Step by step

  1. 1

    Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal

    18,662 reviews and a 82% 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 Ghostwire: Tokyo, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×25 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 $57 to account for discounting over time.

  4. 4

    Translate gross revenue into developer revenue

    We then apply Steam's effective fee rate of 26.9%. That turns an estimated $26,588,685 in gross revenue into roughly $19,441,513 retained by the developer.

For the best estimate we use a calibrated midpoint of x25 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.

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 x25 that adjusts for the title's age, price tier, genre, and review profile.

  • 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

How accurate are these revenue estimates for Ghostwire: Tokyo?

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 ($21,270,948 to $63,812,843) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x25) and a calibrated ASP of $57.

What would Ghostwire: Tokyo earn on Epic Games Store instead?

If Ghostwire: Tokyo generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, Tango Gameworks would keep approximately $23,518,042 - that's $4,076,529 more than on Steam.

At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $3,070,642. 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 $18,612,079.

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