Turkey is one of the two or three countries that come up in almost every conversation about cheap PlayStation Store regions - and for AAA games, the gap to the US price is often 20-30%, sometimes more. That’s not a rounding error, but it’s also not automatic for every title, and it’s worth understanding why before you plan a region switch around it.
Why Turkey specifically
Sony prices the Turkish store in lira, and the lira has lost value against the dollar steadily for years. Sony doesn’t repeg regional prices to the dollar every time the exchange rate moves - it revises lira prices periodically, not continuously - so the store price in lira consistently lags behind where a 1:1 dollar conversion would put it. The result is a gap that’s been persistent for years, not a one-off promotion.
| 🇺🇸 Gran Turismo 7 (US) | $69.99 | |
| 🇹🇷 Gran Turismo 7 (Turkey) | $42.03 | -40% |
| 🇺🇸 STAR WARS: Galactic Racer (US) | $59.99 | |
| 🇹🇷 STAR WARS: Galactic Racer (Turkey) | $31.52 | -47% |
The gap isn’t fixed - check the game, not the country
Because Sony updates Turkish pricing on its own schedule rather than automatically, the exact discount varies release to release and can shift over time even for the same game.
Hogwarts Legacy is the counter-example worth keeping in mind: Turkey’s price for it runs only about 5% below the US price, nowhere near the 20-30% range above. A title priced right after a lira devaluation might show a bigger gap than one priced a few months later, once Turkish pricing has been revised closer to “normal.”
Treat Turkey as a strong candidate, not a guaranteed discount - the only way to know the real number for a specific game is to check it.
What to check before using the Turkish store
Payment method is the first thing to verify - not every card or wallet works on the Turkish store, and some purchases require a payment method actually issued in Turkey. Account region also matters for anything ongoing (subscriptions, pre-orders), since it ties to the region at time of purchase, not just the moment of checkout. None of this is unique to Turkey - it’s the same checklist for any region switch - but Turkey comes up often enough that it’s worth having the checklist ready specifically for it.
Comparing Turkey against the rest, without opening five tabs
PS Prices Hub shows the Turkish price alongside every other enabled region right on the product page, converted to your currency, so you can see in one glance whether Turkey is actually the best deal for a specific title this week - or whether Ukraine, Argentina, or India happens to be cheaper for that one. For a quick look before installing anything, our price comparison table also tracks a handful of popular games across regions, Turkey included.
The bigger picture
Turkey’s reputation as a cheap PSN region is earned, but it’s not universal - some games have a smaller gap than others, and the ranking between “cheap” regions shifts.
