Valve has revealed plans to support 12 new currencies on Steam for 2014. The news comes from Valve’s Steam Dev Days Conference currently taking place in Seattle; a shot of a slide revealing the 12 new target currencies was posted on Twitter by Swedish-based Coffee Stain Studios game designer and PR manager Armin Ibrisagic (via Ausgamers ).

The slide reveals Steam is looking to support the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Indonesian rupiah, the Japanese yen, the Malaysian ringgit, the Mexican peso, the New Zealand dollar, the Norwegian krone, the Philippine peso, the Singapore dollar, the Thai baht, and the Ukrainian hryvnia.Currently supported currencies are limited to the Euro, the US dollar, the pound sterling, the Brazilian real, and the Russian ruble. Territories outside of these currently transact in USD, meaning customers must factor in the current exchange rate for their region’s currency against the greenback before purchasing.Whether this will ultimately benefit customers remains to be seen as, while local currency support should provide greater clarity at the time of purchase, it may result in hiked-up regional price points that could see users paying more in their local currency than they were in US dollars.Earlier today Valve announced its user base had reached 75 million , which is an increase of 15 per cent in just three months.
