Steam Intelligence
Steam Game Revenue Calculator
Estimates a game's lifetime sales from its Steam review count using the Boxleiter method — roughly 1 in every N purchasers leaves a review, so reviews × N approximates units sold. Search any currently-charting game below for live numbers, or enter your own.

Assumptions
Boxleiter multiplier (reviews → units sold)40×
Lower for games with a heavy non-Steam or console audience; higher for older/niche titles where review prompts were rarer.
Effective discount impact15%
Most lifetime sales happen during Steam sales at a reduced price, not at launch-day list price.
Steam's platform cut30%
Drops to 25% above $10M lifetime revenue, 20% above $50M — lower this if the game is a known top seller.

Read the numbers as a rough order of magnitude, not a precise figure. The Boxleiter ratio is a population-level average — it's noticeably less reliable for games with very few reviews, and doesn't account for platform-exclusive deals, bundle sales, or a publisher's cut on top of Steam's. Treat this as a starting estimate to sanity-check other numbers against, not a substitute for real sales data.
