How can I change the currency used when making in-game purchases?

Updated November 11, 2024

The currency can be changed via your Google Play/ Apple ID account settings, by changing your country or region. Please see below for instructions.

Play Store

1. Open the Play Store on your device and tap your profile icon (top right corner).

2. Go to settings > general > account and device preferences > country and profiles.

3. Select the country registered to your card. 

If you do not, see an option for that country, you will need to add the payment method associated with it. You can only change the country associated with your account once per year.

For more information visit the Google Play help page here.

iOS

1. Go to your device's settings and tap your name.

2. Tap media and purchases > view account > country/ region.

3. Tap change country or region and select the country you wish to use (this must match the billing address registered to your payment method).

4. Review and accept the T&Cs.

5. Select the payment method associated with the selected country.  

6. Enter your payment information and tap next.

Before changing the country/region on your account, you will need to spend any remaining store credit. Subscriptions will be canceled upon changing the country/region. 

For more information visit the Apple support page here.

Steam

To change the currency in Steam, follow these steps: 

1. Open Steam and log into your account if you aren’t already signed in.

2. Navigate to "Account details":

  • Click on your account name in the top-right corner of the screen.
  • From the drop-down menu, select "Account details."

 3. Update your store region:

  • Scroll to the "Store and Purchase History" section and click on "Update store country."

4. Select your new country:

  • Choose the country associated with the currency you want to use.
  • You’ll need to make a purchase from a payment method that’s billed to an address in the selected country for the currency change to take effect.

5. Complete a purchase in the new currency:

  • The next purchase you make in this new country setting will update your account’s currency.

Note: Steam restricts frequent region changes, and currency changes should align with your actual location and payment method.
