Release Radar & launch dates
Find the quiet weeks and pick your launch date with confidence.
How does the Release Radar find a good launch week?
It rates every week ahead by how many games like yours launch then, how big they are and how firm their dates are.
What do Quiet, Mild, Busy and Packed mean?
They describe how crowded a week is with games like yours, from Quiet to Packed, with the busiest week you can see at 100.
What are "Your best weeks"?
Your best weeks are the quietest upcoming weeks for a game like yours, picked from the months ahead.
Does the radar show Next Fest and the Steam sales?
Yes. Next Fest, the big seasonal sales and the Steam festivals your game fits are marked right on your radar.
I changed my release date on Steam, but the radar still shows the old one. Why?
Give it a day. Your new date reaches us within a day and your radar refreshes overnight.
A game I know is launching is not on my radar. Why?
It may not have an exact date yet, may be too different from your game to count, or may sit behind the bigger games listed that week.
What is my launch plan this week?
Every Monday, three things to do for your game this week, written from your rivals' moves, your launch window and Steam's calendar.
