Steam uses a regional pricing model, which means Prison Architect 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 Prison Architect can cost $16.76 in one country and $42.86 in another. Comparing prices across all regions helps you find the best deal available.
