Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by $8.51, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $9.90 launch price. That is 14% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.

History
2 data points since Jul 27, 2026. Gaps mean nothing changed — the value carries forward.
The blurred area is the rest of the history. 111 further data points reach back to Nov 1, 2022 — your plan shows the last 90 days of it. How far each series in particular reaches is written on its own chart; not every one of them goes back that far. The shape in the blurred area is decoration, not data: the figures are not in this page at all. Plus unlocks the complete series.
The dashed line marks Jul 28, 2026, when steamlense started measuring. Everything to its left was backfilled from public sources — monthly review counts from Steam, price changes from IsThereAnyDeal, monthly player averages from SteamCharts. Those are monthly figures, so the curve is coarser there — one point a month instead of one a day.
Lowest recorded price: $0.99 on May 22, 2024.
