Due to ongoing fluctuations of currency exchange rates, local taxes, and law ordinances, as well as hosting platforms' individual rules and policies, there can be some inconsistencies in the pricing tiers of IAP (in-game purchases) which may vary by platform (iOS, Android, Switch, Huawei, PlayStation, PC) and local regions. We are constantly working to keep our pricing consistent across all platforms and regions and we appreciate your understanding as slight changes may take effect.
In addition to that, the pricing may not be the same depending on the location you purchase from and due to currency exchange rate differences and tax on the platforms (iOS, Android, Switch, Huawei, PlayStation). You can find more information about Google’s and Apple’s policy regarding the exchange rate on the link below:

We’re looking into how these policy changes may or may not affect other platforms and regions. We’re also considering everyone’s feedback as we thoughtfully approach this for our community. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we adapt to these policy changes.

[Update: May 5th, 2023]
We wanted to let you know of some changes that may affect iOS players in certain countries. Apple announced that from May 9th, their price tier charts would be updated for in-app purchases sold in most countries outside the US.
It will result in prices changing for all in-app purchases in the App Store for these countries, including in-app purchases in Sky. In those cases, prices may decrease or increase depending on Apple’s updates. In the majority of countries, prices will decrease.
Once Apple applies the update, prices shown in Sky for players outside the US may temporarily be different from the prices shown in the App Store. In this case, the price shown in the App Store will be the correct one, so we especially encourage folks in the countries mentioned above to please confirm the actual price before making a purchase, since we will be unable to provide full or partial refunds.
Because this change will create a disparity between different platforms, once we’ve confirmed that Apple’s update has taken effect in the App Store, we will be revising prices on other platforms (Google Play, Huawei App Gallery, Nintendo Store, PlayStation Store) so that prices across all stores will be as even as possible.
We realize that this is unexpected news for the community, but we thank you for your patience while we work to adjust accordingly. We appreciate your support and hope you will continue to enjoy the world of Sky with us!
