Step by step

  1. 1

    Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal

    57,318 reviews and a 84% 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 CODE VEIN, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×23 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 $9, we estimate a realized average sale price of $57 to account for discounting over time.

  4. 4

    Translate gross revenue into developer revenue

    We then apply Steam's effective fee rate of 24.0%. That turns an estimated $75,130,715 in gross revenue into roughly $57,104,572 retained by the developer.

Revenue estimates for CODE VEIN use the Boxleiter method with a broad range from x20 to x60. For the best estimate we use a calibrated midpoint of x23 and a calibrated average sale price of $57 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.

How much has CODE VEIN earned on Steam?

  • Calibrated midpoint (x23): $75,130,715

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 x23 that adjusts for the title's age, price tier, genre, and review profile.

  • Gross Revenue: $75,130,715

  • Developer Revenue: $57,104,572

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

What percentage does Steam take from CODE VEIN?

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 CODE VEIN, with an estimated gross revenue of $75,130,715, this results in an effective rate of 24.0%. Steam keeps approximately $18,026,143 and Bandai Namco Studios receives $57,104,572.

How accurate are these revenue estimates for CODE VEIN?

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 ($65,331,056 to $195,993,169) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x23) and a calibrated ASP of $57.

What would CODE VEIN earn on Epic Games Store instead?
