Interestingly, Steam is now offering a hefty price drop for Pakistani gamers on some of the games. The discount is also available for other countries in the South Asian region including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

Steam is offering a discount on a total of 12 games right now and it may continue to add more games to the list. Right now, following games are on sale. We will keep updating the list if we find more games on sale.

In addition to the discount, Steam is also adding support for 10 new currencies and accepting payments from countries of the South Asian region and Pakistan is included in this region.
