FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know before you plan your launch with us.

Still curious?

We're happy to help with anything, from picking rivals to choosing a plan.

Ask us anything
Where does the data come from?

Straight from Steam's public store: store pages, tags, release dates, reviews, followers and player counts. Your own sales and wishlist numbers only show up if you connect Steamworks, and they stay private to you and your team.

How do you know a week is crowded?

We look at the games most like yours and when they launch. The closer the match, the bigger the game and the firmer its date, the hotter that week gets. One glance shows you where the crowd is, and where it isn't.

What are followers?

Players who follow a game on Steam. It's the best public sign of buzz before launch, and a great way to see how you stack up against your rivals.

How fresh is the data?

Fresh every day. The games you track are checked daily, player counts several times a day, and store page changes show up fast, so you're never planning on old news.

Is LaunchRivals made by Valve?

No. LaunchRivals is independent and not affiliated with Valve or Steam.

Your best launch week is out there. Go find it.
