Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $29.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.

History

6 data points since Jul 28, 2026. Gaps mean nothing changed — the value carries forward.

Revenue (est.) ~$6m → ~$6m
Reviews 3,991 → 4,014
Price $14.99 → $14.99
Positive reviews 70.1% → 70.1%

The revenue curve is an estimate, not a measurement. It is the only calculated series here: each interval takes the review growth of that period, multiplies it by the sales-per-review factor and by the price actually charged at the time, and adds the result to the running total. That is why it climbs more slowly through discount periods than the review curve next to it. The last point is the same figure quoted above — gross, before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.

The blurred area is the rest of the history. 117 further data points reach back to Jan 28, 2025 — 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: $14.99 on Aug 21, 2026. That is the current price.
