Next week Sony is releasing the Spider-Man Remastered version for the PC (and we will review the game as we did with God of War at launch) and for players who pre-ordered the game on the Steam platform, we have bad news.

You paid more.



The Valve company released a statement on the Steam blog that the price of the game as it appeared for pre-purchase during the last few weeks will be priced at a higher price than intended in several countries,

Israel among them

.

This means that all players who pre-purchased the game on the platform paid more than they were supposed to.

I ordered Spider-Man and paid a high price... what do we do?

In a statement, Valve addresses all players in the countries of Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, and England, and stated that the price of the game when purchased in advance in sets was higher than the standard in the rest of the world, but they were corrected accordingly.

The players will have to cancel their purchase and buy the game again at the updated price - NIS 239

($70, as it costs on PlayStation 5).



The price of Spider-Man before the repair increased by around NIS 330, and this is a significant discount for the players.

This is not the first time that the Israeli player pays more on a set platform, and prices of games that cost 60 dollars abroad (200 shekels) had to pay about 300 shekels for games like Death Stranding or Horizon Zero Dawn when they were launched for the personal computer on sets.



The prices of Call of Duty also jumped when they returned to the Steam platform this year, and while the price of the special version of the game abroad is 100 dollars (337 NIS), in Israel the price reached 510 NIS. The prices in sets for every region of the world are the distributors - so the question of "why the Israeli consumer pays more" had to be directed to them.
