France guide
Game Atlas for players in France
The same twelve games, the same four bearings, read from France. Prices on the chart are UK store prices in pounds; this guide tells you where to see the euro price, how people in France usually pay, and which rules apply instead of the UK ones.
Le Game Atlas est publié en anglais. Cette page est le guide pour les joueurs en France.
Nothing on the chart is a French price. Convert the pounds for a rough idea, then check the French store before you pay.

Reading the chart from France
Every entry quotes UK pounds. The six free games cost nothing to install in France; their shops price in euros. For the paid games, each store sets a euro price on the French storefront, usually close to the UK figure. PEGI ratings are used in France exactly as quoted on the chart.
Paying and protection in France
Cards and PayPal are accepted everywhere on the chart, and prepaid cards are widely sold. The droit de rétractation gives you 14 days on online purchases, but for digital content it ends when the download starts, provided you consented to that at checkout; after that the store's refund policy applies. Chargeback through your bank remains available for goods that never arrive.
Spending limits
The spending-limits page applies unchanged in France: the same platform controls, priced in euros.
