Horizon Zero Dawn PC pre-orders launched last week for the tantalizing price of $ 32.99 (£ 32.99), however the in-game store price has now increased exponentially thanks to VPN users trying to buy the game from different regions.
If you check out the Steam store listing for the game today, you’ll notice that the price is now $ 39.99, representing a 21.22% increase. Apparently, this has been caused by VPN users, who can access stores in other countries and buy the game for much cheaper due to favorable exchange rates.
In a Reddit post, one user detailed that the Horizon Zero Dawn price for PC was originally 539 pesos in Argentina, which is around $ 7. Unfortunately, the price has now increased to 2,100 pesos, resulting in a huge increase of 288.9%.
