XCOM 2’s price in Australia much higher than US or UK

XCOM 2 has been subject to a delay, but the pre-orders are live already and it seems that of all the places getting the game, Australia is once again subject to prices that are much higher than elsewhere.

 

The pre-order comes with a bonus in the form of the Resistance Warrior Pack that contains a number of soldier customisation options as well as a survivor of the previous game’s war turning up in the barracks as a recruit. The Steam US store has this priced at $59.99 and the UK one at £39.99. Australians however are seeing a price of $127.45 – which is the equivalent of 89.95 US dollars or £58.27. Ouch.

 

While this is quite the price hike, this isn’t the first time that Australia has seen much higher prices for digital games even before the introduction of a new tax on ‘intangible’ digital imports in the country’s 2015 budget pushed them even higher.
