The average price in nine countries will rise, while the average price in one country will reduce.
Riot Games is changing their regional pricing for VALORANT. The corporation announced today that it will increase expenditures in nine countries while reducing costs in one.
Riot has chosen to assess its global price and make specific adjustments beginning September 8 due to “currency fluctuations, taxation, and regional disparities.” For a limited time only, the firm will double the bonus currency granted to gamers who purchase VP bundles to make up for the price increase.
Brazil, Latin America, Russia, and Turkey will all witness a six to seventeen percent increase in average prices due to exchange rates and tax adjustments. The average price in Europe, on the other hand, will drop by 5% for countries that utilize the EUR, GBP, and HUF currencies. This adjustment does not appear to have an impact on North America.
The entire breakdown of regional price adjustments may be found here.
Brazil: 15 percent average price increase
Colombia: 11 percent average price increase
Costa Rica: 16 percent average price increase
Mexico: 17 percent average price increase
Chile: 16 percent average price increase
