I live in Ukraine, and it costs $50 on Steam, but $150 on the website. So, there are no regional prices on the website, so if I buy it, it's only available on Steam for a lower price? Or is there a way to lower the regional price on the website? And if I want to upgrade to the next version later, can I do so on Steam? Also, are all Vegas Pro features available on Steam?

On Vegas Pro's website, click on the globe icon in the header and that will show you the regional options for purchasing Vegas Pro:

As there is no specific listing for Ukraine, presumably the 'International' option would be the appropriate selection; however, if that doesn't work, try 'United States'. MAGIX currently has Black Friday pricing so that is very likely to be the best price that you are going to get from MAGIX on a retail sale.

If you were to select an EU country for pricing (even though Ukraine is not currently an EEC member as far as I know), you may find that the price is increased by Europe's VAT/TVA taxes.

Re Steam, you will need to closely compare Steam's VP23 offering with that from MAGIX. For example, does Steam's version offer the Hub Starter Pack and the ability to purchase download Refills as comes with VP23 from MAGIX? But if you don't need Hub features at all, then the Hub wouldn't be an issue.

Vegas Pro from MAGIX allows two concurrent activations on different computers whereas my understanding is that Steam only allows one activation (that used to be the case anyway); and buying from Steam means that you are in the 'Steam Universe' reliant on Steam for updates and upgrading to new versions (if offered). Having a Steam version does not entitle you to MAGIX upgrade pricing if you wanted to move from Steam over to MAGIX's Vegas Pro versions.

Also, please double-check that you are Steam's genuine website - looking on Steam locally, their Vegas Pro 23 offer is much more expensive that that offered direct from MAGIX. And even Steam's Vegas Pro 18 offer is higher than MAGIX's current Black Friday Vegas Pro 23 offer.

I cannot find the $50 offer on Steam's website. We are of course referring to US$.

Steam shows me NZ$218 for VP23 Steam Edition. That's roughly US$120, which is cheaper than the Vegas website, but nowhere near $50.

Я не могу найти предложение за 50 долларов на сайте Steam. Конечно, речь идет о долларах США.

Steam показывает мне 218 новозеландских долларов за VP23 Steam Edition. Это примерно 120 долларов США, что дешевле, чем на сайте Vegas, но далеко не 50 долларов.


Yes, in Steam the game costs 2,775 hryvnias in dollars 65.68

@Jtopc Is this offer on the actual Steam website or on a "third-party marketplace"?

Edit (from Google Chrome AI)

"Yes, VEGAS Pro is available on Steam for customers in Ukraine, often with regional pricing that makes it more affordable than purchasing directly from the official website. 

Ukrainian users have reported being able to purchase and use various Steam editions of the software, including VEGAS Pro 22. The Steam platform generally allows for regional pricing, meaning the price in Ukrainian Hryvnia (₴) can be significantly lower than the standard US dollar price, potentially offering a better value for Ukrainian customers. 

However, there are a few important considerations for Ukrainian customers:

Regional Pricing: Prices on Steam are dynamic and can be substantially different based on your location. Users in Ukraine have mentioned seeing prices around $50 USD equivalent on Steam, versus $150+ USD on the official website.

Feature Differences: The Steam editions might have some differences from the versions purchased directly from the VEGAS Creative Software website. For example, cloud-based features and certain cognitive services may not be included in the Steam version and might require a separate 365 subscription from the official site.

Upgrades: Upgrading to newer versions on Steam requires purchasing upgrade bundles available within the Steam store, rather than using a serial number on the MAGIX website.

Payment & Sanctions: While the software itself is available, general banking sanctions related to the conflict have sometimes impacted developers' ability to receive payments via Steam in Ukraine (and Russia), but this generally affects developers, not the end-users buying the software. Customers should be able to purchase using available Steam payment methods. 

In summary, Ukrainian customers can purchase VEGAS Pro on Steam, benefit from regional pricing, and receive a perpetual license for that version of the software."
