    Price policy (Price of Games) in different regions.


    Hello there,

    As a customer I'm really wondering why prices have a really big difference in different regions? For example, price for a new AAA game is 59,99$ in U.S. 69,99€ (78$) in Germany, France, Italy, Slovakia and other countries which have Euro, 289,99 PLN (78$) in
    Poland, 54,99£ (71$) in United Kingdom, 79,99 CAD (59$) in Canada, 99,95 (74$) in Australia, 2990 (53$) in Russia and 1799-1899 CZK (72$-76$) in Czech Republic. You can say 10 dollars is not a big different and maybe you're right, but the differences are bigger,
    when in Microsoft store appear game sales. Today I was going to buy Sunset Overdrive, and I don't know why I must pay twice as much as Americans. As we all know USA is a big first world country, where an average salary is high, for example an average salary
    of a barman in Kansas city is 1667$ per month, but the MAXIMUM salary of a barman (if you work 16 hours per day without free weekend + tips and in the best bar in Prague) in a capital city of Czech republic is about 1500€. I don't ask you
    to lower prices in Europe etc. I just want prices here to be the same as in USA. I've heard that USA is democratic country just like we are, but the situation with prices makes me feel discriminated. I want you to tell me the reason why we pay more for digital

    Price question

    The prices in different currency regions are based on the fluctuation of the local market so that explains the difference in price.

    Hey there Bagirowski,

    Prices and promotions vary by region and are set by the publisher. So you'll want to reach out to the publisher of the game for a direct response. We don't have any further information that that unfortunately.

    Why minecraft price in my country is very exspensive?

    Hi, Nobunuki. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

    I'm sorry if that is the indicated price on the Microsoft Store of your region for the game, that is definitely the correct price.

    Each region has different prices and they don't base the price on one region only. There will be regions that have much lower prices and there will be regions that has much higher prices for games.

    Incorrect region while traveling, XBOX APP PC

    Hello Juan Covello,



    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    Due to differences in market pricing strategies in different regions, game prices may vary from region to region based on local economic conditions, exchange rates, and regional policies. Although your Microsoft account is displayed with the country or region set to Argentina, in practice, the Argentina region has unique rules and restrictions. Specifically, users in Argentina will generally only be able to sign in and purchase games from the local Xbox Store in Argentina.



    This is because the Argentine market is subject to specific tax policies and exchange rate fluctuations, which tend to make game prices in Argentina different from other regions. To ensure fair pricing and compliance with local laws, Microsoft restricts purchases and use of the Services to the region in which the user is registered based on the region information in the account. As a result, you may not be able to purchase Argentine-priced games from non-Argentine stores even if you have another country or region set up in your Microsoft account.



    This regional restriction is intended to avoid cross-region purchases and arbitrage, while protecting consumers and complying with the legal requirements of each country. If you have a need to purchase games from other regions, you may want to consider adjusting your account region or using a payment method that meets the standards of that region.



    Please feel free contact me if you need more help.



    Best regards
