Pilgrims Steam Revenue & Sales Estimates

Based on our analysis using the Boxleiter method, we estimate Pilgrims's total gross revenue on Steam at approximately $974,988.

This estimate comes with a confidence range:

• Conservative estimate (x20): $649,992
• Calibrated midpoint (x30): $974,988
• Optimistic estimate (x60): $1,949,976

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

With 5,110 Steam reviews and a 96% positive rating, we estimate Pilgrims has sold between 102,200 and 306,600 copies, with a best estimate of 153,300.

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 x30 that adjusts for the title's age, price tier, genre, and review profile.

After Steam's tiered platform fee of effectively 30.0%, Amanita Design keeps an estimated $682,492 from Pilgrims's gross revenue of $974,988.

Here's the breakdown:

• Gross Revenue: $974,988
• Steam's Fee (30.0%): -$292,496
• Developer Revenue: $682,492

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

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 Pilgrims, with an estimated gross revenue of $974,988, this results in an effective rate of 30.0%. Steam keeps approximately $292,496 and Amanita Design receives $682,492.

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 ($649,992 to $1,949,976) to reflect this uncertainty. For the best estimate we combine the Boxleiter range with a calibrated midpoint (x30) and a calibrated ASP of $6.

If Pilgrims generated the same gross revenue on the Epic Games Store, Amanita Design would keep approximately $974,988 - that's $292,496 more than on Steam.

At this revenue level, Epic's concrete platform fee would be $0. 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 $682,492.

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

According to SteamSpy data, players spend an average of 2 hours in Pilgrims, with a median playtime of 1.7 hours. This indicates solid player engagement.
