Sales estimates

Paid-game estimates use the same transparent multi-factor Boxleiter method. Free-to-play games never receive paid unit or revenue estimates.

Sales estimate

v1.0

20.2M to 47.1M

units (median: 33.6M)

≈ $172.7M to $402.9M modeled net revenue (fixed store-cut, refund, and regional-price assumptions applied)

20.2M median 47.1M

+ How is this calculated?

373,459 reviews × NB(90) = 33,611,310 median units

Heuristic display range: median × [0.6, 1.4]. Boundary protection: NB ∈ [15, 150].

Methodology & limitations

Sales estimates use an additive Boxleiter-derived heuristic against public Steam review counts. They are not authoritative sales data, and the fixed display range is not a statistically validated confidence interval. Actual results may fall outside it, especially for deeply discounted or bundle-heavy titles. Algorithm version v1.0. Read the exact method and validation status.

How comparison pages work

Verdicts are objective, they call out which game scores higher on a single measurable axis (reviews, price, sales estimate, recency). They don't claim "better." Tag overlap is computed from the public Steam tag list. Sales estimates use a multi-factor Boxleiter method whose formula is shown in full on each game's page.
