About this game
BioShock is a genre-defining first-person shooter set in the hauntingly beautiful underwater city of Rapture, a utopia gone terribly wrong. Wield a complete arsenal from revolvers to grenade launchers while genetically modifying your DNA with injectable plasmids that grant superhuman powers. Blast electrical currents into water to electrocute enemies, freeze them solid and shatter them, or set swarms of insects upon them with a wave of your hand. With its unforgettable setting, deeply atmospheric storytelling, and revolutionary blend of shooting and supernatural abilities, BioShock redefined what a first-person shooter could be.

Steam uses a regional pricing model, which means BioShock™ can cost significantly more or less depending on where you buy it. Publishers set different prices for each country based on local purchasing power — regions like Turkey, Argentina, and India typically have much lower prices than Western Europe or North America. Currency exchange rates, local taxes, and market competition also play a role. This is why BioShock™ can cost $1.37 in one country and $6.10 in another. Comparing prices across all regions helps you find the best deal available.
We pull BioShock™ prices directly from Steam's store API for each of the 66 regions we track. Every price is converted to a common currency using live exchange rates so you can make a fair comparison. The table above ranks every region from cheapest to most expensive, showing the local price, the converted price, and the exact percentage you'd save compared to the most expensive region. Prices are updated regularly to reflect sales, discounts, and currency fluctuations.
