Game Atlas for players in Switzerland
The same twelve games, the same four bearings, read from Switzerland. Prices on the chart are UK store prices in pounds; this guide tells you where to see the Swiss franc price, how people in Switzerland usually pay, and which rules apply instead of the UK ones.

Nothing on the chart is a Swiss price. Convert the pounds for a rough idea, then check the Swiss store before you pay; Swiss storefront prices are set separately and are often higher than the euro-zone ones.

Reading the chart from Switzerland
Every entry quotes UK pounds. The six free games cost nothing to install in Switzerland too; their shops price in francs on the Swiss storefronts. For the paid games, each store sets its own franc price. Steam, PlayStation and Nintendo all run separate Swiss stores, and the difference from the UK figure can be noticeable, so check before you buy.
Paying and protection in Switzerland
Cards and PayPal are accepted everywhere on the chart; TWINT and PostFinance work on the Swiss PlayStation, Nintendo and Steam stores and for prepaid cards. Switzerland has no statutory cooling-off period for online purchases, so the store's refund policy is the whole safety net: Steam's 14 days and under two hours played, PlayStation's and Xbox's 14 days if the download has not started, and very little from Nintendo. Chargeback through your card issuer remains available for goods not delivered.
Spending limits
The spending-limits page applies unchanged: the platform controls are the same on Swiss accounts, only the currency differs.
