The studio has announced the first act, 'Kokura,' and dropped a story trailer, with the release set for January 15 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam. If you plan to pick it up at launch, now is the time to sort out your pre-order and payment method — foreign stores still have their own rules for cards issued outside the region.

Where to Buy: Platforms and Regional Pricing

The game will appear in three main digital stores:

  • Steam — PC version. Your account region determines the currency and price; payment goes through Steam Wallet or directly by card.
  • PlayStation Store — PS5 version. Price depends on your account region (US, EU, Turkey, Ukraine, etc.).
  • Microsoft Store / Xbox — Xbox Series X|S version. Account region also affects the price.

Exact prices were not disclosed at the time of publication — check the current rate in your chosen store. Regional prices can differ significantly, but keep in mind: changing your account region on Steam or PSN is restricted by platform rules and may lead to a ban.

Do Stores Accept Cards from Foreign Issuers?

Steam, PlayStation Store, and Microsoft Store accept Visa and Mastercard issued outside the account's country, but with caveats:

  • Steam — friendly to foreign cards but may request address verification (AVS) on your first payment. 3-D Secure is supported only by some issuing banks.
  • PlayStation Store — requires the card's country to match the account's country. A foreign card with a mismatched region is often declined.
  • Microsoft Store — same: card and account regions must match, otherwise the payment won't go through.

VirtCardPay virtual cards help you get around the 'card not from the region' restriction: you can issue a card in the required currency and link it to an account in the corresponding region.

How to Pay with a Virtual Card: Step by Step

  1. Choose the store and account region. For Steam, the wallet region is enough; for consoles, the account country must match the card's issuing country.
  2. Issue a virtual card in the required currency (USD, EUR, etc.) in your VirtCardPay dashboard.
  3. Top up with a buffer: the game price + possible conversion fee (usually 1–3%) + $1–2 for card verification.
  4. In the store, select 'Add payment method' and enter your card details. On Steam, you can pay for the purchase directly without saving the card.
  5. Confirm the payment via 3-D Secure if your issuing bank supports it. The code will arrive in the app or by email.
  6. After a successful payment, check that the game appears in your library. Pre-orders are charged immediately or on release day, depending on the store.

How Much to Keep on the Card and When You'll Be Charged

With pre-orders on Steam and Microsoft Store, funds are usually charged immediately. PlayStation Store may charge a few days before release. Keep 10–15% extra on the card for conversion and possible exchange rate fluctuations. If your card is in USD but the price is in EUR, the issuing bank will convert at its own rate.

What to Do If the Payment Is Declined

  • Check that the card and account regions match (especially for PSN and Xbox).
  • Make sure the card has enough funds including pre-authorization — some stores hold $1–2 for verification.
  • Try a different browser or turn off your VPN: a mismatch between IP address and account region often causes a decline.
  • If the card won't go through on PlayStation Store, buy a PSN gift card for the correct region and redeem it on your account — a reliable fallback.
  • For Steam, topping up your wallet with Steam gift cards from the same region works too.

Delivery and Regional Restrictions

These are digital copies, so no physical delivery is needed. However, activating keys from retail stores may require a region that matches the key. Only buy keys from official sellers.

FAQ

Can I pay for the game with a VirtCardPay card if my Steam account is in another region?
Yes, Steam accepts foreign cards, but address verification may be required on your first payment. Make sure the card's country matches the wallet region.

Why is PlayStation Store declining my virtual card?
Most likely, the card's region doesn't match the account's country. Issue a card in the account region's currency or use a PSN gift card.

When will I be charged for the pre-order?
On Steam and Microsoft Store — immediately; on PlayStation Store — a few days before the January 15 release. Keep enough funds on the card with a buffer.
