I want to check out a game but when I view it from Steam, it says:

"This item is currently unavailable in your region"

Is there a way to go around this limitation? Not simply by using a proxy to view the website but to actually get the game and play it?

  • If you proxy your internet connection, and have a means of payment that is registered to an address in the target country, you should be able to buy the game. – TZHX May 03 '13 at 15:33

The simplest and safest way to get a game that is unavailable in your region is to have somebody else buy it for you, there is a myriad ways to wire the money to them. The only exceptions are some (but not all) games that are unavailable due to censorship in your country, so look out for that if you live in Germany, Australia or another country with similarly ridiculous censorship laws.

  1. Open Steam Client

  4. Change Your Region In Download Region You Can Bypass The Region Lock And Once You Installed It You Can Change The Region Again

  • -1 Incorrect | Your download region only determines where the files are downloaded from. Your store settings (which dictate which version of the game you get) is determined by your account settings, and all download regions cache the different versions of each game (if there are ROW and non-ROW versions). – aytimothy Jan 19 '16 at 20:15
