Where can Australians buy R18+ PC games without a credit card? Pretty much everywhere but Steam
Valve's new age verification policy for R18+ PC games on Steam in Australia requires users to provide a credit card, a method not commonly used by Australians. This has caused frustration among players and confusion for banks, as alternative verification methods have not been offered. Players are advised to purchase games from third-party sellers like Fanatical and Green Man Gaming, though not all R18+ titles are available there.
