Exciting news! Valve have announced regional pricing for the level one Battle Pass that just dropped today!
Battle Pass release is one of the most exciting times in the Dota 2 calendar. And this time is no different.
In the blog post announcing the new International Battle Pass we got some new key information, including regional pricing, some additional features, and a Dota Plus update.
Battle Pass More Affordable Across the Globe
Affordability is always key when new products and services come out. Especially in the video game industry. Increasing affordability helps players who may not have as much money to spend as others get some enjoyment out of these kinds of special events. In order to facilitate that, Dota will be introducing regional pricing for the level one Battle Pass!
Battle Pass regional pricing essentially tailors the currency values to each region of the world. Thus, it makes prices comparable to the U.S. price in other places in the world. As mentioned in the blog post, Dota is a global game and has one of the biggest international fan bases in esports. Making the Battle Pass more affordable to people around the world is nothing but a net benefit to so many people who love this game.
