Step by step

  1. 1

    Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal

    113,496 reviews and a 86% positive rating are used as the starting point because Steam review counts correlate strongly with paid ownership.

  2. 2

    Apply a calibrated Boxleiter multiplier

    For Assassin's Creed® Origins, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×27 and show a wider range from ×20 to ×60 to reflect uncertainty.

  3. 3

    Use a realistic realized sale price instead of only list price

    Rather than relying only on the current price of $60, we estimate a realized average sale price of $35 to account for discounting over time.

  4. 4

    Translate gross revenue into developer revenue

    We then apply Steam's effective fee rate of 22.8%. That turns an estimated $108,448,833 in gross revenue into roughly $83,759,066 retained by the developer.

Revenue estimates for Assassin's Creed® Origins use the Boxleiter method with a broad range from x20 to x60. For the best estimate we use a calibrated midpoint of x27 and a calibrated average sale price of $35 instead of a flat 30x/0.75 model. Factors like age, price tier, discount history, genre, and review profile all affect the true reviews-to-sales ratio.

Based on our analysis using the Boxleiter method, we estimate Assassin's Creed® Origins's total gross revenue on Steam at approximately $108,448,833.

This estimate comes with a confidence range:

  • Conservative estimate (x20): $80,332,469
  • Calibrated midpoint (x27): $108,448,833
  • Optimistic estimate (x60): $240,997,406

The actual revenue may vary due to regional pricing, seasonal discounts, and refund rates.

How many copies has Assassin's Creed® Origins sold on Steam?

With 113,496 Steam reviews and a 86% positive rating, we estimate Assassin's Creed® Origins has sold between 2,269,920 and 6,809,760 copies, with a best estimate of 3,064,392.

This is based on the Boxleiter method, which uses the observation that roughly 1 in every 20 to 60 buyers leaves a Steam review. For the midpoint we do not assume a universal 30x value; we use a calibrated multiplier of x27 that adjusts for the title's age, price tier, genre, and review profile.

How much does Ubisoft Montreal earn from Assassin's Creed® Origins?

After Steam's tiered platform fee of effectively 22.8%, Ubisoft Montreal keeps an estimated $83,759,066 from Assassin's Creed® Origins's gross revenue of $108,448,833.

Here's the breakdown:

  • Gross Revenue: $108,448,833
  • Steam's Fee (22.8%): -$24,689,767
  • Developer Revenue: $83,759,066

Note: This doesn't account for publisher shares, taxes, or development costs.

What percentage does Steam take from Assassin's Creed® Origins?

Steam uses a tiered revenue sharing model that reduces the platform's cut as a game earns more:

  • First $10 million: 30% to Steam, 70% to developer
  • $10M to $50M: 25% to Steam, 75% to developer
  • Above $50M: 20% to Steam, 80% to developer

For Assassin's Creed® Origins, with an estimated gross revenue of $108,448,833, this results in an effective rate of 22.8%. Steam keeps approximately $24,689,767 and Ubisoft Montreal receives $83,759,066.

How accurate are these revenue estimates for Assassin's Creed® Origins?

These estimates use the Boxleiter method, a widely-used industry approach that estimates game sales from the number of Steam reviews.

Factors that affect accuracy:

  • Review-to-purchase ratio varies by genre
  • Discount history - games with frequent deep sales may have higher ratios
  • Regional pricing - different prices in different markets are not captured
  • Refunds - Steam's return policy means some counted sales were refunded
  • Bundled sales - keys sold through third-party bundles may not generate reviews

We provide a confidence range ($80,332,469 to $240,997,406) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x27) and a calibrated ASP of $35.

What would Assassin's Creed® Origins earn on Epic Games Store instead?

If Assassin's Creed® Origins generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Montreal would keep approximately $95,554,973 - that's $11,795,907 more than on Steam.

At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $12,893,860. Epic charges 0% on the first $1 million in annual per-app revenue and then 12% on the remaining amount. On GOG (30% cut), the developer would earn approximately $75,914,183.

Note: This is a hypothetical comparison. Actual sales volumes differ significantly between platforms, and Steam's larger user base typically drives substantially higher sales.
