It was revealed well over a year ago that Australian pricing had been made available for developers in Steam, but they finally announced today at the Game Connect Asia Pacific Conference (taking place in Melbourne) that customer facing support for Australian dollars will arrive mid November.
As stated in September last year, developers have been able to select Australian Dollars as a currency but this would be converted to US dollars in the customer facing storefront of Steam.
It’s definitely going to change how Australian gamers purchase games on Steam in terms of having a much easier way to see how much they’re spending.
Kristian Miller and @jenkmeister have lots of info about what's happening with @steam_games including some big news! The store will have AUD very soon! #GCAP18#MIGW18 pic.twitter.com/uJhQnG8957
