Step by step

  1. 1

    Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal

    6,432 reviews and a 92% 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 Mount & Blade, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×31 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 $10, we estimate a realized average sale price of $9 to account for discounting over time.

  4. 4

    Translate gross revenue into developer revenue

    We then apply Steam's effective fee rate of 30.0%. That turns an estimated $1,812,473 in gross revenue into roughly $1,268,731 retained by the developer.

Revenue estimates for Mount & Blade use the Boxleiter method with a broad range from x20 to x60. For the best estimate we use a calibrated midpoint of x31 and a calibrated average sale price of $9 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 estimate comes with a confidence range:

  • Conservative estimate (x20): $1,169,338
  • Calibrated midpoint (x31): $1,812,473
  • Optimistic estimate (x60): $3,508,013

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

With 6,432 Steam reviews and a 92% positive rating, we estimate Mount & Blade has sold between 128,640 and 385,920 copies, with a best estimate of 199,392.

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 x31 that adjusts for the title's age, price tier, genre, and review profile.

After Steam's tiered platform fee of effectively 30.0%, TaleWorlds Entertainment keeps an estimated $1,268,731 from Mount & Blade's gross revenue of $1,812,473.

Here's the breakdown:

  • Gross Revenue: $1,812,473

  • Developer Revenue: $1,268,731

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

What percentage does Steam take from Mount & Blade?

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 Mount & Blade, with an estimated gross revenue of $1,812,473, this results in an effective rate of 30.0%. Steam keeps approximately $543,742 and TaleWorlds Entertainment receives $1,268,731.

How accurate are these revenue estimates for Mount & Blade?

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 ($1,169,338 to $3,508,013) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x31) and a calibrated ASP of $9.

What would Mount & Blade earn on Epic Games Store instead?

If Mount & Blade generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, TaleWorlds Entertainment would keep approximately $1,714,976 - that's $446,245 more than on Steam.

At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $97,497. 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 $1,268,731.

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