game prices on Steam
Join the #PolishOurPrices campaign and help lower Polish game prices on Steam.
Valve's price recommendation system on Steam uses an outdated PLN to EUR conversion rate.
We pay one of the highest prices the world!
Why prices are high?
Steam supports over 30 currencies and offers developers regional price recommendations so they don’t have to set every price manually. From October 2022 to March 2026, Valve’s recommended prices for Poland were extremely unfavorable, making PLN prices on Steam among the highest in the world. Valve promised to update these recommendations annually, yet but they made no changes for over three years, despite multiple request from the Polish gaming community. Their inaction resulted in #PolishOurPrices movement.
On March 27th, 2026, Valve finally updated the recommendation system — but even after the update, the default recommended prices for Poland remain among the highest. Only 4 currencies (GBP, EUR, NOK, ILS) have higher default recommendations than PLN. Countries far wealthier than Poland (Switzerland, USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand) have lower default recommended prices than Poland. To make matters worse, most developers and publishers still use these unfavorable recommendations because changing them requires manual adjustments. We need to act!
Current PLN to USD exchange rate:
~4.27 PLN
Based on Valve’s default recommendations,
this is the calculated value of 1 USD, used by the default suggested Polish prices.

#indiedev, are your wishlist conversion rates lower for Poland than for other similar countries?

Turns out Steam's regional pricing is cooked for Poland since 2022 and their price gets set to 2nd highest in the world, contradicting their purchasing power.
