With the latest change in pricing recommendations, games developed and published by Valve itself are already reflecting the higher price tag, most notably the VR-exclusive Half-Life: Alyx, which rose from RM95 to RM133. — Photo by Hamed Taha on Unsplash

Valve is now recommending up to a 42% price hike on video games for Steam users in Malaysia following an update to the platform's pricing tool.

According to Valve, the updated pricing is meant to serve as a guide to developers and publishers on the platform, who have already determined a suitable price for their game in US dollars but are unsure about other regions.
