After originally being revealed back at the Steam Dev Days conference in January 2014, Valve have finally elaborated on the wide selection of international currencies coming to Steam in the near future. In a new post to the Steamworks community group, it has been announced 12 new currencies will be added to the Steam Store alongside the recently introduced Yen, which was added back in late August. The full list of upcoming and recently released international currencies is as follows: Japanese Yen (JPY) – Released on 8/19/2014 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) – Expected to release mid-September Malaysian Ringit (MYR) – Expected to release mid-September Philippine Peso (PHP) – Expected to release mid-September Singapore Dollar (SGD) – Expected to release mid-September Thai Baht (THB) – Expected to release mid-September Australian Dollar (AUD) – Expected to release mid-September New Zealand Dollar (NZD) – Expected to release mid-September Canadian Dollar (CAD) – Expected to release early-October Norwegian Krone (NOK) – Expected to release early-October South Korean Won (KRW) – Expected to release late-October Turkish Lira (TRY) – Expected to release late-October Mexican Peso (MXN) – Expected to release late-October This is definitely good news for any Steam users living in the affected countries, as Steam should no longer default to foreign currencies (such as the United States Dollar, the Euro, or the Great British Pound), making it far easier to work out how much a product on the storefront is worth in local currency. The announcement page, available to anyone with a Steamworks account, also includes important information game developers should definitely check out, including how to ensure your product is available for purchase in the listed regions and how to modify in-game micro-transactions to reflect these new, upcoming changes.
