Items in Dota 2 and CS2 have become more expensive due to the ruble exchange rate update on Steam

On the night of August 19, Valve increased the ruble exchange rate on Steam from ₽76 to ₽85 per dollar. This led to an increase in prices for many goods in Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2. Content maker Dmitry finargot Plyusnin drew attention to the update.

As a result of the changes, Dota Plus now costs ₽339 instead of ₽305, Arcana quality items are now sold for ₽2,980 instead of ₽2,680, and the most expensive caster bundles for The International 2026 are now sold for ₽1,700 instead of ₽1,530. At the same time, team sets have not increased in price.

This is the second adjustment of the ruble exchange rate in 2026. In February, Valve, on the contrary, lowered the ruble exchange rate, which made many goods cheaper. You can read more about the situation in the material.
