Steam Game Claiming to Be Most Expensive Is Actually Third Most Expensive
The game's store page itself questions whether its $999.99 price tag is justified, but the claim of being the most expensive on the platform is factually incorrect, with two pricier titles already on Steam.
Key Facts
- Worth It Studio released 'Congratulations On Your Purchase' on Steam on May 29, 2026, priced at 158,500 yen.
- The game's store page claims it is 'the most expensive on Steam,' but sorting by highest price shows it in third place.
- The most expensive Steam title is 'MolCollabo v2' at 275,000 yen, which is academic software, not a game.
- The second most expensive is 'Action: Vengeance,' an FPS priced at 197,997 yen.
- A previously priced game 'The Hidden and Unknown' at about 220,000 yen is no longer for sale.

The Steam store page describes it as a game where you are congratulated by countless people and can only write on a wall, and it claims to be 'the most expensive on Steam.' The store page also states, 'The question of whether this experience is worth $999.99 (international price) is philosophically unanswerable. Value is constructed, and price is arbitrary.'
