Valorant Price Changes
Mike from ValorLeaks informed that due to “currency fluctuations, taxation, and regional discrepancies,” Riot has decided to evaluate its global pricing and make specific adjustments starting Sept. 8. Change in pricing is only applicable to some countries only due to the sudden changes in tax price and exchange rate. Riot Games stated, “Periodically Riot evaluates global pricing and makes adjustments to account for changes in currency fluctuations, taxation, and regional discrepancies.
- 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
- Uruguay: 17 percent average price increase
- Peru: 15 percent average price increase
- Russia: Six percent average price increase
- Turkey: 17 percent average price increase
- Europe (for EUR, GBP & HUF currencies only): Five percent average price decrease
As a compromise, and to compensate for the price hike, the company will double the bonus currency offered to players who purchase VP bundles for a limited time only. An important region, North America doesn’t appear to be affected by this change. Riot Games stated, “Periodically Riot evaluates global pricing and makes adjustments to account for changes in currency fluctuations, taxation, and regional discrepancies. These changes can be both increases or decreases.”
“This year, we’re making changes to pricing in Europe, Brazil, Latin America, and Russia. Below you’ll find the changes that will take effect on September 8th in League of Legends: Wild Rift.”
