PANICORE Steam Revenue & Sales Estimates

Q: How much has PANICORE earned on Steam?

Based on our analysis using the Boxleiter method, we estimate PANICORE's total gross revenue on Steam at approximately $2,972,039. This estimate comes with a confidence range: Conservative estimate (x20): $1,917,445 Calibrated midpoint (x31): $2,972,039 Optimistic estimate (x60): $5,752,334 The actual revenue may vary due to regional pricing, seasonal discounts, and refund rates.

Q: How many copies has PANICORE sold on Steam?

With 10,547 Steam reviews and a 81% positive rating, we estimate PANICORE has sold between 210,940 and 632,820 copies, with a best estimate of 326,957. 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.

Q: How much does ZTEK Studio earn from PANICORE?

After Steam's tiered platform fee of effectively 30.0%, ZTEK Studio keeps an estimated $2,080,427 from PANICORE's gross revenue of $2,972,039. Here's the breakdown: Gross Revenue: $2,972,039 Steam's Fee (30.0%): -$891,612 Developer Revenue: $2,080,427 Note: This doesn't account for publisher shares, taxes, or development costs.

Q: What percentage does Steam take from PANICORE?

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 PANICORE, with an estimated gross revenue of $2,972,039, this results in an effective rate of 30.0%. Steam keeps approximately $891,612 and ZTEK Studio receives $2,080,427.

Q: How accurate are these revenue estimates for PANICORE?

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 ($1,917,445 to $5,752,334) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x31) and a calibrated ASP of $9.

Q: What would PANICORE earn on Epic Games Store instead?

If PANICORE generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, ZTEK Studio would keep approximately $2,735,394 - that's $654,967 more than on Steam. At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $236,645. 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 $2,080,427. Note: This is a hypothetical comparison. Actual sales volumes differ significantly between platforms, and Steam's larger user base typically drives substantially higher sales.

Q: How long do players spend in PANICORE?

According to SteamSpy data, players spend an average of 4.6 hours in PANICORE, with a median playtime of 3.1 hours. This indicates solid player engagement.

Step by step

1
Capture Steam review volume as the primary demand signal
10,547 reviews and a 81% positive rating are used as the starting point because Steam review counts correlate strongly with paid ownership.
2
Apply a calibrated Boxleiter multiplier
For PANICORE, we use a midpoint multiplier of ×31 and show a wider range from ×20 to ×60 to reflect uncertainty.
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
Translate gross revenue into developer revenue
We then apply Steam's effective fee rate of 30.0%. That turns an estimated $2,972,039 in gross revenue into roughly $2,080,427 retained by the developer.
