“Steam started blocking Australian users from viewing or buying 18+ rated games on September 9, 2026, unless they attach a valid credit card to their account. Valve’s rollout affects hundreds of mature-rated titles, including Cyberpunk 2077 and Doom Eternal, and it doesn’t matter whether the account is brand new or fifteen years old with a library full of paid-for adult games. Without a credit card on file, those store pages, search results, and even home-page recommendations simply disappear.”
Yeah it bases it on what currency you pay with it looks like, so it will be hell to circumvent. I dont even know how you can do that.
You can technically change the region of your steam account but it’s not something you can do often or easily. They lock you into a region to prevent you from country hopping to get cheaper prices on games that implement region pricing.
