Big Pharma: Switch vs Steam prices
Big Pharma is currently cheaper on the Nintendo Switch eShop than on Steam in 36 of the 43 countries where we can compare both stores: the biggest gap is Switzerland, where the Switch version costs about $5.08 against $33.85 on Steam, a saving of roughly $28.77.
Why the gap? Nintendo and Steam price the same game independently. Each eShop sets its own price in local currency for its country, while Steam sells through regional currency zones with their own price points. Exchange rates move daily, so two sticker prices that match on paper can differ in real terms. Both stores are also region-locked: you generally buy from the store your account belongs to, which is why a cheaper region usually needs that region's gift card or wallet top-up. All Switch-vs-Steam figures on this page are USD conversions taken when prices were last checked.

How regional eShop pricing works for Big Pharma

We also compare the current Steam price for this game so you can see whether the PC version on Steam is cheaper than any eShop region right now.
All prices on this page are converted from the original local currency to your selected display currency using daily exchange rates. The regular price (struck through) shows the country's standard eShop price; the highlighted sale price is what Nintendo is charging today. Discount badges in green mark deals of 50% or more.
