick answers
Game pricing in South Africa
Why are game prices different in South Africa?
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 ZAR accurate?
They are pulled directly from the Steam South Africa 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 ZAR to USD rate?
1 USD is currently about 16.43 ZAR, updated 13h ago.
