How to Read the Two Switch Columns
The Switch 🇺🇸 price is what you'd pay from your local eShop — directly comparable to your Steam price. The Switch (cheapest) price is the best deal across all 48 regions; you can switch your Nintendo account to that region to buy (Steam doesn't let you do that, so the Steam column stays in your country). When Steam doesn't price your country directly (e.g. small EU markets), I show the Steam EU or US fallback — marked “via XX”.
Why Switch Prices Beat Steam in Some Regions
Nintendo and Valve price the same game in two completely different ways, and that mismatch is what this page exists to exploit. Nintendo sets an eShop price per country: 48 separate decisions, made in local currency, with no obligation to track any exchange rate. Valve prices Steam by currency zone and then locks your store region to the payment country you signed up with. So when a currency slides, the Nintendo price in that country often stays where it was in local terms while the Steam price gets re-pegged, and the same title ends up costing a fraction of its Steam price on the eShop.
The part that makes this actionable is the asymmetry. A Nintendo Account’s country can be changed, and Switch games are region-free, so a game bought from a cheaper eShop plays on any console. A Steam account cannot do the equivalent. That is why the Steam column here always stays pinned to your own country while the Switch side gets two: your local eShop price, and the cheapest of all 48.
Price is not the only input. The Steam version usually runs at a higher framerate and takes mods; the Switch version is portable and the licence follows the account rather than the machine. I would only chase an eShop price when the gap is big enough to outweigh that, which is why the table sorts by savings and puts the widest gaps at the top.
Switch vs Steam Questions
Are Nintendo Switch games cheaper than Steam?
Sometimes, and it depends far more on the region than on the game. Nintendo sets an eShop price per country rather than converting one base price, so the same Switch title can undercut its Steam price in one storefront and cost more in another. This page lists every Switch game currently on sale for less than Steam, refreshed daily.
How do I check whether a game is cheaper on Steam or Switch?
Pick your Steam region in the filter above. The table then puts three prices side by side: the Switch price in your country, the cheapest Switch price across all 48 eShop regions, and your Steam price. If either Switch figure is lower, that game is cheaper on Switch for you today.
Can I buy a Switch game from a cheaper country?
Yes. A Nintendo Account's country can be changed, and Switch games are region-free, so a title bought in one region plays on any console. Steam does not allow the equivalent — its store region is tied to your payment country — which is why the Steam column here stays in your own country.
Why are all the prices shown in USD?
Every price is converted to USD so that 48 currencies can be ranked against each other in one table. Each game's own page shows the local currency and amount. Conversion uses the daily rate, so a small rounding gap against your checkout total is normal.
Is the Switch version or the Steam version the better buy?
Price is one input of several. The Steam build usually runs at a higher framerate and supports mods; the Switch build is portable and the licence follows your account rather than the machine. I would only switch platforms for the price when the gap is wide, and the table sorts by savings so the widest gaps sit at the top.
