That’s often three times as many units sold in Brazil (which, as we said, has 5x the population.) And it looks like it’s because of this Steam trick: But in looking at some newly published games we have access to, we only see particularly suspicious trends in Argentina.įor example, we’re regularly seeing games with low thousands of units sold in Argentina - as high as 3-4% of lifetime totals. It seems like Horizon Chase Turbo got a bit more aggressive on all of its lower-priced territories. And spotted something related - if you look at Steam default ‘suggested’ country pricing, as shown here on SteamDB, Argentina is the cheapest, at only 13% of U.S. And lo and behold, one of the first mentioned changes was. Then we noticed popular racing game Horizon Chase Turbo making a few country-specific price adjustments. But its total population of 44 million - compared to say, Brazil’s population of 210 million - wouldn’t really imply it should be the leading South American country by unit sales. (As much as 6-7% of his total sales!)įor those paying attention, Argentina is a perfectly nice country. So, this mini-investigation started after a developer GameDiscoverCo knows started asking questions about his Steam game’s sales in Argentina. Much obliged.) Argentina, Steam game sales, and you!
