Prices in China: common questions
Is China a cheap country for subscriptions and games?
In point-in-time snapshots (7 November 2026 subscriptions, 26 October 2026 titles), 36 of the 40 things we price in China land below the US price, with the biggest gap at 74%.
Can I buy at China prices from another country?
Often, with an extra step. Subscriptions usually bill by your account's country, so the cheap price wants a payment method registered there (a regional gift card is the standard workaround); game stores usually want a free account for that region first. A VPN helps you sign up; each row's own page explains its exact step.
Are these prices live?
No, these are free point-in-time snapshots (7 November 2026 subscriptions, 26 October 2026 titles). Prices and regional sales move; run a live check in the app for the current figures.
Landed cost = the local price converted at the European Central Bank reference rate (or a market rate for currencies the ECB does not publish), plus an estimated ~2% card foreign-transaction fee, with local tax noted on each item's own page. Fixed snapshot; see the methodology and FAQ.
