Hello Scavs,

I have a question regarding the upgrading of the game while being in a different country. I couldn't find any answers on the forums so I hope to find some help here.

To the issue:

I live in Italy so when I bought the game I got the standard EU version, and payed a 22% VAT fee as well. I'm looking forward to upgrade from standard to EOD but the problem is, I am currently in the US and I am not sure if upgrading from here will have issues: from what I understand the US version of the game has a different price and does not work if launched in EU countries. To get to the point, I want to know if upgrading a EU version of the game while being in the US will change its "region lock", because I will eventually go back to Italy and don't want to pay extra fees to convert the game back to EU version.

In any case, the pricing I get on the website right now is in euros and seems to be European, 56.25€. The only thing that changes is the VAT fee, which is 0% (in Italy it's 22%). I don't know if it's important but I would pay with an Italian PayPal account.

Thanks!

tl;dr

Bought the standard game in Italy and want to upgrade to EOD while being in the US. Will the upgrade change the region lock of the game?

Hello. The EU version can be launched anywhere on Earth. Moreover, as you already have the EU version, you can only upgrade to the EU version, and it will be charged in Euro. So you can just buy the upgrade without any problems and play as before - from anywhere in the world.
