Wild Rift regional prices to change in September as bonus currency doubled

Riot Games confirms tweaking of its Wild Rift pricing policy in certain regions starting September 8. The devs periodically evaluate the global pricing of the game, and this is the second time this year the organization has come up with such a restructuring.

Riot's corporate communications director, Joe “Smileyjoe” Hixson, discussed the various regional pricing changes in his recent dev blog. He also detailed how the team makes adjustments to factor in currency fluctuations, taxation, and regional monetary discrepancies.

The target regions for the upcoming Wild Rift pricing cycle are Europe, Brazil, Latin America, and Russia. Latin American countries, including Brazil, are set to receive a hike in prices for tax changes and exchange rates. Meanwhile, Europe will see lowered prices due to decreased exchange rates.
