I'm moving to the U.S. in a few months; what will happen to the games in my Indian Steam library?

Everything that's in my Steam library has been purchased from the Indian Steam Store. What will happen to them when I move? Will I still be able to play them or will they be locked?

Solution 1:

While I cannot find any official Steam documentation (there are lot's of reddit posts however, this one for example), I can share my own experience.

I moved from Russia to the U.S. in 2017, and this is what happened:

1. Currency in my wallet was converted to USD.
2. My shop is now US shop - all prices are in USD.
3. All my games are in place, I can download and play them.
4. All my inventory is untouched. After grace period I was able to sell / buy items on community market again.
5. Some of my games were originally region-locked to Russia - and they still are! For example, I have Rainbow Six: Siege - for me it had only russian localization. When I reinstalled it in the US - it still was in Russian! No problems with playing on NA servers though.

I think for India situation should be the same. However, there is additional censorship for games in some other countries - see concerns about it in Will I be able to play my Steam games when I move from Russia to Germany? If not, what can I do? .
