Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by $4.05, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $4.99 launch price. That is 19% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.

The blurred area is the rest of the history. 266 further data points reach back to May 1, 2016 — 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.

Lowest recorded price: $0.99 on Feb 11, 2021. That is the current price.
