Our Take On The Turkish Gaming Market In 2023
The gaming market in Turkey feels the impact of the Lira's ongoing currency crisis, leading to reduced purchasing power for players compared to 2020. This makes gamers' decisions tougher; many now prefer subscription services like PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass and hunt for discounts on their favourite games. However, the global reach of Steam shouldn't be underestimated, especially given the considerable number of Turkish players.
Turkish localization holds immense value for the average Turkish gamer. Amid pricey AAA titles, local players gravitate towards quality indie games that offer excellent bang for their buck. In 2023, opting for Turkish localization aligns well with a high-volume, low-margin, long-tail sales strategy. This approach demands smart regional pricing, local PR support, and tasteful Turkish localization to spark word-of-mouth buzz and resonate with local gaming media.
At Wordarch Studio, we're ready to support you every step of the way. As we like to say "Steam favors products that are localized"* and Fortune favors the bold.
Doubles you.
* = 'Steam favors products that are localized' is a sentence directly taken from the Steamworks Documentation here. It's a nice, short guide by Steam for those considering localization.
