A few days after the completion of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the first significant change regarding the company's games has been implemented. Unfortunately, it may not sit well with some players.

Several Activision games on Steam, a popular PC gaming store, have experienced a considerable increase in their prices, with some nearly tripling in value. The reason for this price increase is unclear, and it is uncertain whether similar changes will be applied to other platforms, such as PlayStation, Nintendo, or even Xbox itself.
The new prices for some of the games are as follows:
  • Call of Duty (2003) – from R$ 34.90 to R$ 91.90
  • Call of Duty 2 – from R$ 34.90 to R$ 91.90
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops – from R$ 79.99 to R$ 184.00
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops II – from R$ 109.90 to R$ 274.00
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) – from R$ 34.99 to R$ 91.90
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) – from R$ 249.00 to R$ 274.00
  • Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice – from R$ 199.00 to R$ 274.00
  • Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time – from R$ 179.00 to R$ 184.00
  • Spyro Reignited Trilogy – from R$ 150.00 to R$ 184.00
  • Prototype – from R$ 34.99 to R$ 91.90
  • Prototype 2 – from R$ 79.99 to R$ 184.00
At present, it is known that these price increases have only occurred in the Brazilian version of Steam.

Kinda weird it’s just on steam, and dono if this was already in place. Brasil has been hit with price hikes before, and games there have already been more expensive than here in the states. Maybe they need to buy steam so they can reduce the price 😆 games in general have gone up in the eu and australia that they cost more then what they go for in most other countries/territories

Should we mention the increasing import taxes and declining, and honestly terrible, currency in Brazil??

It is very weird and too coincidental just right after the acquisition 🧐

Looks to me like they're correcting some pricing irregularities in Brazil. COD Black Ops is $39.99 in the US, and based on exchange rates it was $15.84 in Brazil prior to the price increase. Now it is $36.43 - at least more aligned with US prices.

Same with Black Ops II - it is $59.99 in the US and after the price update it is $54.26 in Brazil, whereas before it was $21.76.

Maybe Brazil had the correct price and the US has had the wrong prices all along...
