Step by step

  1. 1

    Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal

    27,148 reviews and a 72% 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 Far Cry® 6, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×29 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 $48 to account for discounting over time.

  4. 4

    Translate gross revenue into developer revenue

    We then apply Steam's effective fee rate of 26.3%. That turns an estimated $37,782,143 in gross revenue into roughly $27,836,607 retained by the developer.

Revenue estimates for Far Cry® 6 use the Boxleiter method with a broad range from x20 to x60. For the best estimate we use a calibrated midpoint of x29 and a calibrated average sale price of $48 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much has Far Cry® 6 earned on Steam?

Based on our analysis using the Boxleiter method, we estimate Far Cry® 6's total gross revenue on Steam at approximately $37,782,143.

This estimate comes with a confidence range:

  • Conservative estimate (x20): $26,056,650
  • Calibrated midpoint (x29): $37,782,143
  • Optimistic estimate (x60): $78,169,951

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

How many copies has Far Cry® 6 sold on Steam?

With 27,148 Steam reviews and a 72% positive rating, we estimate Far Cry® 6 has sold between 542,960 and 1,628,880 copies, with a best estimate of 787,292.

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 x29 that adjusts for the title's age, price tier, genre, and review profile.

How much does Ubisoft Toronto earn from Far Cry® 6?

After Steam's tiered platform fee of effectively 26.3%, Ubisoft Toronto keeps an estimated $27,836,607 from Far Cry® 6's gross revenue of $37,782,143.

Here's the breakdown:

  • Gross Revenue: $37,782,143
  • Steam's Fee (26.3%): -$9,945,536
  • Developer Revenue: $27,836,607

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

What percentage does Steam take from Far Cry® 6?

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 Far Cry® 6, with an estimated gross revenue of $37,782,143, this results in an effective rate of 26.3%. Steam keeps approximately $9,945,536 and Ubisoft Toronto receives $27,836,607.

How accurate are these revenue estimates for Far Cry® 6?

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 ($26,056,650 to $78,169,951) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x29) and a calibrated ASP of $48.

What would Far Cry® 6 earn on Epic Games Store instead?

If Far Cry® 6 generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Toronto would keep approximately $33,368,286 - that's $5,531,679 more than on Steam.

At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $4,413,857. 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 $26,447,500.

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

How long do players spend in Far Cry® 6?

According to SteamSpy data, players spend an average of 30.4 hours in Far Cry® 6, with a median playtime of 16.9 hours. This indicates solid player engagement.
