Recent changes have restricted the use of PayPal for Steam purchases in several currencies. Specifically, PayPal transactions are now unavailable for currencies other than EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD, and USD. Valve acknowledged that this situation arose after PayPal’s acquiring bank ceased processing payments for Steam. While Valve hopes to reinstate PayPal for other currencies, the timeline remains unclear. Customers are encouraged to use alternative payment methods or Steam Wallet codes while this issue persists.
In early July 2025, PayPal notified Valve that their acquiring bank for payment transactions in certain currencies was immediately terminating the processing of any transactions related to Steam.
This affects Steam purchases using PayPal in currencies other than EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD and USD.
Valve further confirmed to RPS that this is regarding content on Steam related to what we've previously commented on surrounding Mastercard.
We hope to offer PayPal as an option for these currencies in the future but the timeline is uncertain.
