Embark Studios has announced the introduction of regional pricing for its multiplayer shooter ARC Raiders. The changes will take effect on May 4.
Amid recent difficulties – after the release of the Riven Tides update, the game faced a wave of negative reviews – the developers decided to meet the audience in different countries halfway. The new pricing system is designed to make the purchase of the project fairer, taking into account the economic realities of specific regions.
As representatives of the studio reported on the official Discord server, some users will notice price changes today, and the implementation of the updated pricing policy will occur gradually. However, the exact figures for different regions have not yet been disclosed.
Regional pricing implies that the cost of the game is formed not by a simple currency conversion, but by taking into account the purchasing power and economic situation in a particular country. This approach is widely used in the industry and helps make projects more accessible to players around the world.
