Summary
Playasia clarifies that the U.S. import tariffs won’t affect video game orders since most are made outside China. The retailer emphasizes that games are primarily produced in Japan or Southeast Asia rather than China, ensuring they’re untethered from Chinese-manufactured goods. Starting May 2nd, Playasia will add a "country of origin" field to its product pages, providing readers with clearer info on sourcing.
